What is your favorite werewolf romance? > Likes and Comments

List some of your favorite werewolf romance and tell us what you liked most about them.

Book 3 (but on Kresley Cole’s own website I saw it’s actually book 4) of the series, “Immortals After Dark,” Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night is the one that stands out. I enjoy it because it changes locations and the werewolf (Bowen MacRieve) starts out this story entombing Mariketa. Not only is it a rocky start, the two mc’s have an enemies to lovers plot. So it’s a great combination of regret and underestimating each others convictions and power.

I would say my own book, but that would be rude. Ummm... I read a really cute one recently that I'll say is the best so far - The Alpha's Son

Dark by Kat Kinney (Book 1 of Blood Moon, Texas Shifters)

Dark

this one is short, but good.
Mating the Huntress

The Wolf's Captive Was one of my first books I read when I took up reading again… all those years ago. It’s a slight twist to the “werewolf” genre and in the erotic section.

Suanne Wright Feral Sins Phoenix Pack.
Leads into several spin off series that are all combined. Spiral of Need The Mercury Pack.
And When He's an Alpha The Olympus Pride.


Shelly Laurenston has a Pride series that’s great When He Was Bad

Laurann Dohner has the Mating Heat series His Purrfect Mate

And Kresley Cole has a plethora of lycan stories in her Immortals After Dark series: they are all on my audiobook because Robert Petkoff is one of the best, if not #1 narrator of all time, A Hunger Like No Other Pleasure of a Dark Prince

Great recommendations, thanks.

Patricia Briggs 'Alpha & Omega' series
A few YA that I love Quinn Loftis 'The Grey Wolves' and Maggie Stiefvater series 'The wolves of Mercy Falls'

Despite the fact that I usually prefer feline shifters (any species) or multi species (Shelly Laurenston and her absurdity gets ALL the stars!) shifter series these two wolf only series (I can't choose any one book) of my favourites;

UNIQUE,

Wolves who change into (human) skin for survival only,
Bestial in nature
Human Behaviours teacher = a lot of humour!!! And she gets her HEA too.
'First shoes' also = lots of humour!
Female alphas,
Packs within The Pack,
Norse-style mythology,
Rural, off-grid setting,
Disabled characters,
Shifters vs 'Wolves',
Bottom-of-the-pack wolves prove their worth and get their HEAs too,
Redemption of a 'spoilt princess'
Very few human characters
Bittersweet...

One of my favourite series is Jasmin Quinn's Shifters of Darkness Falls - It's not sweet, steamy and lots of use of the word 'savage'.

Darkest MateOh I love this. I am new to Good reads and to this group and I have struggled to find werewolf books. I just finished reading Lola Glass Mate Hunt series. This is a sweet story with some good sex scenes. Alexis Calder Rejected Fate series, has a mixture of magic, wolves and a war spread throughout 3 books. I really like it and recommend. I am so excited to check out all your request. Thanks
Thrown to the Wolves

is one of my favorite.

For a lighter werewolf read I liked Derik's Bane by Mary Janice Davidson. The hero is obsessed with Rachel Ray (the tv chef).

I liked the entire series but I always warn people that the author kills off one of the couples she gave a happy ending to later on in the series. I'm still angry about it.

surely she doesn't kill them off in the same novel does she ?? I read a werewolf story like 8 years ago that was EXCELLENT up until the author killed off the main couple and wrote an epilogue about their funeral in the POV of the next couple in the series :'))

No, she doesn't kill them off in the same novel. Each book in the Wyndham werewolf series is a happy ever after for a different couple.

But she eventually does a cross over with her vampire series (Queen Betsy) and she kills off one of the couples. I know lots of fans were angry about it.

Derik's Bane is safe. The couple is fine and nobody gets murdered.

Love this one!

My favorite wolf book series is Wolf's Call
Great series with a slightly different storyline. Its a different take on becoming a werewolf. Plus there are some GREAT sex scenes.

Zodiac wolves series by Elizabeth Briggs all the way

Everyone has their version or view o what a werewolf is, is more of the romanticized version, or the rabid horror version. I don't think I have read any rabid werewolves as horror isn't really my genre. I prefer wolf shapeshifter books.
Examples:

-Shifters Unbound By: Jennifer Ashley
- Dark Series By: Christine Feehan
a little more racey one:
Breeds Series By: Lora Leigh

Just read the 1st one and I loved it

cool!

Cold Hearted by Heather Guerre.
✅ Shifter romance
✅ Enemies-to-lovers
✅ Slow burn 🔥
✅ Forced proximity / isolated location
✅ Mysterious storyline

I author novels with werewolf romance in it but i can't separate the horror dark fiction from the story. I would love to see what people think.

Is there any that don’t involve the pregnancy trope?

Author Mary Janice Davidson has a werewolf series I enjoy. Each wolf falls head over heels in love.

I also really liked Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross. The hero is a werewolf and someone has cursed him so he cannot shift. His wolf, named Alpha, is very vocal in his head (like Venom the comic book character) so there was a lot of humor.

It was also very steamy yet romantic at the same time. She loves Star Wars. He has never seen the movies. So they watch them together. He goes out and buys a bunch of Star Wars stuff so they can watch the next movie together.

This one hasn't been shelved as romance but it does have a thread of romance. I don't read much YA but I really enjoyed this earlier this year.



It's set in Australia but, to me, had a Twilight setting feel to it. Good stuff.

Thanks M.N.! Going to try it.

It's a series as well, Mony. There is at least one more book after that (possibly two). Hope you enjoy.

Thanks - from Canada!

Psy-Changling by Nalini Singh. Though, they aren’t all wolves, the series actually begins with the cats, eventually gets to the bears, and I heard the most recent book in the works is with a flock of bird shifters, still, it’s amazing. It starts out very classic PNR, but as the cast of characters grows, so does the world building, and the overall story arch beyond the couple in each book. It just gets better and better.

Have you read any of the Dark In You series by Suzanne Wright? Not wolves, but SO good. Better than Phoenix and Mercury, IMO. She also has a new series Devil’s Cradle that is amazing!

I'm quite interested to try the Nalini Singh series. Thanks, Zoi.

Love to hear what you think when you do. :)

Come Here Kitten by Emilia was probably my favorite, BUT if I may self rec, my novel, Come for Me, is out and I’ve been hearing wonderful things so far!

I LOVEDDD Emilia's Come Here Kitten

Yes in Cry Wolf the women cannot get pregnant, and it's important to the plot in book 1.
It's also one of my favourite shifter series, as is Moon Called . Shifter women cannot get pregnant but the human women can, but the children are human not shifter. Fabulous storytelling.

I have got to say the Patricia Briggs series. I love these books because they are so well-written and don't involve smut (sex yes, smut no). I would prefer a series that is actually under the romance category, though. Twilight is a good example of what I'm looking for, but with werewolves.

Probably this gay werewolf romance I read way too long back I don’t remember its name really but it was really the sweetest love story, this guy returns to his pack after a long time and mmc goes into heat and like it’s really bad this time and the only person that can comfort him is that guy

Kresley Cole A hunger like no other, and pretty all of her books with werewolfs and vampires and other creatures, phenomenal writing.
