Savage

Wolf Ranch #4

by Renee Rose, Vanessa Vale

Pack Rule #4: Guard your pups with your life

We hooked up one night at Cody’s Saloon.
The beautiful nurse wanted a ride and I’d given it to her.
Made her scream and sent her home happy.
She didn’t tell me there’d been consequences.
She’d kept her secret close. For months.
But what she didn’t know could change everything.
That baby she carried wasn’t human.
And this wolf would never walk away from his pup.
She may not want me in her life, but that was too bad.
I was moving in—watching over her and providing for my family.
She was under my protection now.
Whether she wanted it or not.
Whether she wanted me or not.

My favorite of the WOLF RANCH series so far... 5 stars!

Even though I don't usually enjoy or even pick up books with the 'secret baby' trope, I absolutely loved this book! I wasn't expecting Clint to be a shifter enforcer, a secret mercenary who maintained the peace and kept the secrets of the shifter world. Becky was his perfect mate in that both were hoping for a family but doubted they would ever find one for themselves. Their courtship was so delicious in its hardships, which were believable, and its resolution, and I didn't mind that Becky didn't immediately tell Clint about their baby because it made sense (to her). Clint handled it better than I thought, but their love was anything but smooth sailing from there on.

I have come to really enjoy and love these books so much, and I highly recommend them if you're looking for alpha male shifters going after what they want despite the world telling them to back off. Up next is FIERCE, Levi's story ♡

[Carmen Rae · Rating 4 out of 5]

I started this series on a whim and devoured the first three books and thought that was it. So naturally when I saw book four was out, I one clicked it. Then I read the blurb. And honestly, I was nervous. The other three were insta love/ fated mates and this one was whoops baby so I wasn't sure what to expect.

I hadn't really taken much notice of Clint in the previous books. But he was right up there with our other cowboys. And he might not have been a wolf by name but he definitely was one by nature. And with Becky's pregnancy he was super protective and possessive and I loved him.

Becky fit in well and her reactions were pretty authentic to what was going on. And since she had as much going on outside of the relationship as Clint I was really invested in her from the start. I liked her a lot. She was caring and despite being cautious she wasn't a drama queen or overreacting to things.

This book was a great addition to the series and I can't wait to see who's story we are getting next. And visiting with the cowboys again.

[Sofia Lazaridou · Rating 5 out of 5]

Savage is the fourth book in the Wolf Ranch series by Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale. All the wolf brothers have been paired off (and appear in this book), so now we get Clint's book who while is not a Wolf is very close to them like family.

He and Becky had a one night stand four months before the main story began and that resulted in a pregnancy. Clint was not aware that Becky is his mate, so he left during those months, but once he got back he realized what he had missed and he did his best to claim his mate and fixing everything up.

Clint is a very good hero and I liked watching him taking care of Becky even when the things between them were not ideal. All males were protective, but Clint was one step above the others and he proved himself to be a great mate. If I had to pick one of the heroes so far to be my mate I would choose him. Becky is not a bad character either and I understood where she was coming from. I didn't agree with her reasoning sometimes, but overall she was likable too.

I gotta say, I am still enjoying the series and I hope for more books to come in the future. I am still waiting for Natalie to appear to be honest and I wonder if she ever will. Maybe Clint's brothers will get a book someday.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it!

[Bourbon, Books and Brenda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy cow...Clint was not even on my radar! He was just so chill, calm, quiet, reserved. However, he was hiding one heck of a secret!

Overall Rating: 5 this series just gets better Stars
Kindle Unlimited: No
Standalone: Yes
Steam: 4 save a horse, ride a cowboy flames!

Like I said, Clint was not even on my radar in the first few books. I mean, I knew he was there, he was just in the background. Now I know why, he has a secret. I thought Clint was more:

Turns out, he is way more than that. He is so much more...savage (see what I did there):

Oh yes, quiet cowboy Clint, is a lot darker than I ever imagined. Lord, that cowboy is hot, possessive, dominate, and a total sweetheart. Swoon...So, let me move on. At Audrey's bachelorette party, he hooks up with Becky, Audrey's BFF, right after the party he has to leave the ranch for “work”. That is where our story really starts...looks like even with protection, Clint has knocked up Becky and he does not even know it.

