Title: Not Her AlphaSeries: Not ThisAuthor: Annie NicholasDesignation: Book 6, Full-Length, *Can Be Read As Standalone, Paranormal Romance, NO CliffhangerReading Platform: Kindle EditionMy Rating: Five Delightfully Entertaining Stars******Although the author gives ample backstory, this reviewer strongly recommends reading the books of the series sequentially for maximum enjoyment and to avoid possible spoilers.I can't believe I'm saying this, but I loved, loved, loved Not Her Alpha, the sixth outrageously cute release in the Not This Series by Annie Nicholas! Yup, it's true; I really cannot believe I enjoyed it - but I did. Please allow me to explain. I'm a huge Annie Nicholas fan and usually one-click everything she releases. I think I own every single book she's ever published, and this series is one of my all-time favorites, yet I almost didn't purchase this book. Why? Because I disliked the hero. Actually, dislike doesn't even begin to describe how I felt about Chris Jenkins. I literally hated the guy. For anyone following the series, you may remember Jenkins was originally introduced in the second book, Not His Werewolf, as the Alpha of the Riverbend Pack. This dude was such a total jerk. I won't go into details or give any spoilers in case someone hasn't read the other books, but let's just say we didn't know the whole story - until now. I thought it would be impossible to make Chris Jenkins likable, and certainly not redeemable, but I'm a longtime fan, totally addicted to Nicholas' work, and just could not resist the temptation. Soooo, I put my trust in the author, one-clicked and dove in. Best decision ever! I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong (usually), but in this case, I was very wrong, because I LOVED Not Her Alpha and once again, Annie Nicholas didn't disappoint! I snickered, snorted, giggled, sniffled, and sobbed through the entire story but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and well entertained. Hey, don't judge; I'm a very emotional reader! lol... Not Her Alpha is a sexy, fast-paced, easy-to-follow, full-length, standalone paranormal tale filled to the brim with side-splitting humor, endearing characters, heartbreaking angst, dreamy romance and of course, a heartwarming happy ending. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with his and her perspectives. The dialogue is snappy, hilarious, well-executed, and flows effortlessly. No one appreciates a well-written story better than me, but no matter how great the technical components and execution, without a cast of great characters, it's all for naught. And that's what I adore about the work of Annie Nicholas, she delivers the whole package, time after time. Each time I open a Nicholas book, I'm always assured a satisfying read, and Not Her Alpha was no exception. Werewolf Alpha Chris Jenkins and Dhampir Jade Ellington were such an unlikely couple. Both had heartbreaking histories they were trying to overcome, but the heart wants what the heart wants. Sigh... So romantic and angsty! And their sexual chemistry was smokin' hot! These two lonely souls were so perfect for each other. Although the banter, bickering, and interaction between Chris and Jade were often laugh-out-loud funny, don't let all the humor fool you. Chris and Jade had a difficult journey to find their happy ending.No spoilers from me but I will say this... A misunderstood Alpha werewolf with the weight of the world on his shoulders, including a lovely cursed dhampir to protect and a ragtag pack of werewolves to provide for-check! A beautiful, lonely dhampir (half human/half vampire) held prisoner by her past and a handsome alpha werewolf who can't admit his feelings but willing to risk everything to protect her-check! An evil grimoire that could cost Jade everything, including her life-check! Vampires, dhampires, dragons, werewolves, gargoyles, witches, and black magic-Check! Danger, heartache, and lots of angst-check! Humor, attraction, passion, steamy sex, and sweet romance-you bet! That and a whole lot more!Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! I really, really did! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers. Will I read this author again? Absolutely! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

Cute, quick read. Couple of little spicy scenes. Cute plot. I haven't read the other books, I thought it was completely stand alone, but, you probably get more giggles knowing the back stories of the many characters from the previous books. One doesn't HAVE to read them first, but it's probably best.I'm not sure If the typos/grammatical errors are Kindle only problems, but there were enough for me to find it a little ridiculous. I mean, if I'd get deducted on a paper for it, I expect not to find it in a professional publication. A. I truly hope these error were created in converting to kindle and not made by the author B. Shouldn't an editor catch basic grammar errors?Errors happen, but this book simply had too many for a published author and/or a professional publication. It grated on my nerves enough to make me hesitant to check out other works by this author.

