Josie Bartley, a werewolf born to a prestigious pack, fears she’s flawed, destined to never connect with her wolf spirit after a dream that left her forever changed. When Ashton, the future Alpha of her pack, pursues her, she hesitates. She’s sworn off on all romance until she finds her mate—the one fated to be hers—and longs for more beyond the antiquated traditions of her pack. Caving to her sense of duty, and the pressure on all sides, she agrees with the relationship.
The moon goddess, however, holds a secret…
Lucian, the fiercest of his kind but ostracized for his Lycan heritage, is next in line to be Alpha King. Known as the Alpha of rogues and feared by the Council, his enemies spread rumors to prevent his ascension. As the final campaign for the throne begins, Lucian crosses with a long-awaited blessing—his mate. While Josie and Lucian try to shed the shackles of their past and forge their path forward together, Ashton’s out for blood, seeking to take back Josie and steal the Alpha King position. If they can’t stop him, their newfound future will be destroyed forever.
I read this in one sitting! I didn't want to put it down at all! Josie is a werewolf who can't bring forth her wolf. She's waiting for her so she can be sure she finds her fated mate. Little does she know that her wolf is a very special and rare wolf that alphas will covet and be willing to kill for. This is a well written story that I really enjoyed!!
The author has once again created something magical. I laughed, cried, and enjoyed all the twists this book offered . If you are a fan of The Goddess and Wearwolves, this book is a must-read.
The story drags on with endless filler that adds nothing of value to the book. That’s why I suspect it originally appeared on one of those pay-per-chapter apps, where stretching a story as much as possible is a profitable tactic.
I pushed through to 75%, yet I haven’t come across a single original idea. At this point, my guess about how the story will unfold is so strong that there’s no real curiosity left to keep me reading.
My TBR pile is already longer than I could ever hope to finish, so I won’t waste any more time on a book that, at best, can be described as mediocre—but, if I’m being honest, it falls below that mark. That last part, of course, is just my personal opinion.
WOW!! So I absolutely love finding hidden gems when I'm in a reading slump and I'm so happy I found this book! Josie and Lucians story has everything, love,pain,betrayal,friendship,loyalty and steamy scenes and a awesome world build by this author. Lucian is half lycan half wolf and he is the rightful Alpha King, Josies wolf is late coming out but no spoilers so u have to read. Their pack mates and family all have their own little stories in the book which I loved. This author really knows how to keep u wanting more and leaving u satisfied!!!
This was an interesting story line, and I really enjoyed it. The MMC is a Lycan, and he’s up for the Alpha King position. His rival is a nut case and ends up kidnapping both him and the MFC, who is the Lycan’s mate. The ending chapters are how this all gets resolved, and how the pair ends up together.
Above average read, and I liked it enough to give it 4 stars.
Loved every page of this book. It's exciting, intriguing , thrilling, you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat the whole time. So well written that I stayed up until just to finish . Enjoy my peeps.
Totally loved this story. I enjoy the stories that have it all…intrigue, drama, good story line, likable characters (both good and evil) and humor in just the right places.
A young woman who refuses to be held back from her beliefs. A prince who stands with her and whose beliefs mirror hers. Their adventurous path to happiness is full of heartache and happiness. This truly remarkable novel is very much worth reading. I usually like shorter stories, but this one has me wondering if I shouldn't dive into more novels like this one! A truly outstanding author.
I found this through recommended books and it was absolutely amazing! The story kept me wanting to read. Now I need a second book where the eastern packs meet the western or even the security firm getting some European clients and then it leading to finding her parents but with some twists.
After reading the first chapter, I'm just not that into this. Also, the next chapter is from the heroine's brother's POV and I'm not in the mood for story that's got multiple POVs outside the main couple.
If you can get past the first THIRD of the book, it becomes almost... tolerable. It is mostly tell, not show for emotions and relationships. I am a voracious reader who doesn't like to leave things undone, but I just could not continue on. The Ashton set up took way too long, and then there's still no emotional depth (in my opinion, obvi).
The first half of the book is more backstory and setting the stage. The MMC isn’t introduced until the second half of the book.
Since the MMC isn’t introduced until at least halfway through, their love story is extremely rushed. Instant love, instant mate bond, instant everything. It’s a little too much. Also, MMC is supposed to be this major Alpha badass but he acts extremely childish and irresponsible. Soo…that was annoying.
Still, this was a pretty good book.
- slow burn - med/high steam (once it happens) - multiple, first person POV - wolf shifters - virgin FMC - Fated mates - FMC is 14 at beginning of book, then 16, then 18+
This was a great book and I'm glad I read it and the author is great. The storyline is very detailed and keeps you reading. Please give it a try. Enjoy
