Alpha Crusher by Shani Greene-Dowdell
2.75
fast-paced

Alpha Crusher feels like it is written by a white person.  Black woman washing hair in shower then immediately going to bed is a good example.  Ward out the gate seems to have ADD with business,  is impulsive and sexist, appears to have a black woman fetish, and says something racist upon meeting her. All that said, Mira ate it up like a sandwich.  Make it make sense. And what's up with fawning all over Joe?  Good plot though.  Good showing of strong dominant characters, I think Mira and Ward both have unhealthy tendencies. I did like the villain, although it is easily deciphered. Overall this book was fast paced, cheesy, lacking in execution, and very much white washed.  Sexy time was nice. The first sex scene was so odd though. And I didn't feel the chemistry at all.
