This is an action packed ending! It’s an intense and exciting read, it’s heartbreaking and Lyssa is strong and despite everything she and her guys have been through, their relationships are strong and their chemistry off the charts. I love the Norse mythology in this and I have loved the journey and I am sad to see it end but the storyline has grown as have the characters and I have loved every minute of it!

Loved by Wolves is the third and final book in the Bloodline series by Rhea Watson and it was amazeballs. Lyssa and her mates have gone through a lot, traumatic pasts, unstable mate bonds, and an uncertain future. After the shocking events at the end of Hunted by Wolves, things were left shaken but not for long, things were better, finally coming together but the fight for a peaceful life is far from over for the pack, not with gods afoot and an ominous feeling lurking in the background. Things are far from over but Lyssa isn't running, not anymore, she's ready to stand and fight for the pack, for the family that she deserves.
Lyssa is one of the most interesting and complex characters I have ever read and by the end of the series is a total badass. One minute she's so confident and in control, the next, she's unsure willing to give up control. Lyssa is a mix of naivety and wisdom, she's playful and serious, but most of all she's strong, not only physically but emotionally. Lyssa hasn't been afraid of telling the alphas what she wants and needs, she's just afraid of rejection but is working on it. Lyssa is open (except when her fear overtakes her), kind, caring, playful, stubborn, and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her pack together, this is the one area where she is confident and takes charge. I love Lyssa and couldn't help but feel a connection to her character. She has grown so much over the series, she's more acclimated to the human world, learning more about her mates, figuring things out, and is opening more. While she is far from perfect (except for in her mates' eyes) the best part of Lyssa is that she tries.
There's a scene in this book where everyone's past is finally put out in the open. We learn exactly what happened to Lyssa, what Lucian's history was, Soren, realizing how his childhood could impact his actions and the others and got more detail about Ewan's past. It was a beautiful moment and with everything out in the open and a deeper understanding about why they act the way that they do, everyone is finally starting to heal and form an unbreakable bond that each of them needs for one reason on another. Everyone is working on being better for everyone else in the pack and not just for Lyssa, the guys are finally forming a bond that the three should have had all along when they decided to become a pack. Soren is dialing his excitement back but using what he knows of a healthy pack to make his pack healthy. Ewan is starting to see that business isn't everything but still wants to provide for everyone, Lyssa has acknowledged that the guys aren't gonna just leave her at the drop of a hat and Lucian is still Luciean but more open. One obvious thing is that the guys now have a brotherly bond and they all love Lyssa with everything they have. Their relationship is so special and has many happy moments and beautiful scenes.
I am not really surprised all that often, I usually have some idea about what's going to happen but dang-it if Rhea didn't shock the heck out of me ending the series as she did. Don't get me wrong, I loved the ending but I was surprised by the details of the ending. One thing that happened, I saw coming because I felt the exact same way as Lucian and while I saw it coming I couldn't believe it was for that reason. Like are you kidding me, there were hints and a steady uneasy feeling growing then throw-in a few gods and some wayward magic, things got real dramatic real quick. One of the best things about this series is the detailed, vivid descriptions of feelings, smells, environment, and more, it brings the story off the page. The lush parties that just make me wish I was there, the sense of togetherness, and the magic, all made for great world-building.
Loved by Wolves is the stunning conclusion to the Bloodline series, things were rough in the beginning but they got their happy ending. With a fantastic plot filled with magic, gods, hot alphas, a few witches, the nature of wolves, and family bonds, I was enraptured with every moment of this book, it closed out the series perfectly and the bonus material wasn't bad either.

The best yet in this series, which trust me, is not an easy feat. Reading this book was the most heart wrenching and stunning goodbye to an amazing trilogy. I wanted more more more and yet was hugely satisfied with where our amazing Redwood pack ended up. I’ll tell ya what, Lyssa and the boys have been through some real shit, but if you’re gonna read some heart wrenching shit then read this series and it’ll be insanely well written heart wrenching shit. Better than all the other heart wrenching shit. Please read this heart wrenching shit, I promise you won’t regret it.
The Norse Mythology coming into play was super clever, subtle and not at all taking over the story which has definitely been a problem with a lot books containing any kind of mythology for me in the past. The character developments are crazy good, bro. It’s been such a well paced and fruitful journey for everyone and I feel like my babies are well adjusted and all grown up. I literally have nothing but positive things to say about LBW. I wish I could give all the stars, I literally cannot even with this book. I want everyone to read this series and go through what I have been through, like, definitely through the wringer but like, in a deeply satisfying “I probably needed that” kinda way?! Bruh. I squee for reals.

