Salem Pack #3

Wolf's Woman

Rate this book
Wyatt Rivers has always had a big heart when it comes to his pack, but love is a little more complicated for a werewolf. Now that his new Alpha has found his one true mate, he’s pushing the rest of the pack to do the same. Wyatt has touched plenty of women skin to skin over the years, and his wolf has remained silent. He didn’t expect that to change the night he visited the Grand Club and hooked up with a leggy brunette.   

Ashleigh Merrit has been burned by love and men for the last time, but she can’t bring herself to swear off them completely. A one night stand with a tall sexy man in a Boston club couldn’t hurt. No strings attached. She didn’t even tell him her real name. But when this third grade teacher from Salem brings her class on a field trip to the Munro Family Farms she comes face to face with the hot guy who rocked her world.

After kicking himself for allowing his mate to slip through his fingers, fate delivers her right to his doorstep, but the Coven of Shadows is cooking up some deadly revenge magic, and Wyatt will do anything to keep his mate safe, even if it means rejecting the only woman he will ever love.

Received as an ARC, I am leaving my honest review. Wyatt has his hands full right from the start after a chance meeting at a dance club has surprising reactions. The wolf has finally found his mate, after coming to the notion that it was never to be. Hang onto your heart and your breath as the heat builds and the pursuit begins. It is never easy to let someone know they are your mate, but when the person doesn’t even know she is really a witch, who is being tracked, the story gets very interesting, very fast. Beautifully written, with lots of suspense, heated moments, and heartfelt emotions will have you howling for more

Third book of the series. I’ve really enjoyed the series. We’ve gotten to know the characters more and more with each book. This time Wyatt is one of the main characters. He has given up on finding his mate as he only has found disappointment and heartache when he hasn’t found her. But fate knows what it is doing. For Ashleigh she never expected to see the handsome male ever again. She also will be more than sure when her whole view on herself and life will be forever changed. Danger isn’t going to give these two the chance at romance as it hunts them and those they care for.

Fun shifter action and romance! Not huge on the whole one night stand/ not giving the correct name scenario, but love the fated mates scenario. Wyatt has wanted a mate for a bit and finds that in Ashleigh, but Ashleigh isn’t fully truthful and has some walls built up because she has some interesting stuff going on with her; some otherworldly stuff going on, but fate has its way! Sweet chemistry between them! There’s a bit danger going on too! A fun read! Really enjoy this author’s writing style!

I was happy to see Wyatt's story and ecstatic when I learned who his mate is. There are twisty-turns, suspense, and an HEA, of course. It did feel a little rushed, but not in a bad way. The story flows along at a fast clip. You also to get to meet a couple new and interesting people whom I hope are highlighted in the next one. Overall, I loved it.

Fast paced read that is steamy hot. Werewolf hunters after wolf parts is a new twist. Ashleigh being a wind elemental is as well. Makes for a good story.

Wyatt just wanted to blow off some steam but boy he wasn't expecting to find his other half, his mate . Ashleigh just wanted a one night stand, she doesn't do relationships at all. When they meet sparks fly but how do they find each other again. There were no strings attached one night stand. Until the day that she shows up at Munroe's farm and walks smack into the middle of Wyatt and his twin brother. When fate throws them a curve ball Wyatt and Ashleigh are thrown together when someone is after her and also killing the members of the Salem Pack. Will they be able to stay together or will Wyatt send her away to keep her safe .

Ok lets dive right into these characters, all i can say is holy wow. Wyatt is the guy you want to have on your side . Not only is he sexy but he is a good guy who would do anything to keep you safe . But. like any good hero he is also burdened by the past and also what will happen. Ashleigh well she is actually kind of a mess, she has sworn off men well kind of . She does like to have a one night stand every now and then. She is actually a sweet woman who has been hurt in her life and also is having to hide a secret that she is scared of. She does grow into her own by the end of the book which is so great to see . We also get to meet Micah a jaguar shifter from if I am not mistaken from the Sedona pack ( a cross over from the that series ). He is all about protection and is there to keep the pack safe during the full moon. He is kind of mysterious but oh so sexy. He fits right in with the Salem pack and doing his best to keep those safe and secure. The rest of the pack is back along with the witches of the Coven of light. We really get to see them all come together as a family when things start to go wrong .

