Book 2 of the Black Mesa Wolves series by USA TODAY bestselling author J.K. Harper!“The chemistry between Rafe and Sara is blistering….The sex scenes were scorching. Overall, this was a great book. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.” -Romancing the BookAs a Guardian climbing the ranks in the Black Mesa Wolf Pack, Sara Kenyon’s life is ideal. A sexy firecracker, she’s never … sexy firecracker, she’s never regretted her carefree love-‘em-and-leave-‘em attitude. But when her one-time fling, smokin’ hot Rafe Bardou, wants the only thing she can’t give him–commitment–she starts to question if freedom is everything she desires.
Rafe’s patience is legendary. Yet for all his strength and control, Rafe craves something he can’t have: free-spirited Sara as his mate. Her red-hot kisses have eluded him for over a year, but he can’t stop thinking about how they once tangled the sheets together. Now he’s out of time. Her commitment to him is essential–not only for his own happiness, but for the future of the Pack.
Losing control isn’t an option. But it may be the only way to convince this sweet vixen he’s her alpha wolf.
Warning: hot springs and a dark alley are both defiled in this story. Read at your own risk.

I loved this book when I read it as part of the Black Mesa Wolves Box Set. Black Mesa Wolves Box Set by J. K. Harper is a set of nine different books of the series all put together into the perfect reading order in one group. The nine books included in this set are: Guardian Wolf, Alpha Wolf, Hunting Wolf, Wild Wolf, Solstice Wolf, Christmas Wolf, New Year Wolf, Protector Wolf, and Fire Wolf. Every one of the books in this set was a wonderful read. Each individual book features a different couple who were forever mate and all of the stories are tied together as members of the Black Mesa Wolf Pack. I think anyone who loves reading about shifters or paranormal romance will love this box set where everyone eventually gets their happy ever after ending.
Short story. Very hot and steamy. Great characters. Loved the ending.
I have read this book 3 times to see if it is my perception that is off.
This is my least favourite book in this series and the reason I didn’t read any more for ages but luckily I did come back to it and love the rest of the series.
We met Sara and Rafe in book 1 and you could feel the vibes around them then.
This started off so well and by the end I didn’t care if they ended up with a HEA or not.
Sara is a guardian wolf and for some strange reason she has lots of insecurities and believes she needs to prove herself to her pack. The pack treat her as a lightweight even if she is a guardian due to the fact she has been easy going, party girl, slutty Sara.
She then panics when Rafe makes his intentions of wanting her as his mate clear. She pushes him away but it is only human Sara who is unsure, her wolf has known for a year who her mate is. Not sure why human Sara is so thick. When she finds out Rafe is leaving to form his own pack she gets angry.
Sara was so indecisive and didn’t even know what she was on about every time she said she had to prove herself, sounded like a rehearsed speech. She was just a whiny child and proved her immaturity by casting all the blame on Rafe. She even goes to a bar to pick up some random guy rather than face the truth. I was getting dizzy with her dithering and self-centeredness.
Sara was queen of the ditherers, NOT an impressive alpha female to me, her behaviour put me right off her.
Rafe is the eldest Bardou son and has always know he was going to be a future Alpha and start his own pack under the umbrella of the Black Mesa Pack.
Even though it has been decided where he is to go, he cannot get started on that until Sara realises what she is to him and accepts she is his Alpha female.
Rafe was too soft on her, he should have been more open and stronger in his feelings and asked her flat out what she wanted and told her what he wanted.
Rafe should have done better than Sara as a mate but he has to take some of the blame for being too tame in his behaviour towards her. They are wolves and he is an Alpha but didn’t act like one till the end when Caleb goaded him. Then he lets her back off again. Boring merry go round again.
Whilst on patrol with Sara, trouble happens and Sara finally sees the obvious. Sara kicks ass and all is great. HEA.
I was totally sick of these two by the end of this story.
I did really like Rafe’s wolf giving him grief for letting Sara run from them. That was funny but mating in a dirty back alley. Yuk.