When the story picks up, we find Lyssa’s mates attempting to cope with the realization that her newly acquired magical abilities are a LOT more goddess-like than first thought. Which then begs the question – who do you trust with this knowledge, and, do you truly trust them to safeguard it?
While I had some suspicions as to what might unfold, I hadn’t anticipated the twists and turns that would keep me glued to the pages and reading late into the night! I enjoyed the sense of belonging and unity that resulted within the pack when everyone laid their secrets bare. Consequently, becoming fiercely protective of each other, and leaving all the past pettiness behind. I loved how Lyssa fully embraced her destiny, accepted her powers and new responsibilities, and dealt with her enemies as only she could.
This well written story has plenty of shifter-style action & adventure, some drama, suspense, mystery, danger, conflict, some violence, magic and plenty of angst. There’s also some dirty talk along with explicit MF and reverse harem ménage encounters, but no MM scenes. I received an Advance Reader Copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I thought I would be able to read slowly and savor this, but I can never put down a Rhea Watson book once I've started! All the boys really shined in this one, except for that one time when Lucian needed someone (cough Lyssa) to call him back . . . but WOW the development of these characters really paid off! All the little moments made it perfect, like Soren with his high-puppy-energy when things were going well, but also him realizing that he had a lot to contribute to this pack and being able to share that verbally with the others. I liked finally understanding some of Lucian's and Ewan's pasts that made them act a certain way, and learning more of Lyssa's backstory as well. I really can't say enough about this book, these characters, and this author's writing style. I love all of it, and the payoff from the buildup from the previous two books was totally worth it. The villain got what he deserved, and a new character who showed his face in this one was a pleasant surprise.
Highly recommend!

I cannot believe we have reached the end of the series! I absolutely adored spending time with Lyssa and her pack. My disaster wolves! I am still head over heels in love with Soren and Lucian but never quite managed to warm up completely to Ewan. But I loved the way that the relationship developed between them all.
Ewan had a really interesting character arc and I loved reading it, I also love finding out about the personal histories of the wolves.
I think my favourite part of the whole series was that Epilogue though! I definitely had tears in my eyes when reading that.
All in all I loved this series, and this book. The writing was engaging, the world building was so interesting and the characters were so incredible. I would definitely recommend!!

This was exactly the conclusion I was hoping for! While I enjoyed reading the entire trilogy, this third and final book really made a good series GREAT!
So much happened in this book! Ewan, Lucian and Lyssa all finally opened up about their troubling pasts, the pack finally started to feel like they truly were a family, we find out more about Rosa and Ethan Perry, and we get all the answers we were hoping and waiting for regarding Idunn and Lyssa’s newly acquired powers.
This book literally had all the feels! It was fun, exciting, suspenseful, mysterious, heartwarming, and to sum it all up; absolute perfection. 🙌 And the epilogue at the end was just the icing on the cake!
I seriously loved it all! ❤️

Rhea finished this trilogy with an explosive climax that was just perfect. This book pulled together every thread she has weaved and left us with a final spell binding piece.
The growth in Ewan, Soren and Lucas was monumental and much needed. The bonfire changed everything, it cemented the pack bonds between the 4 of them that were missing, it gave their pack a heartbeat that they all felt. It brought them unity, trust, understanding and love.
Your emotional are put to the test with tender love, full acceptance of their fated mate. Steamy group scenes that make your pulse race, that only further cement their pack bond, trust and love. To pain, betrayal sacrifice and death.
With death there is also life and new beginnings and answers. This really was the perfect conclusion to the Redwood Grove Packs story.