Becky's world is currently a dumpster fire. She is pregnant with Clint's baby, her family are jerks that have essentially disowned her, and....she is married. Oops, did I say married? Yep, she has been trying to get rid of the husband for two years with no luck. He is crazy, abusive, and refuses to let go of Becky. She is trying so hard to navigate her life alone. I smell trouble coming...Pregnant momma + Possessive Cowboy Wolf + Abusive Ex = All kinds of trouble!

This book was fantastic! It had secrets, it had one hella hot cowboy, it had a strong FMC you can’t help but love, and the story totally took me by surprise! These two characters have to find their way through all their secrets and past, and it is going to be a difficult journey but well worth it! I cannot wait for the next book! I think these books are just getting better! If you have not read the Wolf Ranch Series, grab it now because Wild, Rough, Feral, and Savage are how you will feel at the end of each book! This gets all my recommendations!

[Jasmine Runckel · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was a good book but i felt that the story with the ex was almost half done by the time it ended. like was there more in the divorce proceeding then we as a audience were understanding. also when everyone found out what he did for the council it was just brushed over for the pack. and the wolf that attacked, how did he learn that Clark was an enforcer. the story was there but there was just some drop offs.

4.5 Sugar Stars

"Savage" is my favorite book in the Wolf Ranch series so far! I really liked Clint. He was a sweet executioner! Becky was a perfect match for him! I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

[Rain · Rating 4 out of 5]

*3.5* This story has it all. Possessive shifter, ass of an ex-husband, and an accidental pregnancy. Plus, it has a ranch filled with cowboy wolves! The story wasn’t anything unique but it was still an enjoyable read.

I haven’t read any other titles in this series, and it was fine as a standalone.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this is my favorite! Becky and Clint have a quick moment and then go their separate ways. They meet again a few months later and so begins the journey to their HEA. There’s a lot of emotion between the two, and when Becky learns about Clints life, it’s almost heartbreaking. Great story with lots of emotion and drama.

[Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this one, the two main characters Clint and Becky were well written, I really believed the connection and sexual tension between them. This book also had a good story too.
By far and away the best book of the series so far. I can hardly wait for the next one.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

What happens when a shifter's hot one-night stand turns into a mate...plus a secret bombshell? Add in some excitement, some danger, and a whole lot of surprises, and you have the makings of a "gotta read romance"! This story had me guessing, and second guessing, what comes next from the beginning right through to the end!

Clint is a typical shifter cowboy. But he has something that he's hiding. Something big. Something he thinks is going to keep him from having the happiness he's watching those around him have. But take a bachelorette party, add in a mechanical bull, and some intoxicated cowboys, and life has a way of throwing things at you that you aren't prepared for. Things that will turn your life upside down!

Clint and Becky seem to be absolutely perfect for each other, but their story was one that seemed impossible. So much was piled up in their path, I didn't think they could possibly find a way around it. Of course, I should have known they'd find a way. I mean, once those Wolf Ranch Cowboys set their mind to something, they don't give up until they get what they want! It was a fun, exciting story, with an absolutely perfect ending!

[HANNAH (Books, Films, and Tea) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Wolf Ranch Savage by Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale! This is the fourth book in the series, and while I've only read Feral, I love this series. Clint is a council enforcer, which means he puts down rogue shifters to protect the shifter community. His job is dangerous and secret. He has a one night stand with Becky, Audrey's friend and co-worker, during a wedding party. There's an attraction between them that he can't resist. Months later, he returns to town and discovers that she's his mate. Becky is a human and has a bit of a depressing past. She doesn't trust easily. Soon after their one night stand, Becky learns that she's pregnant with Clint's baby. But she doesn't know that he's a shifter. Clint is now trying to resist being with her, but can't help himself and the protective instincts he feels. He knows that his job and life puts Becky in danger, and he's keeping secrets from her. I loved Clint and Becky! Their relationship was super steamy and a little kinky. Clint immediately felt protective of Becky and their unborn child, but he went back and forth over being with her. There were a few different conflicts, and at one point I almost thought it was too much, but everything worked out great. These books are addictive and I read this one in no time at all. I liked Becky a lot, but she wasn't as memorable of a character. I'm excited for the next installment.

