No Wolves Road, 1

No Wolves Road is a human town constantly visited by different pack wolves. There is one rule—no conflict in town. For Eloise Richards, she refuses to become another notch on any wolf's bedpost. She noticed how the wolves, men and women, come and use them. None of them want a human mate.

Beau only intended to help the young woman who didn’t like to be flirted with. Now he can’t get her out of his mind, and she seems to be everywhere he turns.

She has no intention of falling for the wolf with the reputation for being a nasty alpha, but one kiss, and all bets are off.

Beau knows he’s messed up when he discovers she's a virgin. What was meant to be a quick fling, soon turns into much more.

Eloise doesn’t expect him to take the news of her pregnancy well, but when he accuses her of being with someone else, that hurts more than anything. She will never forgive him.

He messed up and this time, it might just cost him his woman and child. Beau knows he’s got to do something to make it right. But what can he do. Eloise won’t talk to him. She doesn’t want anything to do with him. How can he fix this?

Be Warned: anal sex

 

Excerpt:

Another full moon was coming soon and Beau knew he should stick to his ranch and not go anywhere near No Wolves Road. Nor should he follow the lemony scent he’d become so addicted to. But he just couldn’t help himself. It was like he was drawn to her scent.

His wolf certainly didn’t have a problem following her. It had been a couple of weeks since he’d taken that kiss. Every Monday, he’d been sure to be as far away from the kitchen as possible. He expected Rose to tell him that something happened and Eloise was no longer cooking for them. Food kept appearing and the meals were delicious.

In a strange way, Eloise had helped his pack as there was now no arguing around the dinner table about how much the food sucked. There was no competition between his men and women about who had the best food. This he did prefer.

That still didn’t give him the right to be at her house, in her backyard, and watching Eloise as she stood staring up at the night.

His wolf was long exhausted and for Beau, he was able to transform.

“You shouldn’t be here,” Eloise said.

He was in the shadows but her gaze was right on him.

“And you shouldn’t be out in the yard.”

“It’s a quiet night,” she said. “The stars are beautiful, and it’s getting cold. It won’t be long now before the first snowfall.”

She looked even more beautiful than he remembered. The smile on her lips was a temptation he just couldn’t deny himself.

He stepped out of the shadows and seeing as it was a full moon, he didn’t have a single item of clothing on.

“You’re naked,” she said.

“It’s the full moon.”

“And you’re not going to cover yourself up?”

“No.” He, like all other wolves, didn’t have a problem with nakedness. They were not like humans, who needed to stay modest.

Closing the distance between them, he stood in front of her, and Eloise tilted her head back, looking at him.

Neither of them spoke for several minutes. Words failed him.

Her blonde hair fell around her in waves and curls. At the same time, her eyes seemed to shine brighter, almost a deeper blue than he’d ever seen. She wore a sleeveless t-shirt top and shorts, but she had a wrap around her body.

“Your mom will be worried about you,” he said, looking toward the house.

“My mom and sister are not there. I’m alone.”

“You shouldn’t have said that.” He just couldn’t resist and reaching for her, he gripped the back of her neck, not too tightly, but just enough to draw her closer to him, and then he pressed his lips to hers. It was what he’d been missing these past few weeks. The feel of her lips on his.

He expected Eloise to push him away, to not want his kisses, but she accepted them, moaning his name, and as she did, he knew he couldn’t say no. Not to her kisses, not to this woman. He needed her, more than he needed to breathe.

Letting go of her neck, he ran his hands down her body, gripping her ass, and then, without any struggle at all, he lifted her up.

Eloise and Beau
Written by NikiG on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise has never been interested in any wolf but when Beau saves her, she can’t stop thinking about him. He wants her but knows a human will never be his mate. When she shares news, he reacts badly. Is it possible he was could have been wrong, that she was always meant to be his? Will she ever forgive him? A captivating story

Beau, the Nasty Alpha and Eloise, the human he can’t stop thinking about
Written by Maggi on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise lived in No Wolves Road, a small town that got along with the wolves. The wolves came to town and used the men and women for their pleasure, but never mated with a human, only their own kind. When Beau observed Eloise, he was very impressed with her, but could he act on his feelings. A good storyline and characters that kept your interest.