Wow, what and ending for the Redwood Pack!!
Lyssa shows her ultimate strength in the final book in overcoming betrayals, shocks, and her own insecurities.
Ewan, Lucien and Soren all became the men Lyssa deserves and their love/adoration for her is beautifully written and gets you right in the feels! And oh boy does the heat and steam between them spark ⚡️🔥😍
The campfire of trust scene - be prepared to melt….after they’ve gone through so much it’s great to see these Wolves gel together as a family!
There some new players in this final book but it all helps to explain Lyssas role and her powers.
Everything is answered and superbly tied up in this action-packed ending! 💗

This book is my favorite of the series. Lyssa grew so much as a person, as an alpha, and as a ___. No spoilers! But trust me that there are some fun twists ahead of you. I'll tell you that we get our HEA and what a satisfying ending. I couldn't pick a favorite between Ewan, Soren, and Lucien by the end. And they are all equally well-rounded characters. Lyssa is every bit the epitome of sweet strength. I regret none of the time I spent with this book. Thank you, Rhea!

Loved by Wolves is the incredible conclusion to this series!
I absolutely loved this book. It was great to see how the Redwood Pack bonded together and I loved how the author concluded the series. The story itself is heart wrenching and intense but will also warm your heart with the ending. I really can’t say anymore without spoiling it other than I highly recommend reading it!
If you like shifters, witches, vampires and Norse mythology than you should check out this series!

I loved the end of this book. It kept me engaged and I kept turning pages in order to know how they dealt with the villains. The HEA was touching♥️
In conclusion, this is a good serie with original ideas about wolf shifters.

I loved the final book and ending to this series. These characters have developed so much in just three books and have each grown beautifully as individuals and as a pack. There were some ups and downs for each of them and the story but Rhea definitely through in a twist I didn’t see coming!! I absolutely loved how protective Lyssa was with those she loved, she really came a long way. Rhea did an excellent job with this series and fated mates!
August 12, 2021
Suspenseful. Heart-warming.
These characters have wormed their way into my heart. It is sad this is the last of the trilogy.
Action-packed! I never knew what Ms. Watson would throw at me, Lyssa, Lucian, Ewan and Soren, but, I was there for every minute!
Intense.
I loved every little thing about these fated mates! I can't pick a favorite, and I won't!
Loved the bonus content, yet didn't, as it all seems so final! Never to see them again, well, until I pick the trilogy up once more!

What a way to finish this series!
Exposing all their insecurities, bringing them all closer as a pack.
When enemies are so close, it's necessary to have complete trust in each other.
And the why this book is written is just so believable for them to triumph.

Happily ever after
I loved that everyone finally put all their cards on the table early in this book, it was the moment I'd been waiting for and I loved seeing them operating as a family after that point. A cute story overall with a little darkness but a lot of love

The last book in the Bloodline series, Loved by Wolves is fast paced, exhilarating and packed full of everything you've wanted from the very first book for Lyssa. I thoroughly enjoyed it, such a great read. I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters so I guess a re-read is in the cards!
August 20, 2021
This book was everything. I read the whole thing in one sitting I just could not put it down. Lyssa is a baddass queen. ❤
June 15, 2022
Rhea has done it again!! Another series that I don’t want to end. The worlds you create, the relationships you build between your characters is absolutely beautiful!! I love this last book. It gave you everything you needed in the end. Omg the extended content at the end was everything!! A personal thank you for a bit more on the lives of Lyssa and her mates!! This series didn’t disappoint and I am glad someone got their just desserts. I want to say more but I refuse to spoil the goodness within these pages. Bravo Rhea!!

Shifters, magic, and a bit of Norse mythology all rolled into one intense conclusion to the Bloodline trilogy. I expected secrets to be revealed and questions to be answered, and Rhea Watson gives us both with her usual style and flair. Lyssa and her mates finally do some real bonding, and share their pasts, trauma and all, so things do get emotional. That bonding also takes the steamy goodness to a new level as everybody gets on the same page. Then there's the Norse angle, which included an appearance of what I consider one of the most interesting in the mythology. And let's not forget the danger. Some of those answered questions lead to danger for Lyssa and her wolves. I'll admit that I guessed where the danger was coming from pretty early, but the author does give us some pretty good hints. That said, I couldn't even begin to guess the why and how - and the resolution? Wow!
So, when you put it all together, we have sexy romance, action, danger, and edge of your seat tension all rolled up in an impossible to put down trilogy conclusion. The story is both gripping and gritty, and the characters feel so real they practically leap off the page. Yeah, yeah, I know they're shifters and witches, but Rhea Watson paints a picture you can fall into with characters you can relate to on some level, supernatural or not. All in all, this is another great trilogy from one of my favorite authors.

