Highland Wolf Clan #3
New Beginnings
As the influx of Highlanders arrive in the US, Cameron’s brother Grant comes too. Intent on carrying out his brother’s bonding ritual, and returning home as quickly as possible. However, there are some surprises in store for Grant. Ones that are forever life changing, and which will test the very bonds of his friendship with one of his closest friends.
When Cam and Jinx find a young, lone, Panther Shifter in the forest, injured and facing up to an enraged bear, they do the only thing they can; they take on the bear to save the Panther. On finding out the youngster has no Pack, no family, Cam offers him a home and hopes he hasn’t made a mistake admitting a rogue Panther.
With Jacob finally getting his own bonding ritual, he feels as if he and Rebecca have passed the test of their blossoming relationship. That is, until disaster strikes and a new threat emerges; one he never envisaged.
Can the Highlanders integrate with the rest of the Pack? Will Grant accept his fate? And can Cameron keep everything together; including his multi-billion dollar enterprise?

Cam’s brother Grant arrives bringing the new pack members and to join in all the celebrations but finds a few surprises waiting for him as well as for a few others in this mesmerizing paranormal romance.
The reader can’t help but get drawn into all the happiness that is flowing from the pack as they begin to relax and to build their new pack with each of the couples celebrating their matings with lots of red hot passion. Grant adds some zing and mating excitement when he meets Shelley and gets quite the surprise and there is a considerable bit of emotional turmoil amongst this growing pack which adds lots of gravity to the story. The fast paced and smooth flowing plot captivates readers with lots of uncertainty, celebration and romance.
Overall, this story delights readers with lots of exciting happenings but of course there is tension to found and exhilaration that grabs the readers by the seat of their pants, especially when a bear and a panther get added to the mix and a new threat emerges, one that catches Jacob and Rebecca unaware. The well written scenes and details bring this story to life while the well composed events ensure that the reader gets lots of enjoyment with chuckles and passion.
Once again The Highland Wolf Clan bewitched me from the very beginning and I can’t wait to read the next one, especially after that heart stopping cliffhanger.

This is the 3rd book in this exciting series.
Cam and Chastity are on cloud nine as are Jacob and Rebecca, now all they need to do is have the Mating Ceremony.
Meanwhile, a bunch of Highland wolfs have arrived and it looks like Wild Flower Pack is on it's way to becoming a real knit together pack as should be. After all the evil they had to endure, they deserve some happiness. Cam's brother Grant is among them, when he found out that his big brother had found his true mate and settled in as Alpha, wild horses couldn't keep him away. Besides as an Alpha himself he was going to perform his brothers Mating Ceremony!
Problem is one of the bunch that just arrived found his one true mate among the Wild Flower Pack, will this be a problem, or will there be 3 mating ceremonies instead of 2?
There is still someone out there that doesn't agree with one of the mating's and has set sinister events in motion.
Can't wait to read book 4.
I was swept up in this book, it made me cry at one point out of excitement and the Highland dance really had me wooping.. Ms. Michaels describes it so well that I could actually see it in my minds eye.
LOVED IT!!!

REVIEW
Everyone is excited as more wolves will be joining the Wild Flower pack. They are highlander wolves who are giving up Scotland for the USA mountains. Cam the Alpha is shocked to learn his brother Grant is going to be among those coming. Although Grant is Alpha to his own pack he has come to offer his services to his brother. While there Grant smells and feels something he has never felt before. But that feeling will bring him heartache as it will hurt his best friend.
Everyone is gathering for a big feast, welcome party and bonding ceremonies that’s right not just 1 but 3.
Rebecca has offered help to Angela for her mate but will her mate Fergus accept that help?
The book leaves us one with big cliffhanger but aside from that this book was fantastic and flows very smoothly picking up where book 2 left us. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Weddings, bondings and handfastings, what do these have in common???
They are all names for the same ceremony. That of pledging your heart, body and soul to the one who completes you, makes you whole. As the Highland Wolf Clan prepares to celebrate a unique bonding ceremony, a triple bonding. Three couples, two involving Alpha males to their fated mates and one involving a private detective wolf who works mostly with Cam to a fiery witch who works with Cam quite often, gather to be bonded in the Wolf way. Who are these lucky ladies? Why are they sharing their special day with others? Why is there a fight before the ceremony even starts? What is Angel hiding from her mate? Will Fergie ever forgive her when the truth comes out? For the answers to these and more questions you will have to read this, the 3rd book in the exciting Highland Wolf Clan series. The writing is superb, the characters are well developed, believable and sympathetic and the storyline draws the reader even deeper into the world of this enticing wolfpack and the amazing people who fill it to overflowing. Highly recommended.

