Seventeen-year-old Scarlett Hayes is living her life by her own rules.  Losing her parents at a young age has made her strong and fiercely independent.  She knows exactly who she is and nothing is going to change that. 

Everything starts to change for her when she moves to a new town.  She meets Cade Presley.   He is domineering and arrogant which makes her detest him at first sight.

She learns a secret that will unravel her perfect life and lead her into a world she never knew existed.

 Excerpt

Something inside of me that I’d nurtured for years refused to allow me to lie on the ground and tremble in fear. No matter what life threw at me, I wasn’t one to cower from a challenge. 

I pushed myself up onto my knees and then I stood up. The smell of fresh rain surrounded me as I struggled to hear any sounds. Slowly I turned to see the wolf watching me with its amber eyes. 

Meet Regan Ure

Regan discovered the joy of writing at the tender age of twelve. Her first two novels were teen fiction romance. She then got sidetracked into the world of computer programming and travelled extensively visiting twenty-seven countries.

A few years ago after her son’s birth she stayed home and took another trip into the world of writing. After writing nine stories on Wattpad, winning an award and becoming a featured writer the next step was to publish her stories.

Born in South Africa she lives in Johannesburg with her two children and husband, who is currently doing his masters.

If she isn’t writing her next novel you will find her reading soppy romance novels, shopping like an adrenaline junkie or watching too much television.

 Excerpt

“Listen here, buddy, I don’t know you or what I’m supposed to know but I can guarantee you that I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I said to him angrily as I continued to poke my finger into his chest. “Understand this: if you don’t back off, I’ll make you sorry you tried to mess with me. Keep to the vacant bimbos and leave me alone.”

His eyebrows shot up in surprise and then his eyes pierced mine. Then, unexpectedly, he cocked his head to the side and studied me for a moment before the one side of his mouth tilted upward in a half smirk.

Alpha by Regan Ure Review

Alpha by Regan Ure
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scarlett Hayes moves to a new town where she is enrolled in her senior year of high school. She meets Cade Presley an irritating male who rubs her wrong. Too bad she is so attracted to him and destined to be with him.

I loved Regan Ure’s Alpha; I was hooked from the first page.
Scarlett is a worthy heroine. After her parents, death she becomes extremely independent. I love how strong she is, and that she won’t back down. She learns so much about herself and her past throughout this story and grows tremendously.

Cade is about as alpha as you can get. He is a great character that is the perfect match for Scarlett. They are both so stubborn it adds interest to their relationship. I love how they challenge each other, and develop through the story.

The plot was well written. It had numerous unexpected twists and was interesting start to finish. Alpha had me captivated and caused a reading hangover from my lack of sleep because I could not put this book down.

This is the first book I read by Regan Ure. I was impressed by her work and would definitely read more stories by her. Her descriptions and creativity are noteworthy. I would love to hear Blake and Keri’s story and hoping this is going to turn into a series.
