What a Wolf Demands
A werewolf hitman with a mysterious past...
Hitman.
Killer.
Problem-solver.
Dominic Prado is the best at what he does. When werewolves lose control, the Alpha sends Dominic to clean up the mess. It’s not a job to covet. It’s not well-suited to someone burdened by emotion. But it suits Dom just fine. After he lost the love of his life, he hasn’t felt much of anything at all.
And he’s ready for a clean, easy kill. When he learns there’s a murderer on the loose in the Louisiana bayou, he signs on without a second thought. The last thing he expects to find at the end of his hunt is a trash-talking beauty with flashing green eyes, a body that won't quit…and a damn mean right hook.
A latent female shifter on the run.
As a latent werewolf, Lily Agincourt has spent the past five years on the fringes of wolf society—an outcast with few rights and almost no prospects for the future. On the other hand, being a latent means sidestepping the pressures of shifter life. Free from wolf politics and the obligatory search for a lifemate, she can live exactly as she chooses.
But when she’s accused of murder, her life is instantly forfeit. There is no judge and jury for a latent—just an executioner. But when the man sent to kill her ends up in her bed—and stays there for days—hope blooms that she may just survive this, after all. Who knew an executioner’s arms could be so warm…or so pleasurably wicked?
Will Dom help her prove her innocence? Or after taking her body, merely follow orders and take her life, as well...

Dominic Prado is the best at what he does, when werewolves lose control or are accused of a crime like murder he is the one who is sent out to hunt and capture, and if need be execute. But when he is sent to locate and bring back for trial latent shifter Lily Agincourt, nothing goes as he thought it would.
The I love you moment in this felt a tad fast, but I did enjoy the read, especially the latter half.

Latent wolf, Lily, is on the run for her life. In an act of self defense, a wolf looses his life and in a society where latent wolves are ostracized and treated as second class citizens, Lily knows that there's no way she'll get a fair trail.
Beta wolf, Dom is a Hunter. He tracks down feral wolves and brings them back for a trail or when their too far gone, he fills the role of executioner. This latest assignment, to bring in a latent wolf who may be going feral should have been like any other job. But from that first look, Dom feels a connection to Lily the he never expected to feel.
She's compassionate, fiery and full of spunk for a wolf that's rumored to be slowly loosing her sanity. Everyone always claims their innocent when Dom catches up to them but with Lily, Dom finds himself believing her, believing that she isn't a cold blooded murderer and that against the odds, she's telling the truth.
Although it wasn't very obvious, Dom and Lily's story is definitely insta-love. And with Dom's past and Lily's life in the balance I guess I was hoping for a little more drama and a little more woo-ing from Dom. If felt a bit too rushed when he confesses about his past girlfriend and in almost the same breath, turns around and confesses his love for her. When there's a dead significant other in the MCs history, I think a slow burn works better only because it gives the MCs a chance to grow into the emotional connection. Dom's vow to remain alone, a vow he's stayed faithful to for 6 years seemed a big deal and he goes from completely committed, to chucking it all out the window and zero in on Lily.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Lily and I was happy that she got her man in the end. The ending and the happy news made this read all the sweeter but for all the angst that she deals with, I kind of wanted a little more of Dom chasing her and maybe an itsy bitsy bit more of a romantic gesture from Dom. Something that didn't run so parallel to the events he already lived with Sabrina. The fact that Lily shares the same red hair was off putting. And then there was the same not so real lux catena ceremony. Dom does one similar with Sabrina and then again with Lily. It just felt like all the special firsts for Lily got overshadowed by Dom's memories of Sabrina.
Memorable Moments:
There was two that stick out for me. Lily taking Dom by surprise and punching him, lol! And the second one is when Dom confesses his love for her. It was really sweet. At first it seemed too soon and too fast but after a second re-read, the emotion really comes out and I didn't doubt his sudden change of heart.
Would I recommend?
This shifter world is different and I've enjoyed both of the books I've read in this series so far (can't believe I skipped Remy's!) and with the introduction of the witchborn I'm still very into the series.

