Autumn's Rescue (Alpha Barbarians Book 4) by Leann Ryans

4 Stars

The writing and editing of the ARC version of the manuscript was pretty clean, with only occasional typos that I found. The world building was pretty good, with the society and landscape being well described. The characterization was good, and the author's use of multiple Points of View before the heroine had really made her choice of Alpha was a clever one. The development of the romantic relationship was sweet and had a whiff of the Fated Mates trope about it. The heroine's reactions to the different Alphas' scents was another well done aspect of the world building and characterization, in my opinion. The plot and pacing was tight and exciting, with some political maneuvering and suspense elements that maintained my interest throughout the story. There was low angst and high stakes in this novel, which I typically enjoy in my romance novels. This novel used the Partner in Trouble trope, the Mating Bond trope, the Sickbed trope, and a setup reminiscent of The Bachalorette TV show. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were also four stars. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of four stars. This novel had a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that was a big plus. I recommend this book to readers of m/f omegaverse who enjoy fantasy or historical elements to their stories. I look forward to reading the next book in this series if the author writes more. I will be buying myself a keeper copy of this romance.
