Westfield Wolves #3
The Wolf Next Door
They can't even be in the same room together...
Ever since their failed elopement years ago, Prisca Hawthorne has taunted, insulted, and in every way tried to push him away. If only her heart didn't break every time Lord William Westfield left her...
But staying apart is even worse...
Lord William throws himself into drinking, gambling, and debauchery and pretends not to care about Prisca at all. But when he returns to find a rival werewolf vying for her hand, he'll stop at nothing to claim the woman who should have been his all along.
Can Prisca forgive the unforgivable, or are the moon-crossed lovers going to be forced into a battle of wills that could be fatal?

Well, I agree with the reviewer who said that the Prisca of this book is NOTHING like the strong, independent woman we saw in book one. She's witchy-with-a-B (and that's saying something, 'cause there's two actual witches in this book), insecure, and really, not a very sympathetic character. If I were Will (who acts like an idiot, yes, but doesn't deserve all she puts him through in the end), I would have left her at her father's around page ten. It's like she had a book-long bout of uber-PMS. (And seriously, how is it possible for a woman to grow up in the country with not one, not two, but five older brothers and not have a clue about--ahem--male anatomy? How?) Please, please, PLEASE let Caitrin not suffer a similar personality transplant in book four. I'm not sure I'll be able to take it if she does.

After reading a Wolf Next Door I just couldn't wait to find out what happens to Prisca and William who had such a strong presence in their supporting roles - there was just so much tension between the former sweethearts. So I cheated and skipped over Tall, Dark and Wolfish(brother Ben, the hero of the second book, didn't even appear in the first book, so I wasn't going to let his story get in the way of my instant gratification. Though I'll likely read his tale too at some point)
The motivation in Wolf Next Door to finally get William to pursue Prisca, despite the fact that William thinks that she hates him, is that another Lycan appears to poach on his territory. Of course, the fact that Prisca's five brothers have schemed together to hook them up helps spur things along too.
Theirs is a messy courtship and though I enjoyed the story, I occasionally wanted to give the pair a good shaking - 'Big Misunderstandings' are not my favorite plot device. And Prisca's part in perpetuating the misunderstanding dampens her charm at times - she's quick to think the worst of William and never gives him a chance to explain himself. I was more forgiving of William even though he's clueless about what matters to Prisca and nearly ruins his chance for a HEA when he takes the low road to make sure that Prisca is `his' when the other Lycan wants Prisca too.
Still, I liked the book enough to continue with the series. Dare's regency werewolves are still an intriguing mix of historical and paranormal and I found the set up for the next story The Taming of the Wolf to be very promising. I can't wait for the story of the lone wolf who has yet to tame his inner beast and his heroine who for once can't see what she's getting herself into.

Really enjoyed this. I like to see a happy ending. I was so hoping this couple would get to together as Will was so sexy and the chemistry between him and Prissy (nickname) was always there but fighting it. She loved will all along and never thought he would be hers. Will loved her all along but fought his love for her because he was afraid she would love him if he really new what he was.But another Lycan (werewolf) is encroaching on Wills staked claim.He now was to come up with a plan to make Prissy his and very soon before the other wolf seduces her away from him. Will stumbles about Prissy in the woods wet and wounded. He take her to a crofters cabin to warm her and care for her. While there Will makes his move giving Prissy a little alcohol to warm her up and will makes his move to seduce her. But Prissy has other ideas she falls asleep during there love making and his plan goes a rhy. So will comes up with another plan and tells Prissy the she agreed to marry him and they made love so now she has to marry him she is compromised truly.Well we won't have to guess what she has to say to that statement lol she is having none of that but what will her 5 brothers standing outside there cabin say to that lol. This was a great story all around with loving and fun characters and great family and friends. Great romance with a little mystery looking forward to the next book in the series.

I found Wolf Next Door to be thoroughly… meh.
I started off excited about this one because I love a good best friends becoming more story and I truly liked the first two entries in this series. Unfortunately the heroine’s stubborn determination to believe the worst of the hero- (she says more than once, "I dont plan to make this easy for you" and she didn't for the reader either)- creates the most overused plot device to contrive conflict in a romance novel out there right now- “the big misunderstanding”.
Tie that with the hero’s inability to tell said heroine the truth about his part in“the big misunderstanding” and then have him manipulate her rather than TELLING HER THE TRUTH thereby making an even bigger misunderstanding, in addition to throwing in a rogue werewolf out to get the heroine for his own eeeevil purpose- well, needless to say it got old very fast and simply got on more nerves.
I threw in the towel about halfway through right about when she asks him what he keeps in his pocket- because apparently it's hard and always poking her and she just cant imagine what it possible could be! (C'mon, srsly??)
The first two werent bad, this one? eh, not so much.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt Prisca blond? What up wid da cover? ::shrug::
whatever.

