Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn't able to save her mother or the alpha's son and she found herself exiled - a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even the man who has walked in her dreams for years.
Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn't recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it's the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life.
When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she's his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn't the alpha's second and enforcer because he isn't willing to fight for what's his, and he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate.
This is book two in the Black River Pack series. Each novella will feature a different couple.
I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.
When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"
I didn't really enjoy this one as much as I wanted to. Even knowing that Spencer pulled a pretty dick move with Eliza (he convinces himself that Eliza can't possibly be his fated mate - because she doesn't "walk in dreams" like his grandmother predicted - and belittles their relationship by keeping it strictly sexual) I'd hoped the story would go in a different direction.
After seeing Hunter and how sweet he was with Grace, I thought Spencer would go all out with Eliza to prove his love for her once it comes out that she can actually walk in dreams. I wanted to see Eliza grow a pair of lady balls and make Spencer work for her forgiveness. I mean she has known from day one that Spencer was her mate and she falls in love with the guy only to have him fight their mutual attraction and only give in when he straight up tells her she can only hope to be a convenient booty call because he is waiting for his real other half.
I don't really care that he technically throws her over for herself (even if he didn't know it at the time) it was still a stinging slap in the face that deserved some decent groveling from the H. And that's where this one fell short for me. Going in with eyes wide open to a character's flaws leaves me expecting some major changes and Spencer never really followed through. Likewise with Eliza, I wanted her to fight back a little bit and not give in so easily. Her acceptance of Spencer's treatment of her was a bit doormat h behavior.
Two stars for the still hot chemistry between the MCs and because I still found myself enjoying the tight knit Black River Pack and I'm intrigued by Patrick and his fated mate.
ARC provided by author in exchange for honest review
Shoot For The Moon was another amazing read from Rochelle Paige. I’m seriously hooked with the Black River Pack Series and can’t get enough of these Tate brothers. Though this book is short, Rochelle has managed to incorporate a story that will have you addicted to these characters. You will want to know who Hunter, Grace, Parker, Spencer and Eliza are. What I truly love about this series that I find addicting is the balance that Rochelle has done with the series. Ms. Paige did an exceptional job incorporating romance, drama, steam and a bit of angst to this series. One thing I love is that she always treats her readers with a hot alpha male. So if you are looking for a book that will have you begging for more of the Tate brothers, then look no further because Rochelle Paige did an amazing job with Shoot for the Moon. Hot alpha male hero...Check! Romance...Check! Lots of steam and chemistry...BIG FAT CHECK!!! And a story that will keep you entertained and captivated….CHECK CHECK CHECK!!! So go on and read Shoot for the Moon because Ms. Paige will not disappoint you.
As for the epilogue, I seriously can't wait for Parker's story and to find out who his mate is. Hopefully Rochelle Paige won't make us wait long for the next installment.
In essence, I preferred the plot outline in this one than Book 1. Because it had more angsty feels. However, the execution here felt more disorganised. RP appreciably still provided believable rationalisation for the characters' actions only it was unveiled in a wonky fashion. Also, the angst created in the first year of their relationship had very delicious feels but there was not enough showing - more would have been divine.
On a related note (but not central to the romance), I find it quite funny how for most of what has been shown, the gift of the h, Eliza, felt useless, more troublesome than worth. Basically, what she saw for Grace was her (happy) claiming ceremony mixed up confusingly with the idea of the potential danger she was in - not actual clues to the danger itself. And the vision that tormented her for years about her own mate, Spencer, ended up being a distorted view of what was real. I think the Fates have a weird sense of purpose in sending these visions 'wrongly' 🤷♀️.
That said, and even if the third act OW drama came out of the left field, it was quite entertaining how that pretend OW was put in her right place in front of everyone. It felt very satisfying for once that a public humiliation scene was so thoroughly thwarted with absolutely no leeway for any lingering nasty rumours.
I am still rounding the rating up because I like the little world building in this series, with very likeable characters.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Eliza and Spencer, both wolves but she has been hiding her ability to see the future.
