The Arrangement By Alex Jane
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Historical, Shifters, Wolves
Released: August 30, 2019
Publisher: Self-Published
Series: Homestead Legacy, Book 1
Length: 56,000 words approx..
1895. New York.
Gabriel Webster’s pack is in trouble. His father’s failing health and his mother’s untimely death mean that the vultures are circling. It won’t be long before his family’s assets are stripped and his pack disbanded. When an offer of help arrives in the form of a marriage of convenience, he has little choice but to accept.
The arrangement would be the perfect solution, if not for one thing. Gabriel is to marry Nathaniel Hayward, the Alpha who was badly injured in the accident that killed his brother ten years before—and the man Gabriel has been in love with for as long as he can remember.
Trapped in a business arrangement masquerading as a marriage — in a strange, empty house with a damaged husband who barely tolerates him — isn’t what Gabriel expected from life.
But sometimes the last thing we want is the beginning of something more.
And an ending can be the start of something beautiful.

Alex Jane is a new-to-me author. I have a few of her books in my TBR pile but this is the first one I’ve read. It’s the first book in a new series called Homestead Legacy. It’s somewhat tied to her The Alphas’ Homestead series but I haven’t read any of those books and I didn’t feel lost while reading The Arrangement.
I really enjoyed reading this story; it’s a bit different from other werewolf stories I’ve read. In most books there’s a lot of shifting going on but not in this one. That didn’t bother me in any way. I’m only commenting on it because I found it somewhat unusual.
The story is a great marriage of convenience trope with an historical setting. The blurb explains everything better than I could. I found this story engaging and I was able to read it nearly straight through. There were one or two things that the book didn’t resolve that I would have liked to know more about. This definitely isn’t a cliffhanger story but I’m hoping the couple of things are discussed and/or resolved in future stories. I can’t be more specific without giving away spoilers.
There were several interesting secondary characters introduced in this story and I’m looking forward to reading more about them in future books.

Follow The Tour
After spending far too long creating stories in her head, Alex finally plucked up the courage to write them down and realized it was quite fun seeing them on the page after all.
Free from aspirations of literary greatness, Alex simply hopes to entertain by spinning a good yarn of love and life, wrapped up with a happy ending. Although, if her characters have to go through Hell to get there, she’s a-okay with that.
With only a dysfunctional taste in music and a one-eyed dog to otherwise fill her days, Alex writes and walks on the South Coast of England—even when her heart and spellcheck are in New York.
