Cry Wolfe

Ravenous #3

by Luna Kayne

SHE’S ABOUT TO LEARN THAT WOLVES CRAVE THE HUNT,
AND HE’S THE BADDEST OF THEM ALL.

MARCUS WOLFE
I’m the guy everyone refers to when they say, “I know a guy.”
I find things out, I get things done, and I help people—until the night I didn’t, and that mistake cost someone their life.
Now, I’m finding my way back from that dark place when Elle Sinclair stumbles onto my path.
I quickly learn she craves every depraved thing I want to do to her, and it chips away at the darkness I thought I’d left behind.
She’s asked me to help her, but I’ve already decided I want her for myself, and I intend to teach her a lesson she’ll never forget.

ELLE SINCLAIR
I once craved the rush of being hunted and taken. I finally gathered the courage to explore my darkest fantasies, and it ended in a disaster of epic proportions when a real-life stalker set their sights on me.
Once I’m safe, I decide the best way to move forward is to put my needs behind me. Then I meet Marcus Wolfe.
His dominance and predatory inclinations ignite feelings I thought I had evolved from, but I only buried them away, and our desire isn’t the only thing that flares to life.
It turns out my stalker never left me after all.

It took me some time getting into this one, but once I did I was hooked.

Elle, is a strong and independent character who runs a successful business, she likes to keep her personal and work life separate, but after an incident happened a few years back, she had to let two of the people she trusts in on her secret, that she is a member of a club, where she is a submissive. She hasn't been a member or at a club for a few years, and has tried to leave that life behind. That is until meets a man who is capable of giving her everything she wants with making her feel safe at the same time, Marcus.

Marcus, part owner of a security company. When he is at Ravenous giving tips on self-defence he sees Elle. And he instantly knows that she is not only different but perfect for him. As the days go on he finds out that someone is stalking her and he will do everything he can to protect and not fail her.

Elle and Marcus's chemistry was amazing, loved the development of their relationship and the suspense of who was stalking her kept me on edge and damn, I mean, I had an idea of who it might be but it still shocked me when I found out anyway 🙈

I love Luna’s writing so much and this book was so good! I didn’t want to put it down. This book was fun and spicy. I was on the edge of my seat as they tried to figure out who Elle’s stalker was and I was not disappointed by the twists and turns.

Marcus is definitely my favorite of the guys in the Ravenous series so far and I’ve been impatiently waiting for his book since he was first introduced in Run Wilde. He was kind, caring, patient and oh so swoon worthy as a dom. I loved how he was constantly checking in with Elle to make sure he knew what she wanted and was comfortable. He was so protective but also willing to give her space when needed which was pretty remarkable considering his past. I loved him so much!

I loved Elle. She was smart, confident, and sexy. Although past experiences with a stalker made her hesitant to explore her secret fantasies until Marcus came along and provided the safety and security for her explore. For someone who had a stalker before, I felt like she made one too many excuses for the strange things that kept happening. So I’m glad she had Marcus in her life.

The one thing I wish this book had was a CNC scene. I do logically understand why it was left out. But there was so much discussion about it and they laid groundwork for her to feel safe, that I was disappointed by its absence.

I love so many of the side characters in this book and I can’t decide who I hope the next book is about because I want books about all of them!

After having read Step Darkly and Run Wilde i started looking forward to this third installment! Ever since i stumbled across a post about this book i knew i wanted to read it. I picked it up and got right back into the Ravenous world! I so enjoyed this story!

Marcus and Elle's journey pulled me in right from the get go! Elle runs an event planning business and is trying to move forward from the past. Marcus runs Wolfe Security with his siblings and is determined to keep others safe. When Elle's friend / owner of Club Ravenous invites her to a safety session event her world collides with Marcus's. Will Elle and Marcus give into their desires? and can Marcus protect Elle from danger?

I got so into this Marcus and Elle's story so quickly. I loved that there was such realness to both of them and that they'd been through things in their lives. There was such strength to Elle and i related to her. Marcus and his protective ways had me falling for him! The chemistry between these two was undeniable and they brought many feels to this book loving heart of mine. I wasn't sure everything to expect in their story which had me even more into it.

It was awesome being back in the Ravenous world and getting to reunite with familiar faces!