This story can be a standalone because even though it starts in the previous book, it all gets rehashed here.
Spencer, for his own short sighted reasons, decided early on that Eliza was just a booty call. But in the 2 years they have been 'seeing' eachother, he hasn't been with anyone else. Before Eliza, he was changing his ways from a manho to awaiting his mate. Eliza has been through hell from her previous pack and is afraid to trust. So evem though she knows Spencer is her mate, she doesn't tell him and just accepts what he's willing to offer. Sounds like an angsty read, but it wasn't. There's a villain but most of the story is Eliza and Spencer coming to terms with being mates. Spencer, now that he's pulled his head out of his arse, is very supportive. They communicate and share their fears.
I enjoyed it more than the first book. Part of me wishes we'd gotten a glimpse of the beginning of their relationship or just a part of it before Spencer learns the truth. But maybe that would have made it harder to forgive him? -shrug-
safety is pretty good but, there is Eliza's vision hanging over them like the sword of damacles.
This one was just OK.. I liked the first one more and the mild bit of angst we got that the blurb hints at was hardly anything at all and just lasted a few pages.. If the book had been longer, if Eliza and Spencer had not already been sleeping together for a year when this book started, I think it would have been better. We did meet them in book 1 and knew they had already been sleeping together.. but when we met them in book one.. like this one.. they had already been sleeping together for a year.. so it lacked the excitement of reading a couple get together for the first time..
So as you all know this was my first wolf trilogy, I fell hook, line and howl.
We first meet Eliza in Crying Wolf, we also found out about her gift. A gift that she held close to her heart. Eliza Reve is a dream walker.
I’d learned to hide parts of myself from others-my mother had taught me well. The lesson was deeply ingrained from an early age that others wouldn’t understand the gift I’d been given. My grandmother had been ridiculed and ostracized when her pack had found out about her ability to walk in dreams.
She thinks her gift is a curse, when she isn’t able to save her mother or the alpha's son, finding herself exiled from the pack. She promised herself to never allow anyone to know her gift.
Then, one day, I wandered into Wolf’s Point. I didn’t mean to stay. It was only suppose to be another stopping place. But then I saw Spencer, and as much as my head told me to leave before anything happened between us, my heart and my wolf insisted I stay.
Spencer Tate is the enforcer of the his wolf tribe. He is also kind of a wolf whore, or he was till his grandmother sat him down and told him his mate is coming, and she is a dream walker. When he first sets his eyes on Eliza he feels a pull, but he knows she isn’t his mate. He just can’t walk away from her, so he purposes that they have a no-strings-attached affair till his mate comes to town. This is everything a girl wants to hear. I want to bang you till my one true love comes. Awww be still my heart… Just one problem she knows that he is her mate. She’s seen him for years, but it always ends the same way, in heartbreak.
I recognized him right away- the mate of my dreams. I’d dreamed of him for years, even before my mothers death. You’d think this would have been a wonderful thing, and the start of these dreams certainly was-right up until they always turn into a nightmare. It was horrifying to watch my mate as his face darkened with anger, his wolf glared from his eyes, and his lips twisted into a snarl, and then sorrow would crash over me in waves as he told me that I would never be his mate, I wasn’t worthy of him, and even though I’d shared his bed before, I never would again.
Eliza had my heart breaking, I felt every single time her heart broke. Oh Spencer, so blinded by lust, but when she finally lets slip that she is a dream walker, well his ass is grass.
“I get that you’re probably mad at me because I chose not to share my dream about Grace with you, but you need to understand one thing right now. It was my choice. Just because you’re the guy in my life giving me orgasms for now doesn’t mean you own me” Her words, which had so quickly followed my realization she was my fated mate, made me see red. I pressed against her until her back was against the front door, leaving no room for her to get away.
So now that Spencer has finally come to his senses, and realizes that the woman who has been sharing his bed for the last year is his mate, he is ready to seal the deal. Just one little problem, actually a big one, Eliza, you see this she wolf is not letting him off so easily, nope, he is going to bring out the big guns for this one.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and her scent filled my lungs. It was the same scent that had been driving me wild for years. And if I had been paying attention, I would have realized that her scent called to me like none other because she was my mate.
