Music is my life. At least, it would be if my father's politics didn't dictate every minute of my day. When I sneak out to live my dream for the night, consequences follow. Papá's second, Eliel, challenges him for the throne, putting me at risk of being forcibly claimed by the devious, disgusting male.
To keep me safe, my father sends me to the one person he trusts—his best friend, Richard. Yet, Richard isn't the wolf I remember from my childhood. The moment I see him again, a tether forms between us, twisting our souls into a bond so rare, it hasn't been seen in thousands of years. Barely-there touches, smoldering looks, and soft growls become something more, something intense and powerful that draws us together like moths desperate to burn.
But as with everything in my life, our connection is complicated. We have to keep it hidden because when my father finds out, he won't understand. Worse yet, he won't give us the chance to explain. I've got to succeed in my quest for harmony to drown out the discord. Like my best friend Leo says, when words fail, music speaks.
Wrestling With Werewolves is a low angst, age-gap romance between a latiné rock princess and her father's best friend. If you're looking for a book boyfriend who's one thousand percent in his woman's corner, this is it.

This was a great 5th book! I had no idea how we were going to continue now that the triplets were settled and this was great way to do that! Finally we have a main story taking place in Shifter Hollow with Richard. I really enjoyed Lola's character, she was so sweet and tough. Loved the Hispanic culture that shined through the whole book. I'm normally not into age gaps but this was done very well! Can't wait to see what's next. )

📖 Bookish Moments: While this wasn’t my favorite of the series, I still had a great time with it. I really felt for Lola—her dad was way too controlling, and honestly? I kind of hated him. Just because you’re not the villain doesn’t mean you’re a good guy. Richard though? Total badass. But the real MVP? Big Daddy, Richard’s wolf. That wolf was absolutely unhinged and I loved every second of it. He had me cackling! The pack politics added the perfect amount of drama! And I loved how Lola...

This is a very good, well written, Shifter romance. Lola is sent by her father, the king of the wolves to Ever for protection. Richard and Marco the King have been friends for a long time. Lola likes the way Ever is run and hates the politics of her home Haven. She looks for ways to be helpful and make friends. She also loves playing her guitar and doing concerts making her father unhappy. Read how Lola and Richard become mates and handle all the problems this causes. Lots of surprises. )

It was cute! I loved that the characters had depth to them and I loved Lola’s love for music. The nesting scene was the best in the whole book, in my opinion. Spicy level is like a 2.75/5 ) One person found this helpful

With every book release I fall more in love with Ever and the more despondent I am that I can’t live there! Lol Richard is the dream Daddy-kind, thoughtful, & sexxxxxyyyyyy! Not only do I wish I was Lola but I also wish Lola was my best friend-she is the coolest, kindest, bad assiest, rocker chic around. The tension between these two-whoa baby, it took everything in me not to skip pages ahead to find out what happens & let me tell you, I’ll never look at paperwork the same way again 😮💨 I...
