Sold To The Werewolf
Werewolf Romance
Jane Sanders lived in a perfect and peaceful world; she had a promising future and was blessed with a loving family. Overnight, her world turns upside down - from bright and wonderful to dark and full of despair - when she receives news of her parents’ tragic death. To make matters worse, her baby brother Charlie falls terribly ill and needs costly treatments if he is to survive. Barely having enough money for food and shelter, Jane is offered a deal too good to turn down - a deal that could save the only family she has left in the world...
Zare Mallack is the hot and sexy leader of a biker gang. As Alpha, he needs a mate. And when he sees Jane in the local biker bar, his instincts tell him she could use his help… if she can offer him what he needs.
Surely a proposal like that doesn’t come without trouble… What kind of business is Zare mixed up in and what is the deeper secret hiding behind his dark and often disturbing eyes? With her little brother’s life hanging in the balance, Jane can either accept the offer, or refuse and watch her only remaining family die. Is there really a choice when your loved one’s life is on the line? Even if it means sacrificing yourself as bride to the biker king?

I was looking at books on Amazon when I spotted this since it had all 4 and 5* reviews I started reading straight away.
If I'm being honest this book felt more like a rough draft than a finished story, the characters needed more depth and for a book this length (it ends at just 10%) there was just too much here and it ended up feeling rushed and shallow.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. There were some editing problems but you could easily over look them. I will definitely read more books by Summer Cooper.

She isn't sold at all very misleading. Stops at 14% and then like 6 other books included.
The story just needed more of something

2.5: It just didn't do it for me. I found myself putting my kindle down more then I wanted to pick it up. There was no depth to the characters. The thing is I think the plot has a lot of potential, but it just didn't get there.

A collection of shift or stories worth reading
I found the different shift or stories in this groups of short stories to be worth the reading. The stories were short enough in the characters and plot were easily done quickly for those times when you want to read a short story.

What a load of shite
June 28, 2016
SPOILERS!!!
It was good. But not quite good enough.
It was actually well-written for a short story. Big time lapses were sometimes dissapointing and some places were just unbelievable. Like when she spent 800 in a week,but with fifthy grand she rented a house,bought furniture and lived for months,AND stashed the most of the money away? Is the value of money really so changing? Inflation cannot develop so dramatically. In some places,the facts were mixed up. First he said he is in his 50s,but later he is in his 70s? Such aging in just a couple of months? Funeral in a month,anyone? Even if u go along with the author's idea that they live up to 300 years,what is the purpose? If u age so rapidly,then u are gonna be dead soon enough. There were a couple of other small things that were mixed up like the her first time on a bike. Was it after her car broke or was it a few months later? Please decide,since if it is the first option,a whole chapter is unnecesarry and bulls*it. Kinda not a big deal,but they ruin the flow of the story,especially if you actually get cought up in it,but then BANG! You notice something like that and think-wait,didn't it say in the previous chapter otherwise? And u get distracted and lose the track of the story. Agitating and frustrating. I would have given it more stars...if it wasn't for the rushed,overstuffed,confusing and totally weird ending where the concept of time obviously was ignored. Again.
Damn,I am getting frustrated writing this. Better just leave it be,before I change my mind and totally deflate this book. ups.

I enjoyed this story it was a great mix of anguish, love and struggle. There is also the tough side with a biker bar and a surprising clan of Werewolves to be added into the mix. Jane is struggling, newly out of studying for accountancy when something unexpected happens and means she has responsibility for her much younger brother, then his health fails. Not knowing where to turn or raise the money needed not just for his treatment but for them both to live and eat, she gets desperate. Zare is a leader, of more than just a clan, he spots this beautiful girl with such sadness in her eyes and wants to help. Knowing she has pride and wont just take a handout he gives her another option. With some struggles within the clan threatening them both nothing is plain sailing, despite that there is something that just clicks between them. Decisions made for safety cause more pain and I really felt for both Zare and Jane while reading and hoped they would manage to work it all out for the better. Dealing with loss at a young age myself and having a certain amount of responsibility for my younger brother, though not to the extreme this character does, just pulled at my heart I sympathised at the feelings she had and felt her desperation. This story just because of the situation alone was enough to have me praying for her happy ever after, but to be honest the rest of the story was an intense and thrilling read. It kept me enthralled throughout, I would have liked a bit of the wolf coming out to play but that was the only disappointment in the whole book.

