Enjoyable read by a new to me author. Liked Belle from the start but felt it hard to connect with Colt. Loved the banter between the two of them. Looking forward to reading more by author.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC received via NetGalley.
A four star for my first read from this author.
Not a big fan of paranormal romance genre, but I can enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyon or JR Ward’s.
First of all, so sorry if I got the wrong terms in my review. One thing that always put me in trouble with this particular genre is their specific terms that contemporary romance don’t have.
A high commander in the wolf pack, Colt is aproud man. His pack is his live. His people is the one thing he give his loyalty fully. Until one female wolf.
Bella is a rogue. A wolf without a pack. A criminal for her connection to the rogue pack as their resident doctor.
Two wolf
Two secrets
Would they be one?
Or their secrets be to great to overcome?
First part where Colt and his men on the hunt for the vampire, it was exciting. The hunt, the action part, I can just see it in big screen. It’s gonna be a great action scene.
For the romance part, I’ll say it’s slow burn. The lust is fast and hard. The steamy scene, is hot. But for the romance… Too much self doubt they should be able to talk about as adult but yeah… Too slow for me.
The ending is predictable.
Second installment following the Cowboy Wolf Trouble in the Seven Range Shifters series. It follows Colt and Belle’s journey in an exciting world of shifters and vampires that hint of more to come from the author Kait Ballenger.
This was my first experience with this author and her series. I didn’t read the first book but caught a quick recap during a wedding scene with the pack leader. I will most likely read that, but it wasn’t necessary in order to follow this story.
The beginning was all chemistry between Colt and Belle as she unwittingly escapes from the Grey Wolf pack during a vampire attack. Colt catches her trying to steal his horse and sparks flare. When Colt is injured, Belle stays to save his life. He takes her back to the pack with promises to keep her rogue status a secret. After a few days and a brief spicy burst of passion, Colt is captured by vampires and taken prisoner. I had expected torture, an uncovering of vampire plots following a harrowing rescue, but was disappointed when the story continues weeks ahead with Belle pregnant and trying desperately for love and acceptance within the Grey Wolf pack. Colt has secrets of his own that prevents this love story to progress. In the midst of repressed feelings, the story introduces new characters, several motives, storylines, even more secrets that reveal old hurts with a dash of calving for good measure. Nothing like a little cowboy chore to liven up the plot. 🙂
Unfortunately, I think there was a bit much going on and it was a wee confusing at times.
I also think the ending was rushed and a little sad. I wouldn’t have minded more steamy scenes from Colt and Belle, and the characters introduced most certainly have my interest.
I’m hopeful this author will only improve as all her engaging characters and ideas evolve in her series. I will most definitely read more. Enjoy! 🙂
I received this book from the author for a fair and honest review.
Cowboy in Wolf’s Clothing is about Belle, a lone rogue wolf with no pack that got caught up with the wrong wolf pack. She is a strong female wolf shifter, who is a doctor in her human world. As she is escaping from the Grey Wolf jail she had been in she meets up with the Commander Colt Cavanaugh. Colt is a super hot, super alpha, wolf shifter cowboy. He is also a pretty big deal. The wolves and the vampires are in the middle of a war and Belle ends up saving Colt’s life. Sparks fly. Like serious sparks, if you do not like naughty romance scenes this book is not for you. Since these are wolves, I kinda expected the naughty factor! The story line is very good and high paced. The characters are well fleshed out. I am kinda in love with Colt myself. He is a troubled good guy. What more could a girl ask for! I think this book was very good and I look forward to reading more by Kait Ballenger.
