Book 1 of the Black Mesa Wolves series by USA TODAY bestselling author J.K. Harper“What a great beginning to a new series…. It packs a wallop that I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the next one.” -Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Top PickBeing a Guardian for the Black Mesa Wolf Pack meant everything to Lily Bardou.

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.
As a Black Mesa wolf Lily is one of the Guardians for the pack but she hasn’t been active in a long time because something happened that made her turn away from her duties until she meets a pack of rogues who decide to come into their territory and demand that she be given to them and they can become part of their own pack. She had just decided that she was spending her evening with the Silver Mountian Guardian Kieran the wolf brought back everything she thought was gone forever. romance. I purchased this book in a boxset. I am providing an honest review.
Very very short. I would say more a start of a story. Not really a novella. It’s just enough to get into. Then it’s over. Well written, captivating, but short.
While I like the characters, this story seemed a bit unfinished. The feisty girl rediscovering her feistiness and the man who inspires that rediscovery were great but unoriginal. The story could have used a bit depth.
A good short start to a new series.
My one big downer is I dislike the pack law that permeates this series. It is harsh, cruel and too old fashioned for my taste.
The heartache that Lily has suffered comes across and you cannot help but feel for her. It has taken two years for Lily to get over what she did and deal with the guilt and grief. I also really feel for the young man Lily accidently turned who is sentenced to death through no fault of his own. What is wrong with being a turned wolf as long as he pledges loyalty to the pack. The fact he didn’t/wouldn’t fight Lily spoke highly of his character.
Kieran was sent as a witness to see that pack law was upheld and saw Lily kill the young man. He knew then Lily was his mate but he has had to bid his time whilst Lily dealt with what she had done. Kieran is a real alpha wolf guardian and has known Lily was his since he first set eyes on her.
Once Lily decided to get back into life and reclaim her duty as a guardian wolf and have sex again Kieran made his move and claimed Lily, though Lily did some claiming of her own.
