I love love this book! This book features the youngest Troika, Kosta and his leading lady. Kosta and Heli were equally as entertaining as the first couple Max and Gal, and if anything a bit more drama because unlike Max and Gal, Kost and Heli are already in a relationship- sort of. Well at least Heli knows that they have something more than a casual thing, Kosta however wants to believe otherwise. Things in wolfkind world are changing and much has to do with Kosta's older brothers that have set things in motion, impacting not just wolves but also the humans close to them. Kosta senses the doom that is near and takes it upon himself to right the wrongs that have hit the Troikas. Little does he know that Heli will not let him go on this solo mission alone. Heli is nothing short of stubborn brave and careless, but above all devoted to keeping those she loves safe. Soon enough Kosta and Heli find themselves in the middle of a monumental crossfire and they will have to surrender to each other to find their true strength. I loved this book and have already downloaded the next book in the series.

This one is a little less silly than the first. More plot, lots of spice. Good characters, awful bad guys and lots of woman power. Glad to see fat shaming wolves get their butts handed to them.

You meet Heli and Kosta in Dirty Wolf. This is not a standalone book, you’ll be confused if you don’t read book 1.
The author tried way too hard to make Heli this super quirky and “totally unlike any other girl”. It started to take away her likability because I wanted to roll my eyes more than I wanted to read about her. The curvy girl description wasn’t as well done as it was in Dirty Wolf for Gal. Heli is just all about baking, chocolate, and always needing a snack…. Because she’s just so quirky. It was disappointing to go from a positively queen curvy girl character to one that just fit into stereotypes.
”The two things holding Heli's head above drowning in fear and depression were chocolate chips and orgasms.”
This book was a lot shorter, at only 124 pages. That’s the perfect length for a novella, but the author tried to fit way too much. There wasn’t enough time to truly develop the plot and meet your new villains. It felt so rushed especially because there was absolutely enough content to turn this into a 200+ page book. Mariyana was such a great character that wasn’t done justice. I loved reading about her when she came up, but she definitely didn’t get the time she deserved.
I wish there was more romantic angst. Kosta feels like he can’t be with Heli. We get some inner dialogue reflecting this, but then he’s putty in her hand the moment they’re together. Now that wouldn’t be a problem, except the author put so much influence on the fact that Kosta can’t be with her. This would’ve been much more believable if the angst was woven in there better.
”He was going to kill her. First he was going to kiss her, and then he was going to kill her.”
Now the mushy good stuff:
In all, Dirty Wolf is the must read, but you’d be fine if you stopped there. I plan on reading the next book about Niko, Kinky Wolf. It’s another short one but I’m excited to see what comes next for the Troika brothers!

I really just don't understand why he didn't just tell his brother from the start, there was no reason not to have the pack's help in planning to go under cover. Ultimately, not enough time was spent on developing the relationship between the main characters, and I just don't care about the pack politics; but it was short, so here we are.

I didn't feel the chemistry as much with this one as I did with the couple in book 1, but I still enjoyed Kosta and Heli's relationship. I will definitely continue to read this series and this author. Love me some werewolves!

Learning who you really are
When someone you love with your whole heart believes in you, how can you do anything but believe in yourself as well. The author took us on a long journey with this book, we got to watch a relationship grow and see a man finally accept the truth about himself. It might have taken him a while, but by the time you reach the HEA you will see how having Heli believe in him finally gets Kosta to realize who he truly is. I just know you guys are going to love this book as much as I did. I’m already anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

Man they really need to have half stars on GoodReads. … This is really a 3.5 star book. I read about half way through and just stopped … There were a few quotes that made me chuckle.
July 1, 2023
Why was this one better than the first? There was actually a lot more plot that made it more enjoyable to listen to. The writing was marginally better in this one as well. I didn't love the like overprotective boyfriend thing, but did love how Heli was like hell no and handled herself. The spicy scenes were better than 'Dirty Wolf' but there was overuse of the word 'cunt' which made me super uncomfortable. Heli is a really strong character and her chapters were enjoyable to listen to.
Below I have included some of my favorite quotes (note that they do not have page numbers because they were transcribed from the unabridged audiobook).
"his voice was low and growly when he was in his wolf form and it did exciting things to her girly bits."
"and her flirtability went from on fire to burned up in the garbage in a flash. Seeing him naked with those six thousand pack abs, that v of muscles at his hips that should be illegal and his cock all hard for her. Wait, what was she saying?"
"he was super fit, she was plump and the only running she did was to the grocery store."
"while she knew she was cute and had great boobs, she wasn't a 10. He was smoking and was like an eleventy hundred on the hotness scale"
"her orgasm struck with the power of a 7.1 earthquake."
"she was officially changing his nickname in her mind from 'Underwear King' to 'Douche Potato King'"
"Cookies are not steak. Either you learn how to grill up some prime USDA Grade A beef or you get to be on cleaning crew with miss green-thumb-up-her-ass"

