Complete Series Now AvailableWolf shifters are real. And three alphas have claimed me as their mate.For years, I’ve been kept prisoner by my uncle, hidden like a piece of trash in the basement of his house. Beaten, broken, and neglected, hated by him for reasons I can’t even understand.But one night on the back roads of rural Montana, I see a chance for escape.And I take it.I run….straight into … see a chance for escape.
And I take it.
I run.
…straight into the arms of a naked man.
No. Not a man. A wolf.
Ridge, the man with dark hair and honey-colored eyes, is the alpha of the North Pack. I can hardly believe shifters are real, but how can I deny it when I’ve seen him transform with my own eyes?
I don’t trust him. I don’t trust anyone. Still, that doesn’t change the overwhelming pull I feel toward him. And when the alphas of the East and West Packs step forward and claim me as their mate too, I feel that same desperate urge to claim them back.
But the part that scares me most?
There’s only one reason all three of them could form a mate bond with me.
I’m a shifter too.
Fated Magic is the first book in the Claimed by Wolves series, a reverse harem paranormal shifter romance. It contains cursing, violence, growly alpha males, steamy sex, and a heroine who finds her strength in the midst of it all.

Ohhhhh I just. I needed a breath between finishing the book and writing this because … Well … I just … That ending!!! Love the characters, want to know more about them and their world and I soooooo need to know what’s going to happen now!!!
I love the female character of this series! Sable is as authentic as it gets. She is a scared timid girl in the beginning and with the help of those around her, she becomes a strong independent woman. It’s a subtle and slow change, so the character growth was .
Sable accidentally falls (quite literally) into the world of wolf shifters and witches. She finds herself being claimed by multiple men as their mate.
The first book is a light on action, but it lays the groundwork. We see a lot of world building and introducing characters, and just getting an idea of what’s to come. While the book didn’t have a lot of action, it was not ‘slow’ nor did it feel like it was dragging. It was done very well and in a way that holds your attention.
I loved all four books and didn’t feel like any of them dragged out or lost my interest which can be difficult for series sometimes. The guys of Sable’s harem all brought something to the relationship and it was fun to watch them get to know and build a relationship with not only Sable, but with each other as well.
Sable has been abused by her uncle for years, and when she decides to escape she finds herself in a world of witches and shifters. I love that the guys are protective of her and do what they can to help her deal with her trauma. Sable is a survivor. It does end on a cliffhanger but book 2 is out already so off I go to download 🙂
4.5 stars for Fated Magic by Callie Rose. This is book one in the Claimed by Wolves series. This is a slow burn reverse harem romance. Sable has had a rough life and now with three, possibly four men claiming to be her mated. Oh, and they are alpha werewolves and Sables has no idea there is a such thing as werewolves. Sable, Ridge, Tyston, Archer, and Dare are great characters, and you can not help but love them. I cannot wait to see what is to happen next. All I have to say with the cliffy at the end of this book and the title of the next book I am a little worried.
I enjoy everything Callie Rose writes so it wasn’t a surprise I consumed this audiobook. I thought Lia and CJ did a phenomenal job with the inflections and really giving life to these characters. I thought they did a good job with the narration for their opposite sex characters as well. Sometimes you get narrators that only do the female or only do the male voices justice, but this wasn’t the case with Fated Magic. I know Lia was already on my good narrator list and I know CJ will be added there as well.
As for the book, I think Callie did a good job with creating the world and baseline for us in book 1 of her Claimed by Wolves series. I do think though there were some parts that were a little disjointed for me, in terms of transitions, which is why I couldn’t give it 5 stars. It is still a solid 4 stars from me though. I like how different the guys were, but they all were still fierce and powerful. I think 2 of the guys stood out the most for me, but I bet the others will get their chance in the upcoming books. I know book 2 is already out on audio so I am excited to get my hands on it. I am glad things ended the way they did, helps set up the rest of the story. I do have some lingering questions that I hope will be answered in book 2 (can’t mention them here as they are spoilers). I loved the chemistry despite not always loving fated mate stories. I think this one does a good job letting our MC get to know the guys first before acting on the pull and connection between them.
Great job all around, cannot wait to see what happens next. If you love paranormal/wolf shifter stories, this is a good one to pick up

Awesome Story & Narration Fascinating Fantasy PNR!
