My 5-Star review in entirety posted at Amazon for 'Bitter Beauty' by Aliya DalRae:

Butch Montgomery, second in command to the Fallen Cross Wolf pack’s alpha, stumbles across a girl-wolf trespassing on the Pack’s hunting land, devouring her fresh deer kill Although emaciated, she-wolf Marcela, defends herself admirably by sinking her teeth into Butch’s nose.

Under the Alpha’s strict orders, Marcela becomes Butch’s responsibility for convincing her to “change” into human form and getting her story. Until he does, they’re moonstuck!

What evolves is a heartwarming tale laced with trauma and humor about two unlikely werewolves living under one roof in Butch’s cabin—a solitary man’s immaculate sanctuary decorated with pride and joy. Including the lamp he had specially made, using antlers from the first buck he’d taken down.

Hold onto that picture.

‘Bitter Beauty,’ (Fallen Cross Pack Series – Book 5) is a paranormal romance novella at its finest through the author’s storytelling prowess: an awkward romance gets off on the wrong foot/hoof; misunderstandings; abuse and vengeance.

Highly recommended!

Oh, but the irony of the iron skillet!