Beau alpha
Written by Redfaeryrose on 28th Jul 2024

I liked reading the author’s works and am always looking forward to her next release. Our MMC had the reputation of being a Nasty Alpha and i am happy to report that he is not. He is a moron for nearly ruining a good thing that happened in his life. I am happy to report that he had realized the error of his ways and has turned out to be a good husband, a father and a good alpha

What an amazing book
Written by Brooke T on 28th Jul 2024

Sam Crescent has done it again with Nasty Alpha!!! I decided this book in a day it was that good!! Sam Crescent has written an original storyline filled with drama, second chances and a surprise baby between a shifter and a human. Be prepared to laugh, cry and maybe want to throw your kindle. The characters are complex and have a chemistry that is undeniable and scorching hot. Eloise is independent, stubborn and loves her family. I loved her determination to not fall or get tangled up with a shifter. I loved how her resistance fell away slowly and when faced with Alpha Beau’s treatment she had a steel spine and didn’t put up with it. Alpha Beau was older, wiser in some ways, and trying to help his pack survive and grow. I loved his grovel and dedication to get what he wanted most after he messed it all up. This was a beautifully written heartbreaking and heartwarming romance. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this shifter world!!!!

Eloise and Beau
Written by Jen9731 on 28th Jul 2024

Nasty Alpha is Book 1 of the No Wolves Road series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, paranormal, fated mates, curvy girl gets her wolf shifter romance. Eloise is a 25 year old curvy virgin. Beau is an older, hunky wolf shifter and the Alpha of his pack. When he and Eloise meet, he is instantly attracted to the sweet, curvy human. But Eloise doesn't like how the wolves use humans for fun, but never mate with them. But she and Beau dance around the attraction for months, and she begins doing some work at the pack ranch. Things get hot and steamy, but when she ends up pregnant, Beau accuses her of cheating, breaking her heart. He thought a wolf couldn't get a human pregnant as they weren't mates... but he is wrong on both counts. Can he win his woman and child back? Will she forgive him? They had such great chemistry, but both made me so mad at times with their stubbornness, but luckily, they resolve their issues, and we get an amazing HEA. I'm looking forward to this series!.

Beau and Eloise
Written by MellaM on 28th Jul 2024

I loved this book though was frustrated with both characters at the different points throughout. But that just goes to show invested I was in the story -- I was ready to yell at these folks as if they were real people. Eloise doesn't do shifters. She has nothing against them, she just sees how they are firmly in the fling category when it comes to humans and she wants something serious. That all changes when she meets Beau, an older wolf who doesn't assume she'll fall into his lap. Sparks fly and soon they are horizontal and everything else. They way two single adults sneak around to try to keep this on the low made me smdh. Like who are you fooling? Shifters have a great sense of smell. Pretty soon Eloise is expecting and Beau says some horrible things, proving that there is no age limit to being a jerk. Eloise has a stubborn streak a mile wide and I cheered to finally see a book where the MMC had to grovel and grovel hard. You go Eloise! Then Eloise started being a jerk (hey--we're equal opportunity over here) and I was off yelling into the abyss. Thankfully, the author ensured there was a HEA. These two jerky folks loved each other and it was great to see them figure it out. I'd be interested in seeing a story with Luna's sister or perhaps another featuring a wolf from Beau's pack.

Great Start.... Beau and Elouise
Written by thischickloves2read! on 28th Jul 2024

I have just started to really dive into the world of shifter romance. This book is an enjoyable read. It is different from your average shifter romance and that is what grabbed my attention from the start. It is well-written with good story development and interesting secondary characters (I hope to learn more about as they are funny and have stories to tell). Hopefully the series is continued.

Interesting Story, Basic Writing
Written by PT reader on 28th Jul 2024

As a quick and easy getaway from real life, this is a decent book. Don’t expect a lot, just simple reading and a few cool characters, and you won’t be disappointed. The “action” is actually pretty good, just truly basic writing. I wouldn’t mind continuing with this series, if I had about an hour to kill and just needed to meet some new characters in an interesting setting.

