True Mates #6

Tempted by the Wolf

Rate this book
In the exciting conclusion to the True Mates Series, Lone Wolf Meredith and powerful warlock Daric fight their growing attraction for one another.

Lone Wolf shifter Meredith is trying to make the next ten years of her life pass by quickly. After being caught trying to steal from the New York clan, she’s sentenced to servitude to them for the next decade to make up for her crimes. But, when she gets assigned to guard their prisoner, the handsome but dangerous warlock, Daric, things suddenly become complicated. She knows he’s their enemy, and possibly evil, but she’s having a hard time controlling her attraction to him.

Now that he’s is finally free from the evil mage Stefan, Daric has one single goal: the destruction of his former master. He’ll do anything to kill the mage who ruined his life, even if it means working with the New York clan and their alpha. However, his desire for his beautiful Lycan bodyguard is a distraction, one he can’t afford. The she-wolf is proving to be too alluring, and he’s craving for a taste.

When Meredith’s past comes back to haunt her and she’s left hurting, Daric can’t help but offer his comfort and assistance, especially when all roads lead back to the mages. Can he keep his head and his heart or will she prove to be the one weakness that could destroy him?

Tempted by the Wolf is a full-length (75,000 words) werewolf paranormal romance with explicit love scenes, naughty language, and shifter suspense action with guaranteed HEA and no cliffhangers!

Although it works as a standalone romance story, this book takes place in the True Mates series. Though not necessary, I recommend you read the rest of the books to understand the world and the main plot.

Pleasantly Surprised By This Book

I sped through the first five books in this series, then just stopped. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read an entire book focused on Meredith. While I liked her in small doses, I just wasn’t sure I could take her being center stage. I’m glad I finally gave in to this fun read.

Our heroine Meredith was a bit over the top as usual. I love her goofball nature and smart @ss remarks. Daric was a great match for Meredith. He was level-headed and down to earth. I loved how he was the calm to Meredith’s storm.

The final book in the series nicely wrapped up the overall arc with Stefan and his minions while at the same time setting up the spinoff series, The Lone Wolf Defenders. We see some of Meredith’s history come into play and introduces us to her ‘brothers.’

Tempted by the Wolf
A Werewolf Shifter Paranormal Romance True Mates Book 6
by Alicia Montgomery
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow, I couldn't put my reader down once I started reading this phenomenal story. Alicia Montgomery always does a great job with the development of the story and her characters. Her characters are strong, sexy, exhilarating, sensational, fantastic, Smoking HOT and loveable. I enjoy the fact it's a complete story, that's well developed without any cheating, there is a lot of drama, action, suspense, with explicit love scenes ( it's written for adults to read) and a guaranteed HEA! Oh my how I enjoyed reading this story. Well this book 6 Tempted by the Wolf A Werewolf Shifter Paranormal Romance True Mates features a Lone Wolf shifter name Meredith and her true mate a powerful warlock Daric. Meredith is making the best of the ten years she got after getting caught breaking into to the lab of New York pack. But she is feeling grateful to the pack she is only sentenced to servitude to them and for not sending her away to Serbia for her crimes. As Meredith helps the pack she is asked to guard the dangerous warlock, Daric. But Meredith doesn't believe that Daric is evil and she is attracted to him. Daric feels now he is free from the evil mage Stefan he only want to kill him and he would do anything to get done. So he decides to work with the alpha of New York pack. But he is also getting distracted by his desire for his beautiful she wolf bodyguard. OMG! I'm kinda sad that this is the conclusion of the True Mates Series. I have read all six books and I enjoyed reading them all and I will miss this series. Alicia Montgomery has won a place in my heart with this series. She is a talented author that I will be waiting anxiously for the next series she writes.This is a fantastic series. You will find each of these stories to be humorous, fill with lot of sparks, sexual chemistry, tension and lovable characters. I know once you read this book you will love reading it as much as I have. Because it's a Fantastic and exciting conclusion to the Series. Of course this is a great book to end this series.

I’ll say the second Epilogue will tie this book, well this series into the next generation series. Daric saw the vision of Nick’s son Zac marrying a woman, named Astrid. A girl with the features of his mate Meredith, the third child that’s still hasn’t been born yet, but is incubating and a few months to go before she is.
But this whole story was best one of the series, in my opinion. Couldn’t put this down since I started and I’m done and now I’ll be in a funk after reading all 7 (that’s Zac & Astrid’s store) in a row. I can’t read the rest of the next generations stories.

My favorite one

Meredith is a Lone wolf shifter, who was caught trying to steal from the New York's Alpha. She was sentenced to ten years of being confined to the Alphas building. She has a little more freedom, she was the bodyguard for the Dr. and now she must keep an eye on the warlock, Daric.
Daric is a seer and warlock who has done some very bad things to protect his mother. He is now a prisoner of the Alpha, with his powers stripped. When Meredith's foster brothers show up it's with bad news. Their foster father was killed while in New York.
Meredith, her brothers and Daric start investigating to see what happened. While investigating, Stefan the warlock who held Daric and his mother for 18 years, is still wanting to take over the Lycans and human.
When Stefan kidnaps Meredith, a baby and a dragon shifter, Daric will do anything to get his truemate back and so will the whole clan.
Funny. Smoking hot sex. Overprotective brothers. A murder. And a sexy wolf and handsome warlock who butt heads often.

