All Jeanie Moon has to show for the last twenty-five years of her life is a divorce that left her broke with terrible credit, and a desire to never be in a relationship again. When her twenty-something neighbor gives her a coupon for a free VIP tour at a safari park, she decides there are worse ways to spend a Friday afternoon.

Alpha wolf Joss isn’t interested in anything but the Amazing Adventures Safari Park he and his pack call home – that and keeping their shifter abilities a secret from humans. He’s happy when one of his males finds a soulmate, but none of his people have found their mate with the help of the VIP tours which were designed to bring in potential mates. When he’s called to the tour desk to settle an issue with someone using another person’s ticket, he’s in for the shock of his life when he discovers his soulmate is the one holding the ticket.

Joss knows that taking a human as his mate means his alphaship is in jeopardy, but he won’t give Jeanie up without a fight, even if it means facing off against the one male he never thought he’d see again...his brother.

Just like the other books in the series I love the fact that there are different species of shifters all together, living in a zoo. Their main goal right now is to find their mates. They set up the private tours and VIP tickets to bring human women through the park hoping one of them will be theirs. Jeanie was given a ticket by her neighbor across the hall. Why not? All she has to show for the last 25 years is being seriously in debt from her ex-husband. When she got there she was so embarrassed to find out that she might not be able to go in due to her age. The VIP tickets were very specific to the person they were sent to. Alpha wolf Joss was having no part of that. He knew the minute he saw her that she was his. At his age he never thought it would happen. They are meant for each other, but there are secrets that must be told, and unknown danger that will make an appearance. I love that happily ever after of the stories.,

Absolutely Captivating

I absolutely enjoy reading this story it's fascinating with awesome characters that are charming and believable and very entertaining. This is definitely a magnificent series and Jose is very suspenseful with just the right amount of drama, their relationship is emotional with sizzling hot passion. This is a unforgettable heartwarming story that you will find it's hard to put your reader down without finishing their story so if you enjoy a exciting paranormal romance then you will definitely enjoy this one. Actually I have enjoyed all nine books in this series so if it's your first that's okay because each book can be read out of order and you will find that each one is absolutely amazing and you may be like myself and read them twice because they are such a thrilling experience.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Joss is book nine in the ‘’were zoo’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Having lost all of his family, Joss holds no hope about finding his soul mate. After a rough divorce, Jeanie isn’t looking for love. When her friend gifts her a voucher for a safari tour, she doesn’t expect to meet Joss. Jeanie wasn’t supposed to have the voucher but Joss is ecstatic she did.
The chemistry between Jeanie and Joss is clear to see and I liked them as a couple. They’re cute together.
I really liked the ending if this book.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

An almost insta-love romance!
There are a couple of things I especially enjoy about this story.
1 ) The soulmate bond with shifters means instant recognition of their mate. Joss knows immediately when he meets Jeanie. Even though she’s human, she senses the ‘draw’ as well.
2 ) Both Joss and Jeanie are in their 40s, previously mated/married. It’s a second chance at happiness for each of them.
Even though their budding relationship moves along swiftly and smoothly, there are still some serious hurdles to master. It’s a very exciting and enjoyable romance!

An alpha finds his soulmate!

A human woman is given a ticket for a VIP safari tour that her friend had received in the mail. The friend couldn't use it on the dates that the ticket was for. When she arrives at the safari park for the tour her name doesn't match the name on the ticket. She hears the two guys handling the tickets say that she is too old. They call their boss to come take care of the problem. You will have to read the book to find out what all happens with everyone. A really great book!

Joss and Jeanie are a perfect addition to the Were-Zoo series. Joss is the first Alpha to find his soulmate through the VIP tours and boy is he excited! He works hard to approach Jeanie in the right way since all he’s ever known is mating among the wolf shifters. He impressed me that he made an effort to talk to the human mates. Jeanie is sweet and caring. I liked that she found such inner strength. There are a few bad guys to deal with but Joss and Jeanie do it standing together.

Another Awesome Read!!

Loved how things turned out for Joss and Jeanie, J&J😊. But the path going forward was like threading on water..And a betrayal that happens the way it did here was so not right. But Joss as Alpha did his duty and won the challenge, and Jeanie oh sweet Jeanie did well as Alpha female. Oh I just love a happy ending, but do we really have to wait a whole year for Neo's story..big fan as always Winzie19☺💞.

Very Good!

This book was very good in the plot, the fight scene & the 1 & only sex scene.

Joss the Wolf Alpha finally meets his soulmate & he’s happy that he’s meeting her. But, some of his pack aren’t happy & decide to bring his exiled brother back to fight Joss for the Alpha position.

As this is a HEA book we all know that Joss ends up winning but, you should read the book to form your own opinion.

Damn that was a little unexpected toward the end. It was really good but I do have 1 unanswered question. Josh ad a really hard life. He maybe the alpha of the wolf but him losing just about all of his family would b hard on anyone. But a unexpected thing happened 2 him and it was 2 fully bloom into sumthing wonderful if things go as planned. Even with a few small setbacks can he get the future he's dreamed about 4 so long? Read it and find out.

I love this addition to the series. Jeanie was a divorced woman in her 40's and was a strong character that was perfect for an alpha wife. She is still young enough that I can't help but wonder if she might not have a child in a future book. Whether or not she does, she and Joss will be wonderful together.

Omg Joss is such a hot alpha wolf shifter and Jeanie is a human female that has a ticket and the story picks up fast from there great mate to lover story. I really enjoyed the interaction between the characters the trails they face to gain their happy ending is worth the wait I really enjoyed this book series.

Joss

This latest book in the series is Joss, who is the alpha of the wolf pack, and Jeanie who is given a VIP pass to the zoo by her friend. A mating with a human is okay as long as you aren't the alpha. Now Joss is in for an unexpected visitor and challenge that may ruin everything, including his and his mate's lives. Very well written! I really love this series.

Joss and Jeanie

Joss is the Alpha of the wolves. Jeanie is a human. Joss meets Jeanie when she comes to the park for a VIP tour. He knows immediately that she is his soulmate. There is a scuffle. Loved this one. So glad thankEd was able to finally be happy. I had no idea he had such a sad life. Jeanie also has a sad background but she is happy now. Can't wait for the next one.

Love Joss!

It was FANTASTIC reading about an Alpha finding his mate, especially Joss. He’s had so much pain and sadness in his life that meeting his soulmate seemed like Karma giving back. I loved every second of it and would absolutely recommend it to everyone

It's a hard knock life

The alpha wolf has had a hard life. But his other half is about to bring him all the joy and love that he deserves. I hope more of the VIP tours bring in soulmates.