Fated Magic
Claimed by Wolves, Book 1
By: Callie Rose
Narrated by: Lia Holland, C.J. Grey
Wow, this is an awesome start to what is going to be an amazing series. Callie Rose is a gifted author with a brilliantly creative mind, I love how she sweeps me right into her stories and this one is not exception, it grabbed my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are nicely developed throughout the story, Sable Maddock, the lead female, gets the courage to escape from her abusive uncle by running off in the woods. Desperate to get away she travels deep into the woods, she winds up losing consciousness after falling down a ravine. Ridge, a wolf shifter, is the alpha of the North pack, he finds her and brings her to his cabin. The witches are a threat to all the wolf shifters but she does appear to be one. Ridge’s brother Lawson thinks she is trouble and drags her to the wolf shifter’s pack council meeting. Archer, the acting Alpha of the East Pack, and Trystan, Alpha of the West pack are in attendance, Ridge is there as well. Lawson makes accusations against Sable, but to everyone’s surprise both Trystan and Archer step up claiming she is their mate. Three alpha wolf shifters claim to be Sable mate and she is not even a wolf, or is she. And if three is not enough, a fourth is added, an Alpha and sole survivor of the defunct South pack, Dare. I am sensing a theme here and it makes me wonder where Callie Rose is going with it. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted and moves fairly quickly. There is plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments as well as heartfelt and emotional ones. There is some hot & steamy romance and a mind-blowing ending. Callie Rose, thank you for another awesome story, I am looking forward to what happens next.
I listened to the Audible edition, Lia Holland & C.J. Grey are fabulous narrators and voice artists. They do an awesome job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving each their own voice, personality and attitude. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the characters emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the awesome listen
Thank you @AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
Wow! Hot & Freaking Crazy!
Talk about a cliff-hanger!?! This girl has been through some major sh!t in her life and gets away to be discovered by a secret world of shifters and when things are about to get serious something crazy happens! On to the next! #HappyReading
What an amazing start to this new series! I absolutely loved it! The FMC is sweet, sensitive, and broken, but these four delicious Alphas help her to heal. This book keeps you entranced throughout and the ending leaves you begging for more! I would definitely recommend this book and I cannot wait for the next one!
This is a 3.5 rounded up for me. It was good, and I might continue the series, but it wasn’t quite as good as it could have been. Mind you, that cliffhanger opens up an entire new realm of possibilities and angst going forward, so there that…. even though it was a gut punch. Fair warning, that last line actually HURT.
The overall story was decent and held together pretty well. We get an idea of what is going on, if not why – though the pack itself is a mystery. We only get a brief view of them before events push forward and the group is thrust into another situation by magic none of them expects. A bit tropey, sure, but still kinda fun. Especially once Dare, another Alpha, though a displaced one, shows up.
One issue? I was strongly reminded of Hunted in this tale, but it was just a feeling… not an outright homage or theft. The set up felt familiar, and though the outcome, pace and characters all diverged from that narrative, the aura remained. Not quite a negative, but it’s noticeable.

I Give this Book a 3.5-4/5 Star Rating
Cliffhanger(?): Yes.
Romance: 2.5-3/5, it’s still growing, but there are not many affectionate scene to amount to much honest romance, right now.
Heat: 3/5, This is book one after all.
Drama: 3-3.5/5
Suspense: 4-4.5/5
Pacing: It’s Medium Fast, I wished some quality time moments were expanded for example I wish the fun pond scene was a little more detailed so it didn’t seem so short. Some moments she talked about, I wish were actual scenes in the book rather then be suddenly put as past tensed, I wish I would ‘seen & watched’ those moments.
Relationship Type: RH > Reverse Harem MMFMM
This is an interesting book, I hope it does get a bit more detailed and slows down a bit more to enjoy everything in the next book.
With the way it ended, I’m really interested to what’ll happen!!!
I was so excited to hear Callie Rose was going to do a wolf shifter romance! I’ve loved everything she’s written, and I knew that she would put an awesome spin on the genre.
She absolutely killed it. This book is wolf shifter done right. Since it’s book one in a series, there’s some world building going on here. I love the setup and the wolf vs witch premise of this world. What I love about shifter romance is the whole fated mate aspect, and I feel that connection between Sable and the four men who feel the mate bond with her. That protective, possessive vibe comes through loud and clear, and it really draws you in. I couldn’t put this book down, and as I reached the end and realized there were no pages left, I seriously contemplated chucking my phone across the room. This cliffhanger is straight up epic. The most cliffhanger-y of cliffhangers, and to say I’m itching for book 2 is an understatement. This is a must read.
This book was amazing and i loved it. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. The story was heart breaking and beautiful with an amazing twist and I honestly can’t wait to read more about these characters!
Just Knockout!!