I really liked Will and Prisca in the first book-- they were both sympathetic, mischievous and intelligent and seemed like they would be a good pairing. In this book, however, there was no (intentional) mischief and little intelligence in their actions. Will finally realized that he maybe did want Prisca enough to let her know that he wanted her, maybe, and only because another werewolf showed interest in her. Prisca thought that Will was too busy chasing the skirt of every woman in the vicinity to be interested in her, even when it seemed like she should have known better. There was an amazing amount of mistrust, miscommunication and immaturity between them that made this a very frustrating read at times. The pace is fast and the tone is light, but what saved this from being a DNF was the cast of supporting characters. I am likely to read the next in the series, but I think that that will be the deciding factor in whether or not I continue to read this author.

easy light read, the misunderstanding dragged on a bit and plots are thin. but will and prisca are cute characters. not exactly heart-wretching but it will do.

Me ha gustado, pero faltaba algo, no sé qué específicamente, quizá más drama, acción, pero no me atrapó del todo, en ocasiones hasta quise dejarlo.
Me entristece porque Will me encantó desde que apareció y Prisca igual, pero su historia no. No digo que no me gusten juntos, porque lo hacen, pero no me fascinan como las parejas anteriores. Aunque sí que me he reído. ☝🏽
Peeeero, haciéndome un pequeño spoiler me enteré que hay una saga alterna donde habrá vampiros y estoy así: 😏
Alec quiero llegar a tu historia ya.
PD: Salvo la siguiente historia, la cuál le tengo muchas ganas, no ubico a los siguientes personajes de esta saga, así que no sé si terminarla. 🤔

The Wolf Next Door is third and in my opinion, funniest of the Lydia Dare’s Regency werewolves, or rather, Lycans trilogy. It’s also the story that’s been hinted at since the beginning – the story of Prisca Hawthorne and William Westfield who have been antagonizing each other ever since a failed elopement years ago.
This is also the least sexually descriptive of the novels, which didn’t detract from it. The story and the characters were more important than the shagging.
Prisca has lived next door to the Westfields for years, unaware of their lunar activities. She’s also had to contend with several older brothers of her own who at this point in time has decided it’s time to marry her off. They like William, so they are trying to devise a plan to make it appear that William has compromised Prisca. They’ve also invited a school friend for the holidays, Dashiel Thorpe. Unbeknownst to them, he is also a Lycan who falls for Prisca’s charms as well. This moves William to action.
I do like that Prisca isn’t a complete moron. There’s a wolf that’s been visiting her garden on full moons since she was a child, the moment she realizes William is a Lycan, it isn’t a huge mind-blowing revolution that he is, indeed, the same wolf.
While this is really quite an amusing story, it does suffer a little toward the end when there are constant interruptions of the Conversation That Will Resolve Everything. Also, some storylines are tied up and little too quickly and neatly, but I expect that this was more because of word count issues than the author’s neglect or laziness. This novel has so many characters; I can’t help but feel a lot was cut out.
Really, the best parts are when siblings are interacting:
Excerpt:
”I can’t believe she refused to come back with us,” Blaine grumbled as Emory paced the length of their father’s study. Garrick sat in a high-backed chair, staring at the floor and clenching his jaw every few seconds.
“What did you expect her to do? Be happy we arrived to rescue her? She’d never have been placed in that situation if not for our meddling.” Garrick pointed a finger at Emory, Darius, and Blain in turn; his expression so stern that Emory feared a lightning bolt would split the heavens and cleave the three of them into sixes.
“And why did Blackmoor have a musket in the blasted cottage? If she’d never found that, we’d have been able to force her to return.”
“None of this is Blackmoor’s fault.” Garrick’s frown darkened. He was correct, of course. The musket belonged to the duke, but the five of them had given Prisca the ammunition and desire to pull the trigger.
“You should have seen the look on your face when she lifted that gun to her shoulder,” Blaine said, a smile breaking across his mouth. “And the way Will dove for cover was priceless.”

