Guardian Wolves #2
Wolf Claimed
There’s nothing like a murder to interrupt a romance with three shifters... or launch it forward.
Alyssa, code name Artemis. Alyssa thought being the only woman in the Department of Shifter Affair’s new human-shifter training program would cause trouble. UNDERSTATEMENT! She has three shifters competing for her, another group of shifters trying to control her, and the DSA agent in charge... well, he’s not bothering anyone any more. He’s been murdered, and all eyes are on Alyssa. Sure her knife was found in the body, but that doesn’t mean she killed him. And the fact that the agent was trying to boot her from the program isn’t a motive. Not really. Okay, maybe.
At least things can’t get worse.
In walks Agent Gallagher, an a**hole with an agenda. Okay, she can avoid him. Maybe. As for Tiernan, of course he has to go feral during the murder investigation. Then there’s Maddox, her white wolf who pushes her away every time they start to get close. Nope, there’s not enough time to explain it all, especially with Rafe, her growly alpha, thinking he can control the a bunch of antagonistic shifters and the DSA. Oh, and her three shifters all want her. Her three shifters from three different packs.
Alyssa can’t choose between them. Then again, she doesn’t have to. She’ll choose all three. . . as soon as she figures out how.
◆◆◆
Ours to Protect. Ours to Love.
Wolf Claimed is the second book in a steamy reverse harem shifter romance trilogy. The story begins with Wolf Desired and finishes with Wolf Unleashed. The story involves three shifters (one bossy, one sweet, and one too devilish for anyone’s good) and the female agent who has secrets that could destroy them all. Get ready for steam, action, and several twists along the way. Each book in the trilogy ends in a very Happy Ever After.

Book Two in the Series
Book two continues with Artemis, Rafe, Tiernan and Madox learning to function as a group, not realizing they are forming their own pack. The lead DSA Agent, Graves, has been murdered and someone is trying to frame Artemis. Are her guys going to stand back and let her be framed?
When Artemis’s real identity is ”accidentally” leaked by the new DSA agent in charge of the murder investigation, suddenly everyone is after Artemis. The humans think she killed Graves and the shifters want to use her to draw out her father so they can kill both of them for revenge.
And what does Artemis want? Her guys of course, but she is having trouble understanding why she is equally attracted to all three of them. How can that possibly work with three territorial male wolves?
This book is fast paced with lots of action. I was surprised by the ending and can’t wait for the next book to come out!

First things first let's all be honets here and admit that all three male shifters most definitely want their mate. That said they are all perfect examples of denial, confusion, self-hate, lack of self-worth and much as I hate to say it, mainly for Tiernan who cannot help his current nature, feral. They desire her but deny themselves and her when possibly this is the worst thing that they could do!
For her part Alyssa is battling pretty much every second of every day and against pretty much everything. She wants to protect Tiernan, she is getting frustrated with Maddox pushing her away just when she thinks that they are maybe coming to an understanding and don't get her started on Rafe. The others are all out to get her and yet she cannot deny that there is definitely something shady going on. Is there any hope for them?
I so need to know what happens next! There is everything you could possibly want in this.

There was a lot happening in this book. There was a lot of movement and growth with Artemis and her men. And their individual and group relationships are really ramping up.
Plus secrets are coming out and the world is going crazy. There was so much happening with the DSA and shifters and fallout from the murder. Added on top of the relationship stuff and this book felt non-stop. At some point I lost the narrative and had to go back a few pages. Because I wanted to know what happened but also so much was happening. There were some really quiet and sweet moments added in so the characters (and the reader frankly) could catch their breath and get their bearings but it was quite a ride.
We ended on a very nice HFN but I cannot wait for the last book in the trilogy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this read! I did not read the first one, which would have made some things make more sense. However, I do think this was ok as a stand alone, although I do want the next one to finish the story. This is different than most shifter and reverse harem stories that I have read, so leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens. I will probably go back and read the first in the series. There was lots of steam and action happening. There are twists going on, that I'm still trying to figure out where it's going. Each of the men are different and complement each other. Artemis(Allysa) is a strong woman that is strong and goes after what she wants. Good read and will read the rest of the series!

