Whitney (Paranormal BBW Shape Shifter Romance) (Alpha Marked Book 3)

Heroes and Heroine are threatened by powerful wolves to keep their secrets hidden however the combination of these ménage has a lot more bite than the last two and they hold their own with a little bit of help from some friends.

This was short and terrible. Very short and very terrible. There was 0 character development, there was no "world building" at all, and while I thought it would at least have steamy sex scenes....it really didn't. I mean, they were graphic, sure, but really poorly written. That and the dialog made me want to pull my hair out.

This story got going then the book just ended.... there was so much more to tell. Sure the girls git their mates, but the third book started an underlying plot that gets cut off very abruptly. Writers block maybe??

The start was promising, but devolved quickly. Everything about the story seemed forced; the humor, the relationships, etc. Maybe if it were longer it could have been saved, but it was short and ridiculous

I was really looking forward to this book but what a let down. First off the conversations and immature comments from the sisters got real annoying. Most of the time I skipped their pov. The connection was rushed and quite frankly I didn't care if they were destined cuz Whitney was a real "c u next Tuesday" kinda lady throughout the book. The sex scene was off the chain but then it's ruined as soon as she opens her mouth. Overall if you're smart only read scarlet and save your money on the other 2. Trust me their a waste of money :(

Worst of the three books of the Alpha Marked series. Several chapter jumps were to entirely new situations and took several minutes to figure out what was happening. (Content or line editor should have demanded better transitions.)

The killer for the rating is I could not tell the difference between the two men of the MFM menage, to the point in the sex scene I decided I did not need to keep track of who was touching Whitney where. The men talked the same, nearly reacted to everything the same. With menage erotica, you must have enough of a difference between characters you should be able to tell the difference between them without dialogue tags - I couldn't even tell the difference with "Emmett did" and "Levy said".

And Scarlet, the "oldest" sister of the triplets and star of the first book, what happened? She has become a total power tripping beoych in less than 48 hours of becoming the primary female. She torments weaker wolves and make snide comments about wolf intelligence in public places - then declares she needs to go get f@cked by her males while her sister still needed help. Ugh!

By the time the big battle happened, I was skimming through the book and missed at least half of the cool stuff related to the plot and big reveal. In the end, I returned this book to the store.

Whitney Wickham has come to the Gathering with her two sisters - they are triplets after all. She's spent her whole life doing most everything with them. Everything that wasn't wolf related that is, because, well, she isn't marked. She was part of them, but not. They never made her feel that way, but her parents did. The rest of the wolf community did. Scarlet and Gabby (the first two books in the series), they were special. They were going to be mated to Alpha pairs. Whitney? She was *just* a human. She'd never get to have that. While her sisters lived despising their destinies, looking for loopholes, Whitney secretly longed for it. Just when she'd resigned herself to a life without it - a life as a normal human - she gets the same summons to the Gathering as her sisters. Fate is cruel and she's damned sure going to find out why, starting with the Wardens, the extra-sexy magical wolves whose mojo sent the invitations - the ones who are responsible for blowing up her Zen. One way or another she will get to the bottom of things because she's a Wickham, she's "goodness and light" - she's Whitney.

Whitney's book is a great conclusion to this trilogy, but more than that it gives readers what we've waited for - Whitney in all her "goodness and light" glory. In the first two books we ached for the girl who was part but apart. The triplet who was always just outside, even as her sisters tried to include her. In this one we get to see Whitney's inner self, all of her personality, thoughts, insecurities, and even her background like never before. The insight is truly heartbreaking and also empowering.

Then there are the Wardens. We've heard about them for the whole series. The mysterious Wardens. The ones who were supposed to show and do some 'splainin'. Well... they're finally here, but they don't seem to have any answers either. What good are the two most powerful magical men in the wolf world if they can't tell Whitney why the magic mojo wires got crossed and she got a summons when she's not marked? Yes, we do get to learn more about Emmett and Levy and about the sudden, inexplicable attraction that Whitney seemed to have to the aloof and cool-as-ice men at the end of Gabby's book. Icebergs or flames? You're going to have to read to find out.

