King Lake Shifters #1

Osiris: The Wolves

A steamy instalove paranormal romance featuring a protective wolf shifter and a romance-loving heroine who never believed she’d get her own happily ever after.

Working at a bookstore has taught Juliette all the tropes—meet-cutes, instant sparks, forever love. But she’s learned real life doesn’t work that way. Until one night in King Lake… and one unforgettable wolf.

Wolf shifter Osiris is the one who takes care of everyone else, making sure his pack is fed when things get busy at The Amber Howl. He’s spent years imagining what it would be like to have a mate of his own. The moment Juliette walks into the tavern and orders his burger of the week, he knows he’s finally found her.

But when the connection between them hits too hard, too fast, Juliette panics and runs—determined to protect her heart before it can be broken again. But Sigh is one wolf who isn’t about to let his mate go.

Because in King Lake, some loves aren’t just fast… they’re forever.

Fated mates. Protective wolves. Small-town shifters. Guaranteed HEA.

excellent easy read

I really enjoyed the non-stress of this book. Every once in a while you need a book that you can just read and enjoy and not get worked up over. And this is the book. The beginning of a new series and Juliette is about to be proven wrong about love at first sight. Osiris works in a bar and grill, in the kitchen. Appropriately called the Amber Howl. Why not?, it is run by wolf shifters.Osiris knew immediately when Juliette walked through the door, he was in the presence of his true mate. Their story is sweet, and leaves you wanting more. Juliette just needs to make things right with her best friend Cass, now that she has a mate. New things are in store for both Juliette and Cass.

Welp I just gobbled up this story in one short sitting!

Coffee, bookshop, and burgers! Yes please!

Yay a story where fmc already knows about shifters and there’s no issues with them!
MMC is such a sweetie and he can cook! He and his brothers moved away from their home pack to start their own. I’m excited for the brothers and their mates. I already have hopes for book 3 along with hoping for some more wolves to join and make their pack bigger and more stories. Time will tell!

Juliette, Osiris (Sigh)

This is a quick, good, well written, Shifter/Human romance. Juliet works at Willow & 2nd Books store and loves it. An ad pops up in her social media for a blue hamburger at a wolf shifter restaurant, The Amber Howl. She decides to try it even if she has to go alone. Once there, she is noticed by the cook, Sighand he knows she is his true mate. Read and learn how she first runs then realizes love at first sight is real.

I loved the start of this new series. Sigh and Juliette are drawn together by Blue cheese burgers. I totally get that. Juliette lets her nerves get the better of her after one encounter, but Fate knows what it's doing. I liked that Sigh is willing to let Juliette set the pace of their relationship.
Highly recommended author and series

Great start to a new series

She doesn't believe in love at first sight. She loves books. Juliette is happy but lonely. She receives a post on social media about a special buger. Sigh is a wolf shifter. He and his two brothers own a tavern. He has no idea his life is about to change with the burger of the week! Loved it. Sweet story!

Instalove/ shifters/ fated mates/ small town/ found family/ HEA

This was extremely low stakes and a good palette cleanser. Short, spicy, and entertaining.

I deducted a star because “Sigh” is a ridiculous nickname.

Too Young And Rosy For Me

It’s too young adult for me. There’s no real angst, no give and take. Just your my true mate. Let’s jump into it and HEA. I actually enjoyed the extra little bonuses more than the story.

It was ok but it needed 2 b a little longer and have some action in it. It was 2 basic 4 me. She went they met and that's basically it. I'm a little disappointed.

underwhelming prose

Third grade reading level writing. Makes you debate just writing your own books if this is what’s available, you know?

Easy, relaxed reading.

Not a literary classic, but absolutely entertaining and stress free reading. A simple story with a hint of raunchy and romance.
