Temptation of a Wolf

Dark Moon Pack #2

by Jennifer Snyder

His wolf knows she’s his mate, but she’s already in a relationship. Now he has two choices: Ignore what his wolf feels for her or make her see he’s Mr. Right. Which will he choose?

Prospect Lawson’s main focus is settling his wolf. Now that the Dark Moon Pack has spread their roots and grown steady, he and his wolf aren’t sure how to handle it. But then, a vibrant redhead enters his life who calls to his wolf in ways no one ever has.

Everly Jones is visiting Crescent Creek with her boyfriend for the weekend. It was supposed to be a working trip for them both with some quality time sprinkled in, but so far, it’s been all work and no play, and not because of her. However, when she meets a handsome stranger by chance, her weekend takes a turn.

When the two are attacked, Prospect knows he must protect Everly—even if it means unleashing his wolf and risking scaring her away forever. To him, some sacrifices are worth being made regardless of the outcome.

Temptation Of A Wolf is book two in the Dark Moon Pack series, which is part of the larger Paranormals of Crescent Creek World. If you enjoy reading about small towns with quirky characters and shifter romance stories with Fated Mates, you’ll love these books!

Everly has come to Crescent Creek to spend her birthday weekend with her boyfriend but all her boyfriend is doing is working. Frustrated beyond belief she meets Prospect while she is having car trouble. He so happens to be a mechanic and has her drop her car off. anytime Everly is around Prospect and his wolf go a little bit crazy, but she has a boyfriend already. She gets so frustrated with her boyfriend she ends it and then Prospect has his way in. She finds out Prospect is a wolf shifter when Shade starts trouble, but she is not afraid of him. Will Everly go back to her regular life after her birthday weekend?

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Title: Temptation Of A Wolf
Series: Dark Moon Pack #2 (standalone
Author: Jennifer Snyder
POV: 1st, dual
Cliffhanger: No
HEA: Yes
Trigger/Content warnings: It’s a shapeshifter novella so I guess some (wolf-on-wolf) fighting kinda comes with the territory. There isn’t any graphic violence tho.

Spice? On a swooningly delicious level.


Angst? Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.


REVIEW
I'm totally new to this genre, but I already know this book will lead me down a shapeshifter rabbit hole. It was that good.

Prospect is 100% my new book boyfriend. He was the perfect man. Kind, sexy, protective, affectionate, a biker... The chemistry between him and Everly was off the charts. And Jennifer Snyder's writing truly is nothing but excellent. I'll be coming back to her books, for sure. Starting with book one in this series. Speaking of...

I haven't read the first book in the series (I haven't read anything by this author, actually) and I still enjoyed this book plenty. However, I think I'd enjoyed it a teeny tiny bit more had I read book one first, so I do recommend you do that.

If you're looking for a shapeshifter novella with a bit of suspense, a hero who's book boyfriend material, and some delicious steam, then this is what you want to read.

Prospect and Everly's Story . . .

Everly Jones is in Crescent Creek to spend the weekend with her boyfriend David. The two of them seem to be drifting apart and he hardly pays attention to her, even ignoring her birthday. When she meets a handsome guy who helps her out with a car issue, his wolf recognizes her as his mate. But will she break up with her dud of a boyfriend to date someone new?

Prospect Lawson stops to help a woman who immediately affects him and his wolf. When he finally gets a chance to make a move after she breaks up with her boyfriend, he needs to defend her from the unpredictable Shade who has been causing trouble for the pack. Shade is determined to force Prospect to shift in front of Everly, trying to ruin what is starting between them. So the only effective way to keep her safe is for Prospect to shift to his wolf who will not let his mate be harmed. But when the fighting wolves drift toward Everly, she pounces on the one she knew had to be Slade and uses a self-defense move she was taught to knock him unconscious! Prospect was so amazed that he shifted back to his naked human self. Will Everly be afraid having confirmed now what Prospect is? Will she get away from him as quickly as she can? Or will she accept becoming his mate and finding a place to belong?

