Where the first book (Timber Pack Chronicles) was one big werewolfy smut-fest of epic proportions, for which I may have noted in my review as being too “sex heavy,” this sequel went the opposite direction and wasn’t quite sexy enough for me! Turns out I’m a real Goldilocks when it comes to my book sex: I want not too little and not too much, but juuuust the right amount of on-page sex between my characters, or else I apparently become a real nag about it.
But I digress...
Colton’s Timber Pack are now well-established, with all the gang officially finished school, working together to build their lives as a happy little pack in their new little community. Among them is Jed, the pack’s enforcer, who finds himself feeling unsettled and lonely, unsure of what he wants to do with his life. But when he meets his fated mate at a werewolf convention, he can’t believe his luck, thinking everything will surely come together for him now he’s found the man he was destined to love.
Unfortunately, said mate, Buzz, is a key member of a larger pack who are cruel and backwards in many of their beliefs, not for a second permitting the possibility that gay werewolves could have fated mates, let alone allowing homosexuality among their ranks. As such, Buzz hides his nature, even to the point that he doesn’t quite initially accept Jed’s claims that they are true mates, even though he longs for him desperately.
Although Jed and Buzz meet early in the story, they don’t get to spend much on-page time together until well into the second half of the book, which made me restless and impatient to get the ball rolling in their mating. That said, the second half was much better paced and generally just more enjoyable, with lots of action and drama unfolding as Jed and Buzz grow closer in the midst of some major roadblocks.
I liked Jed and Buzz (although I hated their names 🥴), but I do wish their story had a bit more oomph in terms of the romance and sex content, particularly considering just how smutty book one turned out to be.
Ultimately, I didn’t have as much fun this time around, but I did enjoy Buzz and Jed’s overall dynamic and I appreciated the obstacles they had to overcome to get their HEA.

Sad panda. This was only okay for me. The MCs spend a lot of the book apart, which equals more angst, but fewer girthy shafts. Their sex was noticeably less crackalicious than Colton and Parker in Timber Pack Chronicles.
Because Buzz and Jed are much more of an equal size/strength than Parker and Colton I thought Colton (the author, Colton, not alpha wolf Colton) should have taken advantage of this to explore hot sex between two strong furry men. His insistence on pushing the virginal bottom/experienced top trope from book #1 was therefore a disappointment.
The second half of the story lost focus, as if Colton wasn't sure what to do with the pack once Buzz arrived at the camp. The developments seemed piecemeal and not completely thought through.
I'll still check out book 3, but this one just wasn't a favorite.

Second book in the “Timber Pack Chronicles” and this is the story of the Pack enforcer Jed who discovers his fated mate during a USA Pack convention.
Jed is a really nice, huge guy who comes from a wonderful, full of love and warmth family background.
His fated mate Buzz unfortunately is the brother of a rival Pack’s Alpha who does not believe in mating between males. Buzz is already engaged and promised to a not very understanding female wolf.
Jed will have to fight to make Buzz his.
Moreover, Timber Pack is expanding and it has now additional members.
A book that leads to very promising future for the Timber Pack. I am looking forward to any more books that will be published.

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one. It had more story and less sex. I like all the members of the Timber pack and I hope there are more adventures to come.

I did not like this nearly as much as the first. I thought Buzz was kind of a drip, who spent an inordinate amount of time handwringing over his duty to his evil brother and hellacious fiancee. Since I found him less than charismatic, his relationship with Jed felt totally driven by the usual insta-love, mate instinct stuff. On an up note, I enjoyed seeing the Timber Pack develop and Jed's new career as gas station manager--such a refreshing change from the usual high-flyin MCs. Unquestionably, I will be sticking with this series.

