One look will change their lives forever

Lingerie designer Alicia Clarkson just had to open her stupid mouth. After defending a fellow pack mate, Alicia's been blindfolded, tied up, and carted off to the scarred cowboy alpha of the Oregon pack--Gavin MacKellen. However, the blindfold doesn't come off as Gavin reveals he's searching for a mate and he wants to keep his face hidden. Just what happened to the mysterious alpha? He talks to her from shadowy corners and behind closed doors, but when they're near an explosive magnetism draws them together. Alicia and Gavin settle on an agreement--thirty days for them to get to know each other. But Gavin knows no good woman would ever want to look at his face after the incident he suffered. One look at Alicia sends all his plans out the window. The woman's beauty has stunned him speechless. Will she be the one to stand in the face of a monster and accept him for what he is?

The MacKellen Alphas series is a suspenseful erotic thriller that will keep you reading late into the night. With rich environments and captivating characters, The Loneliest Alpha will draw you in and never let you go. With nearly a million books downloaded, it's easy to see why T. A. Grey's romances are books to get lost in.

Buy The Loneliest Alpha to watch "a cowboy beast" get tamed by "beauty." ."

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooooo good!

This book was amazing! It jumped right into the action and I loved every word. I've been looking for a good romance book that I wouldn't give up on halfway through and I hit the jackpot with this one. It sucks you in immediately and the chemistry between Alicia and Gavin was perfect. The character development was so real, and usually I hate when they throw in the point of view from someone who isn't one of the two main characters, but Grey managed to add bits about another couple that also had me obsessed to find out more and that's where the second book picks up from. I can't wait to get started on the next book! By the way, the romance bits of this book were written extremely well, and not awkward at all. Not many authors are able to nail those parts, but Grey definitely did.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new spin on Alpha stories
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2017

I read a lot of books with alphas as the main characters but this was something new and different.

Gavin MacKellen is an alpha of a lykaen pack. Sorry but I don't know what a lykaen is and it wasn't explained. Apparently, it isn't a shifting species. But that's what made it different. Gavin is more human than anything and I found that refreshing. I didn't get the impression that he was drowning in money or that he was immortal. He was stronger than others but other than that, he didn't seem superhuman. He was a real man with real feelings, making him vulnerable to such things as being self-conscious about the scars on his face and women disliking him because of his appearance. He wants to have a mate and in an effort to obtain one, he has other alphas from across the country ship him some women.

Alicia is shipped in from Arizona and, unlike the other women, she was an unplanned detainment and was housed in a spare room in Gavin's house. She was locked in a room and spoke to him through the door. She was allowed out of the room a few days after she arrived but didn't really see Gavin until well into the story. He stayed hidden in the shadows so she couldn't get a look at his face but she could tell that he was kind and lonely. He remained an enigma.

I wish it would have been revealed just how these other women treated Gavin, or their reaction when they first saw him. Obviously, he grossed them out and they didn't want anything to do with him but it would have added some "Umph!" to the story had it been shown.

Don't get me wrong; the story packs a punch but I think that element would have made it even more heart-wrenching. I felt bad for Gavin more than once. He didn't feel like he was worthy or lovable. I get it.

Now, throw in the murders of two kids and the disappearance of Alicia, obviously by force, you've got a heck of a story.

I gave this book four stars because it really needs another round of editing. There was some wrong word usage, omitted words, and simple things like not adding an "s" to a plural form of a word. I'm sorry that it's nit-picky but I had to go back and read sentences over again to make sure I understood them correctly. This book is a long at over 400 pages and when I have to take time to go back and read sentences again, it gets irritating.

On the plus side, the story was engaging, the characters were believable and easy to care about, there was some spice and steam that wasn't over done, and the plot was steady.

One more trip to a decent editor and this book will be an easy five stars. I'm actually interested enough to read the second book in the series.

I've read a few Beauty and the Beast type romances, but can't remember reading one that was a paranormal.

I had to admire Alicia's tenacity as she dogged Gavin for a chance to see his face, and I applauded Gavin for holding out as long as he did. The revealing moment was timed just right as both were as ready as possible for it to happen. And even when it did, the severity of his scars wasn't romanticized at all. The harm done to Gavin was harsh, and Ms. Grey did a fantastic job of describing the from Alicia's POV.

Though Gavin's choosing a mate and her unconditional acceptance of him was the main focus of this story, the side story was amazing to follow as well. Betrayal, shocking revelations, and desperation paved the way for a well-earned happily-ever-after for Gavin and Alicia. The adversity they faced and the obstacles they overcame reinforced the love that had taken grown between them.

Suspense and romance are always a great combination, especially when both are equally present in the story. Adding a healthy dose of paranormal to that kind of story created a world I was only too happy to be a part of. After all, who doesn't love a good Beauty and the Beast story? I know I do.

loved this one and want to buy the 2nd part asap. the characters were awesome. fell in love with gavin on his first page. lots of communicational misunderstandings, but they made the book longer and therefore the time to enjoy it. the side story about hannah is a tease and you want to claim the next installment right away. the same goes for the minor characters all bundled up to get their own stories. but this one is from 2013, the 2nd one from 2015... please, miss grey, where are the follow ups???

Loved the story of Gavin and Alicia. All families are imperfect, not everybody is battered as we see love through our hearts, and forgiveness for each other. Pride, jealousy and independence must fall before we can reach out to others. The erotic lovemaking is off the charts between true mates.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm so glad I finally purchased this book!

T.A Grey delivers a Beauty and the Beast retelling with The Loneliest Alpha, where we see lingerie designer Alicia Clarkson being taken to the new Oregon pack's new alpha Gavin MacKellen. It is there that she finds out Gavin is looking for a mate but can not go about dating the normal way because his face is badly damaged. Alicia's first plan is to escape but for some reason she's drawn to Gavin, but how can she when she's never seen what he looks like?

T.A Grey is a new author to me, so once I started The Loneliest Alpha, I found out that The MacKellen Alphas series is actually a spin off to the The Kategan Alphas. I was kind of bummed about that because I like to read a series in order, but it was too late, I was already hooked.

The Loneliest Alpha has been on high on my wishlist for a while, so I decided to take the chance and finally purchase it to read over the Christmas break from work...and I'm so glad I did. From the first chapter I was immediately draw into the plot of the story. Beauty and the Beast has always been my favourite fairytale story, so I was eager to see what T.A Grey would do with. If anything she didn't play too much into the story, it was just a small portion of the plot that was used but it worked well. Not only that but the story was exciting, full of suspense and very intense. Gavin's situation is on that tugged on your heart and wanted him to find the mate he had always craved but never had the nerve to go find her. He's definitely a great Alpha male - even with all his insecurities, but who could blame the guy. And Alicia's situation wasn't as serious as Gavin's but after meeting Gavin, I think she realised that she'd found something she'd never really been looking for. It isn't until it's in her face does she realise how lucky she is to find someone like Gavin. I really liked Alicia. I thought she had everything an Alpha female needs to help run a pack. She's strong, determined and very dedicated in everything she does, and very passionate. Some of the moments between both characters are very entertaining and at times, frustrating - but in a good way. ;) The only thing I wished for was more about the Lykaens' shifting. There wasn't much in this story but maybe if I read The Kategan Alphas series, I'll understand it better.

In all, reading The Loneliest Alpha was a great start to my 2014 reading challenge because T.A Grey delivers a great read.
