Silverlake Shifters #2
White Wolf Mate
A Wolf on the Edge
Rafe Connors is losing it, taking crazy risks and starting bar fights just to keep his wolf sane. One rainy night he goes too far, and an angry posse runs him off the road into a ravine. Left for dead, Rafe is rescued by a mysterious white wolf shifter, who tends his wounds and then disappears.
A Wolf in Hiding
Terin Whitney has no memory of her childhood, or the trauma that stole her past. Ever since her human protector died, she’s survived on her own. She can’t forget the breathtaking man she saved, but all her instincts tell her she needs to stay out of sight, or the danger she escaped in the past will find her in the present.
Two Worlds Collide
When Rafe encounters a group of poachers hunting Terin, he knows he has to find her first. But his gentle, artistic lone wolf is terrified of leaving her isolated cabin and relying on strangers for protection.
Rafe will wait as long as it takes to win Terin’s trust—and her love. But with the hunters closing in, Terin will have to find the courage to listen to her heart, or risk losing everything.
Silverlake Shifters
Smokin’ hot shifter men with hearts of gold; the strong, passionate women who love them; secrets, lies and danger; naughty, steamy love scenes—and happily ever afters.

After all that SH!T I talked about book One and then turn around and read book two an hour later😏
I enjoyed this story so much more... usually I love book 1 and then the following books in this series fall short of book 1s palpable chemistry.
Wrong -- I loved Rafe's diluted patience and Terins fierce independence.
I'll elaborate more later but wanted to get down my primary thoughts.
I would recommend reading this in order. Even though each book is about a different couple there is a backstory (throughline) connecting the circumstances. Otherwise you might miss the connections their drawing outside of the individual love stories.

Good But First Book Was Better
4.25 Stars.
This started out great and there was a lot of good throughout.
But the pace was a bit off.
I think some of it was Whitney's refusal to at least try in certain areas. I don't want to say what those areas are because that would lead to some major spoilers.
As far as action, humor and steamy sex scenes, those were all great.
I really liked this one but I loved the first one.
Looking forward to reading the next in this series and exploring more of this author's work.

Rafe Connors meets his White Wolf Mate, Terin Whitney when she runs in front of his motorcycle causing him to go over the cliff and wreck his bike. She is a lone wolf living alone on a mountain near his pack's home territory on Silverlake Mountain. She carries him to a cave with supplies and works to help him and tend his injuries. This starts a romance even if she resists the mating bond and wants to keep living alone, follow her passions and not be crowded by other people or shifters. She has no memory of her childhood or ever living in a pack and it frightens her.
The action starts from page one when a group of rednecks are chasing Rafe on his motorcycle when he goes over the cliff. A group of military types show up looking for a 'killer' white wolf and keep coming back, Terin's cabin is burned to the ground and Rafe helps her escape and find happiness within the mating bond they share when she learns trust.
I love how Rafe changed to help Terin. I loved how Terin sensed Rafe's pain and let him share it with her and how both of them matured and learned to give to the other what they needed to complete the strong bond between them.

Okay little novella. Short so light on characterization. Story didn’t resolve the heroine’s conflict.

disappointed and a little surprised
From the description of Rafe in the other books, I figured that this would be my fav book in the series just because Rafe seems like my kinda guy. He is fun, silly, outgoing and has a propensity for getting into trouble. All the things that I gravitate to in my MC but for a lot of reasons...White Wolf fell short. I was hoping to learn more about the pack and waaay more about Rafe in this but i was let down. I understood why the first book was the way that it was (skimpy on the info)... Jace was away from the pack and trying to help Emma the whole time so explanation of all things pack were on the back burner but I figured that this book would explain most of the things that I was questioning and it just didn't. For example, at one point it was stated that everyone in the pack gathered around and I assumed it was just the 5 guys but APPARENTLY there are more people in the pack than that... that should be something that I know as a reader...I dont know maybe I missed that explanation tbh I started skimming a little bit because I just got a little bored. The boredom is most likely/ partially due to the fact that I have no tolerance for shy, anxious or timid characters which is what Terin is for most of the book. And although WE LOVE a multifaceted character. The POV of Rafe tried to show a take on a strong but insecure wolf which was the right idea but didn't really show both sides of him well... the fun side AND the insecure side... we wanted a melting pot and what we got was the poor me, I'm second stuff which was just sad. Lastly, although this is a book about shifters and they shifted and talked about the mating bond and what have you ...I didn't feel like I was reading a paranormal romance which kinda defeats the purpose of me reading the book in the first place. So yeaaa I know that it sounds like I hate this book but I didn't. It wasn't terrible just not what I wanted.