Loved

This is Meredith and Daric's story.

Meredith is a lone wolf and thief who was caught breaking into Fennrir looking to steal corporate information and sell it to the highest bidder. Instead she gets caught and has to serve 10 years to the NY Clan. But after proving herself and helping the Alpha and his security detail, she's now working alongside the Clan.

Daric is a warlock who has worked against the Clan in the past. But he made a deal with Grant in exchange of saving his mother, he will work with the Clan on magic.

Meredith watched over Daric, and the attraction and chemistry is strong. But Daric avoids any interaction between them because he knows that she's his true mate.

When he finally gives into what they have, his quest for vengeance isn't so high anymore. Only her safety is a priority; until his old Master Stefan kidnaps her, Sebastian, and baby Zac Vrost.

A must read!

This is the stunning conclusion to the True Mates series. Although satisfying alone the rest of the series provides need background information on all of the characters. Daric was helping Stephan in his devious plans. He is seeking to mend the error of his ways. Meredith was on a ten year stint for breaking and entering. They were both prisoners of sorts. When they begin to have stirrings for each other will they be able to overcome the negative stigma of wolves and warlocks being together or will they let that keep them apart? Can they find out how thoroughly their fates are intertwined and accept it before it's too late? This story is hot, sweet, and passionate. It's full of twists and turns that make the story near impossible to put down! It's bittersweet that the story has concluded. I can't wait to see what this author has next in store!

There's a really good books I hated to see them in but in this one Meredith finds her through May to be one of the evil Mages deric. They caught him in their last attack against the evil she was just guarding the prison and she couldn't help but think how nice looking he was plus she hasn't had sex in forever. She was also a prisoner when she tried to break in and steal from the New York City Wolfpack. When her foster brothers kind of tell her that their foster dad is dead the pack leader lets her go with her brothers to help but she has to take him with her. All he wants to do is kill the evil Mage who stole his mother and made him do things he didn't want to do. Love the end of the book because it gave you a little bit of the life story of what's going on now after so many years and all the kids and all the families together great stories.

The perfect ending to a awesome series.

I just couldn't put this book down. Meredith and Daric are both strong characters who are hot as hell together. Meredith is no wall flower. She is a master thief who tried to rob the New York Clan. Dario was being blackmailed into the evil plan to get rid of the lycans by a evil mage. Both are prisoners of the Clan but they prove how important each can be to the Clan. Plus along the way they find common ground and the sparks fly. Hot, steamy and passionate sex scenes make you can yourself as you turn the pages. Plus a great ending to awesome series. Love this

The best of the series

I love when authors take the time to wrap up a series with a pretty bow. So many good series get rushed and the endings seem to fizzle. I was worried at first that this is how Marideth and Deric's story would be. (Since we didn't know a lot about them) I love to be wrong!!
This was an amazing story of redemption and growth. Finding love, family and forgiveness is so beautiful and this book captured all that we got to experience through the series.
Yes, there was some editing issues. Honestly, I didn't even care because the plot was strong and consistent.
Bravo! & thank you for a wonderful read!

I found this book discounted on Amazon via Shifted Sheets.
The grand finale of the series ends with a bang and brings you to a few new series in the same world. Full of bedroom action, battles, magic, raw language, and rage management needed for a few of them. Meredith is not my style of heroine, who keeps running away (3x at least by 15%), but she's a great soldier and she would have made her father proud. Daric is the sensitive one, who puts others first, and keeps his promises. I love how true mates smell wonderful with a meaning, and I really liked how Daric could see the past and the future. Always fun to see all the other couples from the series.

Lone wolf Meredith is pleased to be monitoring powerful wizard Daric since his capture but he’s looking and smelling too good to her and her wolf… mmm so sexy! Just as their relationship is beginning to take off angering quite a few wolves in the Fenfir enclave, Meredith’s three lone wolf brothers arrive… their adoptive father had been killed though it’s ruled suicide. Also, the council wants Sebastian, the dragon and Daric in their custody, Grant refuses and is threatened they’ll dissolve the NY clan if he resists! Stefan goes forward with his most diabolical step yet and the NY’ers aren’t sitting still for it. Good Stuff!

Shifters, padlocks writhe steamy romance

I got a free ARC and here is my honest review. This is a series book but can be read without the previous books but trust me you will want to read them all. This book has a great plot and the characters come alive and draw you in. It has steamy scenes and tons of drama and suspense. The characters have their individual struggles and the whole group has struggles but does have a great ending. The story is a quick read and well worth your time. I really have to recommend this book and series.