Jane and Zare
Jane is called back to Louisiana when her parents are killed in an automobile accident. Her degree is in accounting. She is left with nothing but bills and her 11-year-old brother, Charlie. There are no jobs for an accountant in the small town and she and Charlie are evicted from the house her parents rented. She takes a job in a bar. Her friend, Dodie, finds a trailer for Jane and Charlie to live in. Jane meets Zare at the bar, and when Charlie is diagnosed with leukemia, Zare proposes a marriage of convenience. His clean wants him to marry, and he is weAlthy a and can pay for the treatment Charley needs that the insurance will not pay for. They each have feelings for the mother and decide to make it a real marriage. Some of his cousins do not want him to tell the human world about shifters, so they kidnap. Jane and she is beaten severely and almost raped. Share rescues her. She takes Charley and drives away, eventually ending up in Montana. After some MontesSori hears the bad guys are searching for Jane again, and he goes to Montana to bring them back to Louisiana and sees Jane is pregnant. They return to stay in a hidden apartment in his mansion no one knows about and he makes plans with the government to take out the bad guys.
It is a good read with solid characters, and there are a number of short stories following it. Plenty of variety. I will be looking for more works by this author.

This is a exceptionally good heartwarming shapeshifter romance and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The story covers Jane Sanders, a woman fresh out of collage and having to deal with her parents death and looking after her little brother when she has no money at all causes her to seek employment at a bar called Hole in the Wall where she meets Zara Malack, a wolf shapeshifter and alpha of his MC clan, Zara has noticed Jane and has his eyes firmly on her and then makes an offer of marriage to her. What you will find in this book is, a woman with financial problems, drama, suspense, attempted prostitution, A little boy with leukemia, an offer of marriage, acceptance of marriage, threats, emotional feelings, discovery, a family members betrayal, abduction, beatings, abuse, a rescue, running away, pregnancy, taken back home, hidden apartment, changing into a wolf shapeshifter, conspirators killed, falling in love, romance and tender loving erotic scenes. The story-line is impressive and well written, the plot is taut and terrific. The characters are well developed, tangible and realistic with their feelings, desires and needs. I would recommend this book to people that like to read a extremely good shapeshifter book with a HEA.

