The Alpha’s Daughter
Wolver #3
by Jacqueline Rhoades
Release Date: July 1, 2013
The Alpha’s Daughter is book three of the “Wolver” series. All the books in this series are written as stand- alone, but I always love having the background and history inherent in reading a series start to finish. So if you haven’t read this series, you may want to pick them up.
This story begins with Jasmine “Jazz” Phillips traveling a lonely road in the Arkansas Mountains at night on her motorcycle, remembering the turn of events that led her here.
Jazz is the only child of Alpha wolver Bronson Phillips, a hard, power hungry, brutal man. He runs his pack in a way that promotes the more animalistic traits. Their businesses are mostly criminal and drug related, good money – but bad.
Jazz recently had a visit by the mysterious Mr. Begley, who informed her that her father was going to demand she mate the next powerful alpha he found to take over his pack. He then outlined a route for her to take to a pack where she could seek sanctuary in the Appalachian Mountains. She thought this would just not happen and almost threw the napkin with the route away – but didn’t. When a week later her father demanded that she mate for the good of his pack, she tried to protest, but was quickly beaten into submission for her efforts. Pretty much a prisoner in her own home, Jazz decided it would be better to escape than live a life she’d watched her mother live, abused and used as a tool for her mate.
This is a lot of background, but I’ve put it here all at once so you can get the feel for the life Jazz has come from…the book is well written with the background coming in interspersed with other events to keep the story informative, but incredibly entertaining.
The story comes to life when as Jazz stops for a rest in the town of Gilead, where she’s to meet a wolver by the name of Goodman who will assist her on her way; she’s attacked by three rogues at the bar/café where she stops. Trained to fight since a child, by “Uncle Moose”, she’s doing pretty well when a huge, hairy giant of wolver comes to her rescue.
Michael “Doc” Goodman is a doctor, an actual MD specializing in wolver medicine as well as human, who has left his old life behind to find some peace in helping the poor but wonderful pack in Gilead. The sparks and lightning that begins to fly when these two meet is wonderful to say the least. The great dialog that Ms. Rhoades puts into this tale is enthralling and exciting. I love great arguments and fun dialog and this book is simply filled with great conversations as well as some truly steamy love scenes!
Watching Jazz and Grizz (Jazz’s nickname for him) dance around each other and the situations that arise is not only entertaining, it’s compelling. This is a page-turner. So hard to put down, I just had to see what was going to happen. I fell in love with the pack in Gilead, wonderful people so well written you feel you have known them forever and they actually become your friends. Of the three books, so far, in this series; Alpha’s Daughter is definitely my favorite. I loved all of them, but this one is so rich in emotion, humor and life it’s in my top three books ever! And that’s a pretty big statement for me. I’m not going to do anymore spoilers, you just have to read and feel this wonderful story for yourself! Do yourself a favor, allow enough time for a great read and curl up with this one! Enjoy, I did!

Wonderful review, Georgianna. Sounds like a great series. This book really sounds good.
This is a wonderful series and this is probably my favorite book among them. It has so much emotion and quite a bit of steamy love scenes… handles abused women issues with sensitivity and hope and much more!
Terrific review, Georgianna. So many great books have been coming non stop. Now I totally understand why everyone here talks about a list of books that will take forever to catch up.
yep, that’s the problem with so many great books…what a wonderful problem to have – LOL!
Awesome review Georgie!!! Would love to read these!!!
Vickie, they are each written to be stand alone, but I love having all the background each one leaves…each is a really good read on it’s own and each has a different style hero and heroine!
Great review Georgianna I have been following his series and the Jackqueline’s other series too. Of the two this one is my favorite but I rally love her writing style.
I love the humor and real people she creates! And none of the series books is a repeat of the same old stuff…
I loved your review, Georgianna! There are so many great shifter novels!
Yes, I really like the shifters, there’s so much possibility and excitement! This series is still, at least to me, unique among the different shifter types.
Great review Georgianna, picked this up earlier, hope to read the series soon.
Oh, Mary Ann, I think you’ll really enjoy them…a lot of good fun stuff in each. All the female leads are so different from each other and all are intriguing. I think you’ll like this series, I think it’s refreshing!
Wonderful review Georgianna. Another interesting shifter series.
Do you like the shifters? This has a lot of different types of people, different styles of alpha’s and their mates. It’s a far cry from boring!
Great review Georgie. Love this series but you know I am partial to The Guardians of the Race…lol
I do love the Guardians…wait til you get al look at Lucien…that one is going to be a great read. I think you’ll like this series as well, especially this book!
