Snowed In With The Pack

Broken Ladder Wolf-Shifters #1

by Dizzy Hooper

My body wants a mate. But I sure wasn't counting on three…

It's the most embarrassing time of any female shifter's life. My body is desperate to be mated, and it's willing to do whatever it has to to get the job done.

I have no home to go to, no place on this earth that feels safe.

Intent on riding out my mating season alone, I travel into the wilderness, when a freak blizzard leaves me stranded.

Of course, the only house around for miles is home to three ripped, wolf-shifter guys. They take me in—no strings attached.

In any normal situation, they'd be fighting each other for the right to claim me. But this isn't normal.

These men take their pack-bond seriously, and they share everything. If I let them, they'll share me.

Being so close to them as my season approaches is too much for me to bear. I need their hands on my skin, their touch. I beg them to help me scratch my itch and soothe my ache.

Only they don't just want to sleep with me. They want to take me as their lover. Their mate.

They want to keep me—for life.

Okay...

There was almost a story here... almost. But instead all there is is sex...not love making...sex. Some of it gross.

These stories are popular and I can understand why but it's not something that I like.

Young female shifter is stranded in a snow storm and she is going into heat. Lucky for her there is a house close by so she will have shelter. Sounds good right?

Sigh... it has potential.... and then not so much. She has found her mates...three hot alpha wolves who instantly know she is theirs... and the rest of the story is sex.

So for those who like this great... I like stories with meat in them...and not just male meat. This is just smut.

I would like to know more about her old pack... to have some interaction between the two packs. Have some justice for her ....it wasn't there... I don't think it was hot, or erotic or sexy...it was just lots of sex with instant love and I didn't buy it.

Thankfully I didn't buy the book either ...I got it when it was free...I just wish I could have that hour back that I wasted on it.

One more thing....there are a few editing issues.

I love shifters especially steamy shifters stories with a great plot, so this started well with shifter h in a bad situation. But the plot sort of started and stopped all in the first chapter. The rest of the book was full on steamy scenes, no meaningful dialogue, no character or plot development. Boring, boring, boring.

Not Much of a Plot

This book was mostly about a virgin wolf shifter's car breaking down right when she has begun her heat cycle. 95% of the story was about her making love to three shifters.

[Irene Kiew · Rating 4 out of 5]

It started out in a confusing way, with the FMC (Jess) being thrown out of her pack by her alpha father for supposedly acting like a wh*re while she was living and working in the city. She says her new stepmother poisoned her father against her, but she also says her father was a loving father and encouraged her to take the job in the city because she liked it. So him turning against her so suddenly and without any evidence to back up the accusations just didn't make sense. It would mean he was not only a sh*tty father, but also a sh*tty alpha.

Anyway. Jess is about to have her "season" (a.k.a. heat). She thought she'd be able to go through it in the safety of her pack's lands but now she has nowhere to go. She drives off blindly and gets stranded when her car runs out of gas. So she treks to a nearby building to ask if she can use their phone to call for a tow.

So, what I like about the three men is that they are protective and honorable, like all good shifters should be. There is instant lust (partially because of the hormones Jess is giving out, as she goes into her "season") but the men are respectful and careful about consent. I can understand instalust and instalove in shifters, because biology. But I wanted them to have more conversations about their past, what they do, who they are.

There is of course a lot of sex because, well, Jess is in heat. But we're told that in between that, there's also talk and laughter, but it was summarised exactly like that -- "talking and laughing" -- and we didn't get to hear what they were talking about or to see them laughing and bonding. So at the end of it all, the connection feels like it's mostly due to biology and not much else.

I did like that they ran and frolicked in the snow as wolves and got to know each other in wolf form, not just in human form. The book was enjoyable, just... lacking in relationship development. And it had a bit too much sex, which did not really advance the plot.

A sexy RH with lots of loving!

Everything about this book is sheer perfection!

JESSICA
"My father cast me out becuase his mate convinced him I was a whore. When in reality, I'm a virgin, desperate to be mated but untouched."

THE INTRODUCTION
The scent of the males within is intoxicating, each layer richer than the last. There's spice and caramel, dark cedar and something I can only describe as liquid gold.

THE ALPHA
Just like that, a wave of safety washes over me. The wolf's cloud of scent is liquid gold and amber and the most delicious, carnally enticing male spice I've ever experienced.

THE ALPHA
"I don't even know your name," I blurt out.
"Grady." His jaw flexes.

