Seneca Falls Shifters #1
Tempting the Wild Wolf
There are reasons wild wolves avoid humans, stay out of cities, and never remain in one place long enough to call it home. Nick Pearson understands those reasons better than most, which is why he’s spent most of his life living as a drifter. A life that is upended when he inherits a partnership in a rundown mountain resort along with a brother and sister he didn’t know existed.
The last thing he expects is Mandy Jenson, a gorgeous, wrench-wielding plumber, to walk into his newly acquired existence. She is his mate and a temptation he can’t resist.
When a rival shifter threatens his home and her life, Nick will do whatever it takes to keep Mandy safe and claim her as his own.

Mandy Jenson had an uneasy feeling as she entered the living room of the old cabin. The Seneca Falls Resort had been closed for business for months now, so there shouldn’t be anyone here while it was undergoing renovation. Mandy was a plumber/handyperson who would be doing some of the repairs and upgrades for the new owners. As she examined the leaky pipes under the sink, she noticed the pipe was wet – someone had recently used it, and that feeling of not being alone was still with her! Twisting the wrench on the pipe, she heard a low, threatening growl and it sounded close by. She slowly backed out of the cabinet and turned to the door where she saw a man, crouched and partially shifted with fangs and claws. Mandy knew of shifters because her best friend, Berkley, had shifted in high school to protect Mandy and save her life. So she lowered her head in submission and told the shifter she would call for someone who could explain this situation. The shifter nodded and she called Reese, Berkley’s brother and one of the new owners.
Reese arrived and spoke to Nick who turned out to be the stepbrother Berkley had mentioned, the resort’s third partner. They were not aware he had returned from his trip and was using this cabin. But Reese needed the repairs done soon, as this one was in the worst shape. Nick went to his room and changed clothes, thinking about Mandy, and his wolf thought MATE. No, what are the odds that he’s find his mate, the one female meant for him, in his own bathroom? His wolf didn’t care about luck. So he walked to the main lodge.
Nick’s wolf was part wild wolf, known to be more aggressive and short-tempered. Most didn’t get along with either other shifters or humans. Most never settled down. So he had promised his sister he would try the family thing for a year. When Reese joined him in the office, he reminded Nick that not all humans knew about shifters. Then they talked about the break-ins and damage being done to the outlying cabins. The vandalism was probably being done by a hotel owner living near their property, but they couldn’t prove it – yet. Even some suppliers in town were being pressured not to do business with them. So Nick, who had worked in construction, had travelled to Denver to arrange for supplies from a friend of his. But their troubles are not over. Will they solve the mystery of who is trying to ruin their business? Will Nick accept that his wolf is right about Mandy being his mate? Will he be able to keep her safe when her life is put in danger?
This is a very well written book that I thoroughly enjoyed! Nick is struggling to fit in with his new family and settle down in one place. His family is trying to restart their resort business inherited from their grandfather but being vandalized by an outside source. Mystery, love, and danger all combine in this exciting story line. Grab your copy and enjoy reading how it all plays out!

A huge part of my love of reading just about any genre is discovering new-to-me authors, many will become auto-read, auto-buy at some point (usually after the second book). So, while I may be coming to the ‘Seneca Falls Shifters’ series a bit late that didn’t make any difference to my complete enjoyment and need for more of these shifters who populate this particular world. ‘Tempting the Wild Wolf’ drew me in from the first chapter and didn’t let go until the final page – and the need to go download the next book in this series.
Nick is everything I adore in a growly wolf shifter. A loner, a bit wild, and once he finds his mate then he’s done… except for the chase, the need to convince her that she is his everything for the rest of their lives. He’s also protective of not only his mate but his family as well. And when danger comes for one of them, it comes for them all – and Nick is right there in protection mode, especially protecting Mandy.
Mandy’s best friend is a wolf shifter, so while working in one of the lodge’s cabins she wasn’t totally afraid of the growling half-shifted male at the bathroom door. Not.. totally. What a way to meet the lone half-brother that Berkley’s talked about. And what a way to feel all those “I’m attracted” feelings come back to life when she’d sworn off of men forever. Right now, Mandy has no idea that she’s Nick’s mate but she’s about to get to know this lone wolf a lot better, fall deeper, and maybe get herself in a lot of trouble before their happy ending comes true.
I had such fun with ‘Tempting the Wild Wolf’. There are several secondary characters that I cannot wait to read about, a definite danger to not only the lodge but everyone who lives there, and a threat headed directly for Mandy who Nick will do anything to protect. This couple worked just right for me from the start and following their journey to falling in love and forever mates was an absolute delight – and effectively got me hooked on this series.
If you love a lone wolf romance, if a touch of danger is your thing if watching a love story unfold before your eyes will always make you misty-eyed — then check out ‘Tempting the Wild Wolf’ and the ‘Seneca Falls Shifters’ series, you’ll be hooked, too.