I had stepped away from this series for a while as I wasn't a fan of Cam at first. I picked up a book in a box set and decided to come back to read more in this series.
Wolves from Scotland and other packs are moving to join Cam to replenish numbers due to a brutal alpha.
Cam’s brother Grant arrives with the first batch of newcomers and finds his own mate but not without complications.
I love how there is so much going on all the time, good bad and downright nasty.
We have more than one couple finding each other. Also the fact we are getting a mix of connected packs stories blending together is wonderfully entertaining.
I hope Mac gets his soul mate soon.
This book ends with a real gripping action.

Cover/Title: The title is a good one as all of the characters seem to be starting over. I love the covers in this series. They are so beautifully done.
Characters: I love the new group of wolves added to the mix. Of course, the old ones are there as well.
Plot: The plot in this book didn't seem as deep as the last ones. There was a bit of fighting over a woman but not much else until the very last page. Of course, we have no idea what this new threat is.
Overall: I still love the series but I wish there had been more of a plot to this book. The first couple had so much fighting and drama that this one was a tiny bit of a letdown. I still can't wait to read the next book though.

Brilliant
Wendy better then I could have ever thought! It's all done. Still hard to believe that Cam has settled down with his wolf and mate! Playbook player no more! And Rebecca healing Fergie, I could so imagine Grant and cams dance moves lol, in my head. But what do you think got Rebecca? Her coven is what I think!

Ooohhh!!! Things are getting good and interesting. Really liking this series and the way the storylines are developing and the attachment to the characters I'm developing. I love it when I get invested in knowing more about a character. These are really great characters to like too.

Great follow up
I love the follow up to Cam'ś story. And seeing an extension to Grant's. I'm glad we haven't seen the last of him. The binding ceremony was exciting too. I'm a little disappointed in Angel & Fergie's story though.

The third book in the Highland Wolf Clan series "New Beginnings" is yet another astounding book by A K Michaels. I simply couldn't put it down. With no threat, this book felt different. No threats or fear. Only pure love.
As the Scottish pack fly to descend on their new land and merge with the old pack we would see new alliances. One of the characters we return to is Grant, Cams brother who comes to meet his big brothers new love, Chastity. See the woman who stole the domineering, business mans heart, who was certain in book one, pack life was not for him! Grant would be sure to find someone of his own in the old pack. Although this may be at the cost of someone else's happiness. But who could deny the calling of their bond? Their hearts would "beat as one" and it was literally meant to be.
Our main Alpha, Cam and Chastity would keep this story and the pack strong. Picking straight back up with their love for one another. Chastity would truly become the she-wolf Alpha. We would see three pairs including Cam and Alpha being formally bonded with their loves.
----------
Excerpt:
The love flowing between the couples was clear for everyone to witness and the Pack whooped, screamed and clapped...
-----------
The love and compassion in this book was just brilliant. And boy was the pre and post marital sex hot? Yes!! But brilliantly written. My heart filled with pride for all the new love forming with the new pairs as this pack was growing. Made for a happy start and many new beginnings for them all.
----------
Excerpt:
It's the strangest feeling ever. This is something I've avoided my entire life, like the plague, but now, right here and now...it's like a euphoria that I've never encountered before.
-------------
The other underlying story in the book was that of Fergie and Angel. With Fergie in a wheelchair would Angel be puting her own needs and desires of that of her mate? Rebecca who is skilled in healing would be person Angel would turn to, but would they do what was best for him?
------------
Excerpt:
She prayed feverently that he wouldn't be angry at her subterfuge. If he was it would kill her because the last thing she'd ever do was hurt the man she adored.
-------------
As with the two previous books I just couldn't put this down. But be warned it has the killer of all cliffhangers. I'm already anxious for book four but know that there is so much more still to read. What a brilliant third instalment of this incredible series. I can't praise this book enough. The entire series is a "must read".