Fantastic ending to True Mates Series. Meredith is a sassy,mouthy,funny as heck lone wolf whom we met several books ago. Daric a warlock who had been (reluctantly) helping Stefan a mange since the beginning of this series get their book. Well written,sexy,funny,a few twist and a few emotional moments that make a great story. Sad to see this series end but I have already gotten both books that are a spin off Lone Wolf Defenders that are about Meredith's three brothers who we met in this series.

A strong series

A good strong series with strong characters. This is the story of Meredith, the lone wolf shifter, who was captured while trying to rob the Fenrir secret laboratory. Daric is a wizard who was the mage, Stefan’s, right hand man. He is now a prisoner at Fenrir and Meredith is tasked with guarding him. They both know that shifters and mages are mortal enemies but Daric says he is not a mage but a wizard. Maybe that’s why they have conflicted feelings about each other.

Tempted by the Wolf: True Mates (6)

Oh my! What an ending. The Lone Wolf & the Warlock, Meredith and Daric, not allowed, not happening, Ha!! Yeah , a match made in hell, 2 people held prisoner, he by a bracelet to stop his powers, her by an anklet that can track her and explode if removed. As the saying goes, love finds a way. There is a lot happening here to bring an excellent finale. Then I find there's a stand alone spin-off series The Lone Wolf Defenders, nope got it and read it, nemind. Excellent series again Alicia, thank you

Phenomenal Ending

By far the best phenomenal ending for this series. I loved Daric from the get go and to find out Meredith was his True Mate was priceless!!!! I loved them together. Now for the good stuff….Finally Stefen got what he deserved by the hands of two important people that I both love. I loved all the action and to get both of their back stories and their losses was heartbreaking and the emotions I felt was endearing. I will definitely be reading all the kids books and the brothers books as well.

The Wrap-Up Answers (Many) Old Questions and Asks New Ones

Never would have put the little thief and the disgraced warlock together, but they work. Loved that many series questions were answered; but others, weren't, particularly considering the political and scientific issues that were at play. And some new faces showed up...including the kind of epilogue that can send readers, swooning. Loved this series!

Tempted by the Wolf

Sadly this was the last book in the series. But what a book it was. Everything wrapped up smoothly. Meredith has been a great character in the past few books. I loved her personality. Daric was a character you didn't quite know what side he was really on. But like I said everything flowed together, none of the story was rushed. Looking forward to reading the spin-off series.

A Conundrum Combination

Daric is the warlock captured during a recent battle. Meredith, sort of another prisoner being held at the New York Alpha's stronghold becomes his guard. Her adoptive brothers come to town and tell her their 'father' has died. Under unusual circumstances. During the investigation, their is a little fraternization, which leads to all sorts of fun, but more trouble.

Seriously funny and great read

This book had me laughing mostly through the whole book. It's a really great read. I got such a kick out of Meredith and Jade still have me cracking up. I love the story that comes to build between Daric and Meredith. It just seems to work out so well despite all of the obstacles. I really enjoyed character build up the storylines the way it all played out in the way the storie ties it all up at the end.

Can two outcasts and criminals find redemption?

I absolutely love Meredith! She is spunky, fun, fierce, and a fighter. Daric is mysterious, reserved, clever, and caring. I absolutely think that they are the perfect combination for each other! This story sucked me in and leaves us with a bit of mystery at the end. Absolutely a wonderful story with just the right amount of steaminess!

good conclusion to the series

I wish Meredith had more depth as a character. She is always joking and ridiculous and that’s fine but she would’ve been a stronger character if there was more to her that just that. She’s a bit ridiculous and it gets a bit old. I also thought that the conclusion of the mage/Stefan plot was a bit anticlimactic considering it was 6 books in the making. Overall, it was a good read and I do recommend but it definitely wasn’t my fave in the series.

Nice end to this series

This series made me smile and made me laugh. What a great sense of humor. I liked all of the characters and the way the author weaved them into the world. It was an original storyline too which is always a plus. My only criticism was that some of the dubious logic that Grant used. For someone who was so smart, he made some illogical choices. I will look forward to more from this author.🔥🔥🔥🔥/5

Awesome Series

This series had my emotions on a roller coaster!!! Holy moly donut shop!!!! I screamed, laughed, cried, and I’ve never wanted a character in a book to die so badly!! This book was really sweet and I like the direction it took with introducing more characters and setting us up for the next series of stories. Low level spice, but the plot really made up for it. It balanced out well. I really enjoyed these.

Enchanting

Witches, Warlocks, Wolves and dragons, that's the good guys, the bad guys would be the mages. There is mate magic flowing through this book. We get an indepth look into family dynamics and secret betrayals. And with three new characters there is more story coming, the extended ending was good too.

The End????

Great conclusion not an ending to a great series! I love this world of True Mates and it all their struggles to keep each other. All walks of life crossing path to find their other half. Daric is one of my favorite characters and I'm pleased he found redemption and a HEA. Can't wait for the spin off series about Lonewolves!!!!

Super storyline!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this writers books. They are each an adventure with twists and turns and even a dash of humor thrown in for fun! I love series books that spin a tale that is from a different perspective. Pick up one and you will just have to pick up the next, you'll see.... Thanks Alicia, can't wait for Dante 's story.