Nick has inherited 1/3 of a resort along with a brother and sister he had never known about. He's grown up as a wild wolf with very little connection with others. Mandy works for her father's plumbing business and is working at the resort. She was emotionally hurt a year previously and has sworn off men. She knows about shifters since Nick's sister, Berkeley, had to shift when the girls were in their teens to protect Mandy. When she meets Nick, sparks fly. Nick knows she is his mate but is conflicted about telling her, thinking she would be better off without him. Mandy is drawn to Nick but is concerned he is going to leave town. Evil comes their way from a very influential shifter that wants to own the resort using any means possible. The story was entertaining and held my interest. I loved the banter between Nick and Mandy - they were great together. Little Bear was also a favorite of mine. I also enjoyed watching Nick get closer to others and grow emotionally. He was such a sweetheart even though he had a gruff side. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Nick Pearson, a wolf-shifter with a wild wolf heritage, does not believe he will ever settle down - but had promised his sister to try to stay for 1 year. He had not expected that his wolf would react to Mandy, his sister's best - human - friend in such an unusual way and recognizing her as his mate.
A typical love story? Yes, and no. Interwoven with the story is a mystery/crime story, as the sibling's resort is facing vandalism and threats.
A nice balance of the two threads, interesting and entertaining, well-written throughout.

This is a fantastic paranormal romance. It moves along at a brisk pace; is a solid read that is quick, entertaining and consistent. It is well written, funny, witty, and exciting. The story flows so well that I was at the last page craving more. Wonderful characters, the chemistry between them is potent and intense. Quite a bit happened in this book including kidnapping, vandalism, and murder. This story flows really well and is quite the enjoyable read.

A drifter trying to stay alone since he has a secret and avoiding people is the way to go. Now like most things fate set in and Mandy enters his life. She is his mate a wolf always knows his mate. This shifter storyline was a super read. We had danger and suspense and some unreal twists. It looks like there will be a second book so looking forward to that. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Nick knew Mandy was his mate the first time he saw her. The story from there involves treachery, intimidation, kidnapping, and attempted murder. The characters were all strong and vivid, especially Bear. This is my first time with this author and I absolutely will be watching for more books from her. Really good read.

This is the first Rayna Tyler book I've read and it won't be the last. The characters and storyline was well written and enjoyable. Nick is a wolf shifter and knew Mandy was his mate when he first saw her in his bathroom. This book was a fun read with drama, adventure, romance, and mystery. I love this book and buying the other books in this series!

This is an enjoyable series opener and makes me anxious for more to come! Take a lone wolf and throw in a feisty plumber, that has had her self esteem kicked to the curb by her ex, and you end up with a story full of sizzling chemistry, witty banter and steam. This one also has suspense, danger, mystery and twists. It was a thoroughly entertaining reading ride!

Great Characters
Tempting the Wolf Wolf is book 1 of Rayna Tyler's Seneca Falls series. The characters are great. The idea of finding an adult sibling you didn't know you had and forming a family is intriguing. Throw in a shady shifter, threats and a mate you have a wonderful story.

Wolf Bound by Kayleigh King
H-Nick- inherited a resort with his sister/brother he didn’t know existed
h- Mandy- Plummer
I think this had a lot of potential but it really felt short. It was too predictable, not original at all & super short. The sex scenes were nonexistent. I didn’t like it at all. I think my favorite character is the puppy named Bear 😍🥰

Tempting the Wild Wolf
I wondered how someone hadn't tried to take the smarmy bastard out, how obnoxious he was. I knew Nick was going to do some serious damage once he got the men that tried to harm his mate. Mandy should have let Nick scare her ex a little more.

Mandy is afraid to love again. Nick is afraid to make roots. The first time they meet is hysterical. The dog is cute. The love story was beautiful. The action was good. I ready enjoyed the ending. This was a good story.
