The Wolves of Blackpine #2
Restless Wolf
He's been running from his mate for six years. She's been running from herself even longer.
Lily Thornton came back to Blackpine to help her grandmother heal. She didn't expect to feel more trapped than ever—until Jace Mercer walks into her store and changes everything.
Jace knows three truths with absolute certainty. He's a wolf shifter. Lily is his fated mate. The last time he revealed his nature, the woman he loved screamed "monster" and threatened to expose his entire pack.
He chooses her anyway.
Every day Jace shows up at the store, helps with inventory, makes her grandmother laugh, walks away before the truth can escape. Every night Lily dreams of brown eyes that flash impossible gold. The pull between them defies logic, gravity, everything she understands about the world.
Her father forbids it. The town watches with knowing eyes. Strange things keep happening—rescue teams finding lost hikers in record time, massive wolves appearing at town edges, heat pouring off Jace's skin like he's burning from the inside out.
When Lily demands the truth, will Jace risk his shattered heart one more time? Claim your copy and fall in love with the Blackpine pack today.

No real highs, no real lows but kept me invested in the story.
Jace and Lily's story didn't excite it just was. The premise moved along and kept me vested in the story, but not much of a storyline other than the characters getting to know each other. Often I was looking for more and just not quite getting it. It's like they are just simply content to be with no real fanfare. I do question two things. After the claiming she still goes home to Grandma to sleep instead of staying with Jace. That conversation was not had and again I find that lacking from any other story I have read. I mean there is Grandma had a stroke, but she was recovering and there was never any real interaction for that purpose. The other thing I find truly lacking is the fact that people have seen wolves during rescues, mentioned more in the first story...why don't they just say they use wolves or large dogs etc for rescues. That wouldn't be uncommon in rescue and would account for some of the reaction speed. Just my thoughts. I will keep reading.

I was disappointed with this book, as it didn't really develop the story from book 1 other than to review a different character, with a similar storyline.
A lot of people have commented on the good writing style, but I must admit I found it quite difficult, and found myself skim reading to get to the next section. As shame as the original series concept was good. Book 3 appears to be more of the same so I have moved to alternative author.
As mentioned in my review of book one, I cant help but wonder if AI may have been used to assist with the speed of writing to bring books to press more quickly.

Different but beautiful read
Not a lot of action but a wonderful change from the typical shifter romance. A strong female character holding her own amongst a shifter pack and carving out her place in it. This is a different kind of love story but the writing is so beautiful it is worth the time to read it.

Wonderful story that flows from book to book. The characters are very thoughtful and real. The storyline behind the rescue team is good and has lots of potential for several books.
Highly recommend this series to every shifter lover book reader.

Restless Wolf
Fantastic book. It is action packed from the beginning to the very end. Exciting and mystery to go along with it.