With Cry Wolfe, Ms.Kayne has created such a good and dark read that kept me on my toes and feeling so much! I can't wait to read what she comes up with next!

With Cry Wolfe is my first encounter with Ms.Kayne writing and thanks to Grey's Promotions who have sent me the ARC, who has created such a good and dark read that kept me on my toes and feeling so much!
Cry Wolfe is the 3rd yet standalone book in the Ravenous Series. During the book we see both main characters pov's which led us through their emotional, their everyday struggle to have everything in order for the others, their sexual tension they have but dare not to admit. Ellie is seen as the hard-working CEO bitch who runs her own event planning company, who on the inside is a total mess, with trust issues and due to a traumatic experience she had with one of her lovers. On the other, Marcus was the perfect amount of brooding, pain in the ass, protective, and spicy guy. His alpha personality and domineering energy are well written and they are deeply shown when he helped Elle accept her own submissive desires. His relationship with his siblings was also amazing
The twists, suspense, and mystery in this book were fantastic. I was on the edge the entire time trying to figure out who Elle’s stalker was and what they would do next. As the story progressed and more were happening i couldnt wait to found out the real name, although i have to admit i loved the reveal, though. It was so well crafted and hinted at throughout the story.
I can't wait to read what she comes up with next!

“Wolves crave the hunt. You would do well to remember that.”

I loved this story. Marcus is one of my favorite Luna MMCs and his relationship with Elle was so wonderfully written. Luna just may be the queen of dom/sub relationships and I’ll never tire of reading her stories about them.

Elle was so intriguing to me–with her difficult past and deep, dark desires, I was utterly entranced and when Marcus finally helped her come to the realization of how the two are different and how they can both exist separately within her, I was screaming with understanding and contentment. I really enjoyed their self defense training scenes and watching it all come full circle in the end as Elle began trusting herself more and showing off her strong side was everything.

Marcus was fantastic–the perfect amount of brooding, protective, and spicy. I loved his alpha personality and his domineering energy, as well as the way he helped Elle accept her own submissive desires. His relationship with his siblings was also amazing and I really hope we get to see more of the Wolfe family in the future.

The twists, suspense, and mystery in this book were fantastic. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time trying to figure out who Elle’s stalker was and what they would do next. As the story progressed, the stakes were heightened, he became more unhinged, and my anxiety skyrocketed. I loved the reveal, though. It was so well crafted and hinted at throughout the story and Luna did an excellent job of setting it all up.

4.5 stars

I fully enjoyed this story with its complex characters, forbidden moments and suspense. Having never read this author before it was a great introduction to the dark edge of her writing.

Marcus Wolfe runs a security firm with his family and he specializes in finding a person's vulnerabilities and shoring up defenses. When Wolfe Security is hired to assess security at a high profile event at an adult club, he's introduced to the club owner's best friend, and event planner extraordinaire, Elle Sinclair. Marcus enjoys their back and forth and finds her distinctive desires the perfect counterpoint to his own.

Elle Sinclair is a successful business owner and event planner by day. She's strong, loyal and has unique cravings she's been keeping to herself for a long while. Her past has convinced her that her desires are weird and depraved but Marcus makes her feel seen for the first time.

I loved this story, despite its slow start for me. Elle and Marcus' relationship has an unique push pull to it but also an element of complete understanding, which is something Elle hasn't experienced in a long time. Marcus makes her see there is power in her vulnerability and her stalker adds a whole other layer. I also truly enjoyed the familial relationship of the Wolfes and how they made her part of the family. Great read!

The third book in the Ravenous series and this series is one that gets better with each new release. Cry Wolfe is the tale of Marcus, a security consultant and Elle, an events planner. Elle is submissive in her private life and fantasises about being preyed upon until one day her fantasy becomes a reality and she realises its not so much fun. Marcus is a dominant and more than happy to fulfil Elle’s desires but when his presence in her life causes her stalker to escalate his attentions, he’s in a race against time to expose who it is before it’s too late.

I loved the characters in Cry Wolfe especially the heroine Elle who was more mature and experienced than the heroines from the previous two books. She knew what she was looking for in a partner and Marcus fit the bill perfectly. With great chemistry, their relationship quickly developed from a business to a personal footing even if Marcus did more than a little nudging to help things along. The plot dealing with the hidden threat against the heroine ramped up the tension throughout until the identity of stalker was exposed which I admit came as a complete surprise to me. For me, this was definitely the best book in the series so far.

