Daddy Wolf: Accidentally Soul-Bonded & Honestly Not Okay
Apparently I'm 'Daddy Wolf' now.
I had one survive the Academy of Carnal Arcana without my wolf causing a scene. Spoiler I failed spectacularly.
My plan was foolproof. Keep my instincts in check, ace my classes, and graduate quietly from this unhinged carnal magic university. Then Pepper’s spell made everyone on campus dangerously touch-starved, and I accidentally soulbonded myself to three elemental fae. Briar, Tansy, and Lotus were definitely out of my league.
Just thinking their names makes my wolf howl.
When we touch, my control snaps, the magic surges, and sometimes furniture explodes. Let’s just say the Academy's going to need a bigger repair budget.
Now the Headmistress is breathing down our necks, the High Court wants answers, and apparently everyone has opinions about the shifter who claimed three fae hearts.
I thought managing my primal urges was complicated. Turns out that was the easy part. Now I have to dodge academic probation, survive enchanted group rituals, and figure out how to satisfy three bonded mates without setting the school on fire.
Some guys struggle with commitment. I’m struggling with combustion.

Another great read from Salem Sinner! I was excited to finally get more of Kai after the last book, and I loved the added world-building that answered a lot of lingering questions. This story runs parallel to the previous one same timeline, but from Kai’s POV instead of Pepper’s. While it doesn’t move the plot forward much, it does a great job setting up what’s to come. We meet Briar, Lotus, and Tansy, three fae who soul bond with Kai. Watching him learn self-control and trust his wolf was surprisingly moving (who knew smut could make you reflect on control?). I’m still curious about the fae world and hope book four dives deeper into that. The setup for the next book is strong! Eroxin might be my new favorite chaos goblin, Ravish is unraveling, and I’m rooting for Astrid to make him work for it.

DADDY WOLF: ACCIDENTALLY SOUL-BONDED AND HONESTLY NOT OKAY is the third book in the Academy of Carnal Arcana series and focuses mainly on Kai and his new soul-bond mates in the aftermath of Pepper's chaos in their book.
We didn't get much of Kai in Pepper's book, so I was looking forward to finding out what had happened from his perspective, plus seeing where Pepper, Rex, Cruz, Astrid, and Ravish go with their stories. Unfortunately for me, that's not exactly what I got.
Don't get me wrong, this book is hot on a lot of levels, and I did enjoy seeing Kai, Briar, Tansy, and Lotus figure out their bond. What I didn't like was the constant back-and-forth between Kai and his wolf, plus the whole sanctification side of things. I won't detail anymore as I don't want to give out any spoilers.
While I am loving this series, this book didn't do it for me in the way the previous ones have. I'm hoping to continue with the series and see what happens next. I still recommend this one, but you definitely have to read the others prior to this one. 3.5 rounded up.

4.5 stars. Another great book from Salem Sinner! I was sad we didn't get much of Kai in the last book, so I was looking forward to this one. There was a lot more world building, which I enjoyed since I had a lot of questions from the first 2 books. Timeline wise, this takes place over the same time period as the last book, just from Kai's POV instead of Pepper's POV. I didn't love that this book doesn't really move the story forward at all, so it felt a little like characters were being repositioned instead of further developing.
We meet Briar, Lotus, and Tansy, three fae who are looking for an anchor and end up soul bonding with Kai. Seeing Kai learn about control and trusting himself and his wolf was surprisingly poignant. I wasn't expecting to reexamine my definition of control while reading smut, yet here I am. I wanted to know more about the fae world and why they are part of an exchange program, but maybe that is being saved for book four.
Everything I really liked about this book leads to the setup of the next book. Eroxin seems like they may be my new favorite chaos goblin. Ravish is obviously losing his mind, and I hope Astrid gets a little more confident and makes Ravish crawl for her.

All your favorite characters are back...wreaking mayhem and magical complications.
Remember the campus-wide spell gone wrong in the previous book Spell Gone Wrong? Well it definitely went wrong for more than just Astrid.
Kai was minding his business until he was bonded to three women during the accidental spell that went wrong. Except, how wrong can it be if a bond was made?
Daddy Wolf was a wild ride. We find out more about the implications for Astrid as well as Kai. Bonds, more sex, and a baby?
I couldn't tell where this book was going until it got there and I was not prepared for the culmination of Kai's bond. Then his inner wolf also had a voice in this book and it was the extra that was missing from other people's stories. It was interesting that his inner voice was not him specifically but his wolf. I loved this book and as always it would be even better if longer and more detailed.

Daddy Wolf: Accidentally Soul-Bonded and Honestly Not Okay by Salem Sinner is a wild, fast-paced paranormal romance that earns a solid 4 stars from me. The premise is chaotic in the best possible way: an accidental soul-bond, an overprotective wolf shifter “daddy,” and a FMC who is very much not okay with any of it—and absolutely done with everyone’s nonsense. The tone is a fun mix of spicy, unhinged, and emotionally soft underneath all the snark. The banter lands, the chemistry snaps right from the start, and the soul-bond adds a delicious layer of forced proximity, heightened emotions, and “I shouldn’t care this much, but I do.” For a relatively short book, it still manages to build a vivid sense of pack dynamics and found family, which makes the sweeter moments hit harder.If you enjoy paranormal romance that leans into kink, humour, and big feelings without taking itself too seriously, this is a very satisfying, bingeable read.

