A lion’s pride isn’t defined only by those he commands but also resides with his hair, so when a human dares to butcher Arik’s mane, he gets his revenge—and claims her as his mate.
A billionaire CEO and leader of the largest East Coast pride, Arik is a ladies man and a lion. Used to commanding others, and obedience, he can’t believe it when a hairdresser with tempting curves chops off a hunk of his precious mane.But her biggest mistake is in running from him.
Run as fast as you can, little mouse, because this cat loves to chase—and pounce.
Oh, and he also likes to nibble on tender bits. What he doesn’t expect is to fall for a human woman, a woman who can make the impossible happen because everyone knows lions can’t purr…until now.

When an Alpha Purrs is another light-hearted, fun read from Eve Langlais. This one features a billionaire king of the concrete jungle who is very much used to getting his own way. That is until he goes to get his hair cut and his normal barber isn’t available. He is forced to use his barber’s granddaughter. He starts by insulting her by not wanting a woman to cut his glorious mane. Then he continues to push until she takes retribution by cutting a huge hunk out of his perfect locks.
The story starts off with a lot of banter between our hero and heroine. Arik finally decides that he likes Kira and works really hard to get her out on a date with him. They banter more and add lots of flirting. I did get a little worried that this was going to be a contemporary story just with a shifter, as there was no suspense at this point in the story. I shouldn’t have been. Eve came through as always.
Kira ran from a past. An ex-boyfriend to be exact. He has quite the stalker issues. He follows her to her new location. Arik immediately catches on and takes things into his own hands. The fun really starts when he takes Kira to his condo for her protection and she has to meet the Pride.
When an Alpha Purrs is an quick read. I read it in one sitting. It was just what I needed after a tough week at work. Something that was uncomplicated and to make me laugh. There was just the right amount of sexiness to keep things interesting. While I can’t wait to read book two in the series, where the hero is the Pride’s beta, Hayder, it is book three about the Pride’s omega, Leo, that has me chomping at the bit.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
A lion coming up from his crotch, that is nice

Great review. I like to pick up the quick ones that don’t require thinking just enjoying especially after a hard read or a bad day. This sounds like something I’d like.

There is a place for deep book and there is a place for quick, fun reads. Lately, I have been more in the mood for the quick reads. I just haven’t had as much time as I like to take for the more complex reads, though I still fit them in here and there.

This sounds like a fun read. I finally got book 1 in the last series-didn’t know she had started another series. Is the other one done? Enjoyed your thoughts!

I have had my eye on this book, but sometimes her stuff is hit or miss. Looks like this one is a hit. I will have to go ahead and add it into the rotation.

I haven’t found anything I don’t like, but then there is a lot I haven’t read yet. I haven’t finished the Freakin’ Shifters books yet. They’re funny and I enjoy them, but don’t have the stronger plots that many of the others have. I still need to try the aliens and cyborgs.

I enjoy the humor in Eve’s books so I’ll have to add these to my list, haven’t read any lion shifters so this will be a new one for me! Sometimes a quick and fun read is all you need to change your mood or just get away 🙂

I love lion shifters and I think Eve does a great job with them. They do have a large fascination with their hair. LOL

I love well done banter
Eve does a great job with banter. Kresley Cole is another one that I love with her banter.

Melanie, you’re always reminding me why I love Langlais and making me wonder why I don’t read her more often! 😉 I’m glad you had fun with this one. I’ll try to fit a little Langlais in soon. 😛

You know, I read her stuff years ago and then for some reason she fell off my radar. Now I have a lot of catching up to do. I really want to go back and do a re-read of Lucifer’s Daughter. That was the series that I started with her and I loved it.

Oh gosh this sounds hilarious the way it originates getting a new hairdresser lol! I’m not the biggest fan of shifter reads but this one sounds like fun with lots of flirty banter. Lovely review Melanie!

Thanks Jeann. I will admit, shifters are my weakness. I read a lot of them. I thought that the hairdresser scenario was was perfect for a lion series because they are nuts about their hair.

Ooh this sounds on par with the Mane Event novellas I listened to. I’ll have to keep my eye out for this. Great review!
Thanks, Anya. I love The Mane Event. I think you should check this one out. It releases today. I hope you enjoy.