PNR w/ a lone ‘ghost wolf’ and a protective alpha
While this could be read as a stand-alone, I recommend it be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction, as there are reoccurring characters, consecutive timelines and overarching themes.
There are some scenes with potential triggers for sensitive readers. I listed some examples below. In this story, we see familiar protagonists and new issues that may be a part of the series going forward. Here is a little bit about how the story begins:
Rafe is the second in command for the Silverlake pack in Idaho. He has a reputation of being a little irresponsible, unsettled and restless, but those feelings have really grown since his alpha, Jace, met Emma, his fated mated (book #1). Rafe finds himself picking fights more often and unable to really focus, which just increases his feelings of being unnecessary and unneeded by the pack.
Those feelings lead him to go out for a few beers and get into a bar fight. Which leads to his current predicament: Rafe, riding his motorcycle too fast in the rain, on a dirt and gravel road, up and around a mountain side, while being chased by some guys in pickup trucks with rifles. Apparently they were the wrong ones to goad into a fight … now he needs to get far enough ahead of them so he can make the turn into Grizzly’s hidden driveway entrance.
Rafe almost made it, but a sudden appearance of a beautiful white wolf in the road made him swerve. This caused him to go off and over the side. Rafe broke his leg in several places, dislocated his knee, impaled his upper chest on a tree limb, all before he hit his head and was knocked out. The last thing he remembered before losing consciousness was one of the men getting ready to shoot him as he lay helpless at the bottom of the ravine.
Terin has lived by herself since her husband passed about 4 years ago. She was out running when she accidentally caused the man, who she could scent was like her and a wolf shifter, to lose control trying to avoid her. Terin couldn’t leave him like that, she had to help him. The men were shocked when they saw her and mistook her for the ‘ghost wolf’ and scattered when she started to run towards them.
She made her way back to help the man. Terin stabilized him the best she could before she carried him to one of her supply caves not from away. She set his bones, applied a splint, and dressed his head and shoulder after she removed the branch. Right at first she wasn’t sure he would make it, but fortunately he was strong. Terin was able to get him to drink some herbs that she made into a tea that should also help with healing.
At one point the man woke up and touched her. Terin felt something unfamiliar, a longing for more from him. She doesn’t really trust anyone so she feels it would be better if she was gone when he woke up. That way he can’t hurt her when he leaves or is disappointed when he realizes that she is a monster. Those feelings were exacerbated since she couldn’t remember anything before her husband found her, and he thought those things about her before he died. If he felt like that after knowing her for years, how could anyone else think something different?
Rafe woke up hurting all over, but at least he was alive. He remembered his Angel that took care of him and realized she was actually real. She must have lived in the area for some time looking at the supplies gathered in the cave. He got dressed and heard some noise outside. He went outside and saw multiple men outfitted in paramilitary gear with hunting dogs. What they said made every protective instincts he possessed rise within him … They were looking for a white wolf.

Rafe. The packs second. Can't help but love him - a mouth that runs without filter but we begin his tale with him having moments of restlessness and the need to burn energy off in the form of fighting.
It's this that causes the latest yahoos that he beat in a bar fight to follow him on his bike to carry it on. Rafe was fine and judging the road well......until a white wolf stepped out....he swerved and flew off......
The yahoos thinking the white wolf was a ghost....
She was a shifter. And she took 2 days to care for Rafe. But left before he woke.
But Rafe has her scent and followers her...immediately recognising her as his mate.
But she's a lone wolf. And so skittish. So easily spooked.
And Rafe is the opposite.
It takes all his effort to stay quiet, patient and calm with her. To wait for her. To listen to her.
And boy does she have a story.
And we hear from the same villain of the story that began from the beginning with Jaces mate Emma - but he's expanded and gone into the black market of shifter trading.
So much happens to Terin and in such a short amount of time....she runs.
To return to her cabin burning....
All the things that made her feel safe....the quilt she made, her dishes.....she feels the pain of their loss more.
But while she howls her loss at the side of the forest a man grabs her....
of course there must be some around thinking they smoked her out....
Rafes truck wasn't there when she looked but he's gotta save her....right??!!