I’m not going to have a lot of nice things to say about this book so let’s just get basically the one and only good thing about the story out there first. The best part was that it was for free. That’s it. If you, whoever you are that is reading this review right now, enjoyed the book and can’t handle a negative perspective of the story, then stop reading right now. Because the rest is all downhill.
This is one of those stories that I can’t see any point in. I mean, the reason for an author to write a story should be because she wants to share her imagination and passion in a written world. And that art and hard work is the reason why readers like myself find a reason to want to read, to invest myself emotionally and fully into the story. This book failed on both ends. I can’t see any passion or effort put into the story by the author, simply because the storyline was so so rushed, emotionless and to the point of idiotic in realism. In turn, how am I as a reader supposed to be invested in a story where the author put zero effort in to making it an enjoyable and suspenseful read? Or any effort at all for the matter? It’s like she wrote it expecting and wanting failure.
As I understood it this is supposed to be romance. How exactly? Because I can’t really see any romance more than sex and marriage for convenience and wealth. That doesn’t even count as romance. There should be an emotional bond between them, and sure that’s what the author tries to convince us there is. But, if she does not show us the emotions and them interacting with each other (except when they are doing the deed) in any emotional or romantic way then we readers aren’t going to believe it either. All I could see was a woman in a economical bad situation taking advantage of a man offering her wealth and an easy life.
Off course I can’t skip over the idiotically unrealism in this story either. First of, just the fact that this story is so rushed and so emotionless makes it very unrelatable and unrealistic. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Why is everyone calling her Cher? Literally everyone? Is it some sort of cultural thing in the area where the story takes place? You know the endearment like honey, sweetheart, baby. They are still okay. Or if she is talking to strangers, maybe no endearment at all? Then we have the details the author did not bother remembering correctly. In the beginning the guy was around his fifties, suddenly in the end he was seventy. “Cher” got her first ride home on his bike after their little love affair and then she suddenly is very excited to be riding a bike for the very first time a few days later. Then we have her little brother Charlie who is supposed to be elven but acts like eight and one day suddenly wakes up with cancer. Never mind that cancer progresses over time, this kid just wakes up having cancer to a dangerous life threatening degree.
At last we have the dumbest of the dumbest (and also the cringeyest). Pleasure giving birth. What the hell is that? Is it supposed to be a joke or is the author’s goal for me to roll my eyes out? While giving birth and having her birth-orgasm, will a unicorn also come into the delivery room and bless her with cupcakes and rainbows? Are we at that level of unrealism as well? While I’m at it, a newborn can’t smile. They haven’t learned that yet, so how does Zare know their baby has her mother’s smile?
I could go on and on about everything that bugged me about this book, but at this point it feels like I give more effs about the story than the author did writing it. And she does not deserve my time since she already wasted it with this book. I will only point out one last thing. Why make this a story about werewolves if there is no scenes about werewolves in it? This was completely and utterly pointless.

the blurb got me interested, and i think there was a lot of potential... unfortunately it wasn’t a hit.
this whole book feels like a published first draft. the multiple time jumps rush the plot so when we actually get a scene with dialogue or whatever, it feels slow and sometimes even boring. i didn’t like the characters and there wasn’t any chemistry between zare and jane so was not rooting for them and did not even care if they end up together or not.
the title is also misleading because she’s not “sold” to the werewolf, she agrees to marry him.
the whole plot is more about jane struggling to earn money to cure her little brother’s cancer, and zare being the head of an old clan and having to deal with his rebellious cousin. if he weren’t a werewolf, the story would have basically been the same but with mafia stuff.
i even think the novel could have been WAY better if there was not this whole werewolf shabang. zane never really used his werewolf powers to accomplish anything a normal human could not have done, and it brought so many mistakes/weird stuff in the plot : for instance, one time zare is 50 and a few weeks later he's 70? either he is aging really fast or that’s a mistake another draft would have fixed. if he has a supernatural identity, make him lift something really heavy or catch something before it falls, make him see in the dark, make him hear jane’s heartbeat or whatever. i know this is cliché, but seeing werewolf powers can be useful at some point would have been great.
plus, when a character becomes a werewolf, zane tells them he will teach them how to deal with their new identity of whatever, but we’ve never seen or heard anyone saying it could be an issue or be dangerous? it’s cliché again, but zane never struggles with the moon, blood, anger management, or being afraid of hurting jane. the only character who struggled with being a werewolf was the first person who turned but for the other werewolves in zane’s pack, the only issue is staying low-key and surviving.
i tried to find something positive to say about this book and... i’d say i like that consent is an important part of their relationship ; zare always makes sure jane is ok with what’s happening and that is what she wants. he also gives her space when she needs it, does not try to keep her locked up in his house, and he understands the way she feels and gives her time to process.
overall, the book was pretty bad, i’ve read better things on wattpad. the most interesting part was the epilogue.

