He exiled her in rage. She built a life in secret. Now fate—and a baby—force the alpha to face the truth he buried with his parents’ past.
Tyrant Alpha’s Secret Baby may be the sixth book in the Billionaire Shifter Club series, but it is written as a standalone.
Overview
Jill’s parents died when she was young, and she was put with a foster family. One day, some elders collect her for their alpha. They’ve got a prediction from a witch that Jill is to be the Alpha’s mate. She doesn’t take the news well.
Matthew has a lot on his plate: he’s the alpha, and he’s still searching for his parents’ murderer. When he finds evidence that his mate’s parents possibly murdered his parents, he rejects her in front of the pack and exiles her.
Jill stops in a small town and finds she won’t be alone; she’s pregnant.
Positives
I love how, when Jill discovers her pregnancy, she is driven to make a good life for her child. Her foster family wasn’t abusive, but they also weren’t loving. Her child will know love. So, she opens a bakery in a human city.
Matthew is compelled to develop empathy to uncover the whole truth. He has been resistant to it for a long time. Because that truth also means he’s a complete asshole who has made the worst decision in his hate.
Negatives
The world-building was only surface-level. I still don’t know the relationships between the packs. What do the pack territories look like, do they have little towns and where is the city Jill escapes in relation?
Recommendations
As a rejected mate trope, Tyrant Alpha’s Secret Baby is pretty good. World-building is so vital in paranormal romance because we can’t apply our own physics, society, structure, and biology. We rely on the author to tell us, so we don’t have to guess. It gets three stars.
