Single mom and omega Ada Langley has been trying—and failing—to forget the sexy alpha from the bar that she went home with six months ago. So when a trip to the tattoo shop means being surprised by none other than that same alpha, she’s understandably thrown for a loop. Afraid to risk her feelings on an alpha again after one left her heart shattered, Ada wants to keep that night a secret—and in the past.
After years of apprenticing in New York, alpha wolf Levi Madden has moved back to his hometown to open a tattoo shop. He’s done his best to let go of that night with the omega from the bar, but he can’t shake the lasting impression she left before disappearing the morning after. When Levi’s aunt recruits his artist alter ego to help save her gallery—the very same one where Ada works—fate gives him a chance to get to know Ada for real this time and, if he’s lucky, win her over.
Working together while trying to avoid the growing feelings that took root all those months ago proves difficult, but with every moment spent together, it becomes obvious that Levi is perfect for Ada in every way. Even as guarded as Ada is, it’s not long before they both start to wonder if their chance encounter has led them to their soul mate.
I loved Ava & Levi from start to finish. Especially Levi. We all need a freaking Levi in our lives. This man is down bad for his girl. He is so pure in his love for her. And will always go to bat for her without hesitation. I also gotta give our girl Ava credit. She’s a tough cookie. She could’ve just laid down and accepted defeat or better yet just let a mans handle it. But no she stood her ground and stood up for herself. I have so much respect for her as a character.
Now even though I love and adore this book and will be waiting patiently for my trophy copy to arrive. I do have a small itty bitty thing that I have to address because it brought the book down from a 5 star to a 4.5 star. I know she isn’t perfect and she was unsecure in the beginning, but I really hated how she made being a single mother feel like a burden to other people. That’s just me being nitpicky, but as a single mother myself, I always had the opposite approach, where if you did like my son, then I didn’t like you. I would never keep it a secret and be afraid to drop the bomb. But other than this LOVED the book!