Prisca Hawthorne has loved Lord William for years, but when he broke her heart years ago, she hasn't ever forgotten. She knows that she needs to put him behind her, and move on with her life. Prisca is tired of living in a "limbo" stage. So when a new charming stranger starts to court her, she wonders if this is her time to start a new chapter in her life, until Lord William strides back into her life and makes it much more complicated. William has wanted Prisca for years, and he made a mistake years ago, and he still desires her for his mate; even though she frustrates him to no end. But when he hears of a new man trying to seduce her, he is outraged of another male pouncing on his territory. Soon Prisca has two men trying to court her, and even though William makes her blood heat, she knows she could never trust him again. But will her strength of will be enough to resist him once again?
The Wolf Next Door is the third in the series, and I just have loved the books that I have read so far. In the previous books I have seen William and Prisca battle it out with each other and I have been looking forward to reading their story. The Wolf Next Door is a story set in the regency era, and it also involves Lycans and witches. I have enjoyed Lydia Dare's take on the series, and the unique setting she has placed this series in. Even though Prisca has known William and his family for many years, she has no idea of his family secret. William is back home, and is determined to win Prisca back. He has always loved Prisca, but when a misunderstanding broke her trust in him, he left to try to forget her. But he has realized that he can't live without her, so even though he has some mean competition he will take any action to keep her, and make her fall in love with him again.
The really enjoyed the characters involved in the story. We see the instant passion that William and Prisca have for each other, despite the bickering and fighting they tend to do on a regular basis. William is the hero of the story, and as the reader you can't help but fall in love with him. From the first two books, I have always found Will intriguing, and the way he deals with Prisca is priceless. He definitely has many alpha traits, and beyond sexy. Prisca is very strong willed and feisty, and I enjoyed her bickering with Will. Even though she isn't my favorite heroine, I did enjoy the characteristics of this heroine, and she doesn't let William's nature overcome her feelings to make her own decisions. I enjoyed how this story plays out, and the relationship between William and Prisca could be tense at times, yet sexy and fun at other times. Overall I couldn't help but enjoy this delightful story of sensual tension and intriguing characters and a lively story line that will curl your toes. Not my favorite of the series, but a enjoyable and exciting story. A JEWEL OF A ROMANCE!!

The Wolf Next Door
3 Stars
Synopsis:
Prisca Hawthorne has had it in for William Westfield ever since their failed elopement. She is convinced that she can never trust him again and is determined to make him miserable. William has always loved Prisca and hopes she will forgive him one day, but when a rival Lycan appears on the scene, William realizes that time is running out and he will have to do something to claim the woman he has always wanted.
Review:
I've wanted to read this book since meeting Prisca in A Certain Wolfish Charm but the actual experience is frustrating and disappointing.
Prisca and Will's incessant bickering is more annoying than endearing and their inability to communicate and be honest with each other is simply irritating. A conflict based on a silly misunderstanding (which is only hinted at and never fully fleshed out) is not a particularly enjoyable plot device, and the reason I no longer read contemporary romances.
Prisca comes across as a spoiled and petulant child and Will is not much better. Moreover, the constant interruptions to their intimate moments (while serving a purpose at the end) are forced and detract from the couple's chemistry.
The secondary characters are one of the book's saving graces, especially the banter and interaction between Prisca's brothers. In addition, despite his feral behavior, Dashiel Thorpe is an intriguing and sympathetic character, and it be interesting to see what happens when he meets his match in Caitrin.
In sum, this book fails to live up to its potential and the only reason to read it is for the continuity within the series.

I was truly looking forward to reading, The Wolf Next Door, book three of the Westfield Brothers since Will Westfield, the second brother is my favorite character. However, I was somewhat dissapointed with this installment.
Will and Prisca Hawthorne have had a prickly relationship since their failed elopement many years ago. They both believe the other does not still care and their snippiness towards each other is heartbreaking. All of that changes when a lycan, Dashiel Thorpe (The Earl of Brimsworth) is invited to visit the Hawthorne household during the Christmas holiday. Much to William's dismay, Lord Brimsworth sets his sights for Prisca and refuses to back down. William is not above compromising Prisca in his attempt to keep her safe and away from the rogue lycan. However, he also must contend with the quickly failing health of his mother.
My complaint with this installment is that my favorite characters, William and especially Prisca were "watered down" to spoiled and sniveling idiots. Prisca always presented herself in the previous installments as self confident and proud. Unfortunately, this time she is none of that and reduced to being insecure and pathetic. I enjoyed the subplots of this novel but quickly tired of the bickering between Prisca and Will. I was glad when the end finally came so I am giving this book a 2 and 3/4 rating.