Ok Spencer it’s on, time to man up and make her your. It’s not going to be easy, but the reward is so much better once you know that you know that you can’t live without her, and you will fight fang and paw to get her. The reward will make you howl at the moon. I can’t wait for more.
I did not like Spencer at all. He was extremely creepy, controlling, and possessive, yet he was praised for his patience.
Eliza would stick to her guns for two minutes and then smarmy Spencer would come along and she’d melt.
Eliza has visions, and in them, she sees Spencer rejecting her as a mate. Despite the fact he has reassured her that she is his, Eliza keeps having these visions.
Well, when the blurb tells you another woman will claim to be Spencer’s mate and this other woman isn’t even introduced until the end? You don’t have to be a mathematician to add that up.
Honestly, the blurb spoiled the story because it ruined any tension that the book was trying to create.
I know this story was necessary to set up the next one, so it is redeemed solely based on the fact that I am excited for Parker’s story.
As soon as I saw that Rochelle Paige was writing this paranormal book I was like "OMG! I HAVE to read this!" and let me tell you that she did not disappoint! Shoot for the Moon was exactly the kind of paranormal read I needed right now. I knew it would be filled with heat, passion, and an extremely hot, possessive alpha male. I was not wrong and I absolutely loved it!!
Ever since Eliza was a little girl, she has been able to predict the future in her dreams and the one time she didn't hide her ability from her pack, she was exiled for it. She travels for awhile, settles into a new town and eventually into a new pack where her future mate happens to the the enforcer.
Eliza has been dreaming of Spencer for years and loves him more than anything, but her dreams and the man himself don't allow for a mating to happen right away. They have to go on a journey of love, trust, and acceptance before the claiming can take place.
I. Loved. Spencer! He's so hot and strong and dominant. He realizes what an a*shat he was for ignoring that Eliza was his mate and treating her like she was just someone to keep him occupied until his rightful mate came along. The human side of him eventually recognizes what his wolf already has: that Eliza is, in fact, his mate. As soon as that happens, he's determined to mate her, mark her, and claim her. While Spencer was all growly and possessive, he could be so incredibly sweet and he melted my heart. He was just such an awesome hero!!
Shoot for the Moon might be a very fast, short read and while it's mostly easy and I knew they were going to get their HEA, I still ached and worried about Eliza's dream coming true. I laughed and smiled a lot though. I just very much enjoyed and loved this book!! I also can't wait to read Parker's story, I absolutely ADORED him!
Shoot for the Moon is a standalone told from both the H/h's point of view and they do get their HEA. ~ Paige, 5 stars
Eliza Reve is cast from her pack in a cruel twist of fate, she loses her family also. Life has not been kinds to her. She also carries the secret of being able to see the future. A gift handed down in her family and one that her mother made her keep secret even from her father.
Settling into town she keeps to herself, though she does become part of the Black River Pack she holds her ability close, from her past she found that sharing that secret destroyed her. When she meets Spencer Tate the towns sherrif and the Alpha's enforcer she recognises him instantly. He's the man, the one she has dreamt of and her mate.
Spencer feels the pull to Eliza but he resists, he ignores his wolf and offers her a no strings affair. She can warm his bed but that's it. She accepts even though it is slowly killing her.
When her secret comes to light it's here that Spencer finally pulls his head out of ass and accepts what his Wolf has known all along. She is his other half, his mate.
A story that has you hooked from the get go. Full of surprises and you just can't stop reading. The continuity through out is second to none. Absolute adore this series.
Spencer Tate is the Enforcer for the Black River Pack and is waiting for his Dream walker mate to show up like his grandmother predicted, which is why he doesn't see what's right in front of him. He won't even acknowledge what his wolf is trying to tell him.
Eliza won't tell anyone about her special gift after being shunned by her own pack. One thing she does know for a fact is that the man that is using her body for booty calls is her mate. He's been in her dreams for years.