Part of the Dark Moon Pack each can be read as a standalone with a sexy shifter and the women who calls to the animal inside. Back in Crescent Creek and the Dark Moon pack Prospect sexy as all get out wolf shifter who has baggage from his past that he deals with daily and thinking no peace until he lays eyes on the red head shifts his path. Everly intelligent supposed to be on vacation with her boyfriend but tired of his job coming before everything including her so taking a walk in Crescent Creek to clear her mind and never imagining meeting a man interested in her without any distractions. The attraction is instant, it’s intense, and the chemistry is hotter than hot and he shows just how a man should have been treating making her breakup a lot easier but will she accept all of him, will she help heal him and can they find happiness?.

Everly was on vacation with her boyfriend, who told her that it was going to be live changing. What she did not realize that the change she was going to experience was their breakup. Prospect had seen Everly when she was frustrated with her car, just being near her he knew he wanted more.

This is the second book in the series and one of family, with a twist of danger from a previous pack and finding love that you never want to let go.

This is such a good series. Prospect and Everly made a great pair. Everly needed help and Prospect took care of fixing her car for her. When he realized she was his mate, he couldn't stay away. Everly was trying to figure out how to navigate a breakup, but these two were just meant to be. I really enjoyed this one.

I am loving this series! We are back in Crescent creek where Prospect and the Dark moon pack are settling down only Prospect’s wolf is troubling him especially when a certain redhead come to town. Everly is just in town for the weekend, visiting with her boyfriend when of course she gets into trouble and Prospect steps into help. It’s a great paranormal/shifter romance filled with some action, danger, drama and romance and I loved it!

[ajscenic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everly has come for a weekend away but, by a chance of fate she meets Prospect.
This is a story about being honest with yourself about what you want and need and taking a chance on happiness.
The characters are cute and link together well and that translates well on the page. This story is a good Sunday afternoon read.

[Philippa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed Prospect and Everly’s mating! Fast paced, heroic, darkness and romantic. With great characters and a great setting, I just wished it could be longer. Crescent Creek is definitely an interesting place and looking forward to seeing more stories.

After reading and enjoying first book in this series looked forward to book 2 and not disappointed.
Short, sweet romance as Dark Moon MC member Prospect meets his mate in quirky fun way. Lovely supernatural shifter mate romance with humour, fun, touch of danger and sexy wolf shifter finds way to woo his mate away from her boyfriend.
Enjoyable sexy romance story.

A really enjoyable story with 2 lovely and likeable lead characters.
I feel it could have been a bit longer, with a more in depth storyline with Shade and his minions; but it was still an excellent read

[Starla B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great entry in the Dark Moon wolves saga! I loved Prospect and Everly's story, and I can't wait to see who's next in line to find their mate!

[Blue · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was sooooo good!

I love reading more about crescent creek! This book was amazingly sweet with a hint of action. I loved reading about Prospect and Everlys story. It’s one of my favorites. It’s a shortbread but it’s still super good! I can’t wait to read the next story in this series.

[Shifter Haven · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reviewed at Shifter Haven

Temptation of a Wolf continues the Dark Moon Pack series with a fun, sexy romp with a touch of danger… we still have former not-so-good old pack members to deal with, unfortunately for Prospect and Everly.

Everly is in town for a getaway weekend with her boyfriend while he works on restoring some old books at a local bookshop. It’s her birthday weekend, and she’s expecting, well, the impossible from a man who is more often forgetting she even exists, let alone acting like a loving boyfriend. They’re drifting apart, and she’s not quite ready to give up what is becoming a losing battle to be more important than David’s precious old books in need of repair.

One misbehaving headlight will change her future, bring her into a world she has no idea exists, and finally bring that forever kind of love into her life… eventually.

I loved Prospect and Everly in Temptation of a Wolf. They’re likable, realistic for this genre, and so smoldering beneath the surface sexy. While Prospect works on winning over his mate, she’s become a target, and he’ll do everything in his power to protect her while convincing her that she could make a good life here, with him forever. We’ll run into some familiar faces and watch two people fall into a love that can last a lifetime while dealing with a threatening danger to them all. I had a blast back in this world – and that’s the whole point.

