Pack Initiation
[Siren Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranomal Romance, M/M, werewolves, HEA]
Darren Lane, a newly turned werewolf, finds love and friendship in experienced were Paul Christenson, and is soon invited into Paul’s wolf pack, led by alpha Ethan. Problems soon surface, though, when Paul’s old pack leader, Gabriel, attempts to blackmail Paul into committing a brutal crime. Just what is it that Gabriel holds over Paul’s head?
Paul is left with a dilemma. He refuses to do what Gabriel asks of him, but if he doesn’t Gabriel will reveal to Ethan the reason why Paul was forced out of his pack. He could tell Ethan himself and minimize the fallout, but he knows his new pack leader. If Ethan found out about Gabriel’s threats, it could lead to a pack war.
With tensions increasing between the two wolf packs, will Darren and Paul come through with their relationship, and their lives, intact?

Reviewed by Stacey Jo: Darren Lane was turned by a werewolf while on a trip but left on his own to figure it out by himself. On a night out at the local bar, The Wolf Pack, he meets, Paul Christenson, a member of Ethan’s pack. Sparks fly right away, but Darren is shaken because he doesn’t understand what the connection is. He can’t resist Paul and soon they are on a date that moves quickly into a friendship where Darren finds the love he’s been looking for. Things go bad in a hurry when Gabriel, Paul’s old pack leader, summons Paul and tries to blackmail him into committing a terrible crime. Should Paul tell Ethan and risk being kicked out of the pack or do what Gabriel wants and risk being kicked out of the pack for following Gabriel’s orders? It’s a real dilemma. Gabriel has ways of ensuring his cooperation though and Paul needs Ethan’s help after all. Gabriel’s ultimate goal is to create a pack war, which looks to be where book three will be leading us.
I liked this second book better than the first. There were a couple of subplots going on that were all interesting and served to keep the story lines moving along at a nice clip. It was an engaging story. I really liked Paul and Darren and they were pretty hot together. I wondered though where Conor was in this book. He was such an important part of Ethan’s life in the first book and you see Ethan in this book and they are in the bar a number of times. Ethan works in the bar now but there is never any mention of Ethan in this story. I expect that in sequels. I’m looking forward to the next book now that we are all set up for the pack war. A really nice series so far.

Darren Lane, who has recently been turned into a werewolf, is befriended by Paul Christenson. Paul also introduces Darren to Ethan, his pack leader. When Paul’s old pack leader, Gabriel, tried to make Paul commit a crime, Darren will have to find out what Gabriel has over Paul in order to force him into doing what he wants.
Paul is protecting his new pack Alpha and is trying to avoid a war. Will Darren be able to help Paul get free of Gabriel before it’s too late? What will happen to all of their lives if Paul can no longer keep the peace?
Pack Initiation, the second book in the City Wolves series by J.C. Holly, is a really fun read. I love werewolves; give me them and hot man love and I am a very happy reader. While this story was slightly predictable in places, it did not detract from my reading pleasure.
Darren is a story on his own, but he’s a soft character. I liked those two things about him; he was really interesting to get to know and I enjoyed peeling back the layers to his personality. Ethan and Paul are really diverse characters too; they are both very Alpha in temperament and have huge protective streaks.
This is the first book I’ve read in the City Wolves series and I wish I had read the first one when it came out. I really want to know more about these characters. I would suggest reading them in order so you don’t get too lost as to who is who. This is a fun, fast read with hot man love and lots of Alpha werewolves (my favorite kind). If you like hot man love and hot shapeshifters, this is the book for you!