Sable (FMC) is broken & scared by years of abuse at the hands of her uncle. Until things come to a head & one night she takes the opportunity to run away. Which lands her in a world she has no idea about. Four Alphas – Ridge, Trystan, Archer & Dare. I loved the relationship Sable had with the guys & how it slowly built gently up. Especially as Sable’s confidence grew throughout the book. That ending though?? Flaming hell that was jaw-dropping thats for sure. A damn fine read and im dying for book 2 now
ARC provided from the author for an honest review.
4.75 stars
I have read plenty of books from Callie Rose and she doesn’t disappoint! Another great book from her!
This was a slow-burn read that kept me reading on. At the end of the book, I was left feeling, AAHHH…what just happened?! Where does Sable and her men go from here.
Sable is given a chance where she can feel loved, cherished and protected by four men that show her these affections. She no longer wants to feel those unwanted feelings she received from her uncle while being held captive and abused.
Can’t wait for the second book in this series. Great read!!
Oh My Gawd! Seriously, this book made my paranormal reading… RH loving heart so happy! Humans, Wolves & Witches make up this whirlwind of a read. Sable has not had an easy go at life… abused and isolated she doesn’t see an end in sight but one fateful night she decides to fight back! But the events that occur… a new world revealed…. Well its beyond her wildest dreams and I feel like this is only just the beginning! I read Fated Magic in one sitting… captivated by this new book world && I cannot wait for the next book in this series
Callie is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with this one. Sable is a young woman who is living a terrible life. She is mistreated and abused by someone who should be protecting her. She finally works up the nerve to run when an opportunity presents itself. That changes everything for her.
Sable ends up being found and taken in by a shifter whose wolf claims her as his mate. This happens with 3 other alphas. The time they spend together for her to decide which man she wants to be with is slow burn which leaves you craving more. What does happen between sable and her guys is hot and I can’t wait to see where the next book takes them.
There is some action and danger that they come up against and the men come to the rescue immediately. The ending is a huge cliffhanger right when it’s getting really steamy. It definitely makes you yearn for book 2!
Fated Magic by Callie Rose is a reverse harem paranormal romance. This is the first book in the Claimed by Wolves Series that will be released on April 30, 2020.
I absolutely love Callie’s books they always leave me begging for more! You can’t help but fall in love with Sable, Ridge, Tryston, Archer, and Dare. The story does end on an amazing cliffhanger that leaves me begging for the next book in the series Broken Bond that will be released later this year.
I would highly recommend this book if you love Reverse Harems or Paranormal Romance.

While PNR is my first love, for the last year or so I have not been interested in werewolf stories — Fated Magic has changed all of that by reinvigorating my interest in shifter and fated mate books. Thank you, Callie Rose!
She throws you straight into the story from the start with a taste of Sable’s abusive uncle, before racing from one event to the next. Stumbling into an unknown world of werewolves and magic, Sable is saved by a protective alpha who will have to fight tradition and others’ claims to stay with her. And just when you think you know what’s coming, Callie throws surprise after surprise at you.
You quickly get to know each of the men with chapters told in each of their POVs, giving you detailed glimpses into their thoughts as their bond begins to form. Uniquely different, it’s clear each man will help Sable recover and grow in different ways. And one of my favorite elements, the men have a delightful bro-frenemies relationship that I look forward to seeing evolve in the coming books.
The rapid, page-turning pace and short length easily lets you finish the book in one sitting and leaves you wanting more, more, more! Finishing with one of Callie’s signature out-of-the-blue cliffhangers, I’m desperate for the next book, my heart already and already breaking from the title.
This book is fantastic! Callie has a way of grabbing your attention and sucking you into whatever world she is weaving for us. I never fail to finish one of her books and not feel blown away.
The characters in this series are built beautifully and I can’t wait to learn more about them. I loved watching Sable’s journey as she grew in confidence and started healing emotionally.
The book did end on a pretty vulnerable cliffhanger and I have a feeling I’ll have to start reading the second book through my fingers covering my eyes.
Callie Rose jumped into this shifter series with both feet. Sable is a girl on the run, who has led a life sheltered from pretty much everything life has to offer. Escaping that life leads her into the shifter community, which causes her to question even more and throws her already unstable axis even more off kilter.
Sable is a highly relatable FMC because her past hasn’t been easy and her reaction to having so much new and overwhelming information thrown at her all at once isn’t to stand there bravely. I love that she reacts the way an ordinary person does as much as I love the way the connections form between the characters as they spend time together. I can’t wait to see what happens next as Callie takes the series in directions I didn’t see coming.
