Big Wolf on Campus #3

by Aidy Award, Piper Fox

Don't want your best friend to find out you're in love with him? Maybe don't put him in your not-so-secret paranormal romance novel.

Rosie:
I've been writing a romance novel and it stars my best friend.
He's a star on the Dire Wolves football team and I've been in love with him for years.
But he just thinks of me as one of the guys, albeit one with plus-size curves.
But I want to be so much more.

Nik:
Nothing like reading your best friend's novel and seeing yourself starring in all the schmexy bits.
She even made the hero a freaking wolf.
Is there a chance she wants to do all these naughty things with me? Because she's been starring in my fantasies for years.
But she knows nothing about the politics of the the wolf world. Including the fact that I don't get to choose my own mate.

Grab this friends to lovers romance with an arranged marriage twist and see just how fate plays favorites with the Dire Wolves and their curvy girls.

Nik and Rosie are so CUTE together. From page one i was all in with this geek girl/cool guy couple. Mostly because I really imagined Jacob Black in Nik's place - Nik is nice, kind, THE best friend a girl could ask for, and STUPID hot and smart to boot. This book was the perfect read to snuggle with on a Valentine's Day that I was sick and craving happy ever after.

Heart Throb Wolf: A Curvy Girl and Wolf Shifter College Sports Romance BOOK 3
Review: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥/5
🧑🏻‍🚒🧑🏻‍🚒🧑🏻‍🚒🧑🏻‍🚒🧑🏻‍🚒/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

It's getting hot in her, someone call a sexy, hunky, firefighter/wolf to put this fire down with his wolfy hose!!!
In the third book of the BIg Wolf on Campus series, we have a friends to lovers/fated mates story. This story brings to life best friends Nik and Rosie, our sexy male is a wolf and our lovely Rosie is “human” and knows nothing about her best friend's supernatural side. In this book we see how best friends had always been in love, but they hesitated because of their unique and precious friendship. It takes a steamy book about a sexy firefighter for Nik to realize that his feelings aren't one sided after all. The amazing Aidy and Piper bring us a story with fated love, new enemies, arranged marriage, and a fire🔥. Once again we will see our hunky wolves and their fated mates take on a new adventure.

This was the best out of the three so far. We continue the book boyfriend and 'I'm not like other girls, I read paranormal romance books.' but it works better here. Rosie and Nik are charming and best friends to lovers combined with fated mates is just hard to mess up.

There's an arranged marriage here that I think should've come in at the beginning instead of toward the middle. It comes pretty quick and is over just as fast, so it felt like an unnecessary detour. There's also a lot of usage of 'sexy times,' and, no. Some of the wording across the series makes the writing feel juvenile, and it doesn't make much sense when the characters are also using rather vulgar words during the sex scenes.

Against my better judgment, I will probably also read the fourth book when it comes out.

It's hard to be friends when you look at someone and all you see is everything you ever wanted

Nik and Rosie are absolutely adorable together. I love when a friends to lovers' story has a happy ending. Rosie has been smitten for Nik since forever. Rosie knows he would not be interested in her other than being friends. He could have any girl he wanted, why would he be interested in a nothing special chubby girl.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Nik has had his eye on Rosie for years. She is in all his sexy dreams, he is not interested in anyone but her. So when he reads her latest romance novel, he discovers the hero in the book is him and he is ecstatic. Their story is super cute and sexy and definitely put a smile on my face. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Aidy Award and Piper Fox make an excellent writing duo!

Their characters are true to life and always funny and smexy!

Two best friends that have been friends for nearly five years Rosie March now an aspiring author and her fire fighter friend Nikita (aka Nik) Grimm have been deluding themselves for years not wanting to ruin their friendship by admitting their feelings until Rosie finally has a book launch and the star of her book is a sexy wolf shifter fire fighter named Mick and the heroine is named Thyme…

What will Nik do after he read the book?
Will he go claim his woman Roses or as he calls her babe?
What will Rosie do when she finds out his secret?
What are Niks parents up to with a wolf tress named Erika?