The first book in this series, Timber Pack Chronicles, may not have been perfect - but it was close on the erotica scale. I was seriously glued to that book (the drama, the intensity, the buildup, then the...), so of course I had to read this sequel right after. In some ways this book shone and worked well, and in some areas it just wasn't as good, as intense, as the first book.
The length is shorter since the pack has been introduced and established. Now there's just a relationship to focus on, and a sweet one it is. I liked Jeb from the first one, but it was told in an outsider perspective and made him seem a little like a arrogant perv. In this one he's more likeable as we're in his head. The book opens where he's depressed and withdrawing; the scene where he walked off alone from the pack when they had transformed was especially sobering. Shrug this off and we get to the meet with Buzz, where they first locked contact. It was ridiculously sweet, I couldn't put the book down that moment even if someone tried to force me to.
A flaw with the sequel is Parker. I dug him in the first book but egads, when did he get so annoying? I get he's effeminate, but he overdoes the waterworks and is so weak in this book its a turn-off. Colton is still in badass alpha mode but even this got overbearing, especially with his impatience concerning Jeb's grief at the table. Also, why be so dickish to his father? I get the man pissed him off but surely you can get over it and move on now? The father has tried to get over this rift. Now that Colton has Parker and his pack he makes it clear he could care less whether he ever sees his father again. That's wrong on multiple levels, whether you take into consideration shifter hormones and politics or not.
It would be dull and make little sense to read about the exact same character types as the first book. The author doesn't do that here - clearly Buzz is less submissive than Parker, but he's still ideal for Jeb, who again is less dominating and alpha than Colton. They work, they really do, and it's sweet. The erotica scenes were less intense, but that tree scene excelled. The bedroom count was lower too - less pages and less opportunity for that, but it didn't need any more than it contained. I kind of skimmed on those scenes anyway. Again the dialogue was a little too much during intimate moments, must be a personal preference.
The parting of them and the thing keeping them apart was strong, but I'm glad the author didn't drag it out. Overall Enforcer is a shorter book and, while not as good as the original, it's still a worthy sequel to read if you enjoyed Timber Pack Chronicles as much as I did. Wish Colton had more paranormal erotica written.

I have seriously fallen in love with the Timber Pack Chronicles. This is one series where the author, Rob Colton, surprises at every turn of the page. In the first book, it was the courtship of the alpha Colton and Patrick. It ended with a sad note for Jed. This one opens on that sad note and gives us Jed's story, of how he meets his unexpected mate and how they both deal with the pack mentality and politics.
I wanted to write a little summary of the story but decided to cut it because of the temptation of spoilers. All I can say is that this is a different book from the first one. The first book was the rise of the new alpha, the pack politics, his courtship with Patrick and their sexual interludes, both erotic and romantic. For Jed's story, it is more along the lines of how a young enforcer has to deal with difficulties handed to him, how he has to deal with the thought of never claiming his mate, and of other fears. The angst really focuses on Buzz and his own pack and alpha. His is not a favorable life and it is up to him to make a decision, to whether be a part of a pack where he cannot live free and be killed at the dip of the alpha's head, or live with a fated mate who will not only be true to him physically, but will always be there to be supportive and loving. He also has the choiceto live with a pack where fatal danger is offered as desert or live with the Timber Pack and be happy with a mate and a family that loves him unconditionally.
This book made me fall in love with the series and it took me longer to write this review because I just had to go back and reread Timber Pack Chronicles (Timber Pack Chronicles #1) once more. I could not but help going back to when it all started, when these young men first built a pack for themselves, not knowing where their road will take them. With the way this ended, with the hints left in this book, I cannot wait for what's next to come.

I liked this one better than the first because it didn't have the rampant sexing this time. Jed Stone, Enforcer of the Timber Pack, meets his mate, Buzz Hinske, Beta of the Tahoe pack and brother of its Alpha at the Conclave. Jed immediately knows that Buzz is his mate, but Buzz takes a bit of convincing, having grown up with homophobic views and being bullied by his older brother for most of his life.
When Buzz has to decide between marrying the woman his brother wants him to marry or running off to be with Jed - well, you can imagine what happens.
As before, the mating compulsion appears to override free will, and I can't help but wonder if Jed and Buzz would have loved each other without it. Such is the mythology here though, so I'm not complaining about it. I did like that Jed softened around his mate, and that Buzz, while not as strong, also didn't come across as a submissive to his mate.
The book has some violent scenes too, so if you have a weak stomach, beware.
The plot included more action scenes this time around, instead of focusing solely on the wolfy sex/romance, and we get glimpses of the Forrest View Pack members, primarily Jed's family.
The author also included scenes in which the Timber Pack really digs into building a future for themselves. And Shell and Curtis have the baby. Plus, another pup joins the pack. Those interactions were rather cute, and I'd like to see more of those next time around.
The plotline about the Hunters was well done, and I hope that the author will bring us more in future books.
Thank you, Heather, for gifting me this book for Christmas!!

Obligatory sequels with not enough story to go 'round, they never work.
This was okaaaay though.
I liked the pup, the beginning, the gas station and Jed's family.

4.5 Really enjoyed this one. Much more polished than Book 1. Jed and Buzz were a joy, and it was nice to see the Timber pack blossom. Colton and Parker were welcome cameos, as were Curtis, Shell and Trey and all of Jed's family. The pacing was much better in this book (it didn't feel as long winded as book 1), and the sex much more proportionate. I liked that Jed and Buzz had to wait a bit, at first due to separation and then, by choice, as they got to know each other.
Great story telling. Would have loved a Book 3 cause you know Zef is Alpha Miller's mate, but alas it seems the author has moved on to other things.

