Pack to the Wall

Paranormal Dating Agency #90

by Milly Taiden

She’s got a runaway hit, a controlling manager, and one very public meltdown. He’s a wolf shifter with pack drama, a private island, and zero interest in celebrities.

Chrissy Rivera didn’t plan to fake-ill her way out of a charity gala and disappear before sunrise—but when matchmaking icon Gerri Wilder offers an escape route via helicopter, she takes it. The destination? A no-press, no-schedule sanctuary that turns out to include a very large, very shirtless Alpha with opinions about everything—including her.

Zev Landon doesn’t do pop stars. Or unexpected guests. Or women who smell like jasmine and trouble. But the moment Chrissy steps onto Isle Luna, his wolf makes it she’s not going anywhere.

Now the guitars are vintage, the mate bond is snapping, and the paparazzi are circling overhead.

Because when a wolf claims his mate, not even fame can break the bond.

Chrissy a talented singer, bullied by her controlling manager when Gerri Wilder steps in to help
Chrissy had never felt as low as she did that night at what should have been a celebration of her success, instead she was being bullied by her manager and his assistant who terrorised her and belittled her at every opportunity.
Gerri Wilder a tiny woman who simply controlled any room that she walked in to and she had walked up to her and congratulated her as her manager preened and smiled like a wolf waiting to pounce on it prey. Then to her surprise had hugged her and whispered conspiritually that if she needed help all she had to do was call her on the number on the card she secreted in her had and that was exactly what she had done.
Now less than six hours later Gerri had secreted her out of her hotel after she had reported illness to her manager, then she had been flown by plane and then helicopter to a secret destination wit Gerri at her side every step of the way. The island had been a paradise and when she had seen Zev Landon the owner of the island along with his pack she had felt as though she had met her significant other, she had no idea why but was happy to be somewhere she felt safe.
Zev had known the instant she left the helicopter with Gerri that she was his fated mate, his wolf was already prowling below his skin and he had almost collapsed for the first time in his life it was a good job his second had discreetly steadied him but Gerri had noticed and was enjoying his embarrassment.
Unfortunately, as things are going well for Chrissy and Zev it soon becomes apparent that she is his mate his Luna and she feels the same about him and has already made friends with the younger island members and she is totally besotted with them all.
The without spoiling the read for others I will say that Chrissy and Zev have decided to make them Fated Mates official but her manager threatens her via her father and she once again puts her happiness on the backburner. This time however she has an Alpha and her mate on her team and he is not going to lose his Luna and her pack and family are equally as determined.
I guarantee that you will read this book in one sitting and will be on the edge of your seat until you discover the outcome.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Pack to the Wall is the 90th title in the Paranormal Dating Agency series. That number is… just amazing! Gerri Wilder strikes again.

Chrissy is a rising musical star, currently managed by a bully, overworked, and constantly on a corporate leash. A chance meeting (or was it really chance?) with a tiny, dynamic Gerri Wilder will change her life in ways she could never have imagined. Zev is the owner of a luxurious, hidden resort, a billionaire, and the alpha of the wolf pack that lives on the island, hidden in plain sight from the world. One phone call from Gerri will change his life, too. His mate has just landed on his island… and heads will roll if anyone harms her.

I will never tire of returning to the PDA universe, and Pack to the Wall is a perfect example of why anything in this series is an auto-grab for me. I loved the dynamics between Chrissy and Zev. Yes, she’s wounded, mentally, her music no longer her own, and under a contract that gives an evil bully control of everything. The healing atmosphere of the island, the protection of a man who seems to only want what’s best for her, will go a long way in turning her life around. Of course, their journey is not without danger. Yet this couple proves that no one gets between an Alpha and his Luna… ever.

Pack to the Wall by Milly Taiden is another well-written, emotional, passionate, and satisfying addition to the Paranormal Dating Agency world. I loved every aspect of their romance.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

I loved this book! Chrissy and Zev make a cute couple. Chrissy is a pop singer that is afraid of her manager who never has anything good to say to her. She at a gala fundraiser and between her assistant and the manager Chrissy feels scared so when she meets Gerri Wilder who offers her an escape plan from it all she takes it. Chrissy runs away to a remote island and ends up meeting Zev her mate. Zev knows the instant Chrissy gets off the helicopter that she’s his mate. No one outside except Gerri Wilder knows where Chrissy is. Chrissy and Zev get to know each other and are mated before her manager finds out where she is. What will Zev do to protect Chrissy from her manager? Chrissy manager is making treats against anyone who gets in way because wants Chrissy back at all costs. You’ll need to read the book to find out what happens. I received this free ARC copy for my review.

Chrissy Rivera’s simple video of playing a folksy song she wrote about her dad turned her into an overnight pop star. That notoriety wasn’t at all what she expected. Unable to sing her songs, play music her way, eat what she wanted, or even see her father, she was imprisoned by her success (and an ironclad contract with her label).

But Gerri Wilder always seems to know where she’s needed most. Her unparalleled matchmaking skills provided for Chrissy’s appearance on Zev’s exclusive island resort. For the first time she could remember since signing with Empire, Chrissy felt safe and free.

Her manager, Marty, wasn’t as willing to let her go. From threats and kidnappings, his tactics were as underhanded as he was abusive. Chrissy learned first hand what it meant to belong to a pack and to have its alpha swear to protect her.

This story was another great book in the series. Unbelievably still running with its 90th book. I can’t wait for the next one

Packed to the Wall by Milly Taiden pub 7/22/25 5 stars
Chrissy & Zev

Ms Taiden always comes up with new ideas-how?

She's a talented new singer. New meaning, she signed a contract that wasn't the way she wanted to live her life. Gerrie to the rescue. She needs a mate for an alpha pack leader. Doesn't matter human or wolf; they fit. Now she just has to get them together and let fate do the rest.

Their meeting and getting acquainted is fun and just what they both need. However, life isn't that easy. You'll enjoy reading their time together. Will fate win out over the evil that has been pursuing her?

As always, the PDA books are fun and filled with great characters, steam, and an engaging story.

Such a fun story to read. I loved the characters, Chrissy and Zev. They were the perfect matches to one another. Chrissy needed aving, and good ole' Gerry was more than happy to step and lend a hand, and play a little matching at the same time. Gerry always knows what someone needs, regardless of whether they want it or even realize it themselves. Zev is exactly what Chrissy needs: a big, strong male who is willing and completely capable of standing up for her and protecting her against people who have no problem hurting her.

This is one of my all-time favorite series. I had the best time reading this book, and I look forward to reading whatever comes next in this series.

Well done to the author!

Gerri rescues music star Chrissy and takes her to a private island resort owned and run by a wolf pack. She leaves Chrissy with her fated mate, Zev, along with a packet of information about her slimy manager. Chrissy is happy to finally get some peaceful down time, though she knows Marty will find her sooner or later. Zev is determined to make sure she stays on Isle Luna and that Marty pays for the way he has treated her.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Christy was a pop star- a very "hot sat this minute" mega pop star. Unfortunately, she was trapped- by a contract, by her manager, her handlers....Until Geri Wilder offered her a way out- and Zev caught her scent. On his Tropical paradise, he'll keep her safe and out of sight. And perhaps, he'll keep her for good....Fabulous PDA book by Milly Taiden!