Grumpy alpha has to grovel
Written by Reensburger on 28th Jul 2024

I really enjoyed Beau and Eloise's story. Eloise isn't a fan of wolves. She sees them having fun with humans but they never mate with them. Imagine her surprise when she finds herself attracted to the grumpy alpha wolf. Beau is just as surprised that he's attracted to her too. But then, as men do, he messes up big time leaving her pregnant and loathing him. Super hot spicy scenes and all the good stuff you expect from Sam Crescent.

5/5
Absolutely fantastic….
Written by NoreenK on 28th Jul 2024

Fantastic read. Sam Crescent has written a great page turning story. I loved this first book in the No Wolves Road series. What a great start. Beau and Eloise make a great read, the adventures of falling in love, between a supernatural and human, without knowing the consequences. Finding out that love knows no bounds. This is a must have for all lovers of shifter novels. And a great add to any library.

Nasty Alpha
Written by Stacii on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise and Beau’s story has them meeting at her town when all the shifters come to town to have fun. She don’t let any of them get to her but when she meets him they have instant chemistry. When they get together and then she finds out she’s inspecting he accuses her of cheating and she is hurt and has nothing to do with him. How will he get her back when he realizes his mistakes. Rose is a helping hand and I can’t wait for her book

So good!
Written by Shelly44 on 28th Jul 2024

So good! I have read other novels by this author and loved them. This novel did not disappoint. I love a good paranormal novel with fated mates. From the first chapter this novel pulled me into the story and held on tight. Once I started reading I didn't want to put it down. I loved Beau and Eloise's story. I loved watching Beau realise that Eloise was his fated mate after he had treated her so badly. I loved the novel. I can't wait to see what this author has coming next.

Great shifter read
Written by Readstoforget on 28th Jul 2024

Enjoyed this one quite a lot. I liked the idea of humans living within the same town as wolves and being aware of them. Loved Beau and Eloise. I liked how hands off he was and how resilient Eloise was. She had a back bone.

Eloise & Beau
Written by Shell R on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise & Beau both live in a small town called No Wolves Road. A dispute between Eloise and another wolf placed her in Beau's path. Eloise starts providing cooking and laundry services to Beau ranch and their lust for each other kicks off. The question is how long will it take for one of them to fall in love. Rumor is wolves don't love humans but can Eloise be the exception? Enjoy ?

The Grumpy Alpha and the Virgin
Written by Luv2Read17 on 28th Jul 2024

The story takes place in the town of No Wolves Road, where humans and wolves coexist. Eloise is our virginal FMC and Beau is the older grumpy wolf who isn't a fan of humans. Eloise manages to get under Beau's skin and the sparks fly. This was a quick read and I really enjoyed it.

5/5
Loved the drama!!
Written by Samkat on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise is a human living in a town that has a lot of shifters. She knows better than to get involved with one since they tend to not want serious relationships with non shifters. However, there’s one shifter she couldn’t resist and her heart is at risk of being broken. Beau is an Alpha and he only meant for his time with Eloise to be a fun fling. Nothing serious, but that gets difficult when he can’t stop thinking about her and their time together causes some long term responsibilities. This was so good! Love a good romance where the guy is an idiot and has to redeem himself in his woman’s eyes!! Nice starting book to a new series. Looking forward to more.

4/5
Nasty Alpha
Written by Kelsey B on 28th Jul 2024

I’ve had hit or miss issues with some of the newer Sam Crescent releases, but I really enjoyed this one. I know Sam’s books aren’t known for being “long”, but I did find myself wanting more of this one. I liked that his pack accepted her as theirs. Sometimes in PNR, the pack refuses to accept a mate if the alpha doesn’t. I want more of the more prominent side character stories. I really think I’ll enjoy more of this series as they come.

5/5
A sweet and delicious read
Written by Sarah ES on 28th Jul 2024

I absolutely loved this book. I didn’t know it was going to be a love story in the beginning, but I am so happy it turned out that way. Eloise and Beau are the most unlikely couple, but soon find that they can’t resist each other!! This continues until a bump in the road has Beau showing his nasty side. Eloise can’t believe she fell for him, and soon realizes she’s in love with him. From then on out even though they try avoid contact with each other it soon becomes apparent that they still can’t stay away from each other, and they are they are still in love with each other!!