I was not sure how much I would enjoy this story at first. I do not read many harem books that primarily have females more than males. But I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining tale. I enjoy that we continue to have the main characters POV but it made me happy to be able to see Kai and where he is coming from. He is important to this world. It couldn’t have been easy being raised in a pack with high expectations of you and fighting against your instincts and wolf all the time. I adore the nymphs, Tansy, Briar and lotus. All three are unique. A lot happens with the four of them. The banter is perfect and there is so much chemistry from the start, and the soul-bond creates an environment of closeness that must be maintained whether they want it or not. We get a good sense of pack dynamics and found family, that is common especially in pack beings, like wolf sifters. If you enjoy paranormal romance with humor, a lot of spice and kink, found family, then I highly recommend this book and series.

This book had me laughing out loud! My favorite of the 3 books, so far. Smutty and fun. Tails popping out and tentacles... who knew?!? Even the chapter titles made me laugh. The story just keeps getting more crazy and I'm here for it! If you are looking for a shorter, fun, smutty read with a mix of magic; this series is for you! I'm glad I stumbled upon these books and highly recommend.

After reading the first two, I was very happy to be offered a copy of this one.
I had mixed feelings about this story. It answered a couple of concerns that I had, but then created more questions… I do NOT want to spoil the story, but I was left asking, "Ummm, what now? And, how's that again?!" For the most part, this story was pretty great! I enjoyed reading Kai's story, I was happy to get a cameo from Juniper near the end. I loved getting a glimpse of what's going on with Astrid. But, things took a turn? I almost wonder if the author wasn't quite sure where to go with the plot, I guess. I still liked it, and I still want to read the next, but, "Why did that need to happen?!"

Salem Sinner does it again—Daddy Wolf: Accidentally Soul-Bonded & Honestly Not Okay!!
Its unhinged, hilarious, and filthier than a Lust Sigil gone wrong. Kai’s struggle between academic responsibility and his wolf’s feral instincts is equal parts comedy and chaos, and the soul-bond/polycule dynamics crank the heat off the charts.
If you loved the other two books in this series, this one doubles down on the smut, the banter, and the magical mayhem. It’s unapologetically kinky, wildly imaginative, and knows exactly what kind of ride it’s giving you. Not for the faint of heart—but perfect if you want your academy romance to be feral, funny, and filthy.

Oh, Sinner, my favourite deliverer of bonkers sex magic! This one is full of twisty spice and in some ways, crazier than the second. Hello tentacles scene, much?? Sinner shines when they go full unhinged smut, or lusty pining.
Sinner plays with a lot more textured romance and emotion in this one, but it didn't always hit the mark for me. Kai's storyline in general is less interesting to me than Pepper's or Astrid's. All the same, I'm excited for what 'comes' next!
The author provided this book for free. This is my deliciously earnest review.

Mind the tags! A detailed list is in Author's Note, as well as on the website so you can check before purchasing, which I found to be accurate and thorough. Highlights include (but are certainly not limited to) forced magical bonding and tentacles.

Calling this one poly porn with pinch of plot 🔥
What I love about this series is how fast and satisfying they are - you can finish each installment in an afternoon, and ready for more.

I liked this book, but just didn't connect with the characters as much as I did with the previous books of the series. I don't know why, I was truly excited to read our wolfish boy's love story, and the smut didn't disappoint.
I hope the next one brings me back to 5 stars, as it's a really fun premise. I just missed our 5 messy OG characters I guess

Somehow this book I even hotter that the first 2. Like the other books this one is still full of magic. In this book Kia is dealing with the aftermath of events in book two and being bound to 3 fae women is not was he was looking for however he learns that accepting oneself and losing control can be beautiful when done with the right people.

Some would call this erotica, but I'm calling porn plain and simple.
At least 3/4ths of this book is graphic descriptions of sexual acts of the paranormal variety. I'm not a prude or anything, as evidenced by my reading this series this far, but I got tired of it and skimmed quite a bit. As much as I would like to know more of Astrid's story, I don't think I'll continue with this series.

This is definitely an interesting book. I was honestly speechless and also laughing throughout the whole book. I definitely can't wait until the next one because the cliffhanger with this one was crazy and also made me mad.

Way better than five stars. Exciting detailed storyline. Action packed scenes. Characters were relatable. Their chemistry together was explosive. Many twists throughout the book to keep the story intriguing and a real page turner.

I had so much fun reading Daddy Wolf: Accidentally Soul-Bonded & Honestly Not Okay! I loved the soul-bond chaos, the emotional tension, and that perfectly grumpy/sweet dynamic. The paranormal vibes were great, and the characters? So easy to root for. I’ll definitely be reading the next one!

This little bit of spice was so much fun! Kai, and extremely straight laced werewolf who becomes bonded to the wild fae. Of course mayhem ensues before their love is understood and accepted. And let's not format the birth of lust entity! I am loving this series!

I have to say, I was not prepared for the whole roller coaster that was this book! It was surprisingly really nice and not all just steam. I liked how the characters were developed in this book and I like how their connections all played out. It was a pretty fun read!

I absolutely love the “daddy” romance vibe and with the fantasy and deep storyline it makes this series completely unique and absolutely amazing. Spicy isn’t even a good word to describe it. Love love love.

Why is it porn for other side characters when the 1st book was a our Astrid, Cruz & Ravish?
Why is everyone not being jealous or possessive except Cruz & Ravish?

There was so much depth to it; I could feel everything on these pages.