April 8, 2018
A car accident took the lives of Jane and Charlie Sanders' parents.
After the funeral, she discovers that the money of the insurance would not give them to live for long, since much part was to pay debt and the funeral itself.
Jane goes on to work as a waitress in a bar for bikers. No one wanted to give a job to an inexperienced girl.
It's at this bar, Tommy's T Bar, that she meets Zare Mallack, a biker known for walking the wrong side of the law.
On a night when Jane's car battery did not work, Zare offers help. Without having anything to give in return, Jane decides to give vent to the desire that always felt by him, and they have sex in the back of the bar. But in the end, she did not dare to charge him for help. He takes her home on his motorcycle, and in the morning, she sees her car repaired.
Still, after that, they kept a polite distance.
But life seemed to be using Jane only for misfortune and one more bad news comes: her 12-year-old brother is diagnosed with leukemia.
Part of the treatment was paid by health insurance, but Jane needed more hours to get the tips that helped her buy some expensive drugs.
Zare makes a proposal to her: he needed to get married and was a very wealthy man. Of all the women in the bar, she was the only one who worked seriously and did not have sex with any client. He would help her out of that desperate situation.
Jane accepts the offer.
Wedding happens, they travel on the weekend for the honeymoon.
Over time, Jane realizes certain peculiarities in the behavior not only of the husband, but of his family and what he calls "clan".
And then, Zare realizes that Jane was prepared to know the truth: he was part of a race called shifter. A sort of curse had fallen upon his family from his grandfather. And now the clan was split with the possibility that Zare'd tell to the world the truth, a truth the government already knew and used several shifter as weapons in wartime.
There is a thirst for power in the clan leadership.
Brent, Zare's cousin, is in the right to be the alpha and uses Jane as the bargaining chip to get what he wants.
The war begins within the shifter world, while the rest of mankind would digest information that there are other forms of intelligent life.
The plot is very interesting.
The author's writing allows a series of gaps in the narrative, and this makes the reading a bit tiresome and boring.

After the funeral, she discovers that the money of the insurance would not give them to live for long, since much part was to pay debt and the funeral itself.
Jane goes on to work as a waitress in a bar for bikers. No one wanted to give a job to an inexperienced girl.
It's at this bar, Tommy's T Bar, that she meets Zare Mallack, a biker known for walking the wrong side of the law.
On a night when Jane's car battery did not work, Zare offers help. Without having anything to give in return, Jane decides to give vent to the desire that always felt by him, and they have sex in the back of the bar. But in the end, she did not dare to charge him for help. He takes her home on his motorcycle, and in the morning, she sees her car repaired.
Still, after that, they kept a polite distance.
But life seemed to be using Jane only for misfortune and one more bad news comes: her 12-year-old brother is diagnosed with leukemia.
Part of the treatment was paid by health insurance, but Jane needed more hours to get the tips that helped her buy some expensive drugs.
Zare makes a proposal to her: he needed to get married and was a very wealthy man. Of all the women in the bar, she was the only one who worked seriously and did not have sex with any client. He would help her out of that desperate situation.
Jane accepts the offer.
Wedding happens, they travel on the weekend for the honeymoon.
Over time, Jane realizes certain peculiarities in the behavior not only of the husband, but of his family and what he calls "clan".
And then, Zare realizes that Jane was prepared to know the truth: he was part of a race called shifter. A sort of curse had fallen upon his family from his grandfather. And now the clan was split with the possibility that Zare'd tell to the world the truth, a truth the government already knew and used several shifter as weapons in wartime.
There is a thirst for power in the clan leadership.
Brent, Zare's cousin, is in the right to be the alpha and uses Jane as the bargaining chip to get what he wants.

No, she is not sold. She agrees on a marriage of convenience. Wolves lives in packs, not clans. Is he on his 50s or 70s? He admired her until she offer her body to him for a car battery. He was disappointed but had sex with her anyway. A werewolf alpha who needs a wife, not a mate or a luna. Please do the werewolf folklore right. What kind of alpha wolf lets someone get kidnapped from under his nose (literally because he didn’t smell the intruder and needed a freaking text message to find his scheming cousin got her. He can smell the cancer in the boy but not the intruder who roamed in the house. Never mind she was already threatened by the same guy). Then it takes months to bring down his enemies while a) she ran away and used cash only but forgot about damn login pin locations, school and medical records and b) she comes back to him only to get stuck inside a basement for a whole pregnancy. No prenatal care I guess?
How can a boy go for healthy one day and sick with cancer the next? She didn’t see anything in his arms to cause pain and hours later his body is riddled with scary bruises? And while on Medicaid, he gets diagnosed, hospitalized and gets a whole treatment plan going within hours. I’m not American but yet even I know these things are not done so fast unless you have private care.
Then, the characters fall on the flat side. No in-depth personality traits. And not a single mention to the dead parents on her wedding or when she gives birth.
Normally I’m a fan of werewolf romance but this one just didn’t cut. Besides, the actual werewolf part is so insignificant that it could be a mafia romance in fact. We don’t get to see the wolves, there’s no pack hierarchy, nothing.

