Once upon a time N.J. had the idea that she would like to quit her job at the bookstore, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown, and write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did. Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and settled in for another seven years.
One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first erotic romance novel and life would never be the same.
N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
Wolf on a Mission is book six in the Salvation Pack series by N.J. Walters. Even if you have not read any of the other books in the Salvation Pack series you are good. Wolf on a Mission can be read as a standalone!
First, I must say I've had the Salvation Pack series on my radar for sometime now and I've been wanting to give it a go. I am glad I picked Wolf on a Mission up. I’m hooked and plan on picking up the rest of the books in this series just to get the full adventure and to enjoy the other mates featured. The author did an unbelievable job setting up the plot, world, and characters.
Wolf on a Mission is a riveting read that had me captivated from the very first page to the last. The author does an amazing job pulling the reader into the characters, their struggles, and getting you emotionally involved in their trills and tribulations. Both our hero and heroine have been dealt a few hard hands, but they both are fighters and they both have something to fight for.
Elias our hero and full-blooded wolf is so sweet, caring, and protective of his family. Him and his nephews captured my heart the moment they showed up on the pages.
Sue our heroine and human is strong, independent, and protective of her son. She has had a lot to deal with in her life. It's been one battle after another, but she must and has stayed strong for her son.
Elias and Sue where a fantastic couple to read about. Watching theses two characters develop, fall in love, and protect those they see as family and friends was great. When they do find adult time, those moments are sensual and steamy.
Saga and Reece, Elias nephews where adorable, unique, and different in their own way. It was so sweet watching them show such compassion and even though their teens you can see they're just going to be amazing men. I can't wait to see how they will develop and where their story goes.
Wolf on a Mission is one dramatic, heartfelt, and sensual read. For those that love paranormal romance and sexy alpha werewolves, you should give this book and the series a try.

Thanks for this ARC from NetGalley/Publisher for a fair and honest review. This is book six in the "Salvation Pack" series. I have been jumping around in the series so I would easily say this is a standalone book. Elias Gallagher is traveling to Salvation Pack Compound with his two 'half-breed' nephews. Back in their home town 'half-breed' wolves/man are sometimes killed. Elias has heard that this Salvation Pack are said to be friends to all half-breed wolves. When they get to North Carolina area by the Salvation Pack Elias and his nephews camp out. There they meet Sue Walsh who is 100% human and has a young son. Sue too has had a hard time of it and feels an instant bond with Elias and the nephews. Elias and his 'wolf' are quickly drawn to Sue and it is hard for him to fight his attraction. But they both are fighting their own personal battles while trying to deal with their feelings.
Elias is desperately trying to find a new home for him and his half-breed nephews after the death of his brother. He's heard Salvation has a pack that is different than the others and has a hope of acceptance within their pack. Sue has been through quite a bit of heartache and loss and is struggling to stay afloat while raising a five-year-old son. A chance meeting between Elias and Sue sparks something between them that they never thought they would ever have. There are complications the least of which she's human and he isn't. They both want to protect their families, but love can't be denied.
Love, love, love this series! Excellent characters and storytelling keep everything fresh and exciting. Sue is a previous character in the series and I'm happy to see her make a comeback. She's sweet and caring and his the cutest little boy in Billy. Life hasn't been kind to her and now her ex is making things difficult for her. Ugh! Now to Elias...Me. Want. Him. So sweet, so caring, and taking on the responsibilities of raising his two nephews. Lordy, who doesn't want a man like that! They both have family obligations that pull them to do what is right yet they can't deny the attraction they feel. Things certainly heat up when they give into their primal needs. Of course, Elias has a fairly big secret he's keeping from her which seems to be the big focus of why he knows they shouldn't be together. And since we KNOW there has to be an HEA I will say yes there is one, but the journey they take to get there, mums the word.
Now for all the secondary characters. The most were major players in previous titles so it was great to see them again. That is probably what makes this one of my can't-wait-to-read series. The previous characters just don't fade away, they have important positions within the series and keep adding to it. However, there are two new ones: twins Sage and Reece. Half-breeds in a world where half-breeds are killed by other full shifters. I see a story in their futures and can't wait to see what becomes of them.