What will it take for Spencer to make up for all the hurt he has caused his mate for so long?
Shoot for the Moon is an interesting saying and the perfect title for Spencer and Eliza’s story, book 2 of Rochelle Paige’s Black River Pack series.
It takes a lot of courage and drive for people to put themselves out there and no holds barred go for what they want and what they deserve. It’s not an easy feat because there will undoubtedly be obstacles in the way, whether initiated by them themselves or others around them. Rejection is always possible and being let down is something that can always happen when sights are set a certain way, and there is a unwillingness to back down for anything less.
Eliza wants love and respect – she wants a mate who will stand by her and not judge her. She’s felt and been an outcast for much of her life due to her dreaming abilities, and she’s led a lonely life as a lone wolf. She knows Spencer’s her mate, but she refuses to acknowledge that knowing that he only sees her as someone to warm his bed at night.
Spencer’s always known that his mate is a woman who walks in dreams. Because he’s known his fate for some time, he becomes oblivious to the signs indicating that Eliza, the woman he feels an extraordinarily strong pull towards, could be the one he’s been searching for. He makes incredibly stupid mistakes when it comes to her and wastes a full year of their time together that could be spent solidifying their bonds as mates.
But don’t worry, ladies, Spencer more than makes up for time lost and does everything that he can to claim his mate and show Eliza that he may have messed up, but he’s fully invested now, and he won’t stop until he has everything that he wants.
Spencer and Eliza shot for the moon, and they actually achieved the outcome that they wanted. It definitely wasn’t easy to do, and they got in their own ways a lot of the time, but they both realized that anything worth having is worth fighting tooth and nail for and that is exactly what they did. It might have taken them a lot longer than it probably should have to take their fated places in each other’s lives, but Spencer and Eliza will not be taking each other for granted any longer, which is all anyone wants in a mate.
Rochelle Paige added another hot and angsty text to her paranormal series. Spencer is just as alpha as Hunter, and I love the fact that he owns up to his stupidity and proves to Eliza that he’s in it with her until the end. The concept of book 2 is quite different from Hunter and Grace’s story, which is exactly what I look for in a series. I love the fact that readers still get to hang out with their friends from previous books and get a fresh story that keeps the series thriving and that is exactly what Rochelle has done.
Bring on Parker’s story!
4.5 poison apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)
view - Shoot for the Moon by Rochelle Paige - 4 In The Dog House Stars
Shoot For the Moon follows on from the first book in the Black River Pack Crying Wolf, so at the beginning of the book we already know a couple of things:
a) Eliza is Spencer’s true mate b) Spencer has been an ass for the past twelve months telling Eliza that all they could ever share was a bed
Not the easiest place to claw your way back from then. Spencer may as well get himself a kennel he’s so far in the doghouse.
In his defence, Spencer has always been following his grandma’s prophesy that his mate will walk in dreams and to this point he’s had no reason to believe that this is Eliza. Not until a premonition about Grace being in danger draws Eliza out of hiding and into the open. Now he knows though, he’s got his work cut out for him in proving to Eliza that he believes and is all in, especially when Eliza keeps having a dream where he denounces her in front of the pack.
I felt sorry for Eliza - she’d had to deal with so much within her previous life, then she found her mate and he basically told her she wasn’t good enough, there was little wonder it took her a while to soften to the idea.
This was an entertaining little jaunt in terms of watching the interaction between the two of them. I enjoyed watching Spencer have to work for it. Not the sex, because they had always had that between the two of them but the bonding and claiming to tie the two together soul deep.
As always it was a hot and heavy little number, and thankfully not quite as sweet as book 1 (or I’m acclimatizing to it as I read them! ;))
If you love your Alpha’s all hot, possessive and a little bit feral, then get a bit of Spencer in your…..life.
I really enjoyed this one! And that ending...OMG...I can't wait for book 3!