I received an advanced copy from the author for my honest review. Naughty Wolf is the second book in this amazing series. Kosta still can't believe that his brother Max has mated Gal who is a human... he likes her, but their kind just doesn't mate humans! It is against the rules to even let them know they exist and now there are wolves mating humans....it's just not done. Don't get him wrong he REALLY likes Heli, heck he is crazy about her but he will not mate her...nope not gonna do it!! Heli is glad she has Kosta, well him and lots of chocolate chips for baking cookies or else she would go crazy worrying about her sister. Whenever Heli sees Kosta she melts, he is her rock, well until he gets some hair brain idea in his head.... Lord save women from men who think they can save the world. When things don't go the way, as usual, they are planned and Heli is in danger will Kosta finally pull his head out of the dark cavern of his behind and realize that she is mate no matter wolf or human? I LOVE THIS SERIES AND CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!!!!! A DEFINITE MUST READ!!!!!

Gestaltwandler-Reihe mit Spannung, Humor und Liebe
Inhalt siehe Klappentext.
Content Note:
Gewalt/Kämpfe, Verlust
Meinung:
Das ist der 2. Teil der Reihe. Das Pärchen steht im Mittelpunkt, die wichtigsten Informationen werden genannt. Das Buch lässt sich gut ohne Kenntnis des Vorgängerbandes lesen, aber da es einen die Bücher überspannenden Handlungsbogen gibt, empfiehlt es sich für das volle Lesevergnügen und -verständnis die Reihenfolge einzuhalten.
Der bildhafte Schreibstil liest sich leicht und flüssig, die Seiten fliegen nur so dahin. Das Buch ist aus der dritten Erzähl-Perspektive von Heli und Kosta geschrieben, so dass man ihre Gedanken und Gefühle hautnah miterleben kann.
Die authentischen und meistens sympathischen Charaktere sind mit ihren Stärken und Schwächen sowie Gefühlen für die Kürze der Geschichte sehr gut dargestellt und beschrieben worden, so dass ich nicht anders konnte, als mit ihnen mitzufühlen und mitzufiebern. Die Nebencharaktere sind gut bis sehr gut dargestellt worden, vor allem Helis Freundinnen und die Familie von Kosta.
Die körperliche Anziehung zwischen Heli und Kosta ist spürbar, die erotischen Szenen sind heiß und ansprechend geschrieben. Leider kam mir aber die emotionale Nähe zu kurz. Der Schlagabtausch der beiden sorgt für einige Lacher. Genervt war ich von den Alleingängen von Heli und Kostas, vor allem wenn sie sich als Mensch mitten in ein gegnerisches Rudel von Wölfen begibt… Wie im ersten Teil kommen der Humor und die Spannung nicht zu kurz. Die Nebencharaktere runden die Geschichte gut ab und machen neugierig auf ihre Geschichten, auch da der Handlungsbogen in den Folgebänden sicher weitergespannt wird, da einige Fragen offengeblieben sind.
Insgesamt eine gute Fortsetzung der Gestaltwandler-Reihe mit Spannung, Humor und Liebe, so dass es aufgrund der oben genannten Kritikpunkte gute 3 von 5 Sternen gibt und eine Leseempfehlung für Gestaltwandler-Fans.

