Chris

Pecan Pines #10

by Fel Fern, Kara Kitt

When wolf shifter Chris is offered his first real mission as an enforcer trainee, he jumps at the chance to prove he belongs in the Pecan Pines Pack. After growing up isolated and packless in the mountains, he’ll do anything to protect the community that finally feels like home. But Chris never expected his assignment to involve going undercover at the annual regional dog show… or posing as someone’s mate.

Especially not Jaime.

Stoic, guarded, and impossible to read, Jaime is the last wolf Chris expects to be partnered with. Chris has tried to be friendly. Okay, maybe even flirt, but Jaime meets him with nothing but cool professionalism. Until their cover requires them to act like a devoted couple… and something in Chris’s wolf stirs with a pull he can’t deny.

Two shifters have already had their dogs mysteriously poisoned, and someone may be targeting shifter handlers to tear apart the fragile peace between humans and paranormals. Chris and Jaime must work together, share close quarters, and pretend to be bonded while tracking a dangerous saboteur.

But the longer they stay “fake mated,” the harder it becomes to ignore the

Sometimes fate doesn’t whisper. Sometimes it shoves two wolves straight into each other’s arms.

Chris is book 10 of the Pecan Pines series.

This is book ten in the Pecan Pines series. Each book is a standalone read focusing a different couple. This is the story of Chris and Jaime. Both are wolf shifters and members of Pecan Pines. Chris is currently an enforcer trainee and eager to prove the he belongs with the Pecan Pines pack. Jaime is an experienced animal behaviorist and trainer. When a problem arises with the local dog show. Two shifters have already had their dogs mysteriously poisoned. So the alpha of the pack decides to substitute Chris and Jaime for the shifter couple that was signed up to compete. They will be going undercover and posing as mates. This is their story. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and easy to read. I liked watching how Christ and Jaime slowly learned to trust each other and support each other. Another book to enjoy in this series. I look forward to the next book in the series.

I absolutely loved reading this book. Jaime and Chris were both great characters. Jaime was closed off because of how he was treated by his previous pack and Chris was finally allowed to prove himself as an enforcer for his new pack after growing up feral in his words. They are both assigned to undercover who was causing problems at the dog shows. They both faced danger, but also personal growth together and learning that they were designed by fate to be partners for life. They do have a HEA.

Fantastic addition to the series!

Chris and Jaime had a beautiful spark especially, when Jaime’s walls came down. These two were complete opposites: where one was care free, easy going and a people’s person whereas, the other was more guarded.

A mission brings them together but the rest is up to them.

I adored Chris and Jaime and was rooting for them every step of the way.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I liked this investigation into the dog show that revealed so much more than someone willing to harm the dogs. The culprits were caught. Along the way Chris and Jaime fell in love. I liked how both were going to work in the K9 unit.
