Nano Wolves #2
Brandi
He says they’re mates. She says they’re done.
Agent Brandi Jenkins likes being a werewolf. It’s great to be stronger, smarter, and more sexual. It’s also great being part of family group for the first time in her solitary life. As the Nano Wolves beta, she must protect the other women in her tiny pack. She can't stop until she learns the truth about who funded the crazy scientist who made them.
Being a living science experiment is not easy, and it’s starting to shift her priorities. Sometimes the new awareness sucks too, like learning her former handler didn’t rescue her from Crazy Crane on purpose. Before she can leave her old job though, a new government apprehension group decides to blackmail her into working for them. She wants to kill a few backstabbers and leave for good, but she can’t. She has no choice except to take the freaking job. It’s the only way to save herself and her pack mates from becoming government pets.
What she can’t do though is ever forgive Gareth Longfeather. The deceptive, lying, manipulative Gray Wolf beta had almost convinced her he was a man she could love and trust. Gareth says they’re mates. She says they’re done.

Cam multă conspirație pentru gustul meu și speram ca volumul 2 să fie concentrat mai mult pe partea de știință.

I had eagerly awaited the sequel to the Nano Wolves series and wasn't disappointed. The story of Brandi made it all worthwhile. I'm now eager to know what happens next especially in respect of the children....no I'm not writing a spoiler review, or at least I hope not....Suffice to say, whether you just enjoy Donna's books in general or prefer this series, you won't be disappointed. Happy reading and I'm off to read the latest in the cyborg series, then I shall be completely up to date with Donna's books. Not a Sci-Fi fan, don't be put off as Donna's other series would more than satisfy....

Oh goodness. I think this one may be my favorite so far! I loved Brandi and Gareth's story. I know we have a bad guy who will show up again later on. The three little ones are great as well. I can't wait to see how things go for all of them. I am stoked to read Heidi's story! Another great job Donna!

We find that Randall Crane has not limited himself to Ariel, Brandi and Heidi, but also to other species and even children. There is a lot going on in this book and at first Brandi's abusive actions toward Gareth left me cold and disliking her. Granted she has a lot going on, but I think her basic character was showing through & i was afraid her mood swings were a sign of instability. She does get it together towards the center of the book and shows her more mature, loving nature there after.
My rating of "Brandi - Nano Wolves 2" is 4.25 out of 5 stars.

I like Brandi…
She is a focused FBI agent and decides to go back to her handler and job in an effort to discover who funded the lab where she was turned into a wolf.
She loves her wolf and feels very comfortable with Gareth, but she knows she won’t be able to rest till she knows the truth.
Imagine how she feels, when the first agent she sees is Travis, Reed’s grandson, then Gareth turns up, and she goes ballistic, then the boss of some division even her boss does not know turns out to be the brother of the scientist who experimented on her and her friends….
Very interesting times..
I liked the characters Fallon and Lars..
Also loved the fact she adopted three wolf children..
Dropping everything to read next instalment!

Bears and children make life complicated!
Brandi goes back to her agency and finds that she has been betrayed. She is transferred to another department and gets another shock when she finds that Gareth is her partner. Things get more and more complicated the more she learns her distrust of everything that she thought she knew grows.
This is a complicated story full of action with humour along the way too. It certainly fulfils the promise of the first book.

So good!
This second book in the series is just as good as the first! I normally don't buy books unless they're .99 but this is worth the money if you enjoyed the first one.
There is a dry humor that will keep you smiling! Danger, angst, and trouble abound as they find their way to being a family.
This is rated mature only!

Enjoyed the story
Loved this second installment of the story. Brandi finally found purpose for her life. She is helping people and got the love she did not know she was searching for.

Ok I'm officially in love with the three little wolves. They are something else, I'm so happy to read Brandi and Gareth's story and now on to Heidi and Ryan. I highly recommend this series, lots of action, romance, laughter and tears.

I don't understand why a potential mate would choose not to tell important past secrets that impact the relationship? Other than that this book has a lot of feels to process.

Brandi and Garreth's story is full of love, laughter, backstabbing underhandedness forthe right reasons . And we meet not one but two more possibly mad scientists !! What morecould you want from a paranormal romance? How about an instant family of 3 hybrid toddler wolves who have the thought capabilities of Nobel Prize winners . Yeah, Brandi and Garreth have their hands full and love it !! 4.5⭐'s for a great story . I received a gifted copy and am voluntarily choosing to leave an honest and unbiased review.

This is my first book by Donna. However, based on “Brandi” book 2, I'm certain I will go back for book1.
Donna has produced a well written story-line with a twist or two and a good plot. I really enjoyed reading this book.
Brandi suck out off bed to dress and leave before Gareth could stop her. Brandi was on her way back her agents job after a couple of months hiatus.
When Brandi made it into the office of her handler, Kane, she noticed how jumpy he was and he kept looking at the door. Kane told Brandi that as of now she would have a partner. Thant he was from the same organization just a different branch.
It wasn't until Travis Blackwolf walked through the door that Brandi knew she had been set up from the beginning. As soon as she and Travis walked outside the office Travis stabbed a syringe of tranq in her and she went down right onto his shoulder, all the while Kane was yelling for her.
When Brandi finally woke up she was strapped to a medical gurney and a scientist facing her. Getting ready to run tests and studies on her. When he looked away Brandi broke through the restraints and was fixing to take him out when Gareth walked in.
Brandi thought Gareth was there to save her but to her disillusionment he was a retired part of the organization that had taken her. When she heard those words Brandi cracked his head into the cement floor and he was out.
Brandi tried to slip out the door but there were two guards waiting there. They asked if Gareth was alright as they knew Brandi was his mate. Even at that she couldn't get away.