I really enjoy this spin off series and look forward to more!

Special Love Story

All of these books written about curvy women and the hot men who loves them tells us that curvy women can and will find true love with that one special person and who knows it could be the same person that you have known for all of your life and never realized that there was a connection, love will find a way it will happen , never think so badly of yourself that no one will ever want to love you , beauty is in the eye of the beholder , p!us who wouldn't want to have a hot wolf shifter boyfriend. Cannot wait to see what happens next. This book was reviewed by a Book Loving Vixen.

[Stacey Foss · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book Nik was and always will be right next to Rose as he has been her best friend for years. They both have been keeping secrets from each other and it takes Rose writing a book for them to come out. The two of them are like two peas in a pod and do everything together tell each other everything except the one thing that they should have been saying. This is a friends to lovers story that melts your heart and makes you swoon. This quick read gives you everything you want from a romance even with a couple of twists that pull at your heart strings. Wonderful read great story.
I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.

[Carol Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just completed this ebook! Then I read the intro for the ad of the book and it said a sports romance. I don't usually read sports romances so I was shocked! I finished the story between Rosie and Nick, so you usual story of a human and wolf shifter being faded mates. The good thing about 80 awards writing style is I visually see it so clearly I think I'm watching a movie in my own head and enjoying it like I'm part of the scene. The sex scenes are passionate, loving, and many times some humor has been injected into the scene. Needless to say, I enjoyed this ebook romance shifter story immensely.

This is Heart Throb Wolf: A Curvy Girl and Wolf Shifter college sports romance, written by Aidy Award. No one writes BBW like Ms Award! Nik and Rosie have been “just friends” for years. Now the time has come for Nik to let her know his true feelings! One problem?? A 10 alarm clinger who has become his intended with no knowledge from him. Now Nik will have to fight to hold on to his happiness. Can he cancel the arrangement that his parents lay in place? Will he be able to break it without causing an all pit pack war? Read on to find out! Another amazing read from Ms Aidy Award!!

[Amy Weller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely fantastic, I loved it!

This book is phenomenal! Aidy and Piper have done it again with this third book in their collaboration. Serena Troika is at it again and this time she has Nik and Rosie in her sights. The two have been best friends for years but their feelings run deeper than that. It will take a nudge from Selena to move them to the next level. It won’t be easy but it will be well worth it in the end!

I read an ARC copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fun read filled with a friends to lovers romance. I love this trope and these authors did a great job entertaining me with this sweet hot romance that also had enough drama to spice things up - and lots of wolfy fire fighters to add beefcake to my reading adventure ;D There are politics, angst and self image issues to be dealt with but you can definitely expect a sweet and steamy romance when you open this one up. So much fun and I'm definitely looking forward to more books for this series.

Heart Throb Wolf

What happens when you are trying to write a sexy romance novel and you use your best childhood friend as the male lead inspiration? Pouring everything you have ever fantasized about him into each and every sex scene?! Literally outing yourself with this love letter you’ve written to him disguised as a book?!
This was such a cute, fun novella to read and it did something else that I truly love - it kept us in the world of the Troika Wolf Pack - which I could read about all day long! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story, about accepting love that is in front of you. I love how Rosie’s book brings them together, even though they both have been hiding their feelings. As usual Selina is an active part of bringing them together. Life is not smooth sailing; they have to deal with getting Nik out of an arranged marriage. However, they can get through it together and experience the love they were both looking for. I highly recommend you read this book, it is so sweet with a bit if steaminess and action. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Barbara Atkinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third in the series and another great story. Nik is the third Dire Wolf to find his fated mate. It’s his best friend Rosie. When Rosie writes a book sharing all of dirty fantasies about her best friend she has no intention in him ever reading it. Once he gets his hands on a copy and realizes she feels the same
Way as him he intends to make her his. That is until
Another wolftress shows up claiming he is engaged to her.
I loved this story and what Nik was willing to
Go through to make Rosie his. The passion between these two is 🔥.