I like how the characters grow and learn to handle their personal situations and each other. That circle of trust was one of my favorite scenes in the series. That they learn to accept each other unconditionally. I felt like each hero and heroine had a purpose in the story. Even though I picked this back up after a bit of time between this book and the previous book, I had no issues reorienting and knowing who each character was or distinguish their personalities.
I predicted the Ethan/Rosa plot line and was a bit annoyed that the characters lacked initiative with solving it but I can see why the author delayed it. I do like how the author wove those characters in with more of a purpose than I originally thought. I was uncertain of the introduction of Loki to the book but I liked how it ended.
Overall, this is a nice and satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and I liked how the author wrote the epilogue so it didn't leave us readers guessing what happened afterwards.
3.3 out of 5 for me!

This was an enjoyable read, but the conflict was too lackadaisical for the final book in the trilogy—it felt like the author relied on plot conveniences, rather than believable circumstances, as a means to move the ending along.

There was nothing wrong with the writing itself, and I enjoyed the intimate scenes, but the action in this book dragged on way longer than it needed to before the resolution in the last 15% of the novel. You could already see who was the terrible villain in the previous book with all the blatant hinting, and it was only a matter of time before they were involved directly with the FMC Lyssa's new goddess powers.
It was a nice read for closure for the series, but I wasn't the biggest fan of bringing in pregnancy as a romantic plot device. I have no idea if the author intends on continuing with more books in the world, but I would love to follow to see if

Very satisfying conclusion to Lyssa’s story. Ewan steps up in a big way and actually opens up to Lyssa and the guys. Lucian takes a medal for being a dummy and letting his issues take over his brain for awhile. Soren is the voice of reason mostly, which is funny given his derpy wolf. I loved the ice skating scene and especially loved the Christmas tree shopping. Watson really knows how to write a sweet and funny scene that I just love. Those plus the thanksgiving scene with the moose are my favorites. Loads of secrets are revealed and Rosa has a big behind the scenes kind of arc. All the other secrets I would mention are major spoilers, but answers about Idunn and the river are here and they don’t disappoint.

I cannot believe we have reached the end of the series! I absolutely adored spending time with Lyssa and her pack. My disaster wolves! I am still head over heels in love with Soren and Lucian but never quite managed to warm up completely to Ewan. But I loved the way that the relationship developed between them all.
Ewan had a really interesting character arc and I loved reading it, I also love finding out about the personal histories of the wolves.
I think my favourite part of the whole series was that Epilogue though! I definitely had tears in my eyes when reading that.
All in all I loved this series, and this book. The writing was engaging, the world building was so interesting and the characters were so incredible. I would definitely recommend!!

This final book in the Bloodline trilogy wrapped everything up perfectly! I enjoyed getting to finally dive into the backs stories of some of the characters. Where in books 1 and 2, there were times I was seriously unimpressed with the behaviour of Lyssa's mates. However, after this book, everything's so much clearer... so now they get a pass! Some seriously great character growth for these three grumbly but sweet alphas.
This was probably my favourite book of the trilogy. The direction it ended up going in was really interesting - I didn't see it coming. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, and definitely recommend to anyone feeling like a great wolfy series!

You know they always say “save the best for last” and that is exactly what this author did. Loved By Wolves was fantastic and in my opinion the best in the series. The growth Lyssa and her guys had was phenomenal… They are been put through the ringer to say the least but still managed to hold it altogether and come out on top. There was still so many twist and turns that I didn’t see coming which I love. I love when an author can literally keep you guessing through three books all the way until the very end. That is a true talent. If you love a strong FMC and hot sexy shifter alpha then this is the series for you hands down one of my all time favorites.

This series has had me hooked from book one and the finale was everything you could want.
It brings together all those threads of the story into an explosive ending that is just perfect.
This is a series I will go back to time and time again.
Lyssa and her men have grown so much and you really get to see it. Having the multiple POVs you can really invest in the characters.
Awesome job again Rhea, but what do I do now???