How can anyone not fall in love with this series! Brandi is leaving Alaska to go back to work but she is a little concerned and she really doesn't want to leave Gareth. Gareth knows that in his soul that Brandi is his mate but he has to get her to think like him, and when she leaves to go back to work he follows her. It's a good thing because her handler just gave her to the brother of the crazy scientist that changed her in the first place Sheldon Crane. Sheldon is running a lab to try and fix what his crazy brother started and when Brandi sees that his brother was changing children into wolves she is so mad. Sheldon strikes up a deal with Brandi but not before Gareth busts in, but He explains he needs her to stop his sister Diane who is creating bear crossbreeds. Gareth is telling Brandi it's a bad idea but she makes a deal with Shelton to stop his sister and in exchange she gets the three children. In the meantime Brandi is experiencing some nausea and her fangs keep extending and she is beginning to notice it around Gareth. Gareth loves Brandi but she doesn't know anything about love so she refuses to acknowledge it and when they finally head to Maine to stop Diane Gareth vows after this he will make her see reason. I have read both books and there is a promise for more and I for one can't wait.

Brandi: Nano Wolves 2 by Donna McDonald is an excellent continuation of the story of three kidnapped women. I enjoyed it even more than the first book in the series, Ariel, which is also quite good. I am not sure though that this is a stand-alone novel. While they are many references and information concerning how the women became shifters in Brandi’s story, I’m not sure that someone who had not read the first book would not have some confusion. However, the author clearly states this is the second in the series from the title, the reader would know to expect that very thing. So my suggestion is read them in order, paranormal romance fans will enjoy both.
Several reasons why I enjoy this book are the twists in the plot, and the characterization of Garth and Brandi. Ms. McDonald had several change ups in the story that kept me turning pages to see who exactly where the villains. There is political intrigue, mad scientists, gray areas for the good guys and growth in the characters as well as in their relationship. All of this is very well written. I do so hope that this paranormal series continues even after the third woman’s (Heidi) story. I can’t wait to read hers.

Kickass leading lady Brandi who is also a shape shifting wolf !!. Smooth as silk male wolf Gareth who rocks Brandi's world, but she carn't completely trust him......what doesn't sound cool about that !!!
This was the sequel to the Nano wolves: Ariel and it was awesome. Crazy scientists, children in peril (courtesy of the mad sibling scientists !!!) and one determined she wolf who wants to get to the bottom of it all.
Loads of twists, well paced, really enjoyable read. Looking forward t Heidi's story. Well done Donna and many thanks for this opportunity x

I'm not sure why I like this series so much but this, the second book, didn't disappoint.
Although I did prefer Ariel's story, that may have something to do with the tech/science stuff involved in book 1, I'm still enthralled by the Nano world. I did want to slap Brandi on a couple of occasions but by the end of the book she had grown on me!
On the whole page turner from the first to last page and the only negative I can think of is that Brandi's story's finished now and I will have to wait for book 3!!

I really enjoyed Ariel, the first book in the Nano Wolves series, so I knew I'd like Brandi. And I did, much more than Ariel! When I met Brandi in the first book, I don't think I cared for her too much. Tough talking and unemotional. Not a lot to really like. And Gareth, what's not to like! I spent most of Ariel and some of Brandi feeling bad for him getting stuck with Brandi. This time though, we get to meet the real Brandi. Thankfully! I couldn't put the book down. New characters are introduced and the end game becomes clearer. Can't wait for the next one!

wonderful story for the series

I was very happy with book one of this series. Book 2 provided a great new twist to the story of Brandi, the second female that was changed to a wolf shifter via scientific means. I enjoy how the story shows that the change also affected the character's personality as their wolf become stronger and more integrated. I am looking forward to reading more about Brandi and the wolf children that she adopted.

I loved this story, I found myself loving Brandi from the first book. I love both Ariel and Brandi, there was little enough character development for Hedi in these last two books. So looking forward to finding more about the submissive little wolf.
I am definitely hoping that there will be more than just the three books coming out.

The second book in The Nano Wolves series is Brandi and Gareth's adventure. Along with this exciting adventure, is relationship struggles, misconceptions, compassion, and passion. I think some readers will have a real connection with Brandi, her personal issues and how she deals with them. I loved the story and was so drawn in that I had read the entire book before I realized it. WOW!!!

Holy Alpha Hotness! I know Matt in book one was hot but I have to say I think Gareth Longfeather take it to a whole new level. This book had my attention from start to finish and I loved everything about it.
Brandi and Gareth are hot together, the story is fun and interesting and it is a good thing it was a rainy day outside because I couldn't put it down.

Great follow-up to Ariel
Brandi's story is,a great follow-up to Ariel's story in the first book of this series. Brand's struggle to accept Garth as her mate begin in the first book and continue through this one. The Crane siblings are certainly my idea of the mad scientists! I'm looking forward to Heidi's story to conclude this trilogy.

As the second book in this series I was really interested in learning more about Brandi and her past. I couldn't resist the laughs and the tears as I read along watching these two overcome such odds. This was a great sequel and great lead on to the next book in the series. This is a pleaser read with a great storyline that is unique and interesting.

Second book in the Nano Wolves series.
This is a much better story than the first book in the series. There was a lot less padding to the story.
The anger that the protagonist felt over another person doing the same thing that she did was very believable to me. I also enjoyed the antics of the children but felt their speech was too mature for four year olds.

Just as awesome as book one. Donna has done an amazing job of telling us such a engaging story. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Brandi was my favorite of the 3 nano wolves so I've been dying to read her story. This went above what I was expecting.

Lord have mercy
I have found another really really fun writer. This makes two writers that keeps me up and laughing day and night. Being an old soul there are many great writers but tongue in cheek is a hard to do on a constant basis.
