Thrown to the Wolves 3 (Black River Pack Series) by Rochelle Paige Blog Tour

Synopsis:

Annora Channing's entire world changes the moment she discovers she's a bear shifter. With mated wolves for parents, she should have been a wolf also. When the man she grew up thinking was her father realizes she isn't his daughter, he devises a plan to use her existence to his advantage in a way that will get her out from under his roof.

When her situation goes from bad to worse, Annora escapes but is badly injured in the process. Luckily, Elias Reve comes to her rescue while on his way to Wolf's Point and the daughter he lost years ago. With nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to, Annora joins him on his journey and ends up running smack-dab into the arms of her mate.

Parker Tate knows Annora is his the moment he lays eyes on her. When he manages to mate and mark her within hours of when they meet, he considers himself lucky. Then the trouble nipping at Annora's heels finds her and Parker realizes the path to claiming his mate won't be as easy as he thought - especially not with the bears involved.

This is book three in the Black River Pack series. Each novella features a different couple.

Excerpt
The door had just started to close behind them, so I almost missed her dad’s next words. Thank fuck I didn’t though.
“Besides which, I left Annora at the table when I saw you pull up,” he explained. “Poor girl probably thinks I’ve abandoned her, and she’s still too sore to move quickly enough to catch up to me.”
“Annora,” I whispered in wonder.
My brain was catching up to my wolf as I grabbed the door and swung it open to catch up to them only to stop dead in my tracks. The scent that drifted to me was sweeter than anything I’d ever smelled before. Like cotton candy on a hot summer’s day.
Breathing deeply, I zeroed in on the curvy brunette sitting in the corner booth. She really was here. My mate.

{Review}

A quick read with great pacing that is full of steam, action, fated love, families - good and bad, and a happily ever after that will make you smile.

Annora has grown up in a wolf pack where she feels like an outsider, she's quiet and reserved, and on her eighteenth birthday she finds out why she's different: she's a bear. Things go downhill from there. Her 'father' goes from horrid to despicable when he decides to get rid of her. But she's a survivor. With help from her rescuer Elias she makes her was to the Black River pack where she finds not only her mate, the fabulous Parker, but her confidence and a place in a pack that treats her like family. I liked that in the end she was able to stand up for herself, to take a stand. I was cheering for her.

Parker is a good guy with an admitted white knight complex. He's devoted and loving with the ability to kick some ass. He's spent his life waiting for Annora and when he finally meet her he's wonderful with her, showing her how she deserves to be treated. Their connection is quickly forged - something I love about shifters - it's 'mine' at first sight and then things get steamy. As easy as it was to fall for each other they're not out of trouble, the psychotic wolf that's after Annora hasn't given up and there's another huge surprise in store for Annora.

Author Bio:
I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

Crying Wolf (Black River Pack, #1)

Crying Wolf (Black River Pack #1) by

Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He's a cop and is willing to use police resources to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking crying wolf a couple of times when he's reported her missing. Little does she know she'll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real.

She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate - the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm's length, but there's just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she's his mate.

This is book one in the Black River Pack series. Each novella will feature a different couple.

{Review}
Grace is a smart fighter. Determined to escape an abusive relationship she figured out how to use her boyfriend's power against him. On the run, she ends up in Wolf Point, working at a bar owned by Hunter Tate. Hunter is an alpha in all ways, he's protective, dominating, decisive yet gentle with Grace. He'd do anything to keep her safe. I liked Grace and Hunter together - it was sweet that he called her Grace-mine - I thought they fit well together, complemented each other and had great chemistry. 
The first book in the Black River Pack series also introduces us to enforcer and beta Spencer, the middle Tate, and white knight Parker, the youngest of the Tate brothers, whose books follow. What you see of Spencer and Parker will definitely make you want to read about them too.

Shoot for the Moon (Black River Pack #2)

Shoot for the Moon (Black River Pack #2) by


Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn't able to save her mother or the alpha's son and she found herself exiled - a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even the man who has walked in her dreams for years.

Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn't recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it's the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life.

When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she's his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn't the alpha's second and enforcer because he isn't willing to fight for what's his, and he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate.

This is book two in the Black River Pack series. Each novella will feature a different couple.

{Review}
Eliza learned early on the consequences of her gift and it's led her to make hard and lonely choices, including keeping away from her mate. Although her actions are understandable I was glad that she grew in the story, realizing that she had power over her life instead of laying down and taking it.
I was a little off put by Spencer because he had his mate in his bed and didn't realize it - the whole 'mine' thing is one of the reasons I like shifters so much - though I appreciated how he reacted to his mistake, especially the patience he showed. He made a huge, huge mistake and once he realized it he owns up to it and does he best to repair the damage he did, showing her his love and trust and trying to earn the same from her.
A favorite quote:
"You've given me the moon," I whispered as my eyes drifted closed.
"What do you mean, dream girl?"
"Don't have to settle for just the stars with you, I tried to explain." (loc 1217)