As others have said, the title does not fit the story. It should be titled She Sold Herself to the Werewolf. But thats the least of the books problems. Charlie was the best character of this story. Such a strong little boy. As far as Jane and Zare's story goes, it was not believable. Even for a PNR. I have to say that Zare was the weakest alpha I have ever read about. Definitely a different PNR. I did not believe he was strong enough to be alpha. He allowed his wife to be kidnapped. I know you're thinking how could it be his fault. Jane told him Brent's threat on their wedding day. All Zare said was that he would keep an eye on him. If he was a stronger alpha, no one would have dared to threaten his wife, let a lone kidnap her from her home while he's there in another room. Unbelievable. Zare was definitely sweet. The story was oh so sweet but just unbelievable and boring. Story started out with the accountant and the biker. Ended with werewolves snitching on their suppliers and working with government agencies to take down the bad werewolves in his clan. Ridiculous. The writing style was not to my liking. Ms. Cooper switched from Jane to Zare so quickly, I would have to reread lines to make sure I knew which character was speaking. There were some good points. Hence the two stars. Story definitely needs to be reworked. I am in the minority so give it a try.

DNF 17% it had me until...
I liked the premise and the way it started. There was a lot of sadness and heartbreak, but it made you root for her and her brother all the more and appreciate her friend. But then she started bashing welfare, which was created for situations she is in, saying she is too good. But when her car battery dies and the sexy biker who barely acknowledges her asks if she needs help, her first thought is to sleep with him so he'll buy her a battery. So much of this makes no sense: she could have asked for a jump or a ride home. Batteries can run between $50-$150 depending on the brand and type and where you buy it. Typically quick "transactions" like she wanted with him run about $20, maybe a little more, I've never been in that situation and can't give menu prices. But once was definitely not going to cover an "expensive" battery, his words not mine, so what was she thinking? Oh, she was thinking about trying out some moves she's seen in pornos because those are so accurate😒. I just couldn't. It made her seem like she had a good head on her shoulders, but then she acted like a clueless idiot. Seriously, she could have offered to clean his house, anything, but her first thought is let's try out some porn material behind my workplace. I hope it got better, but I don't have time to waste on idiots and their porn moves.

The characters were likeable and tons of chemistry between the two. The plot was good and had some action involved too. Which I always love. The title is a little misleading because Jane was never really bought. Mainly just promises between the two. The downside with this story was some points that were confusing or did not add up. The heroines name is Jane and several times in the beginning she was called Cher. Was that a nickname? The name Cher just randomly disappeared and it was Jane from there out. Also, Zare took her home one night on his bike. The next chapter he picks her up on his bike and she tells him she's never been on one before?!?...umm okay. Other than that it was an okay quick read.

Liked it - Thrust into the guardianship of her brother after their parents' sudden deaths, Jane is at her wit's end trying to care for him. One decision born of desperation brings her to Zare's attention. Attention that turns into a marriage of convenience for them both. She needs money to care for little Charlie and he needs a wife to solidify his Alpha position. When Jane is abducted by dissenting pack members, he will move Heaven and Earth to bring her safely back to his side. This is a good shifter story, one of several I have read by this prolific author of short romances with bite, sass and heat. The MCs are both likeable, their attraction instant, their connection passion-fueled. I must say the story would have been better for me if I had been able to experience the wolves as their primal selves. It is a shifter story. Also, the dispatch of the baddies was too quick for all the pain they caused Jane.