Ni cerita anak kedua dari keluarga Westfield, William. Hubungan dy dengan tokoh cewenya Prisca, semacam cinta benci.
Mereka dah kenal dan bersahabat sejak kecil, Will bahkan dah ngelamar Prisca, sayangnya, ada cewe lain (atau pelacur yah lupa) yang ngaku mengandung anaknya Will, walo akhirnya itu ternyata ga bener, tapi hal itu membuat hubungan mereka berdua jadi renggang.
Prisca sendiri sering didatangi oleh serigala tiap bulan purnama, tanpa dy tau kalo serigala itu sebenarnya adalah Will. Kakak 2 Prisca yang frustasi ingin adik mereka segera menikah, segera membuat rencana agar Prisca menikahi Will, salah satu kakaknya bahkan membawa teman Lord Dashiel Thorpe, buat manas2in Will.
Akhirnya siasat kakak2nya berhasil, akibat suatu keadaan *wew Q ga mau spoiler di mari :D*, Will akhirnya menikahi Prisca. Prisca yang merasa ditipu, menolak malam pertama dengan Will, dan di sisi lain dy didekati oleh Dashiel, yang tanpa sepengetahuan Prisca, adalah werewolf juga. Will yang tahu, berusaha menjauhkan Prisca dari Dashiel dan memenangkan kepercayaan istrinya ini :)
Ceritanya bagus, historical paranormal. Prisca cewe yang kuat,sering bikin Will frustasi ^^
SAM, cewenya virgin, wkwkwkwkwk.
Ehem2nya cuma sekali di bagian akhir *hmpfh*
(yeah we want more :D!!)

Years ago an incident occurred resulting in a failed elopement. Ever since Will & Prisca have been at each other's throats -- even though they were still very much in love with each other. Not that either of them would admit it. But when another werewolf takes an interest in Prisca, Will is determined to do anything to finally make Prisca his for good.
When Will & Prisca appear on the pages of A Certain Wolfish Charm bickering and taunting each other I knew this was gonna be a very interesting story. Both of them are wonderful characters but they are very stubborn. If just one of them would give in they could have been together a long time ago.
The Wolf Next Door was a delightful read. Will and Prisca's chemistry is on fire. Sparks fly when these two are in the same room. This latest Westfield story was funny and romantic and a joy to read. As a whole I'm loving this series, each book sucks you in from the first page to the last. If you've enjoyed the first two books or just looking for something fun to read. I highly recommend this book.

I admit I had been looking forward to this story since I read the first one. Will and Prisca's non-relationship had been prevalent in the other two books and I really wanted to know what had happened with them. I just got tired of all the misunderstandings that could have been settled easily if either had decided to TALK to the other and not make asinine assumptions. I mean if you had seen the man you loved walking into the house CHAINED to a headboard - would the first thought really be that he was out having a fling? And then you have a man doing everything to give you pleasure while not taking his pleasure and you still wonder if he cares about you? It was an ok read but it could have been better.

Entretenido, algo divertido, principalmente por los secundarios que nos encontramos, tantos los nuevos como los que ya conocemos con muchas escenas caseras.
Para mí Will irreconocible, con las ganas que le tenía a esta historia, es más una reunión familiar que la historia entre ellos, que empieza muy bien, pero se va desinflando.

Horrible. Couldn't wait to finish it because it had already wasted so much of my time.

El gran cliché de la literatura es el género romántico. Y, aunque cada vez que leo una novela de este género espero algo más, inevitablemente me siento decepcionada. Por desgracia esta novela no es una excepción.
La manera de escribir de Lydia Dare es sencilla y austera. Y, para mi sorpresa, no abundan las descripciones emocionales, aunque si las situaciones estúpidas, clásicas de cualquier libro de este estilo. No obstante, está bien escrito, aunque resulta pesado y repetitivo en algunos momentos.
Nunca deja de maravillarme, lo mucho que se parecen entre si las historias del género romántico. En realidad sus personajes son estereotipos con distintos nombres, lugares y hechos, y con un argumento que siempre sigue la misma estructura. Como he dicho antes, este libro no es diferente, y salvando el hecho de que alguno de los personajes son licántropos (una manera elegante de decir "hombres-lobos") no tiene nada netamente original, curioso o interesante. De principio a fin es previsible, tópico y convencional.
En definitiva, Mi hombre lobo, es otra novela más de un género que necesita una revisión a fondo si tiene la intención de sobrevivir.