3.5 stars So if you have read the first book then you know what happened between Eliza and Spencer. The book picks up right where it left off. Spencer just might have to fight to win Eliza over…
Spencer… Sigh. Okay so he made some not so good choices, but I still liked him. I will say that I did enjoy the book. I thought it was wicked to have Eliza walk in dreams. I have read a few books on about werewolves. Most of the stories had their own take on wolves. I also like how close the brothers are. Yes, usually brothers are close but sometimes that really isn’t the case. So unlike the other book, this really didn’t have a major plot twist. But for whatever reason I was actually ok with that. I also like that Eliza and Grace became so close. Especially after the life both of them have had. So what I did not like about the book. Well in Werewolves book I always got the assumption that they know as soon as they meet their mates. But my only problem was spencer not knowing that Eliza was his mate. That’s the only thing I really had a problem with. I did enjoy it. I mean I have never hated a book by Rochelle yet and I hope to keep it that way. You should defiantly read book one first. And I would not recommend these to anyone under 18. In true Rochelle fashion, they might have some really hot scenes.
So the ending of this book really make me want the final book in the series.
4.5 "She Was RIGHT There The Whole Damn Time" Stars
Long name...but great results! Full Review with Tour from T and I at http://www.twounrulygirls.com loving this series!!
Review Time
This book is different in the sense that you know they are mates...finding out during book one, there is no doubt that these two are bound to be...but the road to get there? It's paved with hot bodied sex, possessiveness, alpha instincts that make all us ladies squeeze our thighs and thank the heavens above for the written word done right.
Loving this series has been easy for me, Ms. Paige has nailed the short, yet still able to connect with characters stories that have me anxiously awaiting the next installment. This is not an easy task...shorter isn't always better (or is it ever??) You get the connection, background, and feelings from each character without being bogged down with too many details...just enough to keep you right in the "know".
Spencer and Eliza were meant to be, but sometimes when you are closed to the idea you can't see what is right in front of your DAMN face...sigh...Spencer! He more than makes up for it, and proves what we all knew from the start, these two were inevitable! Can't wait for book 3!
I love shifters and I love me some short books. Sometimes just the ease of a no drama story with a hot wolfy guy is the only thing you need when you are in a book slump. Something to get the mojo flowing and get back to the swing of reading and Rochelle sure does nail it in Spencer’s book. He is all mine, you’re my mate and dammit we are mating. YUM.
Spencer has been waiting for his mate the way most men do- playing the field and leaving heartbreak in the wake. When Eliza comes to town seeking solidarity what she finds is a family. Being alone most of her life she is hesitant to accept the pact life. Enter Spencer who is too focused on his grandmothers vision that he wouldn’t know his mate if she played tickle the pickle on his dickle- which she was. Spencer had some tough shoes to fill coming after Hunter. I couldn’t wait to find out how Spencer was going to make up for not knowing his mate was right in front of him- hell, even in his damn bed. I hoped like hell Eliza would make him work his ass off to make amends. If I had a complaint about these books I think it would be- I want more.
This is the second book in the Black River Pack series. Eliza Reve has the ability to see the future in her dreams, she is also a wolf shifter. Her Mother always told her it was a curse and to keep it a secret not even telling her own Father about it. Telling the Alpha of the pack she used to belong to about a vision she had caused her to be kicked out of the pack and shunned by everyone she knows. When she gets to Black River she is determined to live in the woods and keep to herself and definitely not share her ability with anyone. Spencer Tate is the Sheriff of Black River and also Beta (second in command) of their pack. His Grandma told him his mate would walk in dreams, meaning she would see visions of the future. For a year Spencer has casual sex with Eliza always being clear that he doesn't want a relationship. He has no clue that she is his mate because he's unaware of her gift and even though he's always had a strong pull towards her he kept brushing it off. Now that he's got his head out of his ass he has to figure out how to make things right between them.
Romance trope: shifter; rejected mate Series: Black River Pack/Fated Mates Length: 118 pages
Plot: Eliza has visions - dreams - and knows that she will find her mate but also that he will reject her. She also knows that her gift isn't always welcome, so she doesn't tell anyone in her new pack what she can do until she absolutely has to. Spencer knew that his mate would be a dreamwalker, but since Eliza never tells anyone she can do that, he believes she is not his mate. He can't help but to be drawn to her, but he lets her know that they don't have a future beyond casual dating. So when he finds out what she is, he has a lot of making up to do. She might accept him, but her visions of his rejection haven't gone away.