Clint & Becky had a wonderful one night at her BFF Audrey’s bachelorette party. They didn’t thnk they would meet up again. Nor did Becky expect to be caring his baby. But should she tell Clint? She had another issue to deal with as well, her soon to be ex. Clint had been the Enforcer for his pack for a long time. He didn’t think he would find his mate. When he came back to Cooper Valley and bumped into Becky, he knew she was his mate. But there are complications and things to be cleared up.
I love this series. Clint is such a sweetheart. You would never think that a man that calm would be an Enforcer. Becky has a scum ball ex who is bleeding her dry. I swear you just want to slap him for what he is doing to her. I love that these two were always trying to do what was best for the other. They didn’t seem to realize at first how compatible they really were. Clint is sexy, hot, dirty talking cowboy. What is there not to love? Becky being a nurse was a blessing for her. She knew what to expect with her pregnancy. She was as shocked as the other women mated to shifters. I mean it is a big shock and adjustment to make. Then you have another twist with Clint’s job. His family is so wonderful. Where can I find me one of those? His mom is the best. I really liked Janet. I was a bit confused about the baby’s name. It was one name in the book and in the bonus another. I love reading these ARCs. Thank you ladies and a job well done. I look forward to reading “Fierce.”

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read every one of these Wolf Ranch series books, and I have to admit they keep getting better and better. There is no overlap of stories and each one of these stories you will fall in love with each the couple you are reading about.

Rose and Vale bring a PNR to us that you want to read, the story between two characters Clint and Becky is unique, honest, and sexy. It is everything you expect from these two authors. I would highly recommend this series.

[Rhonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Out of all 4 of the books in this series, (so far) this is my favorite. Clint is instantly attracted to Becky but when he steps in to protect her from a drunk's advances, he ends up with a broken nose. No probably for a wolf shifter but it stops him from "scenting" that Becky is his mate. Still, they have a quickie and then each go on their way. When they see each other again............BAM! Clint knows she is his. Their connection in intense and powerful but there is danger lurking in both of their lives. Can Clint keep her safe and what happens when his family finds out HIS secret he's been keeping from them all? Little twists and turns kept me turning the pages as I had to know what was going on. I love getting to see all the previous guys and gals and we get to meet more guys that I assume are getting stories in the future!! This was one smoking hot book and you should just get it and buckle in because you're in for a wild ride!!!

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Have to say I'm really enjoying this series pairing of Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale. In this fourth entry in the series, and I do recommend reading the books in order, a quick encounter has some seriously unexpected consequences. Becky has no idea shifters even exist but she's about to get her whole world turned upside down. This fast-paced shifter romance had plenty of heat and a touch of suspense. Definitely looking forward to where this series goes next and what the next pack rule might be!

[Jill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the story. It is well written and entertaining. When a wolf finds his mate, and they are human, things can get a bit complicated as Clint finds out. There is a lot of danger in the book and Becky seems to be the main target. The men of Wolf Ranch are protective but especially when their mate is in danger. Secrets are discovered and now they are out in the open, some of which Becky is having a hard time accepting. This is a great read and a great addition to the Wolf Ranch series. I would highly recommend this book along with the entire series.

Clint and Becky met at her friend’s Audrey’s hen party. Enjoying a brief storage cupboard encounter, they bid each other goodbye and resumed their lives. Four months later, pregnant thinking she could keep it from him after heaving all over on his shoes. Failing to realise his heightened awareness, senses and his ability to see in the dark, alerts him that she’s carrying his baby. He wonders how long she’d planned to keep the existence of their pup a secret.

Imprinting on her, as is customary to mated couples, she discloses that she is married.

He feels regret for not recognising his mate sooner, placing her in danger as the enforcer’s mate and leaving her vulnerable and unprotected. Clint in the middle of Audrey’s party had been punched in the nose, breaking it rendering him unable to detect his mate.

Her abusive, deranged, toxic husband, Todd, on a technicality (he refuses to sign the divorce papers), using any means possible to keep her tied to him. For two years he’s been thwarting her efforts to divorce him. She has issued a restraining order against him, he stalks her, breaks into her house, slashes the tyre of her car, intimidates her, depletes her personal bank account, incurs debt in her name making her liable, cancels her personal credit card and overall creates havoc in her life.

When Becky discovers Clint’s identity as a Wolf shifter - she is less than impressed or receptive and it takes her time to process her new reality. All is well in the end.

Clint is a quiet ranch hand who works undercover as a Shifter Council enforcer; he receives assignments to track and kill rogue shifters who have murdered humans. All the Wolf men are protective, but his long-term role as an enforcer has contributed to Clint being more protective than the rest - he has also needed to be protective of the entire species He is strong and sexy, yet lethal, and as a dad he’ll make you swoon. Clint is an excellent hero, and devoted to taking care of Becky, no matter what.