Holy Haggis!!! Another stonking action packed episode in the Highland Wolf Clan Series, which just keeps getting better.
We pick up book 3 with Cam in a tizz trying to organise his mating to Chastity, Jinx and Stracey still in the throes of their own mating and Rebecca and Jacob...well she's still digging her heels in and driving him slightly nuts!
When Mac blabs about Cam finding his mate, Cam's brother Grant decides to come for a visit and arrives with the new influx of Highland wolves. Cam's uneasy and unsure what to ma of this family reunion, even though he loves his brother. When things go well, he relaxes slightly. However, all is not plain sailing, Fergie has a bee in his bunnet over something and Angel is keeping secrets!
We also get to meet more members of the Wild Flower Pack, including Shelly and Tink. There are hints at what these she-wolves were put through by Mallory and it was not pretty! There are some musical mates going on as one potential mating goes awry when a true mate turns up to spoil things unintentionally and old friendships are strained.
Ava smashes this one out of the park again. Fantastic story and weaved with a rich, imaginative (and occasionally very Scots) sense of humour and vocabulary. Another crop of wolves are added keeping everything fresh but with the main characters seamlessly holding it all together.
I may have developed a teeny tiny crush on Mason (shhhhhhhhhh don't tell Jacob).
Roll on part 4!!!

The storyline just gets better and better. The wolves from Scotland arrive and Cam is stressed to learn that his younger brother Grant is amongst them. Although he gets on with Grant, he is anxious that Grant may have brought their parents and he most definitely does not want to see his father! Whilst en route to the Wild Flower pack land to greet them, he becomes aware of a strange shifter on their land and he and Jinx go in search of the trespasser. After taking time out to fight with a bear, Cam, Jinx and the trespasser continue on their journey to meet Grant and the new wolves. During the welcome party, Mac turns to his old friend Grant for advice on whether or not Shelly could be his mate and despite the good advice that Grant gives Mac, things don't go to plan and someone ends up with a broken heart. Logan is slowly getting closer to Tina and unlike Mac, he knows for sure that Tina is his true mate and because of that, he is happy to give her all the time she needs to heal from the abusive treatment she received at the hands of the previous Alpha.
As with the previous books in the series, there is an unexpected pairing and I'm keen to find out what happens to Ryder. But if we're expecting a happy ending, the author nips that in the bud when Jacob's mate Rebecca does a good turn for Angel and is rewarded by being abducted. The book ends with the abduction happening when Rebecca is on her way back to her cabin and Jacob doesn't yet know that she's missing.....

I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review
If you haven't read the Highland Wolf Clan Series, then stop right here. You need to start with book 1.
This series is amazing. One of the best shifter series I have ever read!
This book picks up where 2 ends. Now Cam’s brother Grant (Alpha of Highland Pack) is coming to meet
Chastity and perform the bonding ceremony. He will be bringing 15 wolves with him, the ones coming to help populate Chastity’s old Pack. They will be assisting in all manner of ways.
On their way to meet up with Grant and the rest of the Highland wolves, they scent a new smell in the forest. Jinx and Cam find a young panther shifter that had been kicked out of his pack years ago for not being wolf.
Romance is in the air in this book. Matches are made and a prophecy is coming true with one of them.
So far in this series, this book has the best scene. It is when Cam and Grant dance the wedding dance in tandem over burning logs. The writing is so vivid, there is no reason to close your eyes to imagine. You can see it clearly in front of you.
If you have ever read one of A.K. Michaels books, then you would know that there is always danger involved. These are not cutesy little love stories. They are full of suspense. The kind that keeps you guessing.
I do have to give you a warning, it ends on a cliffhanger…

* Gifted by the author in exchange for an honest review *
This is a fast paced series with a lovely mix of Gaelic/Scottish lore mixed in with Shifter lore, and it gives you a wealth of mystery and additional dimension to the story.
#3 continues from book 2 with the newly mated couples getting to know each other and preparing for their Mating Ceremonies.
Ava has a way with words, and can write a HAWT love scene, and there is plenty of steamy scenes in this book.
The new pack members that arrive from Scotland to bring more strength to the decimated pack, and due to the upcoming nuptials we get to meet Cam's Brother again.
The writing is fast, flowing and you will get lost in the upcoming preparations, and of course Passionate moments! The book isn't as brutal as with the last couple of books, but just when you are relaxing - Ava will hit you with a twist...
An unexpected guest has me interested and I hope we get to know more about him in the next book, which I sincerely hope is out soon... Yep she garnered the "Noooooooo, Ava how could you!!!" response when I got to the last page~ Cliffhanger warning!!! The beginning of Book 4 is sure to be explosive!