This was a great story...
This is the second book in the 'Silverlake Shifter' series. I found this to be an enjoyable read, characters well written, I look forward to reading more about the Silverlake Shifters.
This story is about Rafe, if you read the first book in the series then you know he's got an uncensored filter. This is the one thing I really like about him! But lately he's been reckless, at least that's how it's described in the book. I think it's more like something is close by but because he can't see it he can't put together what it or who it is. So during one of his reckless moments he finds himself being chased by some crazy hicks with alcohol and guns to pass the time.
Terin has no memories of her past, lone wolf by choice. At a young age she was saved by a human named Ben, she couldn't remember anything from her past. She hid who she was from him, as time went by he grew sick and paranoid. Eventually he found out her secret and turned on her. After betraying her, he died from one of his own traps. For four years she lived alone and trusted no-one but herself. She stayed away from people until she came across a man at the bottom of a ravine.
I enjoyed the fast-paced action, the sexy scenes, and fight scene with the pack against the bad military men. Even though Terin can't remember her past you can just tell it's going to be a constant adventure for the Silverlake pack. One adventure I look forward to reading.

2 Good 2!
This 2nd book was just as good as the 1st book in this series.
Terin is a lone wolf with no memory of her past before a man named Ben found her in the woods; Ben was human & even though she had been with him for awhile he was also a sick & paranoid man that got worse in time. Eventually he found out that she was a wolf & things went downhill from there until he died by his own hand.
Rafe, ever since Emma & Jace mated has been feeling left out & reckless; reckless to the point where he picks a fight with the wrong humans. He gets into a bad motorcycle accident but Terin helps him heal from his injuries & that is the beginning of their relationship.
This book was very good in that it was fast-paced action with some sex scenes & a fight scene between good vs bad as some bad men dressed up in military outfits were looking for Terin & they also knew Emma's ex. One of the men did feel familiar to Terin like she should know him but she of course can't remember anything from her past. That man go what was coming to him though & the others with him got a warning not to come back.
I like this series a lot & will be reading the next book in this series sometime today.

Ghost Wolf
Rafe Connors is second to the alpha of the Silverlake Mountain pack, a pack he helped build from the ground up. But he doesn't see himself as worthy and spends his down time living on the edge, trying to fill the hole in his center. One night he goes too far, however, and ends up at the bottom of a ravine, busted up and bleeding out.
Terin Whitney is a lone white wolf who lives in the forest near the Silverlake Pack, but she's managed to keep off their radar until the night a motorcycle goes off a ridge. She finds the rider at the bottom and scares away the drunks that were pursuing him. She then carries the man who smells like a wolf shifter to a cave where she tends to his injuries. A few days later, Rafe comes to alone, but with the memory of a white wolf and an angel, and the reality of a group of hunters who are tracking a white wolf. Rafe doesn't know where she's gone, but he has to find and warn her about the trouble headed her way.
This is a great follow-up to book one, the story of the pack's alpha. And I love that the series is available through the KU library, because it looks like I'm going to be reading the entire series, it's that good. Book three is up next.

Becoming One
Anastasia Wilde has always been a favourite paranormal author of mine. She has the uncanny ability to draw you into the shifters world even with all their differences of being part human and part shifters
Ì find her storyline’s intense and full of smart people who also experience the animal desires and instinct of the shifters along with the melding of magic that grows within both sides of their natural selves.
Being connected to the wild side of mother nature causes the pack to stay off the grid, being different creates fear in most people, so mistrust and fear often keep both shifters and people away from knowing about the other.
With the intensity of the magical bonding found within the pack that seems to be changing, allowing humans and shifters to experience the depth and desire together.
This author gives us a chance to believe the world she has created for us, çould be worthwhile and real allowing us to believe in the possibilities she has described for us
Even though this would is only fantasy if presented in such a way that the desire causes us to want to jump into the story this tells me that the author has a natural and magical ability to help dreams come true.