Becky has a ton of emotional, financial and legal baggage that weighs down her spirit and her life. She had an unhappy marriage to a controlling man who for years has refused to sign divorce papers, and who is aggressively making her life miserable. She has no family support, and doesn’t believe there is a good man in the world for her.

The chemistry between Clint and Becky is explosive and compelling, but they each have an intimidating amount of serious obstacles keeping them apart. I couldn’t stop reading this story! I knew eventually they would find their HEA, but the twists and turns and problems they faced kept me very interested and entertained.

This book could definitely be enjoyed as a standalone. But even if you read them out of order, you owe it to yourself to experience all the books in the Wolf Ranch series. The authors have indicated that we can expect two more books in the series, I think. Will Rand or Nash have their story told? Will cousin Shelby be involved, and will we finally get to meet the mysterious Natalie next door? No matter who is front and center, I hope we will see more of Janet!

[Badh · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think that Clint was a very responsible person who was doing a really hard job. I think that it was also so hard on him to do and made him miserable. He really didn't see that he could have any kind of good life because of that job. It's a necessary one, but since it has to be secret, it's a hard one. So, itt's hard on him because he can't get his one night stand with Becky out of his mind.

Becky can't get it out of her mind either, not only does he linger in her head, but she ended up falling pregnant. I think that she is really, really strong and incredibly brave. She has had to go through so much to get to where she is now, and she's had to fight for everything. I really like her, and I think that she will be really good for Clint, because she will fight for what she needs.

[Demi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Waited so long for Rob to meet his mate. As Alpha of the pack the pack expected it soon. He was getting old and without a mate worried about succumbing to moon madness. When he does scent his mate she turns out to be human but with a secret. Great story! So glad Rob finally gets his happy!

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Becky has learnt the hard way that the only one she can depend on is herself and her past has made her determined that it will stay that way. On a girls’ night out, a sexy cowboy comes to her rescue when some fellow patrons refuse to take no for an answer and after they share a steamy interlude, they go their separate ways.

Clint is a wolf shifter who has recently returned home after ensuring that justice was served on a rogue wolf. The last thing he expects when he sees Becky again is to find out that not only is she carrying his baby but that she is his mate as well. Now he just needs to convince her.

There was never any doubt about the hot chemistry between them, but both their pasts bring complications that they will have to deal with if they are to have a future together.

[Nancy Reads Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love, love a secret baby romance! Clint is one, hot cowboy. Clint and Becky have a little fun at Audrey's bachelorette party, but there seems to be some long-lasting consequences. Becky is determined to keep it under her hat because her life is a mess. Number one at fault is her ex-husband; well, estranged and seperated husband. He won't sign the divorce papers. When Clint gets wind of Becky for real, all bets are off. She is HIS and nothing will stop him from caring for her. Becky is Clint's mate. There's some great action in this one and a few surprises! I love the family element of this shifter group at Wolf Ranch. I can't get enough of these stories! Rose and Vale are really serving up some hot, shifter cowboys! Yee Haw! 4 stars

[April Symes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Savage is book #4 in Wolf Ranch series by Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale. This is Clint and Becky's story. Clint and Becky had a one night stand at her best friend's party. Neither did they think that they see each other again but when one's a shifter and the other is his mate ... things are about to turn from one night to forever. This is a story that is full of shifter cowboys, human mates, secret pregnancies, steamy romance, heat, feels, danger , humor , and good HEA. Clint and Becky are good characters to root for. Their chemistry is what draws you into the story and keeps you engaged. Loved the ending- I can't wait for book 5.

This book ravaged my heart! It’s hard to put a review into words that does justice to this book. The series simply gets better and better. It was heart wrenching, heart warming, and full of the sizzle you have come to expect from these authors. They brought me to tears as if I was part of the Wolf Ranch family which I must admit I’ve come to feel as readers are introduced to each of the shifters sho find their fated mates. It may not happen as they expect but it sure makes for a captivating read each and every time. Bring on the next one!

Savage (Wolf Ranch) by Renee Rose, Vanessa Vale is an amazing story that I have had the privilege to read. This is book number four that I just could not put it down till I was done with it.

Savage is book 4 in the Wolf Ranch series. If you have never read a shifters book before, This is actually a great series to be introduced to the genre. I have enjoyed this series. Becky and Clint’s story was extremely hot and sexy. Becky has a crazy soon to be ex husband and Clint has several secrets he is hiding. The chemistry between them is undeniable. I’m already excitedly waiting for book 5!