Cam is settling into his role as Alpha and looking forward to his mating to Chasity....
Grant has gotten wind of his brother finding his mate and arrives with the new wolves. He is curious to meet the she wolf that has captured his brothers heart and wants to preform the mating ceremony. Lets just say that he is in for a surprise....
The pack is finally starting to rebuild after all the trouble with Mallory and Philippe. Everyone is in good spirits and there is a lot of love in the air. The new arrivals seem to fit right in, as if they have always been there...
..................................
Still there are lots of plot twists that will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. Well I was jumping up and down in mine. Not to mention an epic cliffhanger that will leave you shouting at your kindle lol ;)
New Beginnings Book 3 is yet another fantastic addition to the series. A.K. Michaels is an amazing author and I could live in her books. I can't get enough of the Highland Wolf Clan and I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOK 4 !!!!

The story begins with the newly mated characters from book #2 enjoying their new partnership and eagerly awaiting their bonding ceremony. Cam's brother Grant arrives to perform the ceremony for Cam and Chastity, and senses happiness for himself, but will he take it? We also get to meet a new character, a young panther shifter, who is discovered in the forest and invited to stay with the clan, I anticipate a story including him in the future. And then disaster strikes, and everything doesn't work out as planned for everyone. Can they now hold it together as a clan?
There's a great character study in this book, I really like them all, the closeness of the clan makes them seem like a family. The storyline leads to suspense, there's lot's of steamy, hot loving from the frisky wolf clan and Angel has a surprise for Fergie which we'll have to wait for book #4 for the out come of that one.
I just love the Highland Wolf Clan. 5/5

AVA MICHAELS ...HAS CONTINUED WITH ANOTHER GREAT PART OF THIS SERIES.., May 16, 2015
I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK FOR AN HONEST REVIEW AND THIS IS MY HONEST OPINION.....OVER 18 READING
LETS START WITH I CAN'T WAIT FOR # 4, YESTERDAY WOULD NOT ME SOON ENOUGH. I'm glad things have worked out, to a interesting point for the Highlanders in the US. Though what a cliffhanger,but I'm betting on a perfect way to solve one time problem that I think will not evade Cam's character , and will also solve a problem someone else may think they have.My I LOVE a storyline that makes me think, it is so much more enjoyable. I must admit that I think I would be like these American women ,I'd love hearing the Scots talk. And I love how she works their words and sayings into this series, makes it seem so real.If you love Scots, werewolves,witches she even shows acceptance of others and help to the ones who need it THEN YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS.

I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author AK Michaels. This is book 3 of the Highland Wolf Clan books.
Cam and Chastity are going to be mated along with Jacob and Rebecca. When Cams brother comes along with 15 wolves to relocate to a new pack Grant is taken back by the scent of his mate. Shelly and Grant share something special. Angel enlist the aid of Rebecca to find out if Fergie can be healed but something goes wrong after she uses her power on him.
The story line flow was really well done. The author made the characters seem like they were real live people and living next door. The book was very well written with action and drama thrown into the romance.
This book is for any mature paranormal romance book lover who likes a little more action in their books. This part starts off where part 2 leaves off so it is best to read them in order. This book is for mature readers because of sexual content.

New Beginnings picks up right where The Alpha Decides ends. Both Packs are excited about the arrival of some new blood from Scotland, the bonding ceremony of their Alpha, Cam, but most of all they are excited to finally get back into REAL Pack life, something which was taken from them under the tyranny of Philippe and his guards and more recently Mallory. AK Michaels has continued this series flawlessly, keeping all the things I loved about the first 2 books but still giving book 3 it's own unique hook.
The wolves are still pairing off left right and centre, love is definitely still in the air so much so that there isn't only one bonding ceremony but THREE!!! ;)
New Beginnings ends with a cliffhanger that has left me gob smacked! I just NEED book 4 now!! I'm so hooked on this series, these characters... Just all of it! Another incredible book in a phenomenal series! Thank you Ava!!