Wow!!!! This book was so fun to read, hard to put down, exciting funny and with some raw emotions. I have always loved this series but this book? Definitely my favorite in the bunch.Character breakdown;Chris: I didn't think I like the alpha much in the second book he came off as a jerk. But he most definitely struck me as a wounded man, and apparently I was right. I loved his overprotectiveness over Jade and his stubborn ways.Jade: oh she was a funny one I adored her so much! I loved that she was given too much sass and a spitfire tongue. She was definitely the perfect match for Chris.Favorite quote: He grabbed her by the shoulders. “You are everything. No soulmate could exist that would understand me the way you do. Treat me the way you do. Shifters see me as an alpha and so would that potential soulmate. You, on the other hand, see Chris. I can’t live without that.”I thoroughly enjoyed this book much more than the others and that's saying a lot. I loved what Chris was willing to give up for Jade and I loved that Jade protected him like he did her. Also Viktor was creepy funny, and what is the story between Armand and Chris's aunt? We going to hear about that? Lol. Also thank you for the book loving and book sharing alpha now I want one! Lol.

I NEVER saw that coming!First of all, this whole series is just a blast to read. Annie has this unique writing style that combines intense action, mystery, quest-like adventures and humor. Oh and smoking-hot love. Can't forget to mention that!I met Jade in a previous book and hated her. But, it turns out, that I simply didn't really know her. Now knowing her better, I very much like her. Her humility and teasing humor made her very likable, in my opinion.Again, thanks to a previous book, I didn't like Chris very much, either. But, boy, I sure did like him by the end. His is the ultimate redemption story, and I REALLY enjoyed reading it!(No spoilers in this review)My favorite part of this book was towards the end...and I don't mean that in a bad "I couldn't wait for this book to end" kind of way. Chris did something that was COMPLETELY unexpected (and BRILLIANT on Annie's part for coming up with the idea). Like, I thought I knew what would happen, but I was dead wrong. And it was so exciting! I LOVE when I get surprised! Seriously, if you like shifter romances, this will just knock your socks off.This series needs lotsa more books. I can't wait to read them all!!!

Like the others in this series, this book was fun. A lot of visits from former characters. I would definitely recommend reading the series in order and together. I allowed months between reading and forgot storylines.

... after Not Her Dragon. Chris is an irresistable leading 'man'. I'm not usually a damsel in distress lover but Jade does not overcook it and Chris is only a chest-beating Alpha when absolutely necessary (lol!) so it's all good. I really wanted to know what happened with the grimoire after Not Her Gargoyle and the plot in this book didn't disappoint. Would love to see Cedric, Nikita and Ryota get their own stories!

Line these books 📚 they are a quick read , full of quick funny lines and I can't believe it moments. I am never disappointed hope there's more to come 👍

This is a wonderful story of loss, hope, fear and connection. Jade is an interesting character. Having no sense of home having been an unwilling practitioner of black magic, she is now ensconced with Chris as he protects her and her book. When the book is taken Chris will do anything to get it back.There after lots of twists and turns. Fury and passion.I love the characters and the detail in which they are written.I recommend this book and author.

what can i say that noone else has about this book,number 5 in the Not His/Hers series, i have read all these books and i love them,im always waiting for the next one to come out. This book revolves around Chris an alpha werewolf and Jade a dhampir and their search for a stolen book but their journey finds them finding much much more. a few characters pop in from past books so i would recommend you read them from book 1 believe me you wont be disappointed

Enjoyed this and. Loved the ending. Very fitting end. Strange how Cedric is "running errands" for Eion??? Cedric is more powerful and this doesn't really fit.
