Pride Before the Fall Kindle Edition

When Brady was given a free pass to sow his wild oats, as long as he’s back with the pride before fall, he never dreamed he’d meet his mate…or that his mate would be a man.

As the pride’s alpha heir, Brady knows the weight of responsibility. He’s expected to settle down, find a mate and have an heir of his own. But first he’s given the opportunity to travel and visit other prides, an unspoken opportunity to get his attraction to men out of his system before he comes home and does his duty.

Mason has his hands full fostering Jonah, an abandoned teen soon to have his first shift. He doesn’t have time to babysit a visiting alpha heir, but duty calls. As the second son of the alpha, he knows his place, and when he’s given a task, he does it.

Brady and Mason realize almost instantly that they are mates…and both also know that it can never come to pass. With the expectations they need to fulfill, this short time together will be the only chance they have to taste what could be. But they are tied together by more than just instinct—old crimes and hidden connections come to light and they are forced to make hard choices between duty and love.

About Devon Rhodes

Devon started reading and writing at an early age and never looked back. At 39 and holding, Devon finally figured out the best way to channel her midlife crisis was to morph from mild-mannered stay-at-home mom to erotic romance writer. She lives in Oregon with her family, who are (mostly) understanding of all the time she spends on her laptop, aka the black hole.

From top dog in business to out-of-control mom, I've been at home raising my girls for over a decade. And during that time, I've rediscovered--quite accidentally--the art of romance, specifically erotic romance. One day my muse whispered an idea in my ear, and I sat down at the laptop to try to do it justice. As they say, the rest is history!

I love to hear from readers! Email me at devonrhodes@hotmail.com.

I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads

3 Stars.

I'm a fan of Devon Rhodes' writing, and enjoyed the previous book in this series. But, sadly, this edition didn't work for me. I need to state, I'm a huge fan of well-written novellas, because I don't have a lot of time to take several days to read a long book, but I still want the entertainment of reading a whole story.

I won't go into detail on the premise of the story, or the characters themselves, as this is a novella and it would spoil the entertainment-value for the reader. I will state that this shouldn't be read as a standalone, as the previous book sets up the events that occur in this installment.

While I enjoyed the story and the characters Devon Rhodes had created, the issue was with the transition from one part of the story to the next. The first 25% had me hooked with its fast pacing, thorough characterization and story building. But then it transitioned so abruptly, way before was necessary, removing the tension and angst that were built so deliciously in the first quarter of the book. I was so annoyed at how quickly the characters 'connected', ruining the angst and tension, that I had to give myself a pep-talk to continue reading the novella. I was able to fall back into the story, and enjoy it for the most part. But I felt the transitions from one scene to the next, one time frame to the next, and a few timeline dependencies, made the reading experience choppy.

Overall, I am glad I read the story, as this series has brought back my love of shifter stories, and I am looking forward to reading more of the series and more by the author. I do recommend this installment, issues aside, as it is a worthy, important part of the series itself.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pride Before the Fall
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2017
Alpha heir Brady has been sent on a little visiting neighboring prides trip by his alpha/father. As alpha heir Brady has many duties to his pride. One of those duties is claiming a mate, producing his own heir, and securing the alpha placement for future generations through procreation. The problem with that is Brady likes other men. Creating a child from that union just isn’t going to happen.

Pride Before the Fall is the sequel to Pride and Joey. I do recommend reading Pride and Joey before Pride Before the Fall. Apparently there is some homophobic tension within the prides. I didn’t get that feeling from Pride Before the Fall other than the characters talking about their alphas disliking gays and as gay men this would cause them difficulties once they find their mates. The book I read never showed me that attitude from the Alphas.

The big tension point here was resolved with one of the main characters, the alpha main character not even present. This is a romance. I felt that Brady should have done the rescuing when that drama reared its ugly head. Instead he is not even there at the moment his mate Mason could have used him. It was also a rather anti climatic climax. It was just done and over with so quickly.

There are several tropes in romance that don’t ever work well for me. Inst-love and secret baby are two of them. This book has a sort of version of both. When paranormal romance and a shifter mating bond is used I try to go with the flow of the rules for that type of world. Who am I to question if a lion shifter can’t scent out his mate within a ten minute car ride. Mason and Brady never sharing “I love you” made the connection seem inconsequential. The secret baby that’s not a secret baby was overly convenient. It allowed for the impossible to become possible.