I've been following the Salvation Pack for a while now and after the last book, I was really wondering how Ms. Walters was going to keep this series going. Ah...now it makes sense: A previous secondary character. Very nice way to continue the series, and in the process, introduce a few new characters that will keep the series going. Not complaining here, in fact, I'm over the moon knowing there will be future books. This is series very much worth the read. As for the author, I'm already eyeballing a few of her other series to devour. N.J. Walters has my stamp of approval.
I received this book from the JeepDiva for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine. Stars - 4, Flames - 3
I am so happy Sue got her HEA! I always felt a little off that Anny had leave her BFF in the dark and behind when she became part of the pack. Anny and Sue were closer than sisters and it all just……stopped. Sue and Billy were such engaging characters, how could you not want what was best for them? We get to know them all the better here and Elias is so perfect for them both. Elias is strong, supportive, caring, huge sense of family, and utterly protective. Sage and Reece are bonuses for both Billy and Sue, and these five create such a loving, warm, and fun family, it helps sooth all the heartaches they have experienced up to this point. So happy that the pack has grown and still stayed as close at it always was <3
J'ai beaucoup aimé Elias et Sue, j'ai trouvé leurs hésitations crédibles, et leurs interactions avec les enfants sont vraiment réalistes et bien faites. Mon préféré de la série ! Avis complet https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This book really had my heart...all of it. In this book we really get to see the after math of a friend and her son left behind and two teenage half breed teenagers. These boys definitely had all my heart for sure.
Sage and Reece are teenage half breed werewolves that lost their loving parents to a tragic car accident. Their uncle is taking care of them and trying to find a good pack to take them in and not kill them. His first choice is the Salvation pack...the best and only choice in my opinion.
He and the boys are camping in the woods by Anny's house, where Sue, her former best friend is staying with her son. Her soon sees the twin that can shift in wolf form and goes to him. And that's how they all meet. The twins are so good with Sue's son Billy, they are great boys. Sue's had it really hard since Anny had to leave her, both her parents, that she lived with, died and now her ex-husband and shitty father wants custody of Billy to try and get his trust money...wtf.
In this book we really get to see the pack stick together and their roles. Jacque and his dry humor is thoroughly entertaining. They all were very fascinated with the twins and the fact they were not full werewolves, but one could shift. Elias and the twins protect Sue and Billy when she comes to pack land to worn them about the obnoxious hunters. Even though Sue and Billy are fully human, the pack accepts them as part of Elias and the twins.
Elias and Sue are so sweet with each other and it's just another aspect of the book that pulls at my heartstrings. Damn I love this series.
In the 6th part of the Salvation Pack, Elias Gallagher is in search of the salvation pack hoping that him and his twin halfbreed nephews will find a home. Sue single mother raising her son Billie and ex best friend s friend of Anny, meet Elias. Attraction is fast and Elias knows she’s it for him. NJ Walters once again writes a great story
I took a risk selecting Wolf on a Mission. It is book six in the Salvation Pack series and N.J. Walters is a completely new-to-me author. My gamble paid off in this case as I found the book to be a good point of entry for a new reader and I liked the world created for the characters.
Wolf packs are isolationist by nature and protective of their members, yet they can be very cruel to those born slightly different. Elias Gallagher and his brother Everett left their Alaskan family seventeen years earlier when Everett fell in love with a half-breed woman and started a family. The years away from a pack were difficult for the brothers but they had each other to rely on. Everything changed for Elias when Everett and his wife were killed in an accident and he was left to raise his twin nephews. The boys’ hybrid nature would instantly mark them for death if they returned to Alaska, so Elias sells everything to seek out the rumored Salvation Pack in rural North Carolina.
I received a copy of Wolf on a Mission (Salvation Pack #6) by N.J. Walters in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't sure how N.J. Walters was going to continue with the Salvation Pack after the last book. Never fear though, This book is Amazing! I adore Wolf on a Mission and I am so happy we get to see Sue and Billy again.
I fell in love with this mother and son during Wolf in Her Bed and having her get her happy ending with the Hot Alpha Male Elias Gallagher made this book extra special. Elias is one of my favourite book Alpha Males and I didn't think anyone would be able to top the original members of the pack.
However, this amazing werewolf brought with him two new additions to the pack in the form of his equally amazing nephews. These Three quarter werewolves I am sure will have their own books in the near future as they are simply to fantastic not to get their own HEA.
I cannot recommend Wolf on a Mission enough as N.J. Walters continues to bring us stunning books and amazing characters you can't help but fall head over heels for.