I enjoyed this book a bit more. Something about it just spoke more to me.
The questions I had about Dom were answered. It was finally revealed what happened to the love of his life before Lily and why he tended to act the way he did.
But I still have questions.
Lily stated that six months prior, she started going through a change. She found it harder to control her anger and she experienced lustful urges that took her at random times. According to Dom, there are two things this could mean: a latent is going feral or a werewolf is going through their first Turn. And with what was revealed at the end, I suppose it could be both? It was hard to say. This is the closest we get to having the POV of a latent at this point in the series and the next book follows a former latent who had been a teenager when she was finally able to Turn. So it is likely we will not get to see what it is like for a latent to go feral.
Regardless, I like how this book went. Dom isn't my favorite character but he was certainly one of the most interesting with how he acted most of the time. Enter Lily and everything changes. And now, thinking back, I really have to wonder if Dom's wolf didn't mind her challenging him because he liked her or because of what she was. I like to think it was the former but from the explanation given, it could easily also be the latter. Either way, Dom's wolf was all about protecting her so I guess it doesn't make a difference.
Either way, it was a fun book to read. I loved their dynamic and the ending was so perfect for Dom's story that I couldn't help but melt. They both deserve the ending they got and I can't wait to see what their new trouble will cause.
But that will be regulated to the background. Now it's time to head to the next book and see what trouble Haley will get up to. I'm going to enjoy this.

What a Wolf Demands is the third book in the Lux Catena Series. You can read this as a standalone, but the other stories in the series are great and the relationships between the characters build.
The twists and turns in this story kept it a page-turner. Dom is a self-proclaimed loner, while Lily has fought every day for her slim existence. Dom as a hunter and executioner is sent to fetch Lily and turn her over to her alpha for the death of one of his wolves. Lily is a latent (she can't turn into her animal) and is being accused of turning feral even though she didn't kill him. When she meets Dom, her fight and flight responses kick in, and she manages to use them to endear Dom.
I was so happy to read Dom's story. It was heartbreaking hearing his story about Sabrina.
Lily is a firecracker alright and just the type of woman Dom needs. The storyline was amazing and the twists and turns kept me on edge and kept me glued to the book, so much that I read it in one day.
A enjoyable story. It will keep you flipping pages to see what will happen next with Lily and Dom. The characters are developed well and have great chemistry. A great read.

This book is about Dominic and Lily. Dom is a Beta and an enforcer. He tracks fugitives and brings them back to their Alphas; if found guilty he executes them. He is currently after Lily for committing murder. Lily is a latent, which means she cannot shift. Working in a bar, several men push her to the edge, so she attacks. Walking home, one of them come out of hiding and tries to attack her. In turn, a huge mishap occurs and he winds up dead. She has to run for her life! When Dom captures her, he discovers no one from her pack wants to wait for a trial, they want her to kill her. He will do everything he can to protect her. He believes in her innocence and one night together will change everything between them! What happens when they take and jail one of her innocent friends? They will put their lives on the line to rescue said friend and head to his pack~ Can they save the friend? Is Lily really latent? Can Dom and her get to his pack safely? What will happen when they get to his pack? This has a HEA and steamy scenes. I received this as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5 Wonderful Stars
I loved the mysticism surrounding this series but Amy really put the icing on the cake with this one. A forbidden love story if you will.
Max and Lily were certainly an interesting and somewhat unlikely pair to match together. With Max’s past and Lily’s latent wolf, who would have through the two would go hand in hand.
Amy creates a wonderful story, weaving in folklore, mysticism, romance and a huge twist at the end that I know will open up lots of interesting stories later down the line.
I especially liked how we got a epilogue at the end of this book which was lacking in her previous ones. However I would have liked a bit more of an ending as I felt the door was closed a bit too soon on Max and Lily’s story.
Nevertheless, this story takes you on whirlwind ride with all the clues subtlety dropped throughout the book. But it’s not until you get to end do you realise that the answers have been staring you in the face!!