Commentary: I felt like both parties were at fault here. Eliza should have told Spencer about her gifts and what she saw and Spencer should have told her about what his grandmother predicted. They would have saved themselves a lot of heartache. But then there wouldn't have much of a story!
Breezed through this book as well and I liked it slightly better than the 1st book. Eliza is certainly more palatable than Grace (the 1st book heroine). I was a bit annoyed with how Ms Paige seemed to resolved both the H/h issues with the dream walker thing, plus the situation with the OW came out of out of left field. More could be done with the world building and character building but as long as it entertained me, I'm good to continue with this series.
I'm loving these books. Great story line, wonderful characters. I like the prophecy of the mates, and the strong bonds they build. Loyalty and love fills this story, along with struggles and stubbornness. On to the next.
I received this ARC for a honest review. Having read the first book, I was excited to continue this series.
Eliza is a dream walker and she feels as if she is always the bearer of bad news. Shunned by her previous pack, she ends up in Wolf's Point. She tries t stay out the way. The alpha of the local pack, takes her in and makes her feel welcome.
Spencer is second to the Alpha and the enforcer of the pack. He takes an interest in Eliza almost immediately but only wants a physical relationship with her.
When the two realize that they are mates, Eliza is hesitant to accept his mark..Can she trust him and tear down her walls?
This book was delicious from the beginning and the ending was well....Absolutely perfect.
5 huge stars!!
~~~~~~~~~~Sarah's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
Rochelle Paige did it again!!
I absolutely loved book 1 in this series. That being said you should definitely read Crying Wolf first as Spencer and Eliza's story begins there. They were secondary characters in the first book but I was so happy when Rochelle Paige made book two their story.
Spencer has been programmed since birth to look for his fated mate. As a werewolf he knows that he will find her there will be no doubt in his mind when he does. He meets Eliza and is immediately drawn to her but because she doesn't meet his criteria (at least so he thinks) he dismisses her as a potential mate and begins a friends with benefits type situation.
Eliza has a dark past with her previous pack and because of this keeps to herself when joining Spencer's pack. She hides a lot of herself from the pack and Spencer despite their year long relationship. It's only when she is forced to come clean that the truth comes out they Spencer is her mate.
I loved a good alpha male and Rochelle Paige sure knows how to write them. When Spencer realizes Eliza is his mate he wastes no time in mating her. Now the trick is he has to wait for Eliza to accept his mark. And he doesn't make waiting easy on her.
This story was hot hot hot! Spencer is a dirty talker and he talks a lot! Eliza had no idea what she was in for when she met him!
It was also nice to check in with Hunter and Grace from book 1 and see their HEA continue on.
I'm hoping that Parker (Spencer and Hunter's younger brother) has his story next!
Over all this book and this series are amazing! You would never guess this was Rochelle Paige's first attempt at paranormal. I cannot wait to continue reading the series and see where it goes!
~~~~~~~~~~Michelle's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
I am so in love with this series…….Eliza & Spencer are my new favs. Eliza is a loner by choice due to certain circumstances and Spencer doesn’t realize his mate is right in front of him.
I really enjoyed their story – this book had all fundamentals of a remarkable read…. torment, anticipation, and HOT, Alpha…fog up your screens…sex.
Paige does an outstanding job in creating characters you fall in love with. This book as a natural flow to it as if you watching your favorite movie. Her writing is phenomenal – it pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the very end.
Again…..I really wish the book was longer but that is my selfish reasons because I love this series sooooo much. Can’t wait for the next story….
Well done Rochelle Paige……I am forever a fan!
~~~~~~~~~~Sara's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
I was given an ARC for my honest review.