More like 4.5* This is book 6 in this series and probably the strongest book of the series; even better than my man Gator's. I was wondering how they were going to expand the pack and avoid inbreeding issues and this book addresses that. This book added new characters seamlessly. It gives lots of potential for more books, and a new generation for a potential spin off series. We also get our first human-wolf pairing. This was the strongest book of the series; it had the most actual story.
I loved Elias and Sue (and Reece, Sage and Billy’s) fated mates, wolf shifter-human, single mom romance. This is a heartwarming, exciting and steamy romance full of relatable and lovable characters with a some angst and danger. Elias is a wolf shifter who is caring for his twin teenaged nephews, Reece and Sage. They are orphans and not full blooded wolves. He has come to the small town of Salvation to learn if the rumors about the Salvation pack are true and may be a safe place for his nephews. Sue is a human and a single mom to Billy. After the recent death of her parents and the distancing of her former best friend, she is feeling alone. Elias and Sue meet when Billy accidentally stumbles on a shifted Reese. Elias recognizes that Sue is his mate but since she is human he does not believe it can work. Fate keeps throwing them together though making it hard to stick to the goal and once hunters threaten those Elias loves things get more complicated. It was a HEA journey full of passion, sweetness, acceptance and love. I especially loved that Reece, Sage and Billy were a wonderful and integral characters in the story rather than flimsy story devices. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. It included sweet moments, steamy scenes, fighting, dangerous situations, fated mates, loyal friends, painful pasts, and laughs. While this book can be read as a standalone, there is an overarching storyline that’s woven throughout the series and you’ll get more enjoyment if you read the books in order.
Uau, quanta diferença para o livro anterior que eu li. Elias e Sue são indefinidamente melhores do que Sage e Rina (tudo por culpa de Rina, a cadela egoísta). Elias é meu tipo de homem ideal e me apaixonei por Sue, ainda mais porque ela é realmente forte e inteligente. Sue não espera o pior acontecer para agir, muito por conta da ajuda do Elias também, por isso ele é perfeito e eles perfeitos um para o outro.
Me emocionei tanto com Sue, me identifiquei também e tomei suas dores, principalmente sobre sua amiga Anny, que sim, agiu como outra cadela egoísta. Custava nada manter contato frequentemente e inventar uma desculpa de verdade. Estava curiosa sobre a história de Anny, mas ela é do tipo covarde, já consigo dizer. Não gosto de personagens covardes e por isso gostei tanto de Sue, ela é tão corajosa.
Não dou 5 estrelas porque sinto que faltaram algumas coisas. Sue interagindo com o lobo de Elias. Elias interagindo mais com Billy. Um pouco mais de obscenidade na relação de Elias e Sue, ele é um lobisomem cristo, sexo um pouco mais sujo e selvagem seria o ideal, foi muito baunilha. Elias deveria ter dado uma surra no Connor, acho que ele saiu muito ileso.
Mas fora esses pontos, foi uma ótima história. Sem enrolação e com personagens decididos, que sabem o que querem. Muito bom mesmo.
Excellent! One of my favorites in this series. I was wondering how N.J. was going to handle this book since everyone in the Salvation Pack was mated. Well I wasn't disappointed. Elias and his 2 teenage twin nephews are looking for a pack to join. His nephews Sage and Reese lost their parents in a car accident. Their mom heard great things about the Salvation Pack before she died and wanted her boys to go there. So Elias and the boys scope out the pack. Both boys are half breeds. Reese can shift but Sage cannot and nobody knows why. Elias and his nephews meet Sue and her son who are living in Anny's old house. Sue and Anny were best friends until Anny was attacked by a werewolf. To keep them safe Anny stayed away. Pretty soon Elias realizes Sue is his mate. His wolf wants her. The big problem is she's human. Will they be able to live happily ever after??
Elias Gallagher is all too aware that the world is not a safe place for a werewolf on his own and doubly so for his half-breed nephews. I liked Sue and Elias. The romance wasn't as intense as say Gwen & Jacques but it was sweet and sensual.
I liked this story and Elias and Sue were great together. Billy was sweet and Sage and Reece were too good to be true. What human teenagers act like that? My only problem was
Less conflict than the previous books in the series. The sexy parts are still hot, but maybe repetitive? IDK. I think I may need a break from this series and to revisit at a later time. I'd highly recommend the Salvation Pack series to those who like Paranormal Romance/Erotica.