5/5
An enjoyable start to a new series
Written by EPM on 28th Jul 2024

I found this to be an enjoyable read - first in a new wolf shifter series, with an interesting approach - wolf shifters and humans living together, though it is generally understood that while they mix and hook-up, wolves don't find their mates among humans. It is this situation that creates the challenges between Eloise, a human and Beau Alpha, a wolf shifter, they have a strong attraction which they give in to (despite both having misgivings) however they don't have a future together, or do they? There are steamy times, miss-communication and mistrust, a sweet human and a grumpy Alpha, great families (both blood and found family) and second chances. I also enjoyed the side characters, Rose a wolf shifter and Dorothy, Eliose's sister, would be great if they had their own future books.

5/5

The wonderful beginning to a new series
Written by KateM on 28th Jul 2024

Eloise and Beau make a great couple and it’s fun to see their relationship develop. There are some twists and turns that happen as they make their way to their happily ever after. It was wonderful to meet the other characters in the book who I look forward to meeting again in other books.

Eloise and Beau
Written by SeahawkGirl on 28th Jul 2024

I love a good grovel and usually Sam's books don't make the MMC try very hard to win back the girl. This book was an exception and I loved it. Eloise lives in a town that has many wolves visiting regularly. Her sister frequently hooks up with the wolves but Eloise has no interest in being used by a wolf. She does not know of any wolves that have ever mated or married a human. Knowing all of this she starts a romantic relationship with Beau Alpha. He has a reputation for being nasty to everyone. Eloise has not seen this side of Beau until she tells him she is pregnant. He accuses her of cheating. There is no way he could father her child. She could only get pregnant if she was his mate and she was not his mate. Eloise denies cheating on Beau and orders him to leave her home. The rest of Beau's pack all acknowledge that Eloise is carrying Beau's child and pledge to protect Eloise and the baby. It doesn't take long for Beau to realize he made a big mistake. Eloise stuck up for herself and her baby. She did not immediately accept Beau back. He had to work for her forgiveness and a chance to be in her life again. Very good book. I look forward to reading more in this series. I also really liked Eloise's friendship with Rose. It was a nice addition to the story and I hope she gets her happy ever after soon.

4/5
Loved it
Written by Nikki R on 28th Jul 2024

This was an intriguing paranormal romance. It was a bit different because Beau doesn’t seem to know that Eloise is his mate. It’s not until he breaks her heart that he realizes what his wolf has always known. This was a great surprise pregnancy romance.

Instant attraction
Written by A Schofield on 28th Jul 2024

I really liked this story of how grump Beau met no-nonsense Eloise. Both were attracted to each other and both were stubborn. This made for a fun read. I thought that this book was steamy but romantic. The book wasn’t that long but it packed in a load of detail and left some great openings for following books in the series. This is a great read. 5 stars.

Played some wicked games with my head and heart
Written by Aunt G on 28th Jul 2024

I thought this was a good read. I'm going to be completely honest here and admit that Eloise, Beau and their romance really played some wicked games with my head and heart. The story was engaging, and I adored Eloise, and my heart just broke for her. The big drawback here for me was Beau. He just made me so mad.

*spoilers* Eloise stays away from men and particulary from wolves. Often witnessing how they fool around with humans, but never mate with them. She works together with her mother and sister, they have multiple bussinesse. The ssister often gets involved with wolves. While searching for her sister she meets Beau, who has the nickname nasty alpha. He lives on his farm, not really belonging to a pack, but having his own little pack of wolves who are not that social. They have a strong pull and finally they can not resist the temptation of getting involved. Eloise, who is cooking for the pack and befriends a female wolf Rose, who normally is not fond of humans. Eloise and Beau both fall for each other, but tell themselves they have no future, but enjoy each other so much. When things get serious and Eloise needs him the most, he deeply hurts her. Will he admit to himself she is his mate and will he have a chance to make it right? I enjoyed this story very much. Beau has this two sides in him and is reluctant to listen to his heart and wolf and nearly loses the most important persons in his life. Eloise is a strong woman. Also liked to see her relationship with her mother and sister develop.