Para mi es el mejor libro de la triología ya que me encantan las relaciones “enemies to lovers”. Des del primer libro ves la química de estos personajes aunque en cada escena que salen juntos hay cuchillos volando. Se ve claramente que estan enamorados y el resto de personajes también lo tienen muy claro, menos ellos dos que estan ciegos.
He disfrutado muchísimo al principio del libro con los hermanos de ella, sobretodo con sus diálogos y sus conspiraciones. Por otro lado, en este libro disfrutamos plenamente de todos los personajes de los otros libros ya que tienen mucha importancia (eso si, todo el mundo da consejos pero se callan la mitad de las cosas liandolo todo aún más 🤦🏻♀️).
El único inconveniente que le veo es que no acabo de entender el malentendido que separo a los personajes cuando eran jovenes, quizá necesitaba que lo explicaran mejor porque no me ha quedado claro del todo. Pero por otra parte, tampoco se han enquistado en el pasado, tuvieron sus problemas pero no afecta a su relación.

I quite enjoyed the previous 2 books and was kind of looking forward to this book although the hero came across as a man whore.
I must say I was very disappointed in this book. The heroine came across as bitchy and insecure, and the hero didn't redeem himself at all in his personality.
But the biggest bug bear was the issue of the ages of the characters when they first got involved.
From the previous two books I had assumed that Lord William and Prisca had grown up together and were childhood sweet hearts. This is NOT the case! There is 9 years difference between them and when they were supposed to have eloped Prisca was only 15 and Lord William was 24. It changed the whole dynamic realizing this and Considering how immature she was even at 19 made it rather yucky and creepy. Especially after they had to worn him away from the 16 year old witch in the previous book.
So no

คาดหวังกับเล่มนี้เพราะเห็นคนเขียนปูทางให้คู่นี้มาตั้งแต่เล่ม 1 ละ แต่พอมาอ่านจริงๆ แล้วไม่ชอบทั้งพระเอกนางเอกเลย น่าเสียดายเพราะพริสกาในเล่ม 1 เป็นตัวประกอบที่น่ารักมาก วิลก็เป็นคนกวนๆ ที่มีเสน่ห์ตลอดสองเล่มที่ผ่านมา แต่พอมาถึงเล่มนี้แล้วพังพินาศทั้งคู่ พริสกานิสัยเด็กน้อยมากกก พร้อมจะเชื่อข้อกล่าวหาแย่ๆ เกี่ยวกับวิลในทันทีโดยไม่ไตร่ตรอง พอรู้ว่าไม่ใช่เรื่องจริงก็ยังปักใจเชื่อว่าเขาเลว ถึงอย่างนั้นก็ยังตัดใจจากเขาไม่ลง (ถ้าคิดว่าเขาเลวร้ายขนาดนั้นทำไมยังรักเขาอยู่??) วิลเลียมก็ทำตัวครึ่งๆ กลางๆ รู้ตัวว่าโดนสาวเกลียดก็เลยประชดชีวิตกลายเป็นหนุ่มเสเพลไปจริงๆ แต่พอมีหนุ่มอื่นโผล่มาก็รีบวิ่งโร่มาขวาง urrghhhh เป็นนิยายที่อ่านแล้วอยากให้พระเอกนางเอกแยกย้ายกันไปคนละทาง อ่านแล้วไม่สามารถ rooting for them ได้จริงๆ และถึงจะรำคาญทั้งคู่ แต่เรารู้สึกว่า william deserved better นะ

I’ve now read all of this series so this review will really be a review of the whole, not of this specific book.
Because oh my god these were terrible in so many ways but just had sooo much potential.
Every single one of our “heroes” was an absolutely horrible person. They were complete jerks, literally the definition of a dick. Our “heroines” we’re all complete dumb dumbs who let themselves get treated like crap but like keep tolerating it because they love the men (who literally treat them terribly). Oh my god.

3.5 because Prissa was a PAIN IN MY ASS, i couldn´t stand her for most of the book and that was sad considering that she was my favorite character in the previous books. Can someone rewrite this book and make her less annoying and make will a brave guy? he´s such a weak character starting after the fifty per cent mark.
i´m pissed. so pissed.
you know what? writting this i changed my mind. scratch the .5, leave it at 3 stars. i doesn´t deserve nothing more.

While the premise was intriguing, I felt like Prisca was sometimes just mean to Will for no reason and Will was condescending to Prisca just to cause drama. Also, I was kind of disappointed in the whole Lycan lore. Even after Prisca read up on it, sometimes she would act like she knew things (“I read it in the book”) and then act like she didn’t (“what happens during a claiming?”).

I love a good regency novel. This one is even more fun because of the paranormal aspect. The thing I really enjoyed the most is that there is a serious side to this. The wolves are not outlandish but just a normal part of the stories.

Tenía muchas espectativas con esta pareja y me decepcionaron bastante. Demasiadas idas y vueltas innecesarias.
