Unknowingly Adopting the Alpha (Groove Vale Pack Book 1)

Unknowingly Adopting the alpha by Regitse Liljadorff is the first book in her Groove Vale Pack series. It is the story of an Alpha wolf who stumbles upon his human mate and how he slowly acclimates him to knowing werewolves are real, being his mate, and life in the pack with some twists and turns along the way. Jeremy has just been named the Groove Pack Alpha by his father who wants to retire. He is happy with this and wants to be the best Alpha he can but he also knows his younger brother, Milo, really coveted the job and is sorely disappointed when he doesn’t get it. Jeremy has secretly loved his best friend, Darius, and goes to tell him that he wants him as his mate when he finds him kissing Milo so he runs away in wolf form and then gets hit by a car that is owned by Cassian Balone. Cassian has left the city where his father owns a large company that buys and sells big properties. But his father rejected and dismissed him and expected submission and loyalty that he couldn’t give him so when his grandfather left him his house in Groove Vale he jumped at the chance to leave the city and his job. He was horrified when he hit the wolf and took him to the vet, not knowing that he was Jeremy’s father, and didn’t like it when they laughed at him, since they knew who the wolf was all along. He decided to adopt him and took him home with him, calling him Red. When he got to the house it was a mess having been neglected for a long time and knew he had to spend some of the money he…

I read this ARC at the perfect time after being emotionally brutalized by a prior book lol This was such a sweet, low-angst wolf shifter romance with a delightfully chaotic start, because nothing says “fated mates” like accidentally hitting your future partner with a car. From there, it turns into a soft, cozy mix of small-town life, pack vibes, and instant “mine” energy between Jeremy and Cassian that somehow feels both fast and just so them. Cassian is pure sunshine human energy, somehow lovable to everyone without even trying. While Jeremy is very much in his “I will rearrange my entire life for you” era, extremely protective, extremely gone for Cass. Their relationship leans into fated mates, but still gives them room to figure each other out and actually build something sweet, which I really liked. The found family vibes and side characters make everything feel warm and weirdly comforting, and even the pack drama never really gets too heavy before it gets softened by fluff, food, or affection. Overall, it’s a quick, feel-good read full of cuddles, humour, and soft romance. If you like fluffy shifter stories with bi-awakening vibes, devoted mates, and a cozy small-town setting, this is an easy comfort read. Now I am in need of magical muffins, cuddles with Red, and a kidnapping movie night sleepover with friends lol

Unknowingly Adopting the Alpha - Regitse Liljadorff 🌟 5/5 🌟 * SPOILERS * If you are looking for something super cute but with a bit of a romcom feel, this book is for you. Also, if you have been wanting to take a chance with Regitse’s books, this is the perfect book that’s not super long that sucks you into this world. This definitely was interesting how these two. The fact that he hit him with his car and trying to get help only to think that these people were laughing at him but it was because his mate was the alpha of the pack. When a kidnapping that really doesn’t turn into a kidnapping from the rival pack that feed him and make sure he’s okay… that whole scene had me laughing. What took me out is when some of the pack come to rescue him and they whole scene had me trying to control my laughter because things like they just don’t happen. I’m so glad that Milo eventually came to terms with some of the things. I don’t want to give too much about him but I did like when he saved Caspian. My favorite part is the ending with Caspian and his dad because man, that man is truly a piece of work and so delusional. Trying to marry his son off - sir, what is your deal? I loved Jeremy so much because he was such a cinnamon roll and he loved his pack and his mate so much. The way they his pack welcomes his mate I to the pack was just so beautiful. I could go on and on about how much I loved this book but ugh, Regitse’s books are just perfect. The right amount of fluff,…

“Unknowingly Adopting the Alpha” is an adorable quick paranormal romance between a human oblivious that shapeshifters exist and a shapeshifter, who’s a total idiot! Seriously, Jeremy is sometimes so out of his element, not knowing what to do to make Cass happy, when all he has to do is be himself and love and cherish Cass! Cassian and Jeremy’s relationship is rocky at best! Cassian is really sweet and adorable! His POV really melt my heart because he’s really a good person who deserved everything good! Jeremy, while trying his best to take care of his mate, sometimes he’d be really stuck on the Darius thing and argh! You really just want to knock some sense into him! Darius is JUST A FRIEND, Jeremy! Cassian is your true love! He’s the one who deserves your full attention! “Unknowingly Adopting the Alpha” is sweet, cute, low angst and really nice! I read it during my flight to the Azores, and it was the best thing to read on such a short trip. It was enjoyable, and it made me happy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌶️🌶️ I really enjoyed this story; the idea was so adorable. I couldn’t put it down. Even though this was my first time reading a book by this author, I feel like I might have missed something, even though it was the first in the series. Looks like my TBR is about to get even longer! Jeremy is feeling on top of the world after discovering he is now the leader of his pack. He wants to share the big news with his best friend and also tell him that he's in love with him. But when he finds him, he realizes that Jeremy and his brother are hiding a secret. This makes Jeremy run away, and what follows is maybe the most unusual meet-cute ever—he gets hit by a human’s car! Don't worry, Cass is more than ready to take care of this wolf and keep him safe forever. Imagine a Disney Princess, but way cooler. There was some tension within the pack, but overall, the story moved at a nice pace for anyone looking for a quick, sweet, and swoony read. I got a free copy of this book, and these are my honest thoughts and opinions.