THE REST OF THE PACK
LANDEN
He's young-younger than me, so maybe twenty or so. His golden hair is just long enough to fall into his bright blue eyes.
COLT
His skin is a rich olive, his eyes dark. His black hair is cut short, and stubble grazes his jaw.

THE MATING
I must have misunderstood. I shake my head. "You want-"
"To make you our mate," he repeats.

I absolutely enjoyed Snowed In With The Pack. Dizzy Hooper has an excellent imagination and that translates onto the pages. I will be reading more of this Author's works!

* A Reverse Harem Paranormal Romance (Broken Ladder Wolf-shifters Book 1)

[Reading Addict · Rating 3 out of 5]

I picked this up as an Amazon freebie. The title says it all. It's a paranormal reverse harem romance. Well romance might be stretching it a bit! Jessica is a wolf shifter that is going into heat. She was planning to ride this time out at her father's home but he has a new mate that has filled his head with lies and so Jessica has been rejected by her father. Her car gets stuck in a snowstorm so she starts walking towards a cabin in the woods only to find that two very hot wolf shifters live there and that they have been expecting her. They know that she has needs but they refuse to touch her until their alpha returns. This was a quick, easy read. Lots of sex however not a lot of character building. One reviewer said it perfectly "A Quick Smutty Read". It's written in first person POV from Jessica's perspective. One last note that I hope the author will read, please hire a better proofreader. Grammatical errors really detract from the enjoyment of reading a book which is why I gave this 3 stars. I found at least 10 errors in this novella and there were errors in your preview as well. You're doing yourself a disservice by putting out sub-standard work.

A Dec 2018 I'm sick as shit read

2.5 rounded down

Soooo, I kinda liked the sentiment here: this whole pack had all of their (adult?) women & mates killed by a rival. It destroyed them and now they have no real pack (a bunch of mini packs connected by tragedy) and they have no women.

The heroine shows up into this and has to stay there because reasons.

Look, don't pay any attention to those plot holes! Like how only 1 mini pack has (now) a woman but the killings happened over a decade ago. Or that I'm almost 100% certain that there should have been girl babies and thus grown women in the pack(s) now. Etc. Pay NO ATTENTION to that at all.

I could not ignore the copious amounts of bodily fluids, however. GROSS.

[Kathryn the Great · Rating 2 out of 5]

First and foremost... sex. Did you get that? SEX. GROUP SEX. All hands on deck group sex. If you are not into that, walk away now. And just like a lot of porn, the plot is thin. Car broke down? Happen to be really horny? Lucky for you there is a lone house just up the way full of hot blooded horny dudes who can help a girl out. That's it. Oh, and they are also werewolves.
It is what it is.
I personally like a little bit more story to go with my sex romps. A conversation or two every few chapters would be nice, or at all. I don't feel like I know these people, but I could tell you what their junk looks like. If you need to take care of some business, this might get you there.
p.s. I know this is written under a pen name, but I feel like a guy wrote it. I would put money on it.

[Jessica S · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really hoped there would be more story in it. Her father cast her out of her pack because his new mate told him she's a whore and spread her legs for everyone. And dispite her bring a virgin she does exactly that when she is stranded in the snow,with her heat coming up and no place to go. She finds shelter with 3 male wolves(1 is their alpha)
I really hoped you would learn more about th guys, that they would pay a visit to her father or just more story.
The bonus chapter for agreeing to the newsletter gave more insight than the whole book.
Maybe that insight/story/background comes with the other books in the series(5 in total), but them being quite pricey and only to buy on Amazon. I'm not going to find this out

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am not sure where the line between RH and erotica is, but this felt pretty close.

Jessica gets turned away from her pack right when she is coming into her season. Her car happens to break down near a cabin with three males who want to be her mate and treasure her. Once she agrees you can guess what happens from there. If you guessed sex and lots of it you are a winner!

I liked the characters and world building that was being laid out and wanted more of it and less of the mating.

You want a short, fast read, with people you can at least root for to have a happen ending with lots of sex, this fits the bill.

[Amber Hamblin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perfect for a quick Smutty read

From the beginning there was a lot of tense sexual desire. Though the back story isn’t there yet maybe it will play out in the next book somehow? I have a lot of unanswered questions about why things went down the way they did. I also didn’t feel a real connection with the characters.

But if your looking for a quick sexy book with smut, then your in luck.

[Danielle Fleetwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy shifters, oh my!

Possible spoiler!!!!