5/5 ⭐
3/5 🌶️

I absolutely loved this story. From the characters, to the story to the spice, it was all so, so good. Luna writes some of my favorite Dom/sub relationships and Marcus and Elle were no different. Add in a little stalker drama and I was sucked in from beginning to end as I finished this one in basically one sitting.

Marcus was amazing. His ultra alpha personality fit so well with Elle's need to let go and be dominated. She was so used to being the boss at work, that when she got home she needed to let it all go. She melted for his praise and loved being his prey. Some of my favorite scenes were him teaching her to defend herself, I loved their back and forth during and the fact that she was learning to take control of her safety. She was hands down my favorite FMC from this series to this point.

I don't want to say a lot about the villain and his motives because I don't want to spoil it... But this story played out with some incredible twists and turns. I especially loved the very end and how his downfall played out. I wish we could have gotten a true CNC scene and more from these two happily ever after, but it looks like Ravenous isn't finished yet, so hopefully we'll get to see them again soon!

~Wolves crave the hunt~

Wow. Where should I start! First of all thank you Luna Kayne for giving me the opportunity to be part of the ARC team. This was my first read from this author and I loved the story. It's a standalone but characters are interconnected. I will be going back to read Joshua's and Noah's stories and I can't wait to see what she does with Jax and Kill characters in the future 🤗.

The story follows Elle and Marcus. Elle is a successful business woman on the workforce with submissive/prey desires in her private life.

Marcus is co-owner of a security company with his brothers and sister. His job is to assess ways a building/location can be prone to break-ins. In his private life he's a dominant/predator.

Elle and Marcus have this chemistry and pull since the beginning. Their business relationship builds into a personal one and they find themselves in a race for time trying to figure out who's out to harm Elle.

The story has the perfect amount of spice. Plot. Character development. Leaving you wanting to get to the end while at the same time making you take your time as to not let it end.

This is definitely a read more than once book for me!

[Amy [Book Addict Reviews] · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elle and Marcus, I love them! Elle is a CEO of her own business, she is a BA when it comes to her career, but outside of her career she has some different interests. Marcus is 100% alpha male and co-owns a security business with his siblings. From the start you can tell these two are perfect for each other and what the other needs to truly balance out their life.

The chemistry, the spice, the passion, the mystery. I was here for every single bit of it. I love they built a business relationship that truly benefits both of them along with building their personal relationship. Plus, while Elle is being stalked by a mysterious person, Marcus is there working trying to figure out who it is before it is too late.

It was great getting Josh/Emilia and Hazel/Noah, again. Plus, I loved getting to know Marcus’s siblings, so I hope there will be more with them in the future.

If you’re looking for an erotic, dark, alpha hero, romantic suspense check this one out!

This is the 3rd book in the series.
This was Marcus and Elle's story.
Marcus is a mysterious character and he is a Dom. He works in Security.
Elle is a strong and knows what she wants in life.
Elle has certain desires and being hunted was one. But now she has a stalker she doesn't like that fantasy as much. Elle is an even planner by day and a submissive by night.
So when Elle asks for help from Marcus, things go from professional to personal. The perfect possessive Dom has found his submissive in Elle.
As their relationship starts to grow, Elle's stalker has decided to up his game!!

Now can Marcus save Elle on time?
Will they both get their HEA?
Who is the stalker?

In this story their was, so much Suspense, angst, drama, twist, a lots of kinky steam.
I really enjoyed reading this book, read it so quickly because I kept wanted to know what's going to happen next.

[Linda Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thrilling, steamy and angsty romance, looking forward to the other brothers’ stories
Although I thought I knew “who done it” from the start, I was very intrigued throughout this book. Oh. My. Word. When Marcus is introduced at first, I thought we were looking into the mind of the perpetrator. Then you find out why he’s doing what he’s doing. Marcus Wolfe becomes even more interesting. But then, he meets Elle and you can almost feel him cornering his victim like the wolf he styles himself to be. Kayne has written a fascinating, suave, and charismatic character in Wolfe. Elle has a sneaky secret admirer; the things he/she does causes Elle to doubt herself. Is it real or imagined? Whoa! The ending had me chewing my cuticles. So intense. If you like thrillers with passion and steam, you really must read this book. So good! I volunteered to review an ARC of it through BookSirens.

