Hell Hath No Fury #1
Scorned
FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF WHY CHOOSE ROMANCE ANGELA ADDAMS Book one in the Hell Hath No Fury series.
Hell hath no fury like a werewolf scorned.
All I’d ever wanted was to blend in among the humans, but my stepbrothers had other plans. When one of them sent a thug to abduct me, I had to let my true self out, claws and all.
That was the thing… The men in my world were always underestimating me.
Being the hothead that I was, I went straight to the source of the problem—the new alpha of my family’s clan, my stepbrother Sal. He had a surprise of his own, though, and when he hit me with a magically infused pure silver collar, I crumbled like I didn’t have A-plus DNA in my blood.
That was when the Duke brothers entered my life. Heroes in their own minds, they worked a deal with Sal to buy me…as if I were a commodity. To the males in my species, that was what I was, but to the Duke brothers I was the final piece in a prophecy puzzle. They wanted me to rule their clan, be alpha to their pack, which meant they wanted me to take the bites of all three of them.
To that I said, not on your life, boys. But, damn, they were hot, and I was willing to give cohabitation a try. I’d explore their old-world scrolls and prints and listen to their fairy tales about a superpowered queen alpha. I could even get behind training with their pack, but I wasn’t ever going to let a werewolf take a bite out of me.
At least that was what I kept telling myself. The beast inside me had other plans, and I’d never truly known how to stop her from getting what she wanted, no matter who she might have to destroy to achieve her goals.
Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence.

Scorned is the first book in the Hell Hath No Fury series, and we start with Charlie trying to live as a human after being exiled from her pack. After something happens, she returns ‘home’ to give her stepbrother, Sal, what for. Things don’t turn out the way Charlie was expecting though – including her being sold to a different pack!
The three brothers are all unique, with their own very differing personalities. They want Charlie to lead their pack and they’re not too bothered about how they go about that, being as they say she has been calling to them for years. I loved the aspect of Charlie learning about her beast and abilities with the brothers.
I was thoroughly enjoying this book, right up until the last scene. And it’s not because I don’t like BDSM scenes because I do. What I didn’t like was how this took place in the dreamscape with no consent or talks about limits. Yes, that may take the sexy out of it, but it is needed!
I look forward to reading more in this series and seeing how the story continues.

Scorned is a bold, high-heat paranormal romance that leans fully into power, defiance, and dangerous attraction. The story centers on a heroine who refuses to be controlled, even in a world where dominance and hierarchy define survival. That tension between resistance and inevitability drives the narrative with real intensity.
What stands out most is the unapologetic voice of the protagonist. She’s volatile, self-aware, and unwilling to submit quietly, which gives the story its edge. The dynamic between her and the Duke brothers adds layers of conflict and intrigue, blending prophecy, power struggles, and reluctant proximity in a way that keeps the stakes both emotional and physical.
At its core, this is a story about control who has it, who takes it, and what it costs to hold onto it. With its strong character voice and charged atmosphere, Scorned is especially well suited to audio, where tone, tension, and character interplay can heighten the immersive, addictive quality of the story.

Unique world
This volume is very short. It obviously is not a completed work. I assume more books will follow and this is a series? What there is of it is very well written and expertly edited. The storyline is interspersed with sexy dreamscapes formatted in italics. The plot and world development are quite unique to other wolf shifter stories.