Sexy shifters Grady (alpha), Colt, and Landon are from a fabled pack. When Jessica shows up, they know she's theirs from the start. Takes her a little bit to catch up to them, but she knows that's where she belongs. Steamy scenes. Drama at the beginning as Jessica wonders lost after being exiled, but she finds a wonderful pack of her own.

[Sandi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Snowed in With The Pack.

Interesting concept. I know that these are just stories and make believe but sometimes the authors ' imagination gets a little out there.. This book is one of those. Menages are a fact of life in some cultures or not, but this was a little different than a lot that I have read and I can't say I liked it or didn't. That's not what authors want to hear but I'm being honest...I do not know whether I like or not.

[Alisha Thompson · Rating 3 out of 5]

So much!

This is first time I’ve read anything from this author. Snowed In With the Pack is the first novella in this shifter RH serial. Gives a quick peak into Jessica’s story when she is in desperate need of help she not only finds 1 but 3 mates willing to give her the world. The majority of the novella is sex however so there’s not much story plot and you may want to wait for more of the serial to be released and read them back to back.

[Michelle Fritz PA · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was pure entertainment with edge and sizzle! Why worry about detailed backstory when the plot is just so delicious!? Basically what the blurb and cover say are what you're going to get. If you want a steamy three dude romance, this is it! The female character is faced with a dilemma and she finds a safe place, but will her heart be able to make the right decision? You'll have to dig in to see! This is the first that I've read from this author and won't be the last 😉

[ForTheLoveOfBooks · Rating 3 out of 5]

Meh

It was alright. I liked it enough to finish but I want to know what happens with her father. And her life she had back in the city. Just too many unanswered questions.

And the the characters weren’t all that appealing. I mean they were nice enough for me to finish but I kind of just felt let down by the story. I feel the 2nd book will probably give what you need as far as some oomph but you have to get past the first book first.

[Angie Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome reverse harem story

When Jessica gets kicked out of her pack by her father she drives to put distance between herself and that situation. Little did she know she would meet Landen, Grady, and Colt and they would make all her dreams come true. Even ones she didn't even know about. I highly recommend this story!!!!

[Shana Pare · Rating 3 out of 5]

Deeply disappointing.

I have been reading a lot of these reverse harem books recently. This is the first one I have come across that has almost no story line, men who are probably interesting in another universe, and boring dialogue.

This book is almost 98% pornography, or erotica if I am generous. I will not be buying the subsequent book(s).

[Victoria B · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was ok, I liked the plot for this PNR. Most of the time you come across a human female and male shifters who end up changing her when they mate. This book is about a female shifter and three male shifters but 90% of the story is one long sex scene, a great sex scene is always nice but I need more story then just sex.

[Lisa Pain · Rating 4 out of 5]

Alphalicious

I gave this book 5 stars it was a good story with 3 gorgeous Alphas and one very lucky she-wolf. I was sorry it finished and would have gladly kept reading. It finished nicely and obviously the next book will take over but there's plenty of story to come. I thought this book was well worth the read!!

[Annette Aguilar · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Dork Chocolate · Rating 4 out of 5]

Does exactly what it needs to

There isn’t much of a story-line here, but if you’re looking for a quick and steamy read for personal fun-times, this is perfect.

I read this for free through my KU account, but I’ll probably be purchasing it later for my collection.

This story was incredible,outstanding,exciting and just plain hot 🔥as hell!!!!. It has a great storyline with hot characters!!. What more could you ask for? Dizzy 😵is an awesome writer and fantastic storyteller with an incredible imagination!!!.

[CJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a pretty good intro to the series. I would have called it almost a prologue or chapter one because though the characters have been introduced and the first part of the story has been told, it is incomplete. I am hoping by book three the full story of these four will have been told.

[Marc Rieck · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick, okay RH read

Female wolf shifter gets kicked out of her pack, just days before she goes into heat. She drives away, in a snowstorm. Her car breaks down. But wait, there are lights close behind.

The editing is okay, the plot isn't the purpose of this story.

[Cynthia · Rating 3 out of 5]

While this book says its a romantic read, that is not what I would call it. It is SEX on a stick story. Pure porno is what this story is. No real world building, no real in depth characters. Not a super deep read.

Hot sexual scenes loads of!

[Anne B · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the book immensely. The premise and the characters worked well. The sex scenes were hot and it certainly made me want to read the next book in the series. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is because I like stand alones better than series.