I didn't particularly enjoy this book. Both the characters and the plot felt underdeveloped. The female main character's attitude seemed inconsistent, which I found off-putting and I just didnt take to her. Some plot points were far-fetched they put me off (×× spoilers ahead ××) for instance, a Dr telling guardians they suspected cancer just based on bruises and before confirming anything via blood work and the FMC having the ability to drive for 48 hours straight after sustaining severe injuries like broken bones and losing consciousness is just not realistic. Also, perhaps it's due to this being an ARC, but I noticed a lack of trigger warnings for the on page physical assault and attempted SA of the FMC.
Overall I just wasn't a fan but that's not to say it won't be some else's cup of tea it just wasn't for me. The author has a large back catalogue of interesting looking titles and I'll probably try one of them.

The book's title is a little misleading, but there is a deal made that involves a transaction. This is the story of Zare and Jane. They both have something the other needs, and when they are in the same room for the first time, they instantly catch each other's eyes.
I like how Summer Cooper wrote about Zare's feelings when for the first time he thought that Jane could be his mate that his pack demanded him to take.
"He'd developed a soft spot for the quiet woman and a fascination with her. All those times she thought he hadn't seen her watching him he'd known. He'd felt her gaze, and a part of him had yearned for her. But she wasn't the rough and tumble kind he was used to. Maybe she was exactly what he needed." (23% Kindle edition)
Summer Cooper has written a shifter novella, that has a lot of going on. There are tragic events that leave the heroine no choice but do whatever she has to make ends meet. There is broody, sexy as hell man that turns out to be a werewolf by his other nature. There is kidnapping, fights, leaving in the dead of night...
I liked the characters a lot, and also the world building is something that I enjoyed, especially how there are many ways for one to become a werewolf.
The only thing that I wished for was more pages because now there were so many events crammed into a novella length story and few more chapters would have done the timeline and the character development justice.

This is the second book that I read from this author. Each book, in my opinion, could have used a better title and a better cover. Sold To The Werewolf is not a story about someone "sold" to a werewolf as the title implies nor is it about the chiseled male body depicted on the front. The story is about Jane and Zare and their marriage of convenience.
I liked Sold to a Werewolf but I feel that this novella should have been a novel to provide a better time continuity and a more developed plot. Ms. Cooper is a talented, upcoming author. She writes great dialog and steamy sex scenes—Jane and Zare have depth and interact well—but needs to work on the story arc including not rushing the ending.
If you are really into reading about werewolves, you may be disappointed with the way this story merely flitters around the edges of the genre. If you are into romances, this book provides a good love story with steamy sex scenes.

A Bold, Emotional, and Unexpectedly Tender Shifter Romance
Sold to the Werewolf pulled me in from the first page and didn’t let go. Jane’s determination to protect her brother at any cost made her such a relatable and strong heroine, while Zare’s mix of danger, loyalty, and hidden tenderness made him the perfect balance of alpha and heart. Their arrangement starts out as a desperate deal but slowly transforms into something deeper, filled with emotional tension and genuine connection.
I really enjoyed how the story blended werewolf elements with real human struggles—family, sacrifice, and learning to trust again. It’s fast-paced, passionate, and surprisingly heartfelt. Summer Cooper delivers another captivating shifter romance that’s perfect for readers who love protective heroes, emotional stakes, and a touch of the supernatural.

A year filled with loss, poverty, abduction, attempted rape, beatings, running and hiding and so much more.
Jane definitely hasn't had it easy. From losing her parents and becoming the guardian to her brother o my to find herself in more debt. Evicted from their home she is forced to try to survive and keep Charlie healthy and cared for after the leukemia added another thing on Janes overflowing plate.
Now Zare has watched Jane and just may be the answer to her prayers. A nice rich, sweet, compassionate male who needs a wife.
His wolf has already claimed her but can she handle his secret and more importantly can he keep her safe.
I received this from instafeebie. I really enjoyed the story. It flowed nicely, I loved the characters, and the intimate scenes were writing well. Not too much but enough to keep with the flow.
