It was the best night of my life… until it wasn't…

Bishop said the words I'd waited my entire life to hear, words I'd given up on hearing: I love you.

And then we were viciously attacked.

Or rather, I was attacked and Bishop protected me. Now he's clinging to life and the only way to save him is to race to the healing pool. I can only pray that we get there in time and that I can hold back my fears and stay strong to keep Knox from going feral.

Which explains why I'm an emotional mess and feel a connection with Cyrus. He doesn't like me and I don't trust him. That voice deep in my soul whispering that he's mine is wrong.

I've been told my entire life that I'm weak but now I have no choice. I have to be stronger than I've ever been in my life for Bishop and Knox.

If I fail… I have no chance for a happily ever after.

Wolf Decided is the fifth book in the Ensnared by the Pack series, an action-packed paranormal romance featuring possessive wolf shifters and a wounded heroine discovering her strength who doesn’t have to choose.

I feel like this series is just full of filler and could have been condensed and done by now. I don’t think I’m even going to bother finishing at this rate. 200 pages of nothing is a drag. I want to know what happens, but I don’t want to read a bunch of nothing to figure it out.

3 stars, another cliffhanger ending. They get attacked after the fair and Bishop is dying.
Why the hell does the author make them travel 5 days to the healing pool? Why can’t it be closer??

Bishop and Audrey miraculously mate bond through a sex dream so there is that, some time saved while spending days in the wild…

Same peeves and I skip a lot but final book next!

Final book of the series. It was a slow burn series, which made me want to finish as I needed to know what happened in the end. I loved the characters, and I was really invested in their HEA.

Good

WARNING! Cliffhanger! Although after the last couple of rather brutal cliffhangers, this one seems a lot calmer, so I give it a 4/5 on the trauma scale, but feels like three if you’ve recently been through the other cliffhangers in this series!

It’s a race against time, as Audrey, Knox, Cyrus, Whil, and Deacon, take a trip to the healing pools to help a critically injured Bishop. It’s another dangerous journey, and they have to push hard to make it- and not without issues!
Meanwhile, there are various troubles with the pack, as some of them have a problem with Audrey claiming the attention of eligible alpha bachelors…

This is a fast paced installment to this ongoing story; no it’s not a standalone, and yes you absolutely need to have read the previous books because this one picks up at the previous (traumatic) cliffhanger, and continues the story.
It’s an engrossing tale, with lots of action, adventure, tension, and even a little steam! If you’ve enjoyed the story so far, then you’ll love this one; and if you’re a rejected/fated mates romantasy lover, then the series is worth the read.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

And the race is on to save Bishop from death after he saves Audrey from an assassin’s blade. Bishop’s twin, Knox, is barely holding his wolf is from going fully feral, and older brother Cyrus is still fighting between his head and his heart in his attraction to his brothers’ mate.

If you can get past the squick of twin brothers simultaneously having sex with their shared mate then head on in as this series barrels headlong towards its end.

Audrey, still struggling with her submissive conditioning is beginning to open up with the pack as Bishop is severely wounded after taking Audrey out for a day of fun, food and dancing, but not all is well in Stonehaven when Bishop boldly revealed he was openly courting Audrey. That’s right, the pack’s most eligible and desired eligible bachelor was coming off of the market and not everyone is pleased. Once the town learns his injury comes while defending Audrey’s life will the pack split further as rumors she was involved begin to spread?

Series Completion Review: [Beware Spoilers]

This is barely a 3-star read. The word "heaved" is used so freaking much (22 times in book 3 and 28 times in book 6 as an example). That seems like such a small thing, but once you notice it you can't stop seeing it. I need synonyms please. The FMC doesn't actually show consistent, solid strength until book 6 - I DNF at 44% and she still didn't have a wolf and still hadn't mated her last guy. So my fears from book 3 were confirmed: The ending was rushed. The pacing of this series is terrible. The events are all pretty much filler, this could have been a trilogy and been better off.

By far the worst series I've read from this author and that is so disappointing.

Another amazing book in this series

It felt like forever for this book to be released but it was worth the wait. I love the female lead and her journey and her men are awesome. All are so well written. And the storyline just keeps building book by book. And myths , gods and goddesses are mixed in with wolf shifters and monsters. And there is love and ordinary self
Doubt mixed in. I highly recommend the whole series. It’s not a fluffy book, it’s meat, potatoes and then dessert!

Love tessa's work.

The books are small, they are never boring, you want to know what will happen, the timeline is slow in the book and there's lots of books.

I wish her fmcs were more assertive but the way she writes her mmcs is delicious.

Also I'm calling it:
Her curse will lift when she mates the third brother.
Her attacker was her old fake mate who went through the rift to kill her. He may or may not be working with the beta bitch.
Oh and the beta bitch because she said to bishop the comment about first mate makes the think she will force him into a fake mating using magic

These Cliffhangers are killing me !

I knew going into there would be a cliffhanger but I still wasn’t ready when it happened lol. I really enjoyed this book as we got more info on Audrey and saw how she was dealing with everything more. I’m really excited for the next book so we can explore the relationship between Bishop, Audrey, and Knox more. Also so we can get into Audrey’s untapped power!

Well...I feel like I wanted more plot than smut this time around. Nothing really happened that we haven't seen in the other books

But I want to know what's going to happen with the delegation and mystery attacker.

This book was also enjoyable. I appreciated learning more about each character, especially Bishop and Knox. I am eagerly anticipating the moment when Cyrus finally realizes that he and Audrey are destined to be together. Deacon's humor is a delightful addition to the story. I am intrigued to discover if the protagonist achieves her revenge

I’m starting to get a little tired of this series. The plot is interesting but there’s too much focus on Audrey’s inner dialogue and a lot of it is very repetitive. I’ll still finish the next book because I’ve come this far and I’m curious.

This is already the book five and I still feel like nothing has happened. Every book has 3 chapters that pushes the plot forward, and the rest are just fillers.

Great series

It's a very good series. Held my attention. I gave it a 4 because of Grammer mistakes and a few punctuation problems.

I'm disappointed. I like the concept of the series and the tropes it includes, but I just can't connect with the main characters or the storyline.