This is the second book in the series and I loved it. The complicated connection and relationships that Alyssa has with Maddox, Tiernan and Rafe and that they in turn have with each other, not only as wolves from different packs but also because they each want Alyssa for themselves is a brilliant multi faceted part of the story. They have trouble with both the shifters and humans and Alyssa gets blamed for something she didn’t do which has almost catastrophic consequences for her and which will only escalate in the next and final book. I’m both excited about reading it and dreading it because I don’t want it to end.
This book is really good and I definitely recommend it. . I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This novel started with a bang, picking right up where the cliffhanger had ended book 1 in the series. There was plenty of very high stakes, danger, and action which kept me turning the pages rapidly. The world building was very well explained for newcomers to this universe in book 1. The heroine was strong and deeply sympathetic, and the three heroes were deliciously alpha in the romance novel sense. I really appreciated the fact that this RH had no MM, since it is becoming hard to find for people like me who enjoy it. I highly recommend this novel. .

Wolf Claimed - book 2 in this series and it followed on quickly from that killer (quite literally!) cliffhanger ending of the murder in book 1. Artemis/Alyssa's true identity comes to light in spectacular fashion and it puts her life at risk but also brings up a whole host of new questions about her background and who she actually is. With all this going along side the story at the heart of this series which for me is Alyssa and her dynamic with Rafe, Tiernan and Maddox. Each with their own problems and anxieties which add to the drama. This series just keeps getting better and better. Im dying to get my hands on the last book now
March 24, 2022
This is Wolf Claimed the second book in this series. It’s a reverse harem story. It’s a trilogy of Artemis and her harem. I love shifter books and this one had a lot happening. I’ve not read the first in the series and it would’ve been even better if I had. Even with out having read the first book it was a very enjoyable action packed read. I will definitely be going back to read the first book and I highly suggest reading the books in order. .

Murder oh my
When things hit a bump in a road, well you just have to fight to make it over it. Still fighting to stay at the DSA. She knew there would be trouble but no one could predict how much. Trouble comes in from a few shifters trying to control her. A DSA agent out to get her or was. All eyes look at Alyssa. Now the person who’s investigation the murder is an asshole. All the while dealing with three shifters that are always around her. Holy hell what it flows so well. 10/10 recommend this book.

There is a lot happening in this installment and it sure was a fast paced read. With secrets being aired, troubles with the DSA and their little pack not quite ready to act as a team, everything seems to be work for Allysa ;) That being said, there were quiet moments, and some sweet to go with the steam, as they work on their relationship and the crazy world around them. I can't wait to dive into the final book to see how the twists unfold and if they'll get their HEA. Good fun!

The action is moving right along (in between getting to know each other better!) and the plot is thickening. Who killed Graves? What was the reason behind his death? Will Tiernan be saved from going feral? Who will Artemis choose? There is so much going on with a surprise cliff hanger that it will be hard to wait for the conclusion to their story!.

I can’t get enough of these shifters and their story! I can’t wait to see what comes next. There are twists and turns that I did not see coming, that keep me on the edge of my seat. There is so much intrigue going on along with complication s between Alyssa, Rafe, Maddox and Tiernan. Not to mention the hot and steamy sex that knocks your socks off. Couldn’t put it down!.

Blood bonded wolves 2
The more I read this series,the more I love it. The story is unique, the story telling is addictive the characters are believable. Tirnan I want him to feel the bond and be secure so very badly. Maddox is a complex character I want to unwrap. The alpha man I want him to bond her. I hope his father tells the old stories and quits being a butt. So many questions I need answers for. I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens next!

This story focuses more on Alyssa (Artemis) and Maddox though Tiernan and Rafe continue to star. Alyssa is a human working for DSA trying to educate both humans and shifters about getting along. All three wolves each from a different pack want her as theirs. She wants all three but is also trying to prove her innocence in the bosses death, and staying alive and safe while being framed.

I enjoyed reading the second installment to this series. I fell back in love the characters and the storyline. I had a hard time putting it down.
I love shifters and their human mates stories. In this case a RH mates story. Loved it! I cannot wait to read more of this series and more from this author.

After book one, I thought I knew what was going to happen, but I was oh so very wrong. Well, somewhat wrong. There were a lot of steps forward with the relationships but some steps backward and a huge cliff. Still really enjoyed it and am anxiously waiting for book 3..

I really enjoyed this second book. All eyes are on Alyssa, her knife was found in the died body of the DSA agent in charged. Her three shifters all want her and she doesn’t want to choose because she wants them all. This is an action, suspense, steamy and dangerous adventure that you don’t want to miss..

The spice really ramped up this book and it was great writing on that, the murder mystery aspect of the story I did enjoy but felt like it could have been done better but the ending came out of the blue and I’m in shock of it and will be reading the third book ASAP!