[CherylB · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third book in this series. I love seeing these big men (wolves) on campus fall for their fated mate. I also like to read curvy girls win. This book features Nik and Rosie. They’ve known each other for years. The attraction sparked right from the beginning but they were each afraid of losing their best friend. Thanks to a little (I mean a lot) meddling by Serena these couples fall hard. I can hardly wait to see who falls next.

[Avis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series. Curvy girls meets Hawt wolves.
Rosie is so cute. Shy, introverted yet she has an inner strength .
Nik is a dream come true.
Loved the chemistry between the two. Her believing in him when he needed it the most. Him giving her confidence in herself.
Well paced. Action and some drama. And of course steamy romance. Great HEA.
Who will Selena hook up next.
I was given this wonderful story as an ARC with no obligation for my honest review.

Heart Throb Wolf

Who doesn’t love a hot fireman who also happens to be a shifter? Rose certainly does and so do I. She and Nik pretty much burn this book down with their friends to lovers story and I loved every minute of it. Plenty of stuff for them to sort through to keep it interesting for sure. And lots of side characters that I’m waiting to see get their story. Excited to read the next one!

[Andrea Frankel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet

Another short, sexy, enjoyable read. But for heaven's sake, PLEASE get an editor! Missing or duplicated words and bopping back and forth between past and future tenses really detracted from my ability to stay immersed in the story. Regardless of how short the story may be, it still deserves professional treatment before you shove it out of the nest to (hopefully) take flight.

[Teri Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finding your true love

All 4 of the books were great. Finding your true mate and learning that love does help conquer all. The boys figuring out that it takes a team to help with everything and not being scared to show your true self. The girls finding happiness in different situations and learning to love their true self. Big curve girls should find love and great friends too.

[Alex E. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book so much. For once Nick only wants Rose and he is not a Playboy. They both had a crush with each other since they met 4 years ago but they were too afraid to say anything. Rose had issues with how she looked being a curvy girl and Nick being a firefighter/ football player/ shifter.
Quick, funny, adorable and with a twist to spice things up!

[Sher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun book. Quick pace. Love the world building. Nick and Rose have been best friends for years. What happens when a book, an arranged marriage and a fire enter the mix?
Lots of action and 'spicy bits'. My second favorite matchmaker, Selena is too cool. I'm wishing for more tales from her bookstore.

[Natalie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heart Throb Wolf

Even a blind wold could see that Erika was up to no good. I swear Selena is the official shifter matchmaker. She seemed to know that Rosie and Nik were mates from the start. If it haven't been for Nik's friends he would have tried to carry out his so called duties and be unhappy.

[Cassandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Couple had been cute and I love a good geek and jock romance. The only thing I will say for the series is the need to have someone they trust to proof read the book before they submit. Quite a few hiccups I like to say in the series as a whole. Things like the with the or he when is should be she. I know it is small things. It’s why it’s a 4/5 for me. Other wise the series is a great read.

[Sams_Fantasy_Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series. This is the 3rd instalment of hot wolf shifters. This one includes hot firemen. What a great combo, and what more can you ask for.  A beautiful romance between 2 friends, while also continuing the stories from the previous 2 books, I can't wait to find out what happens in the next. 

[Fran · Rating 5 out of 5]

loved Nik and Rosie

Nik and Rosie have been best friends since high school. When she writes a book about a wolf shifter firefighter she only thinks of Nik. When he reads her book he knows she wrote about him. Nik knows Rosie is his fated mate but his parents have plans to marry him off to another. Fast paced very steamy hot read. Loved Nik and Rosie.

[Tabitha Conard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun read

I had to take a break when Erika pulled her little stunt. Ugh that broke my heart for a minute. I really enjoyed the story line, but it felt like the phrasing was really confusing, like some of the words were out of order.

[Sharon Noble · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

Nik is a wolf shifter, football player & a fireman & has lived Rose for years. Rose is a book need & has written a book about her best friend Nik but what she doesn't know is she got the book right about him being a wolf shifter!