This is the second book in the first series. It is really necessary to start at the beginning with Fugitive mate and work through them all in the right order, as given inside I read some of these series but realised that by just reading a few, randomly, I was missing the bigger picture, so I started from the first book, and I'm reading all the books starting with the first, Fugitive Mate, in the correct order. I love all the characters, they are so well written, each with their own traumatic history, leaving them with doubts and problems, mainly caused by hunters wanting to kill, sell or experiment on shifters. It is necessary to read the books in order to read the whole story that runs through, and connects the characters in each of the books. I love the way that, although there are different series, about different groups, they are connected and interact with each other.
Flynn is a larger than life, legendary character, and only his dominance can bring together a motley group of broken, tortured people/animal shifters and make them into a strong crew who love, fight and will do anything for each other. Only a strong, equally powerful woman can capture his heart. This is a great story, as much a thriller as a romance, as are all the books. There is a full list in order in each of the books. If you like paranormal/shifter stories, thrillers and love and romance with a strong dose of sex, these interconnected books are for you! book. The reason is that, although there are seperate series, they are actually all part of a bigger story. I love the way the characters from each series interact with each other. Each story is about a character who, because of traumatic experiences in their past, has left them feeling "broken". I have loved every character, they are so well written that I feel their pain, and their joy when they find their fated mate. Rafe is a particularly endearing character. However, its not all love and mush, the bigger story is a thriller and a continual fight against evil forces. Every time I've finished one, I can't wait to start the next!

This is Rafe’s book, the second in the Shifterlake pack. He comes across very differently in this book than he did in the first, though we didn’t see him much in Fugitive Mate. I thought he’d be the fun loving one (we’re at least told he is, many times) but his actions showed different.
I liked the premise of Terin nursing him back to health after finding him injured, but Terin on the whole didn’t work for me. And we don’t get any answers in this book. A big mystery is introduced with the MC’s past and it brushes it, and I did expect it to be resolved in this book (since it was hers). It was this huge thing that went nowhere. I’m interested enough to continue the series even though this one didn’t feel like an entire story on its own.

"White Wolf Mate" gets off to a very promising start, whether it holds up is entirely up to the author.
And it does! It is very sweet and touching as Rafe and Terin try to get to know each other - she's also a Shifter, but one without memories of her past, and despite her attraction to Rafe she is unwilling to give up her solitary and, until now, peaceful life.
Kane, the Pack enforcer and security leader, continues to be a total pain in the ass. A classic comment from him:- "We’re a small, new pack, and we need to move forward making rational, strategic mating and trade decisions that bring us beneficial alliances."
Yeah, right! Meanwhile Rafe is getting his "My Mate" on.
It's far too short but it is beautifully done - I may have shed a tear or two!
If I had a quibble it would be that Terin's history is never disclosed, but I suspect that it is part of a larger story arc.
4 Stars.

Interesting and enjoyable read that starts out fast and carries you along for the ride.
Would like to have found out about Terin’s past but I am sure that will come out sometime.
Glad that a baddie got his just deserts instead of getting away.
Rafe is the second of the pack but feels like he is not worth anything due to his past. I think he was brave, for a 15-year-old it would not have been easy fighting trained wolves from the other pack and he has done more than his fair share since to get all grounded and buy the mountain. I loved his foot in mouth problems when talking to Terin.
Terin was a very interesting heroine, no memory from before she was 16 and basically lived like a hermit.
Not quite sure how she could have married Ben when she never left the mountain.
The ending was really enjoyable.