With the threat to the packs gone, Cam and Chastity are free to concentrate on their love and the growth of the packs. They are planning their bonding ceremony, as are Jacob and feisty Rebecca. Along with the new arrivals from Scotland, Cam's brother, Grant, has decided to come and perform the bonding ceremony. Never does he ever suspect, his own will be included with the other two. Cam shows his huge heart, once again, by taking in a lone, lost panther shifter youth and accepting him into the pack, if he wants to be there. In Highland Wolf 3, feelings are exposed; the can I, should I, and how can I not conflicting feelings of new love and commitment. The joy of celebrating and sharing their good fortune, the Scottish way, which is mighty fine and would be a treat to see. The lengths you will go to to help your mate. Not wanting to give too much away here, I am only going to say the ending is a stunner. Can't wait for No. 4.

Thoroughly enjoyable read! Just when everything starts settling back down for Cam and his new Pack the plane full of Highland wolves arrives. With that many sexy dominant male wolves around there is bound to be some issues. And that's before any of the bonding ceremonies even take place!
This book was a little lighter than the previous two focusing on getting the packs settled and completing all the bonding ceremonies for the newly mated wolves. There was still some drama but it was a nice break from the darker issues in the other books. The story also branched out to incorporate the other characters a little more which I really liked. The new additions from the Highland pack were also a fun treat. But just when I thought everything was wrapping up nicely I was completely blindsided by that ending! From the looks of things book 4 is going to be intense and I cant wait to see what happens! In my opinion Highland Wolf Clan: New Beginnings is definitely recommended.

The author has us in her grasp again. The characters seem so real, you can see them in your minds eye. As for the alphas dance, whoooo, that was awesome to read, and I could 'see' them doing that dance, it is an adaptation of the sword dance usually done with razor sharp swords, but burning logs will do just nicely, it gives it even more of an air of danger! The influx of new blood from the Highland clan in Scotland has caused an outflow of wolves finding mates, having ceremonies. There must be something in the air in the USA area they are in! The has once gain written a story that has you reading as fast as you can, just to find out what happens next, and as usual, she has left us hanging on a cliff again!!! Now I can't wait for number 4!!. This is a MUST read, as are the two previous books!

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and this one didn't disappoint either.
The characters feel like old friends and even tho we have the introduction of new blood to the pack with the arrival of more highland wolves, they too already feel like family.
This Author writes so well that you can't help but feel every emotion, their joy, their fear, their anguish, like its your own.
There are some unexpected twists that elicited a shocked response of "Noooooooo, Ava how could you !!!!" From me.
As for the ending, well, I wouldn't want to be in the firing line of that specific wolf
By the end of this book I felt like I was part of the pack ...... Now all I need is to find ME some of that wolfie hotness of my own, (sighs)

Everything is finally going right for Cam and his new pack, with a mate by his side one that he never expected things are great.
In this addition to the series we get a glimpse of all the new couples either enjoying bonded life or prepairing for their mating cermony.
Cam has mellowed out allot since this series has started and is now happy with being mated.
Jacob didn't expect it, but he's never been happier new that he's found his little witch.
No this isn't the end to the series in case you're wondering and while many have found happiness there are still more unmated characters in this story as well as plenty of twists to keep you guessing as to what will happen next.
Even more excited than ever to see the next installment to this series coming out soon.

Cam is settling in as the new Alpha, and looking forward to being bonded to his true mate Chastity. The wolves from his brother's Highland pack, that want to relocate will be there soon. He was not expecting his brother to come as well.
Grant came to meet Cam's mate, and visit the place that will claim so many of his Clan. He finds much more than he ever dreamed of.
Love is definitely still in the air. The Alpha dance was described so well I could see it. With lots of new characters coming in, I can see there is much more to come from this series. Add to that the teaser at the end, and I can't wait for the next book.

This is the third book in the Highland Wolf Clan series. I have loved this story so far and with Cam finding his mate in the last installment I could not wait for this one to come out. I was intrigued with the relationship between Cam and his brother Grant, and happy to see that although it seemed tense at first they really got along great. I loved the triple bonding ceremony for Cam, Grant & Jacob and their mates. The best scene in the book has to be when Grant and Cam do their dance at the mating ceremony! I have already gotten the next two books in the series and will be jumping on them as soon as I can get an extra moment!