"Naughty Wolf: Ein kurviges Mädchen und Werwolf Liebesroman" ist der zweite Teil der "Wölfe lieben Kurven" Reihe. Jeder Teil ist zwar abgeschlossen, es geht in jedem um einen anderen Wolf und seine Seelengefährtin, allerdings ist die Grundgeschichte nicht abgeschlossen sondern wird fortgesetzt.
Wie auch schon beim ersten Teil kam bei diesem Cover einfach auch mein innerer Wolf wieder zum Vorschein. Grrr... Werwölfe waren bisher nie so meine Favoriten, ich war doch eher im Team Vampir, doch diese Reihe hat mich eines besseren belehrt und die Werwölfe sind in meine Topliga aufgestiegen. Bei diesem tollen Büchern aber auch kein Wunder, man muss diese heißen Werwölfe einfach lieben.
Ich habe es mir abends mit diesem Buch gemütlich gemacht und wollte eigentlich nur nochmal ein wenig reinlesen. Tja, was soll ich sagen, beim reinlesen ist es nicht geblieben. Ich war vom ersten Moment an in dem Buch versunken und habe es tatsächlich geschafft es in einem Rutsch durchzulesen. Das Setting das die Autorin hier erschaffen hat, ist mal wieder etwas ganz anderes und hat mir wieder großen Spaß bereitet. Jetzt bin ich schon ganz neugierig darauf auch die Geschichte des dritten Troika Bruders kennenzulernen.
Der Schreibstil der Autorin mach wirklich großen Spaß. Er ist flüssig, locker und leicht. Einmal damit angefangen ging es viel zu schnell zu Ende. Dankeschön das ich es lesen durfte.
Um sein Rudel zu retten, geht Kosta ein großes Risiko ein und verrät alles woran er bisher geglaubt hat. Auch mit Heli beendet er seine Beziehung, doch so leicht wird er sie nicht los und eigentlich möchte er da ja auch gar nicht.

OMG!!!!!
Another book with a Troika Brother is down!! The plot gets interesting and thrilling all the way more!!
So Kosta Troika.. well that man holds my heart's beat like it's his favorite toy to play with.. Oh my gawwdddd.. The sexy times between Heli and Kosta right from the start is too hawwttt🔥 Heli becoming Kosta's mate for the first and the emotions following it were so cute and sweet😋 And the scene where Kosta realises he's also a born alpha and surges forward with both his brothers at his back was such an beautiful scene 😍 And Heli.. damn that girl was sooo good and brave and trusting.. she trusted Kosta with everything that she is 😘 And finally her last vision on the book, that becoming a wolf one.. and actually becoming one in front of her mate.. that scene was toooo cute 😍🤗 Like "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww" level cute..
This book is based on trust between two people who are fated and how they grow into themselves and with each other! It is also about absolute loyalty and love and the sacrifice of leaving everything you knew behind to protect them from the harm ahead.. It is a really good read ❤️
But the book also contains certain holes in it.. like what happens when Heli comes back with Selena? How Niko got stuck with Decker? What are Mariya and Selena had been planning? How Max changed his mind about Kosta? And so much more..
I'm really hoping that most of these questions gets answered in the next book...🙈
I can't wait to see how Niko gets Zara back after all that they've gone through!!! 🙈

Better than the first book, but wow, I didn't realize how short it was until I started writing this review. Again, I didn't read the blurb when I borrowed the audiobook. Now that I've read it, the blurb didn't really make sense. "Naughty crush" gives the impression that he was pining from afar, but Kosta and Heli had been intimate since the first book.
Heli came across weak at first, but when push came to shove, she stood her ground and stayed on Kosta's side. This is not a spoiler, but in the beginning of the book, I thought she might have been a mind-reader. But it would not have made sense to have abilities before she was mated to a wolf.
Kosta was an interesting character. He needed to make everyone believe that he was abandoning his pack. I didn't really believe that he tried. Yes, he left the pack, but who was to say it was for good? Just because he wasn't answering the calls from his alpha? That part of the story didn't make sense to me. And because the story was so short, the reader just had to take the author's word for it that Kosta somehow fooled the other alpha into thinking he really did desert his own pack.
I gave this book an extra star only because there was more story building and less sex. Although that was more explosive than the first one, which was also a nice improvement.
I'm waiting for my turn to listen to the third book. I can't say I'm looking forward to it because both the characters already hate themselves or have given up based on their behavior in this book.