I ended up listening to this book on Audible instead of reading it. I think it would have been a pretty good book if it weren’t for the narration.
Who doesn’t know how to pronounce the name “Rafe”? This is the second book in the series and in book one they pronounce it correctly all the way through. Yet here, in the second book they pronounced it “Rafy” sounding like “Macy” the whole way through it. Who does that??? It ruined the whole book!!! Don’t they do any research into a book before narrating a digital version?
Every time they mispronounced the MAIN CHARACTER’S NAME I cringed. It reminded me of someone saying “uh” in a speech over and over. Pretty soon you’re no longer hearing the rest of the words, you’re just counting how many times they they say “uh” or mispronounce a name instead.
This was very frustrating for me!

I really enjoyed this one. Rafe is hillarious and I was super excited to read about him and who his mate would be. Terin was very tough. she survived losing her memory at a young age, betrayal by someone she thought loved her and then living alone for years before meeting Rafe. when he crashed his bike because of her she protected him and helped him heal. the hardest thing she had to do was to trust.. and she quickly saw that Rafe was worth the risk... the intimate scenes between these two were hot but they were also sweet and tender which seemed to be the overall tone of their relationship. I very much recommend this one but I think they should be read in order so u understand the danger that is faced in the story.

Second book in the series wasn't quite as good as the first one for me, still ok but not as wow!
Rafe came across as a bit of a screw up and insecure about his place in the pack. Now to be a second to the Alpha I would expect him to be a bit more on top of things but still he was very lovable.
Terin has had a rough life and I really would have loved more details on why she was being hunted (other then just being a white wolf?!?!). What happened 10 years ago for her to have lost all her memories? I felt like we were left with quite a few unanswered questions and that is a little annoying for me.
Kane and all the other pack members made appearances and I do still think I will continue with the series, just not in a great hurry too.
Overall an ok addition to the series.

Nice story
Rafe, beta in his pack, avoids hitting a white wolf with his motorcycle, crashes, and is severely injured. Terin shifts back into her human form and helps him heal. Now he has to convince this lone wolf to join the pack and be his mate.
Characters were typical of shifter romances by being not well developed. Attraction was instant, as is the case with most shifter romances. Plot was interesting, but not gripping. Terin's past was not resolved, and what happened to Rafe's motorcycle?
Stand alone HEA, with hints of other books before and after this story.
Contains sex scenes, swear words, and violence (car accident, arson, threatening, attempted murder, attempted kidnapping).

The big kid gets his girl.
Rafe, second to the alpha, is just a big kid at heart and feels a little lost when his new pack starts settling into a regular life. He ends up badly hurt and a mysterious beautiful Tarin nurses him back to health, then disappears. After following her to make sure she's okay, he discovers Tarin, a rare white wolf, is living all alone off the grid and away from civilization. As they're getting to know one another trouble ensues and the Silverlake Pack comes to her rescue. The story was engaging but a HFN. Wish there was more, but I still recommend this book.

This book needs more pages!!!
This is the second book. You can get through it without reading the first, but why would you want to? Start and the beginning and really invest in the whole story. It’s worth it.
That being said,
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW…
…So, now the bad guy’s dead (not really a spoiler, is it??) and we’ll never know why he had a vendetta against Terin. Couldn’t he have had at least a little villain monologue? I cried with Rafe because, well, I love him. I didn’t love Terin, though, because I just didn’t know enough about the heroine..AGAIN. Excited to meet Jesse’s mate, though…See you there!

It’s not a great book but it’s fine to pass the time.
The alpha’s second is helped by a lone wolf in the forest after an accident and then he just can’t seem to let her go.
She’s missing her memory’s from before she was 16 and for the past 10. Years had been living in the forest. A conspiracy theorist found her at 16 and took care of her (they ended up getting married apparently but it just kinda creepy to me)
He died and when stranger men kept coming into the forest apparently looking for her the alpha second had to get his pack to help her. She is his mate.
There’s some spice and a quick story, the books okay…

This is Rafe and Terin's story . Terin due to memory loss has no clue who she is and when the man that found her lost his mind and killed himself she is once again on her own . Rafe is feeling out of sorts after his friend mated and is totally out of control doing all he can to try to keep his wolf sane . Thanks to Terin saving him life starts to get really interesting once again ! This is a well written page turner that will have you wanting more !!
This is strongly recommended to everyone !! .