Hot and steamy
Written by LBing on 28th Jul 2024

This was such a great shifter romance that brings a gal, Eloise, who's determined to not be used by a shifter just for smexy times, and an alpha with a bad rep, Beau, into each other's paths. He's surprised at how staunch she is at maintaining her distance from shifters, and can't help admiring her for it. Sadly, he falls under her spell as she helps his pack. Eloise can't help but admit to herself how hot Beau is and decides to go for it. What follows is a fab romance with a surprise pregnancy, shock, repudiation and lots of groveling to go with the hot spice. I loved how this romance unfolded and can't wait for more to come. So fun!

This is Beau, a wolf shifter rancher and Eloise, a female human's story. It starts with Eloise looking for her sister in a bar full of shifters. Beau sticks up for her when another shifter starts hitting on her. There is an instant attraction which they act upon after they inadvertently meet again because of her business. Beau believes humans can't be mates with wolf shifters or cause a pregnancy. Will he realize his mistake before he loses that which he holds most dear? Check it out to see.

I enjoyed the story
Written by Jill G on 28th Jul 2024

Beau makes a huge mistake, later begs forgiveness but can Eloise forgive him and that’s the big question? I enjoyed the story, especially Beau’s groveling which eventually works out. It’s a good read and I enjoyed it, especially the strength in the H/h characters. The storyline is well thought out and presented in an entertaining manner. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and are voluntarily leaving a review.

No Wolves Road
Written by MJWilson45 on 28th Jul 2024

This is book 1 in No Wolves Road series. Eloise lives in a town of Wolf shifters. She doesn't like the wolves due to them just using humans for sex. Beau is an Alpha of a wolf pack. The attraction between is there but both tried to fight it for their own reasons. I really liked Eloise she was kind and sweet. I enjoyed reading the interaction with Eloise and the other wolves in the pack. Beau made some accusations towards Eloise which she made him grovel. Good story

This was so good
Written by RhondaVB on 28th Jul 2024

A new shifter series by Sam Crescent and I loved it! Eloise lives in No Wolves Road and while it has humans, there are a lot of different packs of wolf shifters living around the town. Beau is the Alpha of one of those packs and he is one grumpy man. She doesn't want anything to do with wolves and he doesn't want anything to do with humans but we all know how that is gonna go. LOL At first, I was prepared to not like Eloise's sister and mom but I changed my mind the more I read the story. When Eloise becomes pregnant, Beau immediately thinks she has been fooling around with someone else because he doesn't think he that could happen since she's not his mate, right? WRONG!! Grovel time and I loved it. She kept him at arms length for a long time. Does he grovel enough for her to take him back? And does he finally realize that he is in fact in love with her? I loved this story and now I would love to see stories for Rose, her wolf shifter friend and her sister Dorothy!!

Alpha!
Written by Mary on 28th Jul 2024

This is a delightful and heartwarming romance about Beau and Eloise. It is the first in the “No Wolves Road” series that can be enjoyed as a stand alone read. Eloise, a human, is trying to locate her sister. She tired of her sister shacking up with wolves who use the humans. When there is a wolf who will not take “no” for an answer Beau steps in. He has seen Eloise around but until then he never really notices her. He doesn’t mix with humans or wolves for that matter, but she surprises him. A slow dance begins between them until he rushes in at full force and runs in shock. This is such a good story with a predictable surprise and a horrible reaction. I love the characters! Its all about family!!! I am not sure about the title other than he was nasty to her at one point in the story. I hope Rose gets a story too.

Enjoyed This Story But...
Written by Jilllovesbooks on 28th Jul 2024

I did enjoy this story however, I gave it 4 stars for the confusion. It was stated that wolves can not get humans pregnant or have them as a fated mate but Beau and Eloise did. Also, I was expecting "wolf" action and got none. That was disappointing. The storyline as a whole was good was expecting more from a Sam book I guess is all.

Great
Written by Sua on 28th Jul 2024

Beau and Eloise’s romance was so addicting as they kept quiet about their relationship around those who care for them. When Eloise finds out she is expecting, the drama between the couple gets very intense. Definitely loved seeing how this couple was going to overcome their differences.

