When resistance turns to desire, all bets are off. Beautiful and vivacious wolf shifter, Jordan spurns the match her father is pushing between her and the swaggering mammoth, Raider. She’d happily let one of her fawning sisters have him, but her packmates are taking bets on who Raider will ultimately claim. Jordan wants nothing to do with the insufferable beast. All brawn and no brains, that’s … beast.
All brawn and no brains, that’s what most male shifters think when they see Raider. The females treat him as a strong, attractive prize they want to sink their claws into. Only one female avoids him, which is fine by him until they are paired up for patrol. The hot-blooded she-wolf doesn’t have to like him, but she’ll have to find a way to perform her duties.
Entangled in a web of deceit . . . and desire.
When Jordan’s life is threatened, along with several packmates, the mating games take a dangerous turn.
Something sinister is happening in Wolf Hollow and outside forces threaten to rip the destined pair apart.

This is a very cool unique wolf shifter series! I can’t get enough. Is not your typical love story shifters: love at first sight or “fated mates”. Is refreshing to read something out of my comfort zone. This is everyday life at wolf hollow and follow the lives of everyone in their pack. There are many characters and we get POV’s from a lot of them not just our main leads which is very cool and interesting. Some days at wolf hollow can get difficult when you face enemies like humans or “rabid wolfs” who have been infected. This story focuses on Raider and Jordan and they were so freaking awesome. Both strong and fighters. The get to know one another and really start to fall for each other like normal relationships do. Definitely alot ot romance and action pack!. My heart ached for the loss of a pack member towards the end and everyone affected by it. I cried. I highly recommend the series!
I think it’s important to say that the events that happened in Wolf Hollow aren’t forgotten they ripple throughout this book and it’s not just forgotten. It has a ripple effect and all the other characters feel it too.
I loved Jordan and Raider’s characters, they both reminded me so much, Sasha and Tabor and I think that would be my only compliant, that these characters reminded me so much of Sasha and Tabor in the sense of both sets wanted to escape the elders, Raider was kind of like Tabor and Jordan was like Sasha. Although it made laugh the fact that sometimes Sasha and Jordan did butt heads through this story, which was also slightly amusing.
I really liked their relationship it kind of went from dislike to lovers, although at first, it was just about sex between them that eventually turned into something else between them which I liked how we saw the change.
Throughout the pack, Jordan was known as a bit of a slag due to the fact she was regularly having sex with two of the other pack members, although the author didn’t represent her like that which was good. It was just a few pack members that recognised her like that, it was nice that the author just represented her as someone who was sexually liberated and was in control of their own body which I thought was good.
I loved the plot, it relates much more to family in this book, we see Jordan in different relationships with her sister ranging from hating them to loving them, but she always aims to be there for them and tries to take care of them. We see Jordan’s much caring side when one of her sister’s get sick, I did not guess who was hurting her or her sister, I did not see that twist coming and it was an absolutely brilliant twist. I did not see that coming at all, so bravo Nikki Jefford on that twist. Jordan’s father was a dick the way he treated her was disgusting especially when trying to dictate who she should choose as a mate.
There was some betting that went on, I love how Jordan’s sister one of them that I can’t remember the name of, took part in a bet that included her, it makes me chuckle so many times. I love it when people place bets on stuff happening that involves them. It’s one of my favourite things in a story.
I liked how we saw Elise (Tabor’s sister) and that she was still so willing to help people when they were hurt or trying to locate people. Only with Tabor’s permission though as she didn’t want to jeopardise anything for the pack which I loved. I can’t help but feel that Elise is holding something back, whether that will come up later in some of the other books. Who knows with that one.
I love the writing in this book there is something about her writing that I really like and it keeps me hooked and wanting to read on!
Loved this book. Maybe even better than the first ! Great characters, action, twists and turns, intense romance scenes, etc. Great read ! Looking forward to the next one………
Wolf Hollow was my first read from Nikki Jefford and i fell so far down the rabbit hole i never want to come out. I fell in love with her style of writing and the absolutely captivating world she created. When i found out that there was to be a series of books i couldn’t wait. So when i got Mating Games i devoured it, i loved it!
The main story revolves around Raider and Jordan. Everyone is betting who Raider will end up with. With fathers trying to pair shifters off with each other. Much to the chagrin of Raider and Jordan neither of them want to be told. They are both strong willed and want to choose their own mates when the right time comes. Not everyone is of the same opinion and are desperately vying for Raiders attention by ANY means necessary.
This book isn’t just about them, we are given so much within this one read. Shifters, drama, mystery, suspense, amazing and diverse romance. Just when I thought I figured things out, bam another twist another turn. Blending into a fantastic story that kept me captivated and guessing all the way through, and thats great writing.
I can’t wait to see what will happen next within Wolf Hollow in Born Free. There are so many could be relationships developing that Nikki Jeffford has got me desperately wanting the next book now!! So until then i will just have to “Run Free”