If you love a sexy, sizzling romance, if mates finding each other brings on a grin, and if a touch of danger just ups the nerves a bit, then Temptation of a Wolf is perfect for you.

Insta-Love At It’s Best

Everly Jones has come away for a short holiday break to Crescent Creek with her long time boyfriend which turns out to be a working holiday for him. Frustrated at being on her own all the time then meeting Prospect Lawson and being madly tempted to him was showing her that her relationship with her boyfriend was at an end.

As for Prospect he knew how to treat a lady and when his Wolf set eyes on her, they both knew she was his mate. Once she dumped her idiot boyfriend, he was there to claim her and claim her he did.
A lovely well written insta love novella which makes your heart sing! Second story of the series and just as good as the first! Well worth giving it a read!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own

[Sara Oxton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a tempting five-star read. I adored the new direction of the Dark Moon pack, and enjoyed this second story in the series, you could read it as stand-alone, but when you read redemption of a wolf first then this one just adds to a whole nother level. Prospect just makes your heart melt, there is just something about him, he has a guilt from the past that shakes him, but he is strong enough to keep going and that is what wows Everly I think, and make her realise how right he is for her rather than a man lost in books, as much as I love books, sometimes you have to put them aside for love.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prospect from book one of the Dark Moon Pack series comes to life in book two. Who knew this larger than life mechanic would turn out to be such a romantic. He swoops in and saves the day for the leading lady and shines light into her life. It's not hard to understand how a neglected woman could fall for his attentive charms. Surprisingly, the woman refuses to play victim during an attack encounter. This books shows a little into the lives of both packs, keeping up with the previous main characters in the series.

Prospect is trying to get his wolf to settle with all the new changes the pack faced. Everly had come with her boyfriend for a work/ birthday weekend, but so far it had just been him working. Prospect comes to Everly aid, and can tell she's means something to him but finds she already belongs to another. When trouble heads their way he has to risk showing his Wolf to Everly, will she want to stay after all is revealed? Well written fated mates, wolf shifter romance. A great addition to the series.

[Sara Sigler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prospect had helped with taking down his alpha who was causing lots of problems for Callum and the pack he was poisoning them. Everly went to Cresent Creek with her boyfriend but Al, he wanted to do is work on restoring books that he was commissioned for. Her one headlight quit on her so she was hitting it to come back on and Prospect stopped and helped her. Everly broke up with David and adjusted to Prospect being a wolf shifter, he told her that they were mates so she stayed. Good book!.

I liked how Everly didn't just settled with a man who barely noticed she was there and had the guts to go for what she thought was best for her. I liked that Prospect was kind and a gentleman. He gave Everly space to make her own choice plus he's protective. Fated mates stories are one of my favorites to read and throw in a little steam and a touch of danger and I'm lost in the story from the real world. I really enjoyed this book.

This is part of a shifter series but you can read it as a standalone.

Prospect is a wolf shifter and ready to settle down some roots with his pack. When he sees Everly he knows she's his mate, but she has a boyfriend.

There is no cheating in this story.

Prospect was determined to show Everly he was the guy for her, and I loved his methods. He was sweet and protective but also cheeky.

Everly was also a sweet character, human and easy to like. She didn't know about shifters before Prospect.

These two had an instant connection.

[Kitty Elder · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoy the Crescent Creek wolf books. This particular book is the story of Prospect finding his mate Everly. It’s a short read, but with lots of information and action. While it can be read as a standalone, some of the references will be more understandable if you read the Crescent Pack books first. An enjoyable book!.

Everly goes away with her nerdy boyfriend for the weekend. He is a book conservator and has a book to work on while there. Everly is continually being cancelled on and ignored. She meets a gorgeous man called Prospect when her headlight stops working and he fixes it. A man turns into a wolf. Prospect does too. To protect Everly. How will she take this? Sparks are sure flying between Everly and Prospect. Are they mates? What about the boyfriend?

[Danee · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely short story and it flowed smoothly. there is some drama and action and great main characters. Prospect and Everly were great and she's his fated mate , but she's already in a relationship. Will he be able to make it clear to her that they belong together or is it too late and he goes through life without moderation.