All hope is not lost for Lily and Dominic
What A Wolf Demands (Book 3 in the Lux Catena Series) by Amy Pennza is a well written paranormal romance with suspense, danger and a heroine who just needs a little help.
All is not as it seems with Lily. By no means a shrinking violet, Lily constantly finds herself in dangerous situations. Lily has just one friend and she always thought she was destined to be alone when fate throws her into running for life which in turns throws Dominic in her path.
Both Lily and Dominic have pain in their pasts and struggle to get past those hurts. However, as they experience the threat to Lily’s life together, their connection becomes impossible to ignore so they stop trying to ignore it. This brings about another set of complications that in turn, become their salvation.
Overall, a very well written paranormal romance series with great characters, interesting plot and fated mates with a HEA.
I read an ARC of this book from Hidden Gems and voluntarily share my review.

Entertaining story with an interesting premise. Very steamy, but sweet too. Good action and suspense! Lily is a latent wolf; she has a wolf but she can’t shift. The other wolf shifters treat latents very poorly. She’s around when someone dies accidentally; she knows she won’t get a fair trial with her current pack, so she goes on the run. Dom, who is part of Max’s pack, is sent to track her down and take her out; there’s a possibility that she could be turning feral. Lily and Dom start off on the wrong foot, but Dom is sensing things aren’t exactly right. The romance is good, but I didn’t quite feel the progression to a deeper relationship worked in this book. I also wasn’t a fan of their first sexual experience together; it was an in heat type of scenario, so that takes the romance out of it for me. I want the connection to be more organic than forced. There’s also some stuff in Don’s past that makes me feel he’s not fully ready for more with Lily. Still some heartfelt moments between them though. Overall, a fun, well-written story! Enjoying this whole series so far!

What a Wolf Demands
Third book in this series, I'm still enjoying the world building in this shifter universe. Adding the Quebecois culture makes the setting more interesting. Also, I liked that we spent much of this book in New Orleans and thereby sticking with the French theme.
I enjoyed this bit of humor near the beginning with the two guys in the bar foreshadowing what is about to happen,
“Nothing interesting ever happens in this bar.”
And then the MMC walks in,
“The door swung open, filling the entrance with a burst of afternoon sunlight. From her spot behind the bar, Lily had a direct view of the newcomer. The dark outline of a man appeared in the doorway, his shoulders filling the frame.”
Then the author has fun with this again,
“You wouldn’t know interesting if it walked up and tapped you on the shoulder,” Gaspar told Phil.
Which of course, it does,
“Head still lowered, he tapped Phil on the shoulder. Phil jumped, then swiveled around. He craned his head back.”
It is old silly movie tropes and it was delightful.

Dom lost his fiance before they could complete the life bonding ritual. Ever since, he has been numb, making him the best wolf for the job of putting down latent werewolves who cross the wrong lines. Lily is supposedly latent, meaning second class and undesirable in wolf culture. She puts up with a lot of abuse from wolves who can turn, and there's only so much a person can take before they snap. Getting attacked by a drunk wolf, she tries to defend herself and the drunk ends up dead(total accident). When she is accused of murder, Dom is sent to put her down. Things aren't what them seem in the bayou, though. When the only person in the world that she cares about gets captured, she knows she can't leave him behind. Will Dom help her, or sentence her to death without knowing the facts?

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "WHAT A WOLF DEMANDS" Dominic Prado is Beta and an enforcer he tracks down fugitives and brings them to his Alpha to decide if their guilty or not he list the love of his life so this suits him just fine with his lonely existence.
Lily is a latent and she's on the run for a murder she didn't commit she works in a bar with on her way home she gets attacked he winds up dead and she runs for her life.
Dom captures Lily and finds put no one in her pack wants her they want to kill her without a trial so he will protect her and prove her innocence because he believes her they end up in bed their chemistry is steamy.
Will Dom be able to get Lily to safety and prove her innocence is she really latent or something else so well written by Amy Penzza so well worth the read I definitely recomnend I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and storyline.