At first I thought I wasn't going to like it but as I kept reading I got more into it. This turned out to be a great read. Never judge a book by its cover or title. Pick it up and try it.

He was so sure
Written by vickymeowmeow on 28th Jul 2024

Starts as a simple romance that both were not looking for. Both had strongly held beliefs mistakes were made feelings were hurt. Reconciliation was excellent and the sex was great very hot and well described. There's a nice hea and the epilogue is very sweet. This is a book I would reread. Love the characters and hopefully this is the start of a long series.

Just wow!
Written by Jes7s7 on 28th Jul 2024

I have been reading romance novels for about 37 years and this one put me in the mind of my earlier years when they were just so good! Goodness, I enjoyed Eloise and Beau. No billionaire, Ceo nonsense! No poor struggling MFC! Just two people who meet, feel the pull of chemistry and go with it. Beau held certain beliefs due to a lack of knowledge and based on that he almost lost Eloise. I loved loved all of the other characters including Wendy, Rose and Dorthy. This is not my first read by this author but it is surely one of the best. This book will stay on my homepage in my kindle and I HIGHLY recommend if you enjoy the no frills straight to the point romance novels of the 90's. Lastly the steaminess was a 12 out of ten!

relationship drama with plenty of steamy moments
Written by memes on 28th Jul 2024

Good story about two stubborn people instanly attracted to each other but determined to not become involved in a relationship with the other. It seemed a little slow to really get me into the story, but once they decide to give into temptation it's pretty steamy and intense, until he accuses her of cheating. I like this author in general, but for this story I would have liked a little more fast paced action, or edge of my seat moments, the story didn't have that. It did have plenty of relationship drama.

...a twist on mates
Written by Anya Z. on 28th Jul 2024

?ARC Review? Nasty Alpha, 1st in the No Wolves Road Series by Sam Crescent. It has a different approach on wolves living with/amongst humans and mates (definitely not a fated mates story nor talking of mating bonds or knotting). Beau is an older wolf rancher living close to No Wolves Road. We learn he is alpha of his pack of outcasts. We also learn that he is clueless about mates & possible baby making between wolves & humans. Eloise is a younger human woman living within No Wolves Road with her mother & sister. They own a laundry service/haberdashery/seamstress business in town. Eloise also starts to buy the weekly groceries & cook meals for Beau's pack. No Wolves Road is a sexual playground for the wolves. Humans are mostly okay with it. Everyone has sex, different hook-ups each night. A lot of town talk that wolves do not find a mate with the humans. Eloise is still a virgin at the start of the story, she wants more than a one-night fling. She is attracted to Beau, she gives in to her attraction. Beau is attracted to her & with prejudice assumes since she is human, she automatically is *easy*. He cruelly does not give her a pleasant first time, in fact he is angry she was a virgin. They start a secretive §ėx-fė§t for weeks. Eloise finds out she is pregnant. Beau 100% does not believe her that the baby is his and is a major a**hole to her. Beau does not do any type of groveling...!! Just saying *I'm sorry* doesn't cut it for what he said & did to Eloise. I definitely expected that Beau should have done groveling, actually he should have done some epic groveling! His pack & especially Rose treats Eloise a lot better than he did. (Rose should have been alpha, she is a lot smarter than Beau.) Will Eloise forgive him? Will they get an HEA? You will have to read to find out. I really hope Rose gets her own story. ??????????

Beau and Eloise
Written by Ander3sl on 28th Jul 2024

Beau Alpha has a grumpy streak a mile long…and is nicknamed “Nasty Alpha”. Eloise is a gentle woman who has no desire to interact with the area wolves until she runs into Beau. The two have crazy chemistry but they just can’t mix…but can they make a go of a relationship? This was a novella with some steam and would be a nice paranormal romance read for a night in!

This was a fantastic story. Full of angst and lots of groveling. The story sucked me in and couldn't put it down.

