King Lake Shifters #3
Darrin: The Wolves
A steamy instalove paranormal romance featuring a protective alpha wolf shifter, a human heroine taking one last chance on love, and a dating app match that turns into forever.
Alpha wolf Darrin “Dare” has watched his brothers find their truemates with human women, and he wants that same future for himself. But after one bad dating app match after another, he’s ready to give up – until his pack convinces him to try one last time. His final swipe right brings Audrey into his life.
Audrey has had her share of bad dates, but something about Dare feels different from the moment they meet. He’s protective and dreamy, and everything she ever wanted in her forever-guy. Even though their feelings hit hard and fast, there’s no denying the truth: she’s a wolf’s truemate.
But when a female wolf from Dare’s past arrives in King Lake, convinced she has a claim on the alpha’s future, Audrey wonders if a human woman can truly be enough for him. Dare knows Audrey is his truemate but now he has to prove that nothing from his old life can touch what fate gave them.
Because in King Lake, when fate chooses a mate… the past doesn’t get a say.
Fated mates. Alpha wolf hero. Human heroine. One last chance at love. Past rival. Guaranteed HEA.

It needs 2 b a little longer. It feels unfinished. I don't feel like that lady in his past just leaves 4 good again. It feels like there's something going 2 happened then just stops 2 me. Earrings book is better than the 1st 2 I think cause it had a little bit of drama 2 fight 4 what they believe and what they want instead of just finding a mate and that's pretty much it just 2 convince them it's true how they r feeling. Darrin is the alpha of his 2 brothers but they help each other. Can Earrings mate stand up 2 another wolf since she's only human or will she just give up everything and move on? It was good.

Audrey and Dare (Darrin)
This is a quick, very good, well written, wolf shifter/human romance. Audrey works in the office at the elementary school. She has been trying to get a good date from an app. Dare as the alpha of his pack and bartender for the Amber Howl has also been using an app to find his mate. His last attempt was a bust as she just wanted to bed a wolf. His brothers and their mate encouraging to try one more time. He is matched to Audrey and asked her to come to the Amber Howl for a date. Read and enjoy their romance and a potential problem from his past.

So good. A bar, a burger, and a fated mate. You can’t get better than that. This book brings Audrey a school teacher, and dare the alpha of the small Wolfpack together. Their story is short and sweet with a little bit of drama. I love that all three brothers are in all three books along with their mate. It definitely has the happily ever after I crave. I always kind of hope there’s a pregnancy or a baby at the end but it’s not to be. You will definitely enjoy the book, but I do suggest reading the first two in this trilogy of wolves that live in King Lake.

Excellent Read and Series
I’m so enjoying this author. This book is fantastic. The series is excellent. So much fun. All the feels throughout this book. I keep hoping that Cassidy’s sister Lauren gets her HEA, especially after what she experienced with her former husband. She deserves a great life as we all do. I suggest you snuggle in and start reading this series and this book. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

This whole series was perfect for the beach or a rainy weekend.
Darrin is the last of his brothers to find their true mate. One last try on the dating app brings him Audrey. She's a little unsure whether she can fit into his world, and Dare's Ex doesn't help matters. Dare's reassurances only go so far until Audrey chooses to take her rightful place.
Highly recommended author and series

Loved it!
I love how the pack is expanding, one mate at a time.
The story is sweet with a little sour mixed in. The bonus stories are awesome! 👍
Can't wait for the Bears turn.

I liked that this story had a little different dilemma than the previous two books. Still short and sweet so it's a quick read.
