Well Lupine sure got now than she bargined for and oh wait there is more to come. I live the main charter and the kids, I would like to see stories of what happens to those kids
Lupine is Mom to so many children of the supe and human worlds at the orphanage she runs. Her young years were spent in the orphanage so this home is special to her heart. There is a fanciful magic in the home and a cadre of comical kids that populate it. From the “creepy twins’ who can see the future, to the 9year-old who loves to sit on the roof and the trouble-making Edmond, running away from school, they are a handful plus. There are witches and shifters and chameleons, oh my! And they all work together so well that you can’t wait to see what trouble they’re going to get everybody in involved in, next! And just when you think nothing more could happen, a band of six shifter mafioso show up at her door, claiming her as their mate. They are also hiding a secret about who she really is and where she really came from. A magically delightful story!
This is a great addition to this series. This is a great story with great characters, action, and suspense. I didn’t want to put it down.
I received a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily giving an honest review
I really like this story! Not a typical shifter, reverse harem, mafia story. The men never acknowledge they were Mafia, they actually thought it was amusing that Luna believed they were! Their reason for being in town, was purely Luna. The reverse harem element was in place, but only in the background, and they were all shifters, but not a lot of shifting going on. This story was Lupines tale as an orphan.
I absolutely LOVE this series!!! I can not get enough. Easy to read, great storyline, and great characters. Im on to the next one my third in 2 days. Im hooked!!! Highly recommended, especially if you need a change of pace or something to escape the dramas of today.
The story line was great, the character work was fantastic and the book had a smooth flow to it. This was a great addition to the series and kept me highly entertained from beginning to end.

Except for the orphanage, Lupine has known no family in her life. The previous director of the orphanage for supes was mother, father, confessor, friend and disciplinarian
Lupine tried to fill very big boots as the current director of the orphanage, yet she is fairly convinced she is doing a less than perfect job
When a bevy of other Wolf Shifters move to town, they catch more than just the attention of Lupine.
Life gets a lot more complicated when her family changes in unexpected ways.
Love takes many shapes, as do death and fear.
Steamy romance plus mysteries and humor

Interesting storyline. This is how dysfunctional families look like.
Love and chaos .
All this different shifters,all secrets made this book very entertaining.
Princess or Alpha whatever you want to call Lupine leads the pack. Her wolves are there to protect and cherish her.
Will we read more about Lupine in the next book ? I would like that.
This is my volunteer review.
I loved Lupine. It’s a great paranormal reverse harem romance read. It’s book three in the Spell Library Series. It can be read as a standalone. The books in the Spell Library Series are written by different authors but take place in the Silver Springs universe. I was really looking forward to reading Lupine and now I’m hooked on this series and want to read them all.
Lupine is running an orphanage were she used to live. She a hard working and really good with the kids. When sexy wolf shifters move across the street from the orphanage, Lupine is not happy. She calls them the mafia and tries to annoy them. She feels a pull and connection to four of the wolf shifters. I really loved the balance between her mates and her running the orphanage. I loved this one and I’m going check out the other books in this series.
I adore Lupine and the whole Silver Springs Orphanage gang! Everyone was so well written and all the kids were unique and quirky in the best of ways. In a town full of a lil bit of everything supe I didn’t expect anything less.
The whole “mafia” angle was so much fun. I can’t wait to see what shenanigans the gang gets up too.
I love how this series connects in small ways and each has its own style as each are written by a different author. Lupine is a wolf shifter and an orphan. When she became older she took over the job of caretaker at the orphanage. She is a wonderful woman that sees all the kids as her family. And with each kid being some type of supe she has her hands full. And to make things harder, the mafia become her neighbors. But those hot as hell males definitely make for some good eye candy. The story really makes you love Lupine and everything about her. She deserves romance and she will get that plus some.
This is the first time I have read this author, and I do not think it will be my last. Lupine fit right in with the Spell Library series. I have read the first two books so far and they all have been really good. Some authors you may know and some authors will be new to you, but I would highly recommend that you check out this series. So far it has been really good.
Lupine has a big heart, which I love these types of characters, but something happens. When wolf shifters move in across the street her world is turned upside down. They get to her, she tells herself to stay away. But really could anyone? So find out what happens to Lupine and her sexy shifters. I promise it will be entertaining.
With a book like this it’s hard to tell if there will be more and the book will be a series or stay s standalone. The plot has a lot going on in it. They’re are a lot of unresolved plot “threads” that were left dangling that I hope that something more would come out of this story? What is so special about the pup?? Why is Lupine so special?? It just felt very half-finished to me and I wanted clarification. It was a good story but unnecessarily convoluted if it was to end with one book.

Welcome to the family
3.5 rating
What do you do when the mafia moves in next door to your orphanage. Well you sure can’t avoid them.
Lupine runes the orphanage in silver springs taking care of all the kids just like she was taken care of. When the local gym owners move in next door they have their eye on lupine. Finding out there are in the ‘mafia’ doesn’t help until more truths are revealed.
It was a cute read I really like lupine and her orphanage. All the different type of shifters she had to deal with. The guys were just ok…I didn’t feel like I really got to know any of them. I could have used a bit more personality from them to distinguish them.
I was very much drawn into the mafia family. So I’m looking forward to see what happens with that. Hopefully we will also see Amon with his own book.
This is the first book I have read from this author and let me just say that she is a perfect addition to Silver Springs. Lupine is an amazing person with a huge heart. Especially after reading where she grew up. So what happens to Lupine that changes everything? LOL!! THE MAFIA?!? Say what? Does Silver Springs have a mafia? Well there are some really sexy wolf shifters who move in across the street that frazzles her. She tells herself to stay away and not to get involved but her heart is telling her something else. Then Love Blooms strikes again lol. From there, it gets heated. She doesn’t want the kids to know but you can’t hide things from kids. However, Lupine is suspicious of the guys and she will find out one way or another. What will happen and will there be a happily ever after? You will need to read to find out.
Wow what a cute read that shows how amazing a big family can be and not the same blood. Stand alone read.
This is my first book I have read from this author and I gave to admit I did enjoy Lupine. Lupine is a great FMC, she is full of spunk and sassiness and reading about her with the orphans is hilarious. The orphans bring that little bit extra to the story then the other books from this town…it is a stand alive book but you also get glimpses from the characters in the other books and it is great to see how they are all going as well! This is one of my favourite books from this series, I felt like the story was deeper and more developed. I felt all the males brought a unique something to the story and I liked their connection with Lupine, even though Lupine did not like them at the start of the story!
A paranormal orphanage, shifters, half angels and witches, all of this adds up to chaos and mayhem But what a fantastic read it makes also! I love the orphans and Lupin is just excellent and snarky and I liked that when she found her harem/mates they fit right in! Again like the other previous Silver Springs books this had me in stitches in places and it’s full of crazy, I just loved it!
My first read of this genre and Hanleigh Bradley certainly know how to keep you interested. I am blown away with the writing style, the story is full of fun, the antics at the Orphanage have you laughing out loud, also there is worry, interest and parts that make you wonder about your sex life , there is no lull in this story, I put it in the Can’t Put It Down class, All the characters work well into the story, the imagination runs wild just thinking what the children look like and what they are up to. Definitely a five star must read.
I received this book as an ARC and wanted to give an honest review.
Strong female leader
I loved how Lupine really lead her men, and yet loved both them and all the kids at her orphanage. The bonds and relationships with her men could have been better developed, but there were a lot of important relationships to include in one little story. This story sets up the next in the series (Calluna by Jewels Arthur) quite nicely.
