ARC Review: Wolf Line by Vivian Arend

Wolf Line

by Vivian Arend

(Granite Lake Wolves # 5)

This was such a cute story. In pretty much the same style as the previous books in this series, WOLF LINE has everything you'd want, delivered in a short story.  I had no expectations about Jared and we didn't know Keri.  But there's some humor, some intrigue and action, and most importantly two adorable characters who are nowhere ready (or so they thought) to meet their mate. But when they do meet, they are great and connect right away, fireworks and all!

Jared, the man whore, was running away from the family/brothers of his latest conquest and ran into a cruise ship to get away from them.  He gets caught, gives a pack members name that was scheduled to work on the maintenance crew, and somehow finds himself aboard the cruise ship and sailing away.

With his bad sense of smell he doesn't realize when his mate is standing right in front of him!  But she knows and she it's all she can not to jump his bones, his very sexy bones.  Until they are caught in the middle of somes thefts happening on board and they will have to help solve them to clear their name.

Another great installment!  Fans of the series will love it and new readers, you're missing out!  These stories are great buys!!

Review: Wolf Tracks by Vivian Arend

Wolf Tracks

by Vivian Arend

(Granite Lake Wolves # 4)

It seems like I've wanted TJ to get his story since book one.  He's the adorable, clumsy, dunny, good spirited wolf.  He will do anything for his pack and his family.  He's loyal and endearing, even though I didn't use to see him as sexy-alpha...and he wasn't very coordinated.  I guess he is the proof that a man who is not as domineering can still be very appealing.

TJ realizes right away that Maggie's friend Pam is his mate, while at Maggie's wedding.  But she is full human.  The mate bond has to be different with a human and TJ doesn't want to scare her away. Especially since she doesn't know her friend, or the family she's marrying into, are a pack of wolves.

Pam stays in town on vacation while her friend goes on her honeymoon and TJ uses that opportunity to woe her.

I loved both of them.  TJ changed a bit in this book and became more the sexy man I was expecting him to be but without losing his personality.  Pam just seemed like the perfect fit for him, even though I thought she accepted the whole wolf thing very easily.

Review: Wolf Games by Vivian Arend

Wolf Games

by Vivian Arend

(Granite Lake Wolves # 3)

In the previous book we read about Missy's sister.  She was used in the scheme to get Missy to marry the Alpha's brother of their old pack, so that the alpha could control Missy.  Things were done to Maggie then that changed her.  She hasn't been able to shift or even really be around wolves for a long time.  Now that Missy is happily mated and even pregnant, Maggie comes for a visit. Her sister sends the welcome committee to get her.

One of them being the Granite Lake Beta, Erik.  And there's an immediate recognition that passes thru between them.  They are mates.  Not sure if it's because he's described as this huge guy, or the fact that he can actually speak Russian, or maybe it's because he's actually really cute and funny... but I loved Erik.  Big and cuddly, hot and sensual, possessive and understanding.

Maggie on the other hand was a biiiiiiiiit whiny.  I understand that her personality and actions were probably appropriate for having gone through what she did and the problems she still goes through.  However, a heroine that normally cowers behind the hero is usually not my favorite one.

To add to this mix it is time for the Wolf Games, a series of competitions between neighboring packs.  Names are picked out of a hat to form the representing team and Erik and Maggie were chosen to go.  The games were fun, looking for the clues and using their team members and resources as best as they could.

Speaking of the Games, I cannot wait to read TJ's book.  I adore his clumsy ass!  I was happy to see Erik make the others stop teasing him but also yelled at TJ for putting himself down.  The kid is brilliant and he deserves a place in the pack.

I can't wait to see who's up next!

Wolf Flight

(Granite Lake Wolves # 2)

I adore this story!  I was intrigued by Tad's character in the first book in the series.  He was our heroine's brother and he actually knew that he was a wolf, just hadn't been triggered and couldn't shift yet.  When he has to cancel on his sister for their annual trip because of work, he gets a surprise.  His high school crush is actually part of the company that hires him.  And Missy is actually a wolf and wanting to sort of mate with him.

Her plans have to change when she realizes that they are really mates.  She's actually on the run in a way from the Alpha of her pack who wants to have her because she is an Omega wolf.

Now not only does she have a real mate that she doesn't want to loose but he's not able to shift yet and will have to deal with big bad Alpha coming for them.

This was short but very sweet, I loved Tad.  It was also nice that this story happens almost at the same time as book one so we see his side of the story when he finds out his sister is mated and now knows about being a wolf.  Tad could've been triggered a long time ago but he was waiting for the right girl.  The way his personality is I wasn't surprised to find out that he was also an Omega wolf.

Can't wait for the next book.  Will it be TJ soon???

Review: Wolf Signs by Vivian Arend

Wolf Signs

by Vivian Arend

(Granite Lake Wolves # 1)

Robyn has a ski weekend planned with her brother until his plans change for work and she decides to go alone.  Maybe not the easiest decision since she has a major problem, she's deaf.

But to her surprise, she finds more than just company.  See, she doesn't know this but she's a full-blooded werewolf and who just happens to be at the cabin for a weekend away before a challenge for alpha is her mate.

Robyn is a very strong heroine who has overcome her problems and still faces things head on.  Even though she took the whole "Hey, you're a werewolf and oh by the way my mate" thing very easy, her connection with Keil was sweet.  After many years of being the outsider who didn't fit in, things now click for her.

Keil is just hot.  He's strong and very alpha, well of course, he's challenging for alpha of the pack.  I loved how he had patience with Robyn so she could adjust to the idea of being a wolf.  I loved that he never made an issue out of her being deaf, he was always willing to make it work.  And I also love his relationship with TJ.  Too funny!

I am looking forward to seeing more of the Granite Lake Wolves!!