I’ve read all four stories in this series and this one was my favorite. The twists and turns in this story kept it a page-turner. Dom is a self-proclaimed loner, while Lily has fought every day for her slim existence. When she meets Dom, her fight and flight responses kick in, and she manages to use them to endear Dom.
Amy Pennza’s cleverness when creating her characters and their paranormal traits are unexpected; this makes her stories and writing standout compared to other shifter-stories I have read.

reading this book is self harm. it’s poor pacing (standard for this series, but not bitten & bound) and poor character development (immediate 180 personality changes) and after 3 books about how hard it is for them to reproduce, Lily and Dom get pregnant? and Lizette can hear the baby’s heartbeat? it’s been max a week since the book began. that is not how pregnancy works. i could forgive it bc paranormal books just do that shit sometimes, but the random dropping of witch and vampire lore? after 3 books of nothing but werewolves?? my expectations were in hell and yet somehow this books still managed to miss them by a mile.

Sweet Dom!
Dominic’s story was so much better than I could’ve ever anticipated. It was sweet, spicy, and so angsty. Hearing a little bit about his background and the relationship that the other books alluded to broke my heart. It was so sad to read how little he wanted for himself. But then came in sweet Lily, and she turns his world upside down. I love that this series is about people that have nobodies gaining somebodies. I am so sad that there is only one other book in the series, but this story definitely was worth the wait!

And again, what a great story. I love how it took a completely different turn. And yes I now love Dom ❤️ And Lily is simply amazing. Their love wow. I want what they have. Truly beautiful.
Another fantastic book from Amy Pennza. At this point I just want to read everything she has ever written, because every single one I have picked up I have loved. I am so excited to continue with the next and final story in this series. I already adored Haley in the earlier books, so I cannot wait to follow her journey ❤️

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also this author is new to me, but not for long.
Holy shiznet!!! This story is gr8. Werewolves who can't turn are considered latents, and by most others as useless. Lily is a latent and treated like a second class citizen. I recommend this read 5 Thumbs up

Grateful Second Chance
So happy that Dom got his own book. Tragic back story for both. I’ve read the books in order but I think you’d probably still understand it regardless. I definitely enjoy flawed, head strong and yet vulnerable characters. Not sure if AP will continue with this crew as I don’t remember any more main/supporting characters that would be built out. Oh- maybe she can do a next generation but still interact with Max/Lizette, Remy/ Sophie and Dom/Lily.

This is an amazing storyline that flows smoothly from beginning to the end. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is off the charts. I loved tha hot alpha male and the sexy and sassy female that keep him on his toes.

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.
I'm new to this series and to the author. This was a great book. I didn't need to read the other books to know what was going on. Dominic and Lily are fantastic. The writing pulls you in quickly and keeps you on the edge. I'm going to go back and read the other books.

Yay! LOVE FOR DOM!!!!
Okay, so Max and Lizette are still my favs, but this story was so awesome!!!!!! I loved the full circle moment of getting to the story of how Don’s heart was broken. I also LOVED Lily’s storyline! She was a true fighter 💛 But my FAVORITE part was FINALLY getting a pup on the timeline! Love love love!!!!

I love Remy!!! I wish his story was the last one so I could see his antics in other books!! Maybe he’s in other series by the author, I should look. He’s a lot of fun and I appreciate how the author handled that while still making him act like what we would expect of a wolf that has found his mate! I liked it!

A enjoyable story. The story will keep you flipping pages to see what will happen next with Lily and Dom. The characters are developed well and have great chemistry. A great read.

Amazing
I was so happy to read Dom's story. It was heartbreaking hearing his story about Sabrina.
Lily is a firecracker alright and just the type of woman Dom needs.
The storyline was amazing and the twists and turns kept me on edge and kept me glued.

i wanted to like this because i needed a pallet cleanser after Ugly Love, i'm still reeling, but this was mediocre. sometimes mediocre is just what you need for times like these BUT unfortunately, this was not it.
1.5 stars.

I am also equally done with human heroines who like to run away from their problems so their immortal boy can save them even though they refuse to listen and have no regard for their life (for the sake of being ‘snarky’).
Yah no thank you - DNF don’t care when

Amazing
I absolutely love this series the characters have to fight for the happily ever after, not just from other humans or wolves but within themselves just as much