Elias Gallagher is all too aware that the world is not a safe place for a werewolf on the run and doubly so for his half-breed nephews so he heads to North Carolina to check out the Salvation Pack but he never expected to find a mate in this spellbinding paranormal romance.
Sue Walsh is focused solely on raising her five-year-old son and the last things she wants or needs is an attraction to ruggedly handsome stranger and the readers can’t help but get caught up this romance as Elias and Sue discover that there are no limits when love runs wild. There is undeniably a hot and sizzling attraction between Sue and Elias but not only does their responsibilities hold them back but Elias’s secret is a major obstacle to this romance which has lots of emotional turmoil flowing from the pages and more so when Sue’s ex starts causing trouble. The characters easily draw the readers into their story as the fast paced and smooth flowing plot captivates them with lots of suspense, excitement and romance.
Elias is in quite the predicament in trying to find a safe pack for his nephews which keeps the tensions and suspense high throughout the story and Elias’ attraction to Sue just adds to the pressure since she’s human and when an accidental sighting leads danger straight to Sue’s doorstep, more adrenaline pumping excitement spices things up. The intriguing events keep readers glued to the pages and on the edge of their seat as the vivid imagery of the well written scenes bring the story to life.
The Salvation Pack is growing and I am delighted that it is as this is one of my favorite packs and I was completely enthralled with Elias and his nephews, the story was full of suspense in a lot of different areas of the story which kept me from putting the book down until I had read every last word and now I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

I absolutely loved this book the author makes the characters so life like their stories tug at your heart and you just wish they never end
You have sue best friends to anny you should remember her from a previous book well this one takes place a few years later and tragedy strikes her family multiple times alone with her son billy an ex trying to take him because he thinks billy got money from her parents you just feel for her
Then there's Elias and his nephews sage and Reece aka doggy their trying to find a pack that won't turn them away for being half breeds in the family and they find salvation and sue
I loved the book but I can only say the only thing I did not like was the fact sue was never turned it breaks my heart to think she will age and die before Elias I hope in a future book she's turned it would break my heart otherwise

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
I did it! I finally went back and read the first three books in the series before reading the upcoming release, Wolf on a Mission. Although Walters has written the books in the series in such a way that you can read them as a standalone, I’m glad I backtracked first because Sue was introduced in Wolf in Her Bed. I feel that understanding Sue’s relationship with Anny added a layer of richness to the storyline that I would have otherwise missed out on.
If you don’t have time to start at the beginning of the Salvation Pack series, by all means, do not hesitate to read Wolf on a Mission as a standalone because Elias’s mission – to find a safe place for his teenage nephews to learn about being part of a pack – makes this book an enjoyable read all on its own. And don’t worry about being lost because Walters will fill you in on the important details as you need them. As a full-blooded werewolf from a very traditional pack, Elias knows the dangers that his nephews face should their half-breed nature be discovered. Traveling to Salvation has him torn between the hope that the rumors his brother discovered about the pack are true and fear that they won’t be and that him approaching the pack will endanger his nephews’ lives. With all of his focus on his nephews and helping them to adjust to life without their parents, Elias doesn’t have time for a woman in his life, let alone a mate – especially if that mate is a single mother who also happens to be human. If you read Wolf in Her Bed, it makes the fear Sue experiences during her first encounter with Elias, Sage, and Reece even more potent, and it’s already pretty strong when she discovers her 5-year-old son is trying to play with a doggy that’s actually a wolf. Once the fear passes and Sue’s maternal instinct to protect kicks in, it actually makes for an amusing scene when she steps between Sage and Elias. My heart hurt so bad for Sage and Reece because Sue’s natural need to mother was exactly what the boys needed as their uncle was trying to secure them a safe haven. But as we’ve seen in the previous books in the series, nothing comes easy for the members of the Salvation pack, including those wanting to join, but perseverance and dedication to the end result make the fight worth it.
