Book 3 in the Black Mesa Wolves series by USA Today bestselling author J.K. Harper“I am glad I gave J.K. Harper a try! I love her shifter world! She’s created a wonderful world and characters that captured my attention from the first chapter. This is my favorite in the series so far.” -Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Top PickCaleb Bardou has a quick answer for anything that comes at him: his fists. … that comes at him: his fists. Barreling through life, damn the consequences, has always worked for him. With dangerous rogue wolves threatening his Pack, he must be a ruthless hunter. But when a delicate little she-wolf gets in his steamroller way, he has to find a different strategy to win the unexpected battle for her body and her heart.
Each time civilized Rielle Amoux thinks about caveman Caleb, she gets all tingly inside. Yet she refuses to be flustered by a hot-headed, chest-thumping, he-man of a wolf. Except Caleb is sexier than sin, and he arouses her on a primal level–the part of her she’s always denied from fear she won’t be able to control it. But if she doesn’t free her wild side soon, she risks losing her wolf forever….
Between vicious rogues and sweetly seductive Rielle, Caleb has his hands full. Just when he thinks he has everything under control, his trigger temper erupts again. This time, the fallout could be disastrous for his Pack–as well as for any chance he has with the sexy little wolf who might be his destiny.

I enjoyed this story, I have read others in the series and they are very entertaining as well.
Boy, do opposites attract in this novel. Caleb and Reille are so very different and yet they are so right together. I really enjoy this world and these shifters this author has created; her writing just feels so real that I could fall into the story. This is a wonderfully warm read and I recommend it to anyone who wants some romance in their day.
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.
Caleb has a real hard time controlling his anger and he usually deals with it with his fists. Now a lot of the time that works just fine, but there are times when it just gets him in more trouble. With rogues still a worry and of course the fact that he can’t confront the ones his father the Alpha has decided will be able to start their own pack just irks him.
He’s barreling down the street in Durango, thinking about said rogues when he slammed into a woman. It’s not just any woman though, it’s a pack member.
Rielle mostly lives in the city and runs an upscale clothing store. She prefers to spend more time as a human than wolf and since she’s the pack historian she can research anywhere.
Caleb gets a bit confused while arguing with her as his wolf searches for her wolf. Apparently, his wolf senses something he doesn’t. That and even as they argue they both sort of notice an attraction. Caleb really is concerned about her lack of attention since they don’t know where the rogues are. He also realizes when he needs to back off, but not before he sticks his foot in it…again.
Rielle’s freedom in town does get curtailed however, and there is another stunning revelation. She and Caleb are mates. How that’s going to work out is both fun and intriguing.
Rogues, fights, scares, new and very interesting people and just the right amount of sizzle.
I am already reading the next book of this series.
Great series.
Generally, I like this author, not a 5 star but usually 4. I felt the ending was just…too abrupt; it was like the author met their word count limit and stopped. Why?
Great book!
Although this was another fun read, I get as if their story is incomplete. The way that they got together after fighting each other so long, just didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the books. It was hard for me to believe that they went from strangers to mates overnight. I am glad they got there happy ending though.
What a great contrast. The biggest most hot headed, overprotective of all the guardians matched with mousy little Rielle, the pack historian.
A good honest fun read.
Caleb helps in bringing out Rielle’s wolf whom she had managed to suppress by moving away from the pack and by living life more as a human than a wolf. Rielle is a smart lady and softens Caleb’s tough aggressive take on life and helps him find balance
Caleb is really funny when he finds himself attracted to Rielle and when he realises she is his mate all his protective instincts go really haywire and get him into BIG trouble.
So sad Caleb being punished but he really deserved it, will be interesting to see how things go in the future for Caleb and Rielle.
Things are also getting very interesting with the background story of the rogues.
