Wild

Russian Wolf Pack #2

by Zoe Perdita

When Wild, a lone omega, stumbles into a trap in the woods, a mysterious alpha saves the little wolf and takes him in. The man cares for Wild’s wounds and offers him a new chance at life. But the sexy wolf stirs feelings the omega has never experienced – making Wild believe this man is his mate. He just has to prove it to the alpha first.

Caleb, a great white wolf, lives alone, and he prefers it that way. He doesn’t need a young, lively whelp keeping him company, no matter how attractive the young man is. Especially when Wild wakes the need for a mate inside him – a need he buried a long time ago.

With a rival wolf pack hungry for Wild’s blood, and a dangerous hunter on the loose – can Caleb protect the little omega without giving into his animal instincts and claiming the young man as his own?

There's something about this series I just don't like, and it's not just because of the menage aspect from the first book in the series. The Russian wolf pack shows up again in this book and we aren't supposed to necessarily like them which is good because I only liked one of them plus the MC even in their own book. It's a little odd but realistic. I do like the protagonists here and I like that the little guy in this typical big alpha little omega tale is strong and independent. I like that there is growth in the characters and that the mating isn't the same as love. But something just rubs me the wrong way and I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the Russians. Maybe it's the lack of people getting along. Maybe it's the long scenes in the past including an overly long sex scene that wasn't in the slightest bit about love, had too much detail, and only contained one of the MCs along with a sex partner I didn't like. But it just leaves me cold.

There are weird editing issues where the wrong word is used such as "transcend" instead of "descend," "tolerable of" intead of "tolerant of." The age gap is unnecessary--when I have a problem with age gaps it's almost always when one of the characters is a minor and this guy is 18 (he thinks, doesn't even know)--and the older one calls the younger one "whelp" throughout almost the whole book. I hate it when characters talk about their mates as if the other were a child.

Although this was better than the first one, I'm rounding down my 2.5 star rating because it's left me without any desire to read another in the series.

Unfortunately, this book did not work for me. For me there was just no emotional connection between the main characters and I don't think Caleb even deserved Wild. What I found the most frustrating was the overuse of the white wolf, little wolf and whelp really made me want to stop reading and not continue to the end. The characters have names, it would be nice if they were used.

I picked this up thinking it would satisfy my craving for mindless shifter fluff, and ended up being pleasantly surprised that it was more than that.

It seems like the perfect setup for the stereotypical big, strong alpha finds small, hurt omega and they realize they're mates and live happily ever after. I loved that this went beyond that and explored some really interesting ideas.

I loved that Wild wasn't content to be the small, weak, taken-care-of partner, but that he wanted to be able to take care of Caleb in return. I enjoyed how he was able to be strong and fierce without coming across as posturing or bitchy.

I also really enjoyed how Caleb's back story was told through snippets of flashbacks. I liked the feeling of getting to know him little by little in the present, and getting to understand him better little by little through the flashbacks. It was a lovely balance, and nicely executed.

I understand that the story wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the trap and the hunters, but I felt like that subplot and then the various fights with the Russians took over a little too much at times. I'd have liked for the focus to be more tightly on Caleb and Wild, but maybe that's just because I came into the story looking for fluff.

My fluff craving was indeed satisfied, as these two have delicious chemistry, and I enjoyed that this story used the stereotypes and then went beyond them. Very enjoyable read.

Worth reading

I have to say i did like the book but not my favourite series overall. The series was a little disapointing.

A bit better than the first book in the series but still needs some better editing. Good enough story for a quick read.

I liked this one much better than the 1st one in the series. You can read this without reading the first, I did and it didn't feel like I was missing anything. But I do think after having read the first (followed by rereading this one), that it adds to the depth and richness of the story. It does not have as many unique threads as the first, but the relationship was more developed. This is not just due to it being 2 vs. 6 lovers. There were still some glaring editing issues, but there were fewer that threw me out of the story. I loved Wilds and was really tickled by his promise to the doctor and his telling of it to Caleb.

This novel started out good. It has a somewhat unique storyline, but by 80% (Book ended around 92% and went to excerpt for another book) I was bored with the Wild's whining because his mate wouldn't admit to the bond and take him already. I could only stand so much of the drama. A good story, and fairly well written, but no great character development or twists to make it a riveting read

It was an interesting addition to the paranormal genre. I like how it was written and structured. The characters were interesting, although I think I like the character of Wild more than I did Caleb. I would recommend it.

2.5 Stars

The story took too long to progress that it became somewhat boring and frustrating as you read on. I liked how the author put the flashbacks in between what's happening in real time. Not a bad read, but it could have been told in a faster pace.

I liked Wild. He was strong and new what he wanted.
I had more problem with Caleb. He had some issues, that's true but still I wasn't exactly convinced about the explanations he came up with for his actions.
It was rather nice story anyway.

I felt like Sam would have been more diplomatic or maybe the dialogue would have went differently? Strike that, I just remembered how often certain words were repeated, so a solid 3. I guess wolf politics keep everyone from just being friends?

3 stars. Good shifter story but for some reason I had no idea it was connected to another series by the author, so some of the other characters actions/interactions were a little confusing.

[Lila Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book more than the first one. Probably because it centered in one relationship. The slow build up was good and the reader gets a little info on the previous characters.

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honestly, a MUCH MUCH better story than the first one. By far.