Even though this is the third book in the series you really can get lost in the book if you haven't read the other books. The characters are so well written and you will fall for each of them. The author has a way to take her characters and put them through the wringer but have them come out better and stronger then ever . There is a love story with action thrown in for fun. Reading books from this author are like coming home for a big hug after you have been away for awhile . So if you want a fun beach read for the last part of summer check it out You will not be disappointed

Oh i liked this one, even without prior knowledge about the series we are easily immersed into the universe and we understand Wyatt all too easily....now that knows for a fact that mate exist he wants his own but time lead to deception when it not never the right one....he is not easy to log for something we are not sure we will come accross. Then when we do.....poor Wyatt has a lot on his plate Ashleigh is intelligent, funny BUT she is thinking she can't get into any relationship because of her powers she is not understanding or mastering.....so she is pushing him away.
However danger is near and Ash can't be kept in the dark anymore....

i really liked how the group got together to help ....i liked every character from the pack and the coven of light, even Micah who i would love to learn more about.

There are a lot of action, very steamy moment and some cute ones, some devastating ones as well so it's a pleasure to read, i was not happy with every decision Ash made but i liked the story

If a brilliant paranormal romantic suspense is what you read
This is definitely a book (and series) you need!
The Salem wolf pack are under threat
But with the witch coven they may win yet!

Wyatt Rivers has almost given up his search for his mate
When in a Boston nightclub he meets his fate.
However, an unforgettable night together and she's away
Not wanting to know more or to stay.

A false name, no details, he's distraught
Considering what he did and what he ought.
Then a school visit to the farm and she's there
Can he prove to her that he'll really care?

With secrets, surprises, magic and mystery,
Along with family drama and unexpected history,
This is a story to blow you away
With funnels, tornadoes and trees gently sway...

With detective work needed to uncover what's true
A fantastic addition to this series, I highly recommend to you.
There are more paranormals and twists galore
In this fascinating read - I can't wait to read more!

For my complementary copy of this book, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.

This is the third book in the series, and as some questions are answered, more come to the surface as the mystery and drama ramp up. I really liked Ashleigh's ability to control wind, her gift as an Elemental witch, and felt it was the coolest ability amongst the witches so far. I didn't understand or agree with some of Wyatt's decisions in relation to "protecting" Ashleigh. He was reacting to his emotions and not thinking his actions through at all. I'm really anxious to see what direction Ms. Kessler has in mind for the continuing storyline in the next book. I'm addicted to this series and to pretty much everything she writes! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

A chance meeting (hookup), and Wyatt meets his mate. Unfortunately, she gave him a fake name and now can’t find her. Fate intercedes and they meet again. This time Wyatt is taking no chances.

I loved Wyatt and Ashleigh’s story but there were a couple of times I wanted to knock Wyatt upside the head. Danger is lurking around the corner and Wyatt pushes her away thinking he is bringing the danger to Ashleigh. But it’s the other way around.

New paranormals are brought into the mix and I love the direction the story went. Can’t wait to see if the author expands on it.

I loved reading about Wyatt and Ashleigh. They have an interesting way of meeting, and of course fate keeps putting them in each other's path. There are so many twists in this book, throwing obstacles in their way. Then we also meet up with the rest of the pack, and find out more about what's going on. It gets exciting and I cant wait to see what happens next. *I was gifted Arc for my honest opinion.*

What a wonderful addition to this series. Wyatt and Ashleigh were great together. Revisiting with the other characters was just perfect, they didn’t overshadow but enough I enjoyed them again. The excitement of the hunt, in more ways than one, kept me turning pages. A werewolf story never felt so real. It was hot and steamy as always. Book gifted to me.

Sexy and exciting, danger around every corner, wolf shifters, witches and now a new unknown enemy. Great story, characters with chemistry, Wyatt meets his mate Ashley as a one night stand and she runs. She is afraid of her power that she doesn't know how to control. But destiny steps in and this couple is meant to be

Wolf's Woman: Fated Mates Paranormal Romance with Shifters, Witches and Magic (Salem Pack Book 3) By Lisa Kessler. Wyatt Rivers and Ashleigh Merrit was intriguing. I did not read the first two book in this series. However, I really enjoyed this story …

I mean it was okay. I listened to the audiobook and the Male voice kind of ruined it for me.
