Max Troika never thought he’d be the alpha of his pack. That was his older brother’s fate. Assassinations have a way of ruining everything. Including who Max can take as a mate. It sure isn’t the cute and curvy librarian inspiring his dirtiest dream every night.Here’s a sneak peek at chapter one for you~They giggled and laughed and gossiped until Gal’s cheeks hurt. Man, she needed this. She … hurt. Man, she needed this. She absolutely needed to make more time to hang out with her friends and rekindle all the good times they’d had together. Who would have thought three girls who’d bonded over the horrors of the aerobics unit in their mandatory high school PE class would be such good friends after six years apart?
“Speaking of old gossip. Look who just walked in.” Heli gave the tiniest of motions with her head behind Gal. “Wait. Don’t just turn around and stare. Be cool about it.”
Cool? Right. Gal picked up her glass, downed the rest so it was empty and turned toward the bar like she was going to get another one. Standing where she expected to see the bartender was the boy, uh- huge, hot, man had he gained a lot of muscle, man she’d had a crush on since about the third grade.
He caught her looking and his eyelids lowered to half-hooded and he grinned. Every butterfly in the northern hemisphere flew straight into her stomach and a good fifty percent of those migrated south. Gal spun around and widened her eyes at Heli. “You could have told me it was Max. Cripes. He isn’t coming over here, is he?”
Heli nodded. “He sure is.”
“Ack. Do I have anything in my teeth? Did I spilled down the front of my shirt. I always do that. Allah, save me.”
The words poured out of Heli’s mouth, hurrying to answer. “You look great. His mouth is probably already watering. Here he comes.”
“Hi, Ladies.” A hand landed on the back of her chair and she could practically feel the heat coming off his extreme hotness. “Can I get you another round?”
“Hi Max. That’s nice of you.” Heli grinned up at Max. Gal didn’t have the guts.
“Heli, Zara.” Max gave Zara a bit of a nod and a conspiratorial grin. The Troikas’ parents had never approved of Max’s older brother Niko and Zara seeing each other. Max and Kosta didn’t agree with their parents. One time they even pretended to have a broken down car in the next town over to get their mom and dad out of the house so Niko could take Zara to the prom. His rebelliousness was one of those qualities that had drawn Gal to him in the first place.
Back then she couldn’t imagine defying her father. Dating a Troika would probably send him into fits. She was an adult now. She could do what she wanted. Sort of. Man, she really needed to figure out a way to move out of her parents’ house faster than what her librarian’s salary afforded her.
“You drinking chocolate milk there, Galyna?” Max tipped his head at the few dribbles left in the bottom of Gal’s martini glass.
She did love a good flirt. So why was there a funny wiggle in her tummy where her flirter should be? She couldn’t seem to get it kick started. “I’ve graduated to chocolate martinis, thank you very much.”
“Mmm. Sounds delicious. Can I try it?” Max eyeballed the glass in her hand, or maybe he was staring at her chest.
Okay, that grin he was giving her was way too sexy, and he knew it. Definitely her chest. She had dressed sexier than her usual sweater sets. Certainly not because she’d hoped to see him tonight. No, not at all. “Afraid there’s not much left.”
“Just enough.” Max took the glass, his fingers barely brushing against hers and oh, so slowly ran the tip of his tongue over the rim and then dipped into the well, once, twice. The pink of his tongue was visible through the bottom and he swirled it around licking up every last drop.
The inside of that glass wasn’t the only thing that was wet.

This is Dirty Wolf:A Curvy Girl and Wolf Shifter Romance written by Aidy Award. Let me tell you. Aidy Award is amazing at writing shifter stories! These shifter wolves are hot as heck, fine and strong men and willing to mate for life! Where can a fellow curvy girl find one of those??!? Within the wonderful mind and words of Ms Award. I never miss one of her books!
