The Defenders #1

Wolf Defender

Rate this book
I've been carrying a torch for a wolf defender, but he’s never looked my way. Why would he? I am a dragon and the daughter of an accused traitor.

When we get news of mystery and intrigue in the corrupt Timber Kingdom of the wolves, he wants to go there to avenge the death of his fated mate. I'm sure this is the key to proving my dad's innocence.

If I can convince him to band together we both might get what we want, including a chance at love. But neither of us know who to trust when demons and wolves have joined forces to bring the dark Unseelie to our realm.

This story starts out with Xavier finding Mina. Mina has been looking for her dad since she left legacy. Xavier is the next prince. Mina is a dragon and friends with Raven. Xavier lost his girlfriend during the fight at Lagacy. What happens when Aton sends him to find Mina and bring her back so they can find the Moon Stone?

Can she work with him knowing he will never care for her? Will they be able to save her dad and find the moon stone? Or will they die trying, because of wolf alpha that is working with the Dark Demons and the Unseelie? Follow Xavier and Mina's story. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I loved it!

It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. This is the story about Raven’s dragon friend Mina and the wolf defender named Xavier. Welcome to the Wolf Defender series. Mina has been carrying a torch for a Wolf Defender named Xavier, but he’s never looked her way. She believes it’s because she is a dragon and the daughter of an accused traitor. When they get news of mystery and intrigue in the corrupt Timber Kingdom of the wolves, he wants to go there to avenge the death of his fated mate and she’s sure this is the key to proving her dad's innocence. If she can convince him to band together then they both might get what they want, including a chance at love. Neither of them knows who they can trust when demons and wolves have joined forces to bring the dark Unseelie to their realm. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. I love how it all came to end. Next up is the Wolf Princess series. I highly recommend to everyone.

Awesome new series!

Wolf Defender is the first book in The Defenders series which is in the Legacy world. This is about Xavier, wolf prince of the Timbers pack, and Mina, Ravens best friend and fellow dragon.

Mina has had a crush on Xavier for what seems like forever, but he was with Poppy until her death. Now they are working together to find the Moon stone AND find/ save her father who was kidnapped years ago.

During their time together, they grow closer and still are able to kick butt. They have to fight against multiple dark Demons and Unseelie fae but finally are able to complete both tasks! Yay!! And Mina discovers that she's not JUST a dragon (wink, wink) AND she's Xaviers mate!
This book was great!! Loved it. Although the only thing that made me scratch my head is that I remember from Ravens books that Xavier and Poppy DID mate but in this book, he says they didn't. Also they didn't bring up the mate mark?? Other than that, I loved it!!
Can't wait to read the next book!

I recieved an ARC for my honest review.

This is so 2012 Wattpad era esque

Admittedly, i wasn’t expecting much since it’s such a short book but it was kinda fun. The writing wasn’t the best but I really enjoyed the plot and the characters! The dialogue was aggressively ✨dialogue✨ if you know what I mean?? But i actually really liked it like that, there was something kinda cosy about it???

I am a bit of a sucker for a shifter romance so maybe I’m blinded by my enjoyment of them. I will admit that it was a complete guilty pleasure but I would still fully recommend it.

📖tropes: shifter romance, dragons and wolves, adventures, quest to save a loved one, chosen one, fated mates

⭐️3.5/5
🌶️1.5/5

Over Too Quick

This book was differs than the others in the series. In such a good way. I really do love this series. Her books are getting better and better. But the story line is so good and I love that she brings back characters from her other books into the new ones. Just ANOTHER FANTASTIC JOB BY A FANTASTIC AUTHOR! NOW I HAVE TO START THEM ALL OVER AGAIN WHILE I WAIT FOR HER NEW RELEASES!!!! Poor me!!!!

This was a short well written book. For a short book, it was character heavy. Too many people were briefly introduced. I felt like I was missing context here. Either there were books before this a series and this was just wrapping up some old characters. Or this was an intro to a new series and all the characters were there for us to fall in love with.

Anyhow, it was a short one with a little smut at the end.

Wow I really enjoyed this book. I was taken on a journey with the characters. This book is the start of a new series but has links to other series in the same world. All are linked and follow the same major storyline. Well worth starting at the first series and follow along. Plenty of action and emotion.

So good and so bad

The author does such a wonderful job with the story. Then ohmygosh, the writing...those extra words and missing words... they just yank the reader all around. If she could get this edited properly, it would be a top drawer 5 star book.

Hated all the errors, but Loved the tale!