I greatly enjoyed this one, but it wasn't as good as the first one for me. I think the confrontation with Derek was resolved too quickly and easily. I'd like to think that Derek had a heart and really did care about his brother. I know he had a reaction previously when Buzz brought up their mother, but I just don't think Derek walking away when he clearly had the advantage was true to his character. I also would have liked more time with Buzz and Jed together. It seemed like as soon as Buzz showed up in Timber, everything went crazy, so Buzz and Jed didn't get time together like Colton and Parker did. What I did like about this book is that the secondary characters get plenty of screen time, so you know what's going on with Colton and Parker, Trey, Shell and Curtis, and Stan and Buck. They crack me up every time they get busted, and Stan's reaction is too adorable. And how could you not love Wylie?! I hope we get more stories about these guys because I'd like to see Wylie growing up, and I can't wait for him to start talking!

Have to admit I really liked this one, way better than the fist book though as a couple I just fell more in love with Colt and Parker.
Jed Stone, Timber pack's redhead hunky enforcer has been dealing with the after effects of silver poisoning and a fucking long dry spell, that all changes on the annual lycan Conclave, where he meets his true mate Buzz Hinske, the beta is ecstatic to know he has a mate but he wont go against his alpha's wishes and orders, he fears accepting Jed but Jed isnt going to make it easy for him to say no.
This story was definitely more entertaining, I found Jed completely adorable and such a noble and sexy guym I just loved him, and Buzz is just simple too cute!
Also the plot was interesting and eye-catching, I really enjoyed it. I really really hope next book is Zef's IDK why but i just know he's gay and will be Alpha Miller's mate!

To be honest, I didn't like this one as much as the first one and I think that had to do with the MC's spending a lot of time apart and then not really getting to know one another. Colt and Parker spent a lot of time together and I think that's why I liked them so much.
Jed and Buzz. Hmmm. Well, I really like Jed, still. Jed's family was amazing. I am still peeved about Colt's dad.
Book 3?! Also, there was hint that Trey isn't really all that straight. Are we going to see him get his own book?

I enjoyed reading this latest book from the Timber Pack Chronicle series. Jed attends the Lycan Conclave, and is over the moon to discover his true mate, Buzz. Now he knows what all the fuss was about when Colton met Parker for the first time. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the really hot kinky sex. Bring on the third book!
December 8, 2015
Another hit by Rob Colton...he is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved Jed's story and the way he fell head over heels for Buzz. Great to catch up with the rest of the Timber pack and some of the new members. I hope one of the next stories covers Stan and how he met his big bear.
November 13, 2015
Fun read. I wish Buzz had stuck up for himself more. Not a fan of letting others fight your battles for you, even if I understand the dynamic set up. Love Jed. Love seeing the pack again. Love the intro of "Wylie".

Decent follow up
This isn't as fleshed out as book one and it doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of sexy times but it's still a decent read.
Jed finds his mate but there are complications along the way including convincing Buzz that two men can be fated to be together.

Jed is the enforcer for the newly established Timber Pack. Segueing from the first novel, we discover that the silver poisoning Jed sustained while trying to protect Parker has been slow to leave his system. Even though he manages to still shift, the enforcer experience debilitating pain each time and an overriding weakness that leaves him questioning whether or not he can still be effective in his job. As the annual conclave approaches, Jed is at an all time emotional low. So, he is shocked when he senses the tantalizing scent of his mate at the opening meet and greet.
Buzz has long questioned why his older brother named him as one of his betas. His sibling’s obvious contempt for gay wolves along with numerous lies Buzz has been fed by both his siblings leaves him not only desperately alone but feeling inadequate as well. When he finds out that he is to be mated to a dominant she-wolf as a means of binding a newly conquered pack to his own, Buzz is absolutely devastated to realize he will never be able to live, as he desires. Instead he must hide his real desires for a male mate and do his brother’s bidding or be exiled and even, possibly killed. Imagine his surprise when he is confronted by his mate, who is not only male, but also openly gay and enforcer to an openly gay alpha and an accepting pack.
Now these two men must face the fact that if Buzz’s mating is to actually take place it will sever their own tenuous bond and leave Jed alone the rest of his life, pining over his lost mate. Can Buzz really turn his back on a future where he can be free at last? Or will he somehow manage to break free from the tyranny of his older brothers and find his way back into Jed’s arms?
Enforcer (Timber Pack Chronicles Book 2) by Rob Colton solidifies for me that this author knows how to write a strong dramatic romance story that flows easily and does not hinge on a series of sex scenes to further the plot line. This was a tighter novel overall, with a fascinating story that alternately made me wring my hands in despair for poor Buzz and cheer as he stepped out from under his heartless and cruel older brother and claimed the life that was his to live. I really enjoyed the idea that Jed actually had to experience slower healing—a plot point rarely pursued in paranormal stories where a shift or time or two in animal form usually heals a shifter completely. It allowed for Jed to wrestle with his how he views himself and the idea that a weakened enforcer could not serve his alpha or his pack effectively. I felt that Jed’s very definition of how he fit into this newly formed pack was in crisis and it pulled me into the story immediately. From that point on I was hooked and invested in how Jed and Buzz would manage to carry their own personal burdens.
Enforcer was by far a much stronger novel then its predecessor. Where the first installment in this series seemed to flounder plot wise and rely way too heavily on sex to keep the story moving, this sequel hinged all its development on the unfolding story surrounding Jed and Buzz and also managed to reveal a threat by outside sources that I feel may loom larger in future books. Overall, I felt this was a much improved narrative and a more tightly woven story overall