True to form Celia Kyle brings the laughs along with the tension. The Wickham sisters' no-holds-barred straight talking dialogue will make you feel like you're part of a sisterhood. More than a few fist-pumping moments and laugh-out-loud parts catch you off guard while the main plot of why Whitney is summoned keeps you on edge and, of course, the sex will make you want a cold shower!

Working on my second read through now, Whitney's book will certainly make it to my "favorite re-reads when I'm down" shelf.

Great read if...you like PNR, short reads, sexy reads, MFM (as in no man on man touching), humor, insta love and an HEA.

Side Note: Not gonna lie. Wasn't a fan of Whit in the other books. She felt whiny and wet mop like, but when she's front in center in her own book she quickly stole her own place in my heart. She was snarky and sassy and sexy and most importantly VERY SPECIAL in her own right. My favorite scene involved her sneaking away and the very ANGRY alpha moment that followed, lol. This was a great last for these sisters and I am so excited to move onto book 4.

This is a shapeshifter Menage book, the third book in the Alpha Marked series, it can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading the first two books. A short read so I finished it in a couple hours, all three in a little over a day. This book completes the series and Celia Kyle does give you closure... but I need more, please Celia, more.. more! This book does have some very sexual scenes so readers be advised, not for the faint at heart. This time all about Whitney, the sweet one, and she seems to be the "baby" out of the triplets. She has always been treated differently because she doesn't carry the mark for the mating, even though it was something she always wanted. She is a fighter, and when pushed she carries some of the spark her other sisters have, if she can not handle the situation, her sisters sure can. I love the connection the sisters have. And I appreciate how she is willing to stand up for what she believes in.

This story continues where Gabrielle leaves off, they are still at the werewolves gathering. Only this time its is about 30 year old, Whitney Wickham, the only one of the triplets that does not carry the mark. But she is the only one of the three whom actually longed to be part of the mating ceremony. She had accepted long ago that it was something that would never be, only to be forced to the gathering. She just needs answers and the wardens are called in, but they can not understand as to why she was summoned. She is beyond mad, but at least they are easy on the eyes. drool.

Emmett Greene and Levy Walters are wardens, they are magical werewolves whom enforce and keep the law. They are the only werewolves whom may never mate, they will never be allowed to have a wife. Their law states a bond with a woman will disrupt their balance of power.

Once Emmett and Jeff see Whitney with her voluptuous curves, catch her tantalizing scent, well their inner wolves decide some rules are meant to be broken. The obstacle now is the elder wardens, whom will do anything to keep the truth from being revealed. The laws are based on lies, so Emmet and Jeff are changing the laws starting with Whitney Wickham.

some of my favorite passages:

"She had to recall she was sweetness and light and everything bright."
"Sniff! Mark Tingles! Mate!"
"There would be no "woo hoo, cue the rice tossing and tie a few cans to the bumper of their car" for Whitney Wickham. She wasn't bitter. Not much, anyway."
"It was like bits and pieces or her were Marked while the rest wasn't. The "want to" was there but the "screw you, it will never happen" was a little to strong."
"Look furball. I am the Ruling Alpha Mate's sister and--"
"Callum, she pulled the Kicka** (some might find the author's word choice offending.) Sister Card." Learn it, live it, love it, and call it yours because God and everyone takes it."
"Really? You're giving him workout advise? When was the last time you actually did anything other than walk to the elevator?"
"Great. Its about time they took off their a**-hats." (some might find the author's word choice offending.)
"In the human world, she'd be considered overweight. In theirs, she was perfect. Every inch of her made for him, for them."
"Oh, bite me."
"If you're about to say "honor", stuff it. Getting sniffed, patted on the a**, (some might find the author's word choice offending.) bitten, and then hauled to God know here without a say in the matter isn't an honor."
"As soon as she was done dying, she was so gonna open a can of whoop-a**(some might find the author's word choice offending.)on those wolves."
"Like a fluffy ninja, her sister wiggled and twisted her way from between her men, similar to what Whitney has done."
"Huh?"She wasn't opening her eyes. If she kept them shut she was invisible. Period."
"She really wanted to give him the middle finger and scream a great big "duh"."
"Wait now, let's slow your roll right there...."
"Hell, even her toes curled and they definitely hadn't ever happened before."
"We'll live life." her gaze turned to them, "share our love, and make plans to take conquer the world over ice cream."

