AEI CLIENT APRIL CHRISTOFFERSON REVIEWED


Annie was just trying to survive. She was on her way from another doctor to find her house in shambles. She calls the police begging them to find her mother. Now with the chance of the one person she cares most about being dead, she must deal with someone who is out for her.

Will McCarroll is a back-county ranger for the entire Yellowstone Park area. He has his own issues for a judgment call that Annie made during another case. But when her mother goes missing sparks starts to fly. He now also has to deal with poachers going after Number Twenty-Two, the alpha female. Her mate has already been killed so now it's up to him to protect her.

Annie suspects the reason behind her mother's kidnapping is due to her job as the Honorable Annie Peacock. But she won't let it affect her work. For if she does she will go nuts thinking the worst possible scenarios. But now she has other things to worry about as well. Her attraction to Will, and the hunters attacking Number Twenty-Two. Will is trying his best to help Annie and isn’t too sure why he has become so fascinated with her. But now with all the new things happening at the park, and not all good, it will take a miracle, and one he will start to pray for.

ALPHA FEMALE was a truly inspirational book. It dealt with real life issues that we have to deal with on a regular basis. Each character had something special that brought magic to the book. I can't wait to read more.

I think I like Annie the best due to the fact she is having to deal with the consequences that come with the job of being a judge. Ms. Christofferson has managed to write a story of pure gold and at the same time be able to inform people of what really happens to our animals, our forests, and our eco-system. I couldn’t put ALPHA FEMALE down.