This follow up to Book 1 was right on the money. I totally enjoyed it as much as I did book 1. Please tell me there will be more to this series? I need more of these boys!

This is Jed's story.
We get glimpses of Colton, Parker, Trey and other other friends that have just graduated from high school and start to live adult lives with a new baby coming and Colton working as a deputy sheriff.
The new and very young pack go to the yearly national pack meet where Jed smells and finds his mate, Buzz from a Californian pack. Buzz is recently betrothed the daughter of a recently added pack so that his brother the alpha can cement the new enlarged pack. Buzz would have gone with the marriage if he hadn't found his true mate. Buzz is totally a coward for the better part of this story which was really annoying, thank goodness he remembers that he is a man before he ruins Jed's life by rejecting their love.
HEA was cute and unsurprising. I didn't like this story nearly as much as the first Timber Pack Chronicles although it was great to meet up with our beloved youngsters again in this book.
200ish pages and 0.99$ on Amazon

Enforcer, the second book in the Timber Pack Chronicles series by Rob Colton, solidifies for me that this author knows how to write a strong dramatic romance story that flows easily and does not hinge on a series of sex scenes to further the plot line. This was a tighter novel overall than the first, with a fascinating story that alternately made me wring my hands in despair for poor Buzz and cheer as he stepped out from under his heartless and cruel older brother and claimed the life that was his to live. I really enjoyed the idea that Jed actually had to experience slower healing—a plot point rarely pursued in paranormal stories where a shift or time or two in animal form usually heals a shifter completely.

★★ = It wasn't bad but it wasn't good. It was just okay.
I like how Rob can deliver a smutty romance that is simple yet fulfilling. The story flows nicely. It was predictable when met with scenes of drama or emotional strain, although, I was quiet happy just following along as Jed found Buzz and fought against all the problems that came with him.
I love Timber Park Chronicles and I was eager to start this, however, I didn't like this as much as Parker and Colton's story.
In the end, it was a nice little extra and I'm happy I read it.

This was good, although not as good as Colton and Parker's slow burn in Timber Pack Chronicles. Jed and Buzz just weren't as hot/chemistry ridden together. But it was nice to see Jed get his HEA with a little drama thrown in for good measure. I definitely smell a book 3 and I can't wait!

Enforcer is a nice addition to the series. I liked the wide variety of personalities, that shifter culture was hierarchical and strict, and that the women were portrayed realistically. What I didn't like was the overly simplistic writing that marred my enjoyment of the book.
UPDATE DEC 2017: Enjoyed more the second time. Sincerely wish Mr. Colton would continue the series. Upping this book to 3.5 stars.

Like a 3.75. I was a little disappointed the first time when I read it weekly. I think it was because I was looking for more Parker and Colton. Then once it was complete I read it through and found it much more enjoyable because I was able to pick up all the little things. It made it much sweeter.

Not as good as the first one. Parker and Colton are still my favorite and I was so happy to see more of them here. Baby Wylie was fckin perfect for them!
I wanted more from Jed and Buzz.

So many sandwiches.
Honestly, the Timber Pack Chronicles got me into the giddy reading mood I’ve been missing, especially this book.
I thought I loved Jed before, but as soon as he called his mom ‘mama’ and started acting like this perfect, goof-ball...it was official. The relationship between Jed and Buzz was so fucking cute that I fought the urge to skip everything else just to get back to them. I think they were a stronger couple than any of the others and fit perfectly together.
As much as I enjoyed the sex in the last one, I loved the fact Jed and Buzz just made shoujo-eyes and supported each other (the sex, of course, was bara-licious) The story was, again, simple and straightforward but focused more on the characters which I didn't mind since they were adorable as hell.
OH, and the teaser for Zef and Miller? Not cool, because I need a fucking story with them now! (╬ Ò﹏Ó)