I loved getting to catch up with the members of the Salvation pack and seeing how their setup has changed with the influx of new members we saw in Wolf on the Hunt. The similarity between Elias’s mission to provide a safe place for his nephews and Sue’s fight to keep her son safe from his neglectful, absentee father made it easy to see them together as both are protectors in their own way. While the chemistry and sex between Elias was smoking hot, I will admit to not understanding how Elias was able to deliver a mate bite to Sue without be worried about her changing like Gwen and Anny had. I can only assume that the author will reveal more in a future installment. We see yet again, that while you can’t cure stupid, you can scare the everlovinghell out of it – oh yes, I enjoyed the cameo from the Louisiana pack for once in this series, immensely. The epilogue left the door wide open for the next installment and I cannot wait to see Walters has in store for the Salvation pack.
Wolf on a Mission is book six in N.J. Walters’ Salvation Pack series. If you haven’t read the first five books, don’t panic thinking you can’t pick up a book that far into a series. Ms. Walters is a master at giving you enough background information so the book you are reading can be considered a stand-alone, if need be, without boring readers who may have read the previous books.
Elias is a full-blooded werewolf whose beloved older brother and his wife were tragically killed, leaving Elias as the guardian of their teenage twin sons, Sage and Reece. The boys’ mother was half-werewolf, half-human, so the boys are three-quarters werewolf. Both have all the enhanced senses of a werewolf, but while Reece can shift, Sage cannot. Fearful that the old-school alpha of their pack will kill the boys, Elias takes them to a pack he has heard of that may be more understanding, the Salvation Pack in North Carolina.
Sue is a single full-human mom, barely making ends meet for herself and her 5-year-old son, Billy. She is being harassed by her ex-husband, who wants custody of the boy in order to gain control of money he believes the boy has inherited from his grandparents. When Elias and Sue meet, they are immediately drawn to each other and Elias believes he has found his true mate.
The relationship among Elias and his nephews is very close and loving. Elias has to seek the approval of the alpha of Salvation Pack before they can become members, and it is during the acceptance process that Elias discovers how unique this pack of werewolves is.
As part of the background information, we get to see alpha Jacques and journalist Gwen, the alpha and his mate from book one; Armand and Anny, who was Sue’s best friend until she was attacked and disappeared, from book two; Cole and his mate, Cherise, who can’t shift, from book three; Sylvie and Gator, whose second-chances story was book four; and Jacques’ brother Louis and his mate, artist Gray, from book five. All are smoothly re-introduced in a way that allows the reader to know enough to enjoy book six, even if the previous books have not yet been read. Trust me, though, you are going to want to go back and read them.
Along with the despicable ex-husband William, there are four hunters in the town who are determined to kill the wolves they think they have seen. The pack keeps to themselves back in the woods, but these hunters are on the hunt. When their victim is someone dear to Elias, the pack decides they must protect Elias and his nephews.
It is a tough decision for everyone to consider allowing Elias to bring Sue into their pack, as it will change everything. The other option for Elias is to take the boys and Sue and find another place to live. This would cause them untold hardships, as wolves need a pack for protection and support.
I really enjoyed watching this story unfold, knowing what I wanted to happen as a reader, but not quite sure how it was actually going to turn out. N.J. Walters has built a brilliant paranormal world where werewolves live in close proximity to humans without being discovered. I’m really looking forward to more stories about the wolves in this pack, especially Sage, who is ready to find himself as a separate person from his twin. Highly recommended.

I’m following the Salvation Pack series from the beginning, and I was wondering what the author would do now that the plot after the ending of the original pack of the heroes of the previous volumes. I wasn’t disappointed.
Elias is a werewolf who finds himself his nephews’ guardian of after the death of their parents. They are not full-blood, so it’s out of the question to go back to his original pack even if one of them can change into his wolf, so they decide to find out about the Salvation Pack, which rumors say they accept half-bloods. But fate put on his road Sue and her five years old son, both humans.
I really liked Elias, he’s a strong but cautious, honest, prepared to do anything for his nephews’ sake, including giving up his own happiness. I liked how his resistance crumbles little by little, till he can’t resist anymore. Sue as for her is a very pleasant heroine, even if I found her a bit too kind. She tries to resist too against her attraction for Elias, for her son Billy’s sake, and her reasons were quite logical and realistic. I also liked how she sympathized with the twins for their parents’ death. Even if the story, as always in this series, takes place on few days, we see a real evolution of their feelings, we follow their thoughts, and so in the end I didn’t doubt their couple. And as always too, there are beautiful and very sensual love scenes.