I absolutely LOVED Dirty Wolf. This book featured a phenomenal female lead- smart, independent, caring, funny and despite all these amazing character traits, still doubtful of her greatness due to her insecurities. Max not only doesn’t even see those insecurities but he sees only the human woman he loves with all her perfect imperfections. I loved Gal as well and maybe even more than Max because she finds her inner strength all on her own. It seems that perhaps this book is part of a bigger world, but it did not affect my reading experience at all. I can’t wait to dig into the next book.Aidy Award
This is the first book in the Alpha Wolves Want Curves Series, a paranormal romance. I loved it! This story is entertaining, funny, and sexy! The characters are great and well developed. Max is a sexy wolf shifter, caring and protective. Gal is a strong, sassy, and curvy woman. They share a sizzling chemistry. I love their banter. The supporting characters are great and intriguing. The world building is well done, and intriguing. The storyline is action packed, and fast paced, filled with humour and twists and turns. Stephanie Rose and Curt Bonnem did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it! I highly recommend it. #ALC #AdvancedListeningCopy #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAdvancedListenerTeam
What a great start to a shifter series. I really fell in love with all the characters in this one. Max was so sweet although loyal to his beliefs to a fault but Gal was too much of a temptation along with a mating pull he doesn’t understand. I liked the fresh take of this shifter world where mating anyone not of their kind was forbidden. It changes things up and makes the fall so much sweeter not to mention sexy times. I really look forward to the rest of the series. Stephanie Rose and Curt Bonnem do an amazing job!

Dirty Wolf (Alpha Wolves Want Curves) by Andy Award
For some reason I have recently been into the paranormal romance books. Specifically “wolf-shifter” themes. I picked up Dirty Wolf hoping that it would be just what I needed this weekend. I read this book in a matter of hours. The story line was awesome. Galyna is a librarian in her home town and Max is a bar owner. They had gone through school together but he was the popular guy while she was the chubby geeky girl that no one paid any attention too. Their paths cross again one night and max knows he can’t let her go this time. They are drawn to each other sexually and emotionally. Max is a wolf shifter. How can he have a relationship with a human? One thing leads to another with a pack war, and Max and Galyna know without a doubt they are fated to be together. Their story of love, friendship, family, and loyalty is everything in this story. Andy Award did an amazing job with this. I can’t wait to keep reading her books! The only thing I wished was different was the extended epilogue option at the end of the book. Unfortunately the link isn’t valid any longer, so I am left wondering what happened next. Andy Award, I loved your book!!!

Max has had a crush on Gal since high school, but he knows it’s forbidden.
Gal has had a crush on Max since high school, but knows someone has hot as him would never want someone as fat and nerdy as her.
This is a bit different in that the wolf shifters are forbidden from having mates other than other wolves. The mated females don’t all turn into wolves, but get “something” ( I really liked this). This is a shifter, true mate story, but it has enough new things woven into it to make it interesting. The line “A wolf, a witch, and dragon walk into a bar.” means something! I know it does, but the author left us hanging. I am hoping to have more about that particular line in future books.
Love, Love, Love this first book in the new series Alpha Wolves Want Curves!!!
Aidy Award has created another amazing shifter world that sucks you right in from the moment you read the first page. And just when you think the story is going to go like other shifter stories it blazes its own path.
I couldn’t and didn’t put it down once I started. Filled with action, romance, hot and steamy sex scenes, and the incredible world that Aidy Award has created to completely lose yourself in. Bold, think for themselves, curvy female characters that give us real life curvy girls a reason to stand up and howl at the moon all throughout this book!
This is a must read and I for one can’t wait for the next one to come out!!
Don’t pass this one up. Jump into this exciting shifter world with both feet and hang on for one amazing ride. You won’t be disappointed and the HEA will have you smiling from ear to ear.
I received an advanced copy of this book in return for leaving my voluntary, free review.

Troika Wolfpack hear me howl…..
This is a wonderful first Wolf Shifter tale for Aidy Award. This amazing story just proves shifters are definitely Aidy Award’s jam. Max Troika has his mind blown to EPIC high voltage levels. First he unexpectedly becomes the Alpha of his pack. Second, he meets the mate of his dreams, but according to wolf law she cannot be his. Gal is off limits as she is a human. Humans and wolves cannot mix. That sucks big time to Gal as she is drawn to Max immediately. Theirsexual chemistry is all absorbing and spellbinding.
