Blog Tour Review: Alpha Shaman by Erin M. Leaf

“Alpha Shaman” is the sequel to “Rock Star Baby”, and I’ve been waiting for it since I closed my Kindle on RSB. It was worth it. Both books are about a pack of wolf shifters and their connection to a rock band. First of all, doesn’t that sound AWESOME? How much fun is that?

Wolves and rockers. WHOOOO!! \m/ \m/ (That’s rock fingers, for those who aren’t in the know, hehe!) The boys in the band are all family, and they have the blood of wolves in them. None of them know that they’re shifters until it’s nearly too late. Fortunately, in the first story, lead singer Ryan, meets his true mate Bardulf, and they are put on the path of awareness. Ryan and Bardulf are settled now, and Josh is now the singer. Josh is also starting to change. He has terrible dreams and wakes up on the floor covered in sweat and strange course hair. Ryan realizes what’s happening to his brother and sends someone to help Josh along. That someone is Gerwulf, and that’s when the fun starts.

This is an MM story. Josh is bisexual, but Gerwulf is straight…or so he thinks. Well, true mates are true mates no matter your sexual orientation.  As much as Gerwulf wants to fight it, he’s got a losing battle on his hands. It turns out that they need each other more than they think, not only to protect themselves, but the whole pack. There’s a lot of action and intrigue that’s happening behind the scenes. There’s also a terrible evil lurking, and that evil wants to destroy Josh, Gerwfulf, and their families. There’s a nice little event toward the end that makes the battle worthwhile, too.

I don’t want to give anything else away. This is a great story, and it’s really fun to read. There is a nice conflict between our men, and I enjoyed watching them overcome it, especially Gerwulf realizing that Josh is the man for him…when he wasn’t ever into men. The sex scenes are INSANELY hot, just like all sex scenes written by Erin Leaf. She really knows what she’s doing there, folks. Trust me. However, there is tenderness and love under all that heat, and that makes me heart beat a little faster.

I highly recommend that you read this story if MM and shifters are your thing. Hell…even if they’re not, it’s still a great book. As I mentioned, it’s the sequel to “Rock Star Baby”, and you really should read that one first. If you go into “Alpah Shaman” cold, you might be a little confused.  They’re both awesome, so you’ll be doing yourself a solid.