Three words: intense. Thrilling. Captivating.

This book had me covered in goosebumps in some places and questioning my own security.

An excellent book, filled with thrills and suspense. I certainly didn't expect the twist (and I'm not referring to the culprit).

This book really sucks you in, and you simply HAVE to keep reading, it's undeniable.

The author not only got the stalker elements just right to be captivating and scary, but the way she also contrasted dom/sub with actual danger was brilliant.

The sexual tension was hot and perfectly executed between two main characters that are fabulously written and who have fantastic development throughout!

This is a thoroughly enjoyable read!

A good book to pass the time

Since I believe most authors try to do their best and work hard for their books, I hope they take what the readers have to say as constructive criticism. The book was well written, but it felt a bit amateurish. This is a light read that includes very steamy scenes and mystery. Elle, the FMC is the CEO of her event planning company. While publicly she is always in control, privately she wants a partner that is Dominant and can give her what she craves. This book needed a bit more character development, and even though, the mystery fits nicely with the story, it was not hard to figure out who was the villain of the story, which made it somewhat predictable. All in all, a good book to pass the time.

I really enjoy this series of connected standalones!

If you're into a lighter side of a book with a lot of hot sex then you'll enjoy these books! The characters in each book are connected to the last ...so I read them in order because I got more insight into the couples. Each book has a perfect amount of intrigue to add to the drama. They're quick reads and well written. I hope Luna writes more about these people.. The third Wolfe brother, Kill, the relationship that is blossoming between Lexa and Jax...I felt like they were just left hanging so maybe there's another book for them? Hint hint lol. I fell in love with the Wolfe family and really I think you'll be happy you chose these to read!

This is Book 3 in the Ravenous Series and my first read by this author, and I must say that I quite enjoyed the storyline and characters. It is a gripping romance between Marcus and Elle. These flawed souls, the combustible chemistry, the strong connection, and the unique plot make for an intriguing read. It is a love story with a healthy dose of drama and danger, sexual tension and chemistry, plus engaging secondary characters. It can be read as a standalone but you enhance your reading pleasure if you read the other books in the series.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Grey's Promotions and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

I love Marcus alpha bad boy dominant vibe. Elora owns Ravenous and when she meets Marcus there is a spark but we do not see in turn into a full flame until a bit later. Their first date is only a fraction of what we will get from these two. The book has a great storyline and flows nicely. The mystery surrounding Elora and even though she is tough as nails she lets herself go with Marcus. It does not hurt the story at all only enhances it. Great read, Luna is fairly new to me and I did enjoy this book.

What I love most about the third book in this amazing series, is of course, the characters. They weave together beautifully to create a chemistry like only Luna Kayne can achieve. There is always an instant bond you feel being formed, regardless of it's the supporting cast or the main characters.
Marcus and Elle are fantastic! Their level of banter, be it sarcastic or caring, was flawless.
The feeling of danger lurking just around the corner was palpable and when it struck, it did not disappoint! Another wonderfully written book by an incredible author!

Highly recommended!

Plenty of plot to keep your mind whirling while your libido gets a workout too!

Ms. Kayne is fast becoming a go to author for suspense and a side of steamy romance. Cry Wolfe is the third book in the series and I couldn't put any of them down. I ended up binge reading all three. Marcus Wolfe enjoys the hunt especially when it comes to Elle. They both enjoy a specific kink and Ms. Kayne added an edge of your seat twist with a stalker that Elle doesn't see coming. Fantastic read.

This book went beyond my expectations. Marcus was a mystery in the last book and I instantly wanted to read his when I finished Noah's book. This story went beyond everything I thought and gave me everything I craved. Elle was an amazing character who progressed through the story. Marcus was primal which I loved. Half way through I had a prediction and had my jaw drop when I turned out to be right. This was one hell of a ride. I hope there's more.

This one was a little more intense, but so good. It has some very real scenarios and it can be a lot.
Man the line Wolfe said when he first met Elle 🫠"wolves crave the hunt. You would do well to remember that" my brain would have short circuited, lol.
Elle pissed me off in some of the things she did or said and Wolfe was just completely understanding and so sweet. A total teddy bear.