Their story is full of steam and exhilarating action, but also saucy and funny, especially their back and forth conversations with each other. I am pumped and can’t wait to read more about the Troika wolves.
What a fun and sexy adventure. I love this authors writing, Her characters are always engaging and their banter is humorous, flirty and then smoldering. Galyna is such a cute, quirky even nerdy girl and I love her awkwardness in Max’s presence at first. It makes her so very real. There is also plenty of action and drama in this fantastic romance. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t get enough of this first book of this new series Aloha Wolves Want Curves. Gal is a librarian, a clever girl, and a human with an attitude. Max finally meets his mate, only according to wolf law he can’t have her because she’s human. I loved the characters they are captivating, emotional and not lacking humor. This story is packed with action, twists, romance, and plenty of steam. I can’t wait for the next book!!
Aidy Award has written an amazing wolf shifter book. The Troika boys are finally getting their love on. Max and Galyna are true fated mates. The Wolf community may be split on where humans and wolf stand in the love department, but Max and Gal know what their hearts desire. The Wolf World is at War and every fated mate pair must fight together. I couldn’t put this book down.
Being a curvy girl, I first thought I would want to be paired with one of Aidy’s dragons, but after reading Max and Gal’s story, I am now leaning towards a wolf. A big, playful, sexy wolf who worships a nerdy, curvy girl. The story starts with Gal and most of the town of Rogue, not knowing that there are wolf shifters living among them. Gal has moved back to become the children’s librarian and reconnects with Max, the hot guy from school that she has always crushed on. It is funny at first, because Gal and her friends become convinced that Max and his family are part of the mafia and Gal is worried that she might have to join Witness Protection if she stays involved with Max. However, her reaction to finding out that Max is actually a wolf shifter takes Max completely by surprise. I loved reading about both Max and Gal becoming the awesome people that they are meant to be and I cannot wait to read more books in the series to watch them continue their journey. I thought this book was a page turner and well worth my time to read.
I received and ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and freely given review.
I absolutely adored reading this entertaining shifter romance & I was certainly impressed by the way it was written. I found the characters quite interesting & well-developed with unique individual personalities. The plot is well-written & intriguing with unexpected situations.
There is: a smart & feisty curvy human female librarian (Galyna), a wolf shifter who unexpectedly becomes an alpha to the pack (Max Troika), twists & turns, drama, intrigue, humor, secrets, action, memories, pack issues, wolf, shifters, witches, rivalry, attractions, conflict, violence, manipulations, strange abilities, a mating ceremony, claiming, true mates, love, steamy scenes & a HEA
Amazing book!! Couldnt put it down! Loved it!!
*Spoiler Alert!!!*
Max and Galyna has a love that has withstood the test of time and the winds of change.
Galyna appears to be a prim and proper librarian but deep down she is not afraid to get, primal.
Max was quite popular in high school always had a thing for curves, Galyna’s curves. Older, wiser and more alpha he goes for what he desires even when it might cause a veritable war.
The heat between these two can singe your hair follicles. I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend, Dirty Wolf.
Im not really into para romance but after reading Aidy’s Dragon series, i wanted to see where this book went.
I truly enjoyed the plot and the characters within the story.
Hot and saucy wolves claiming their mates sparks war in the para community.
Cant wait to see what happens next .
Max is truly an alpha and Galyna is more than a match for him as his true mate.
Gal she is the librarian and human she is smart, funny, and sassy. oh I love her attitude and love it how she gets when shes around Max. She is not afraid to speak whats on her mind. I love Max oh his attitude and his dirty talk cant get enough of him. Love how protected he gets of Gal and how he always find a way to be with Gal. Change is happening when this couple come together. Wolves need true mates to make them feel like their existence is well defined. This was a hot steamy read and enjoyed it would give it a 5 stars and was nice to have a wolf story. Enjoy the dragons but love this one as well. Can’t put a review on amazon but did want to let you know my thoughts.