Yes Rochelle has made me a fan once again. I absolutely loved Crying wolf and I loved Shoot for the Moon even more. This book is about Eliza and Spencer. They are first introduced in Crying Wolf. These books should be read I order. This book as well kept me captivated. Rochelle writes so well that it is hard to put the book down. I recommend everybody read this. You don't know what you are missing.
★★★★★5-PANTY MELTING STARS★★★★★ *Copy provided by the author in exhanged for an honest review*
Loved the first book CRYING WOLF and the second as well. If you love paranormal romance then you should read this book. It was short smoking hot read, that I devoured in one sitting. Extra panties regard. Be prepared to howl and scream Spencer's name while reading this.
Eliza Reve has an ability to see the future in her dreams. It kills her to see what the future brings and to not be able to talk to anyone about it. Knowing they might think of her missing a few screws in the head and calling her crazy. She moved to a town where no one knew her. There she ends up working for the one and only bar, who happens to be owned by the hottest Alpha-Male she's ever known. But, set the feelings aside, she accepts the no strings attached with Spencer. Spending so much intimate time in each others arms for a year, turns it into something more she isn't ready for. The dream she's been having about Spencer is stopping her from taking the chance at real love. The nightmares scare her to give in to the man who pours his heart out to her.
Spencer Tate knew Eliza was someone special. He knew she was his mate, but was in denial, so instead he commits to a no strings attached agreement. And by doing just that, he regrets it as soon as someone knocked some sense into him. BUT when that time came, it back fired on him. Now, he must work harder to convince Eliza that he truly loves her. He regrets the time he wasted not professing his love. He is patient though, and want nothing but clarity on Eliza's end. He will do anything just to keep her safe and will fight for the love that will only come once in their lifetime.
Eliza and Spencer embark a new beginning, it becomes even more complicated when one of the women he slept with claims that Eliza isn't his mate. All it takes is fighting for her and seeing the love he truly feels for Eliza right in front of her, changes everything. BUT will the nightmare stops? The nightmares that intervene with her chance to be happy, finally? Being exiled from her family was horrible, she seeks love and acceptance from someone and Spencer is the man of her dreams. Will Eliza and Spencer be able to move forward with the mating? Will Eliza accept Spencer by marking her as his mate? Only one way to find out and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. This is something I'd love to read more than once. I can't wait for what you will be writing about Parker, Rochelle!
"Say yes, Let me have you, Eliza. Stop drinking yourself to sleep. Let me fuck you into exhaustion instead."
Shoot For The Moon is book two in Rochelle Paige's Black River Wolf Series. I am decently new to the whole world of paranormal romances but I am really enjoying these fast and sexy reads. I am a HUGE fan of alpha male books and I am finding that wolves are some very sexy alphas. While each of the books in this are short they still pack a punch bringing drama, love and lots of pure steam!
"Fine, Take some time, but you won't spend it apart from me. You might not be ready to move forward with me, but I sure as hell am not going to move us backwards. You'll do your thinking in the day and spend your nights with me."
Shoot For The Moon is Spencer and Eliza's story and it is very different than other wolf romances simply because Spencer and Eliza were sleeping together long before he realized that she was his mate. Spencer's grandmother had visions and she told him that his mate would "walk in dreams" meaning she could tell the future in her dreams. So, when Spencer meets Eliza he is very much drawn to her but is convinced she is not his mate because she does not posses this ability. He decides to start a purely physical relationship with her but lets her know that he is still looking for his mate. Eliza knows that Spencer is the one for her and even though she wants all of him she will take what she can get. What she doesn't tell Spencer is that she had to leave her old tribe because they didn't like her ability to tell the future through her dreams. YES! She hides this from him because she thinks it will scare him away.
"Need you," "You have me, I'm yours, Spencer." "Mine,"
After casting aside the thought that she could be his mate to her Spencer has to find a way to get Eliza to trust him so that he can claim her as his! I loved watching Spencer try to win over Eliza. You could tell he wanted nothing more than to throw her down and claim her but after hurting her so bad he has to go slow and be careful. This is clearly not the way of an alpha male and it was a lot of fun seeing him try to reel it all in. Overall, I am loving this series and can't wait for more!
