- [x]
Riley Porter is twenty-two years old and never really saw the world before. Locked away by her father to protect his last living heir, Riley has been sentenced to a life of cruelty and darkness. That is until she strikes to deal with her father to leave her home to search for her mate. Riley never intended to mate but she did intend to live her life to the fullest while she could. Riley finds herself right in the middle of the pack that is known to have the most dangerous Alpha in their world. Everything about this place feels like home until danger finds her, and so does the Alpha. Realizing how untrained she really was, she takes the Alphas offer to train with their pack so she can be strong enough to defend herself. The problem was, the most dangerous thing she could see was the very thing offering her help.
Noah Ryder was twenty-five and the youngest Alpha to rule, and desperate to keep his people and home safe. Plagued by dreams of blue eyes Noah has found himself fearing the unknow. When a new young wolf comes into town Noah finds her foul mouth and disrespect to be both irritating and exciting. When he breaks his only rule to save her, everything he knows is thrown into the fire. Noah finds himself backed into a corner. His people are desperate for their luna, his beta is working behind his back yet all he can seem to focus on is the fine line between love and hate he feels for this stranger.
With a secret war brewing, witches plotting against the wolves and enemies surrounding her will Rile be thrown into something she couldn’t handle? Or will she be exactly what Noah needs to save his people. Unlikely of a pair as they were one thing was for certain, there was no turning back for either of them.

I absolutely loved this story. If you love werewolves, fantasy, mystery, and spicy romance this is the book for you. The author does an outstanding job creating a world you immediately get sucked into. Noah and Riley have an intense, but playful chemistry that is a fresh take in the fantasy romance world. There's action packed twists and turns at every corner and a deeply passionate bond between our two protagonists. ) One person found this helpful

The character depth is amazing, and it's not predictable - like some other novels out there. The author did a great job of building elaborate details without the need to completely world-build. I'm still not sure who I like more: Riley or Noah!.. AND it's the first in a new series. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the second book! 100% recommend! ) One person found this helpful

Amazing characters and a story that pulls you in. I laughed. I cried. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. It's going to be torturous waiting for the sequel. )