Foolish Alpha is more like it
Written by Bookbunny on 28th Jul 2024

Beau Alpha was called Nasty Alpha for a reason. He didn’t care for human’s and it seemed that he was always in a bad mood. Eloise is kind and sweet. She doesn’t hate the wolves in No Wolves Road. It’s just that they seem to like to play with the humans but have no care for anything serious. We learn a lot from these two. For one, Eloise does have a point. The wolves seem to use the humans. Her sister doesn’t mind but at some point that is going to get old. It seemed that Beau didn’t know very much about how the wolves were preserved. Granted the humans were no better about throwing themselves at the wolves. And please tell me why Beau was stupid about the whole mating. Really?! He didn’t have a clue. Shouldn’t he have known about it. I love Rose. She loved Eloise and she always stood by her side. A lot of groveling from Beau to make things right. I am wondering who will be next in this series. I love the story and understood Eloise. She had a right to be angry. And Beau deserved what she gave him.

Loved it!
Written by Laura S. on 28th Jul 2024

A smart, knows her own mind human woman knows without a doubt she will not be a booty call for any shifter, no matter how good they look or how well they flirt! Beau Alpha had no desire for booty calls with humans, he was too busy running his ranch and his own pack. Can this be 2 hard headed, stubborn characters that just maybe were made for each other? This story is a gritty, no holds barred, love story told in this author's unique way. It will keep you involved and enthralled to the end!

Nasty Alpha
Written by Michele77 on 28th Jul 2024

He is much older and a wolf shifter, she is an inexperienced human living in a town where the wolf shifters use humans for their pleasure and walk away. They are explosive together. This story is full of heat, emotional upheaval and a happily ever after. The story was slow to start for me but once it hooked me I couldn’t put it down.

Nasty Alpha
Written by Karen99 on 28th Jul 2024

He Needed To Fix His Mistake! Ooh, he was known to be mean and harsh but he couldn’t keep away from Eloise. All was going to plan they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, every moment they were together was spent in a steamy passionate embrace. He knew she wasn’t his mate and when she told him she was pregnant, he stupidly rejected her! Beau had to find a way to reach her and if he had to grovel he would, his pack had already accepted her and his unborn pup and he was willing to move heaven and earth to claim her and make her his forever.

5/5
Great story
Written by PHOENIX96 on 28th Jul 2024

Human Eloise lived in No Wolves Road a place many wolf packs visited, did and took what they wanted and left and she wanted no part of it or them. Beau is drawn to Eloise, and although she tries to keep her distance from the renound nasty Alpha but one kiss changes everything between them. When she tells him of her pregnancy, he accuses her of being with another. Will Beau realise his mistake before it goes beyond being to late to repair what they had? Well written steamy human/wolves, fated mates romance

Great start to a new series
Written by MrsKissmas on 14th Jul 2024

No Wolves Road - Book 1- Nasty Alpha - By Sam Crescent This is the first in a brand new series by the fantastically fabulous Sam Crescent and I loved it. Eloise Richards is part of her family business working with her mother Wendy and her sister Dorothy. They live and work in a small hidden town called No Wolves Road. Eloise knows that all around her town the various wolf packs come to their town to have fun with the locals but never stay and mate with the humans there. Eloise wants more than that she wants someone who wants her always and won't drop her when he is bored of her or someone else comes along, that is why she doesn't fall for every pick up line thrown her way. However, she was unprepared for the effect Beau Alpha would have on her. He owns his own ranch and works hard and is known to most as the nasty alpha, too bull headed to be in another's pack he keeps to himself and tends to have the half a dozen workers on his ranch who are all Wolves as his pack, he is content until he meets Eloise. They both have instant chemistry and because of her feelings for Beau, Elois forgets her rules and they embark on a secret affair but Beau makes huge mistake after mistake not able to see what is right in front of him and has to try to fix the mess he has made of both their lives if Eloise will let him. It's a well written story with great characters. I loved Wendy and Dorothy, they are females that will not put up with any rubbish. Also Rose was so sweet with Eloise and feisty with Beau I think her story is going to be super intriguing as there is more to her than we know. Overall I really enjoyed this super steamy shifter romance and look forward to reading more of them in future. I have high hopes for the direction and characters that this series could potentially bring us. Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given. 5 out of 5 stars.