This is a continuation of the series which started with Dirty Wolf but can be read as a stand alone. Naughty Wolf is the story of wolf shifter Kosta and feisty human Heli. Kosta is the youngest brother who never aspired to being an alpha but seems to have a bit of a hero’s complex. He’s in love with a human but hasn’t really figured this out since he always believed that humans and wolves aren’t supposed to mate. His brother mated a human, who became a shifter after he bit her, but Kosta thinks that was special/unique and that he should break it off with the human he is seeing because 1. He needs her and everyone else to think that he is betraying the pack and 2. There is no future for them because he can’t possibly love and mate a human.
I love that Heli and Kosta’s mom are strong and smart and dont’ fall for his thinking/plans; however, I was a little disappointed in his brother, Max, who appeared to believe the worst. This is worth a read to see how these strong women complement Kosta’s actions/choices and of course you can’t forget the pretzel ring; what a great way to improvise. Also memorable is the “douchepotato king” and his just rewards. Definitely worth a read to see where this all leads although I am now looking forward to Kosta’s oldest brother’s story after he has made appearances in both Max and Kosta’s stories.
I received an ARC from the author for an honest review.

Kidnapping
Trafficking
Kosta (mmc, wolf)
Heli (mfc, human)
Kosta is at the mating ceremony of his brother, a wolf, and his brother's mate, a human. It goes against everything he was taught to believe in and hold dear. Everything had changed when his oldest brother Niko was accused of killing the Tzar, then reported dead. It started a war. Niko is back from the dead, but only in body. He's changed, and Kosta doesn't know what to do. Heli, a human who is friends with his brother's mate, is also confused. Up until the war, Heli and Kosta had been having a casual affair. Then the war happened, Heli's sister was kidnapped, and now nothing is the same. Kosta has been invited to join a rival pack. If he can sell this betrayal to his family, he can take down the pack before they cause problems for his family. The Bay pack has taken Heli, though. Can he save them both? Can he step up and take the reins?
This one didn't really answer any questions left by book 1, but it did leave a lot more questions. The more I read, the more confusing these books become. I hope Niko's story answers at least the question of what happened to him.

This book is a continuation of what happens after Dirty Wolf and is the story of Kosta (Max's younger brother) and Heli (Zara's little sister). Kosta thinks that he is no Alpha and he is not sure that he can accept the fact that Max has made it acceptable for Troika werewolves to mate with humans. After the mating ceremony, Kosta comes across two enforcers from a rival pack.

To me, this author’s shifter stories are wonder-filled adult fairy tales. Each one she publishes seems better and more entertaining than the last. But I know this is not true because, as I go back and re-read them multiple times, I find myself thinking “yes, that one was the best one yet!” Take it from me, they’re all fun, spicy, excellent reads. The latest addition to Aidy Award’s shifter world is Naughty Wolf, the story of wolf-shifter Kosta and his lady, Heli. So cute how he denies wanting anything more with her than just “sexy times,” (as Aidy would say)! As if Heli is not the best candidate for wolf-mate! He may not want to risk taking a human as mate, but Kosta risks his life and his family ties over and over, as he goes undercover to defeat the forces threatening his pack, their territory, the entire Troika family and his lady. Time and again, he shows his willingness to sacrifice himself for his ideals. Naughty wolf? I’d say valorous wolf! I am eagerly looking forward to the next book! I am also biting my nails with worry for Kosta’s elder brother Niko, and Heli’s elder sister Zara, both of whom are in jeopardy.

Naughty and stubborn
Naughty Wolf (Alpha Wolves Want Curves Book 2) by Aidy Award is a well written paranormal romance with equal parts wit and suspense. I am always truly entertained by this author and she was on a roll with Kosta and Heli.
These two wonderful characters are dynamite together, stubborn as all get out and in denial. Fate, circumstances, timing and a little bit of pack matriarchal interference takes care of that whole denial issue. Heli finds herself in all kinds of dangerous as deeply as Kosta implanted himself. Along with the gripping plot, these two definitely keep things interesting.
Overall, a very exciting, super steamy, highly entertaining paranormal romance with a guaranteed HEA and an ending that promises more. Needless to say, Kinky Wolf is on my TBR list!

