Wolf-shifter Lori Grenville was rescued from near-slavery and a brutal pack leader by the Free Wolves. To pay back the favor, she's dedicated her life to helping others in the same situation, leading shifters to safety and a new start, risking her life in the process. She's faced down alphas and has no qualms in undermining pack structure.
Now she's challenged with the task of restoring an alpha to his rightful place. If she gets it right, she can stop a war from ripping apart two packs and spreading across an entire state. If she fails, she'll be among the first to die.
There's still the option of walking away and letting the Jaeger and Destin packs destroy each other. That means she'll fail in her original mission of rescuing the daughter of the Jaeger alpha before the girl is forced into marriage for political gain.
Lori hasn't failed in a mission yet. This one may be the exception.
Although this is the third book in the Free Wolves series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
A surprisingly interesting read. I loved the blurb for this specific story, but didn't have much interest in the blurbs from other books in this Free Wolves series, but I was intrigued by Lori's character and the plot, which didn't disappoint. I liked her strength and wit, as well as the subtle (and not so subtle) relationships between the central characters. I'll definitely read more by this author and will hope the author does another book focused around Lori and her new partner (no names, don't want to spoil it). An author to follow, as she weaves a great tale.
There is plenty of action for the action lovers, and this is definitely not one of the typical shifter books that have flooded the market. The author brings in a refreshing concept and a fiesty and strong heroine. I personally prefer more romance and a bit more heat in my reads, but the right two people were put together.
I look forward to more from this author, and when I get some extra time, the other books in this series are now on my TBR list.
