Conri
He lost faith in love long ago. She’s about to turn his world upside down…
Alpha wolf Conri Valley isn't looking for a second chance at love—not after the betrayal that shattered his heart and nearly destroyed his pack. But when a feisty grocery store cashier named Cassidy Warmer storms into his life, ice cream in hand and fire in her eyes, fate gives him no choice.
Cassidy has enough on her plate—between a demanding family, a manipulative sister, and her father’s devastating diagnosis, she’s not about to fall for the charm of a powerful shifter. Especially one who’s convinced she’s his mate.
But destiny doesn’t wait for permission.
When old wounds reopen, and danger creeps close, Conri must decide if he’s ready to risk everything for the one woman he never saw coming. Because some wolves get one shot at forever—and Conri’s is standing right in front of him.
A heart-pounding tale of second chances, steamy chemistry, and a love that defies the past.

"Conri" is the first book in Kathi S. Barton's "Valley of Wolves" series. This review differs from my usual style.
The good: The storyline was interesting and kept me engaged. The characters were dynamic, featuring multiple points of view, and the world-building was relatable. Additionally, the theme of good versus evil plays a significant role in the book.
The bad: I have read most, if not all, of Ms. Barton's books. On several occasions, I’ve felt a sense of déjà vu while reading her new releases. In this case, there are too many similarities between this book and one from Ms. Barton's "Fosters" series to be coincidental. It seems to me that this is a rewrite with new characters and less magic.
That said, if you haven't read her previous series and enjoy paranormal romances, you will likely find this storyline entertaining.

Having read the Fosters, there are things the same and things that are different.
Less magic here than with the lions.
Conri & Cass are nice, as with his bros too.
The author's writing style hasn't changed much either