December 4, 2021New couple, same problems
I liked the story of this one better than the first book, but I liked the story arc less. What I mean by that is I've come to realize that I don't like books where there is an overarching problem that each book in the series gets progressively more tied up in. I want standalone books in the same world. I loved that even though Kosta says he has to make everyone believe he is betraying those he loves, never once do the reader think that. If this book had been written that way, I would have stopped reading before I got started. I love that Heli very quickly realizes Kosta's motives for breaking up with her and won't allow that to happen. I wish Kosta had seen the value in allowing Heli to be at his side much more quickly, but then... guys are blind sometimes.

Kosta and Heli have had an on again off again relationship. Kosta is just having fun and has no intention of turning this into a permanent thing. Kosta is trying to help save his pack and insure the future for all wolves. He must convince his family he is betraying them if anyone else is going to believe him. Heli is searching for her sister who was kidnapped. When Kosta and Heli end up in the same place can they defeat the Bay Pack and rescue Zara?
Loving this fun shifter/curvy girl series. The Troika's are sexy wolves who fall hard for the curvy girls who catch their eye. Love Selena the Troika pack matriarch. She is a tough, take no prisoner kind of woman with a huge heart. Aidy Award writes such fun, sexy curvy girl romances. Looking forward to book 3.

A sinful delight..
The story of Kosta and Heli takes naughtiness to a whole new level. This couple are perfect for each other. Heli is brazen and more times than none she puts her bunny slippers into her mouth. Kosta is definitely all growly alpha wolf but he is struggling in believing that he is worthy to be the alpha male to lead the Troika pack.
Everything comes to a head when the brunt of the Troika pack being saved from other cutthroat packs falls on Kosta's head. Kosta also is desperate to protect Heli at all costs. This story has many surprises that will keep you enticed to bulldoze through the story to see what happens next. I was totally left spellbound and bewitched with this story from Chapter one.

This book is about Kosta and Heli. Kosta is a wolf shifter in the Troika pack who is seeing a human. His brother from the last book took one as a mate and his pack is fighting for human and wolf relations. Heli is the sister Zara and the friend to the main characters in the last book as well as Kosta girlfriend. She is determined to find her sister he is determined to keep her out of trouble. They both get into a whole mess of trouble with other packs and other alphas. She does find her sister and he does realize she is his true mate.
I love that the wolves mate with humans and pass on abilities or even the ability to change to a wolf shifter in these stories. The fact that the author uses main characters that are curvy is fantastic as well. Her stories are steamy, romantics, and usually contain some sort of action and adventure.

Attention grabbing
This is a sexy romp with more than a bit of danger. The author manages to intersect Kosta's and Heli's plans with skill and humor. Every obstacle they meet adds to the suspense; the constant shifts from friend to foe also maintain tension. The final (?) conflict is well-conceived and packed with twists. I especially appreciated the surfeit of strong, take-charge females; Selena, Mariya, and Violet are enigmas with more to reveal, and I suspect that Ramsey is going to discover the same about Taryn...and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy! Now, I can't wait to learn what happened to Zara and Niko!

⭐️⭐️.5
This is the second book in the series, following Kosta and Heli.
I can say I liked this book better than the first. There were less cheesy lines, notice I didn’t say they were completely missing. But I think that maybe I just have a twisted mind. I’m not wholesome. Idk. But sometimes I question if I’m too jaded or some of the one liners are too childish (see my notes).
The story follows the overarching plot between the series. And I feel like that is the forefront of this story. It left a lot to be desired for the actual relationship building. It’s a short book. So perhaps more could have been spent on it. Meh. I’ll read the thirds cause I want to see what happens with Niko

Another great book by Aidy Award who once again brings a multitude of strong characters and an entertaining story line. She takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride reading Heli and Kosta's story. Their connection is strong and their chemistry sizzles. She does a great job building their relationship and leading them to their HEA. It's well written ,moves quickly and smoothly and I enjoyed reading. I'm looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

I loved this story! Heli is a character that you will love right from the start, she's an everyday kind of girl, you know, steady and easy to get to know. the relationship that builds between her and Kroika is cute and intense, the action builds, and the characters grow, and through it all, you know that she loves her guy no matter what. She is impulsive and puts herself in danger, but that just feeds the suspense of the story. It was a fun read, a great way to spend a rainy afternoon, and makes me want to read the rest of the books in this series too!