As for the secondary characters, we meet again all the heroes of the previous volumes, at first indecisive and distrustful, then much more welcoming toward Elias and the boys. And of course there’s Reece, Sage, and Billy, who take a big place in the story. Reece and Sage are teen twins, and if they are rather calm they have at times this humor a bit sarcastic that have all teens trying to find themselves. Billy is a likeable little boy who loves “doggies”, so you can imagine how that’ll go with a teen were-wolf. But don’t worry the couple’s story doesn’t suffer from the children’s presence, on the contrary.
Il the end I think Wolf on a mission is the volume I liked the most in the series. It can be read alone, even if the characters of the previous volumes are all present at some point or another. And the author plans for this summer the story of one of the twins!!
P.S. : This séries is published by Samhain, the publisher who’s stopping its activities little by little. I wonder what that’ll mean for the series.

Doubly so for half-breeds.He brings his nephews to North Carolina to check out the Salvation Pack’s openness to half-breeds. He never expected to find a mate—the fully human mother of a young boy— while there.After enduring one tragedy after another over the past two years, Sue Walsh is focused solely on earning a living and raising her five-year-old son. With her ex suddenly demanding custody, the last complication she wants or needs is an attraction to a ruggedly handsome stranger.But the sexual pull between them is too strong to be denied. And when there’s trouble with the local hunters, Elias will do whatever it takes to protect the people he loves. Even if it means revealing his biggest secret.Warning: This book will make your heart pound with excitement, your body sizzle with anticipation and your toes curl with satisfaction. The power of love will make you believe anything is possible.
Thoughts: While I have to admit that I have not loyally read each book in this series, I have read a few of them. I have to say, out of the ones I have read, this one is my favorite. I always enjoy the story told by Walters, but I particularly enjoyed the main character’s connection to his teenage nephews. And having twins – one who can shift and another that cannot – was an interesting twist and I liked how all the characters were written. I loved the connection between the characters, as well. This book was a really strong one in the series and I loved how the Salvation Pack was knocked off balance by these new characters and seeing how they interact together.
Very enjoyable book from Walters! I can only hope the twins will get their own books later on! ;)
WOLF ON A MISSION is a very well written and wonderfully compelling romance which pulls the reader in to the story with characters you grow to really care about. I loved how caring Elias was in regards to taking care of his nephews and admired his determination to find his nephew's a place to belong. Sue was a wonderful match and a strong character who has been through a lot trying to make it on her own with her own kid. Typically I wait for a story to make me see why two people should be together through their actions. For this one I kind of just wanted them to get together and be one big happy family right away. It was mainly the adorable kids that had me feeling this (okay also Elias and Sue were pretty cool together as well). They stole the show with their adorableness.
The story involving Elias trying to get into the Salvation Pack, Sue dealing with her really evil ex-husband, and the little issue of telling a human that you grow fur on command was a fun read. There were suspense, twists, and shocking revelations abound and I was all in for the ride. When we actually meet the Salvation Pack I made a mental note to go back and read the previous five books because the characters we meet were awesome.
WOLF ON A MISSION will grab you from the first few pages with its amazing and extremely likeable characters and intriguing world building that I must learn more about by reading the previous books while waiting impatiently for the next book.
Family and love are complicated no matter if you are human… or not….
I love this author’s writing and couldn’t wait to dive into this new (to me) shifters series. Elias Gallagher and his nephews are searching for a home. Sue Walsh was not what they wanted but definitely what they needed. Sue had family problems of her own and wasn’t looking for more complications. If this sounds like a story screaming of obstacles and emotions than you have got it right!
Sue and Billy were doing okay on their own but couldn’t help but be drawn to Elias, Sage and their pet wolf, Reece. Talk about appearances being deceiving. There was no good reason for them all to connect but bond they did. Elias was strong and naturally gave the impression of security and reliability. He was also handsome in a way that immediately attracted Sue. With the boys getting on like a house on fire, and their guardians feeling the same way, this was a love story that included the entire family. And it really felt like a love story between them all as they circled around each other to protect against threats from a variety of corners. With secrets and lies causing their own issues, only honesty and trust would get them through.
This was the sixth in the series and I know I would have enjoyed this story even more if I’d read the earlier books. It worked well as a standalone and could have only been better understanding more of the backstory and history of the secondary characters. So much to catch up on I will be heading straight to the beginning of this series!