The Wickham triplets all received a summons to attend a Gathering where werewolf alpha pairs found their mates. Two of the sisters were "marked", but Whitney was not. In the first two books, Whitney's sisters found their mates while Whitney was still trying to figure out why she was summoned. Whitney wanted Alpha mates, but it wasn't destined because she wasn't marked like her sisters. But wait and see what happens when she meets up with the Wardens-the alpha magic wielding pair....they are not allowed to fall in love and mate per their laws....finally Whitney has her story and it rocks!!!
I absolutely LOVE this series! The Wickham sisters crack me up with all of their hilariously witty, brassy comments. And their Alphas-Holy HOT HOT HOT!!!

So the first three books in the series follow the Wickham triplets' and their stories and adventures (including between the sheets fun) in finding their mates at the Marked Alpha Mates Gathering... warning: Hilarity and Erotica ensue. Celia Kyle is an amazing author. I can't wait to read the remaining 3 books in this series and am waiting with baited breath for the new book in the Dragons of Preor series. Thank you Celia Kyle! ?

I received this ARC free for my honest opinion. Loved it! What a great storyline and loved all the characters in this book. I must buy the rest of the series now . I need to see how Scarlet 's sisters make out with their mates. This story was so uniqueloved the concept and kept my attention, I didn't want it to end. Best shifter story! Grab your copy for plenty of laughs and sighs! Bravo Celia!

What did you like?
This story totally rocked. Was so happy to see Whitney get her mates. Was super losses at the elders and I approve of the beat down they got from her and her mates.

What did you not like?
Nothing I didn't like but, I hope this isn't the end as it sounds like there is a battle in the future that the sisters need to take care of.

Would you recommend this book?
Absolutely, while I loved her sisters, Whitney has always been my favorite. She got such a lot of crap that it's good to see her get what she deserves.

Wow, I didn't think this series would get better, but it did. Whitney has proven to be one bad chick. I knew she'd end up where she was meant to be, but I never realized how she'd get there. I love the Wickham sisters and their mates and hope we'll get more. Take the sarcastic humor combined with action and scorching sex scenes and you've got one heck of a book! This is best one by far and I'm dying to know what is gonna happen next.

I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

Kindle Unlimited standalone book in series where characters are relate and stories intertwine. She never had a mark, unlike her sisters. What did she receive a summons? They aren't allowed to have a mate, yet they ate drawn to her. Will they throw everything away to have her?

Hot hot hot!!! This is an amazing read! Whitney is a sexy modern woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. About time a woman is appreciated for how she is and not how society thinks she should be. Whitney is a great third book in the Alpha Marked trilogy. The moment I finished it I bought and read the first 2. Loved them all

I thought that this series was pretty well written, I liked the summons aspect of the Gathering. I found that one of the triplets being "non-marked" as rather intriguing. These sisters stay true to one another, it was heartwarming.

Whitney's story was different. I really liked the way it started but....it got weird. The first two stories characters were fuller and connected. Maybe it was intentional sonce this triplet was different from the other two from birth. When the new characters show up and even when returning characters show up, i just didn't feel a connection with them. Maybe it was because thete is not a lot of back story about Whitney, it just wasn't as good as the Scarlet story. I felt like the three sisters stories should have been just one story onstead of three. But that's just me. It was good to tead because you want that completion, but it did leave me thinking that another story is waiting to follow.
