I’ll begin by saying that I’ve yet to read a Terry Spear book that I didn’t enjoy – sure, some I loved, others I liked, but I’ve always felt at home in her created world that connects in many series through several unique characters. ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ is another story that quickly caught my attention and held it throughout Lexi’s and Ryder’s adventures in danger, laughter, banter, and falling in love. Although this is the third title in the ‘Billionaire Wolf’ series within the overall ‘Heart of the Wolf’ series/world it could be read on its own for any background you might need is given when it makes sense for the story. I would recommend them all for they are great stories, but if this is your first one then sit back and enjoy.
It’s not often that we encounter female billionaires, so Lexi’s fortune, her hard work, and the price she’s paid in so many ways brought a fresh feel to this story. Unfortunately, Lexi is being followed by a load of trouble and annoyances in the form of paparazzi, a crazy stalking reporter, and true danger from those who would harm her in order to get to her father. Wealth comes with downsides, especially in personal relationships when never knowing (or finding out late) when someone is interested in Lexi or Lexi’s money comes into play – and into the wall that she’s built around her emotions. Watching Ryder slowly, steadily tear down those walls was such fun to experience.
We run into old book friends, meet some interesting new characters, discover twists and turns galore, and experience wealth from a slightly different point of view. I enjoyed ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ very much. There were moments that made me smile, some tension-filled moments, times I laughed out loud, and always the sexy moments that steam up the e-reader. I had fun, and that’s the point. If you love a good Shifter or Paranormal Romance with a bit of Romantic Suspense then give ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ a shot – you may end up with a new series to devour.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
An interesting and fast-paced shifter story. There’s a mystery, danger, a few laughs, and some steamy smexy-times. I really enjoyed the MCs,Lexi and Ryder, and thought they were great together. It was also fun to see characters from another of Ms. Spear’s series in this book.
Overall, a fun read.
Thank you to the publisher, Sourcebooks, and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.
NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF by Terry Spear is the third book in the Billionaire Wolf series. It is a paranormal romantic suspense novel set mostly in California and it worked well as a standalone novel. Lexi Summerfield is a billionaire and a wolf shifter. She and her personal assistant / bodyguard, Kate Hanover are vacationing at Redwood National Park. However, it is hard to relax when there are paparazzi, ex-boyfriends, and others who are even more dangerous. Then Lexi meets gray wolf shifter and bodyguard Ryder Gallagher who is also on vacation. What happens next is an entertaining story of suspense, action, and romance.
The main characters were compelling and someone you can root for. Their goals were clear and proactive with believable motivations. The supporting characters were well developed as well and the tension made the book a page turner. There were several twists and surprises that enhanced the storyline. The writing was compulsively readable and engrossing. The plot was suspenseful, brisk, absorbing, enjoyable and entertaining. There are several steamy scenes later in the book.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was well-crafted and I would recommend it to those that read this genre. This is the second book that I have read by this author in 2020 and I look forward to reading more.
Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and Terry Spear for a complimentary ARC of this novel via NetGalley and the opportunity to provide an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.

Emotionally thrilling, sexy, exciting and action packed journey filled with magical and dangerous charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. Was a edge of your seat read from beginning to end.
NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is the third instalment in Terry Spear’s contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRE paranormal romance series, and the twenty-ninth instalment in the author’s HEART OF THE WOLF series. This is wolf shifters billionaire business woman Lexi Summerfield, and security specialist Ryder Gallagher’s story line. NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Lexi and Ryder) NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF follows several paths including the building romance and relationship between wolf shifters billionaire business woman Lexi Summerfield, and security specialist Ryder Gallagher. Lexi Summerfield made her billions in the cosmetic industry but with her father in the witness protection program, and her mother dead in a fiery crash, Lexi found herself the target of Joe Tremaine, a very powerful man, the man her father witnessed murder the DA in cold blood. A few days of R&R with her PA and bodyguard Kate, Lexi would come face to face with wolf shifter and security specialist Ryder Gallagher, the wolf with whom Lexi will fall in love but Lexi struggles with issues of trust believing every man, human or wolf, is after he money, and in this Lexi is reluctant to reveal anything about herself. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Lexi and Ryder, as the couple, along with Kate and Ryder’s partner Mike, find themselves on a treasure hunt, hoping to find the clues, leading to information about our heroine’s father.
Meanwhile, Don Morgan, a paparazzi reporter continues to stalk our story line heroine, a reporter who finds himself caught in the middle when men are sent to take down Lexi Summerfield. Joe Tremaine is desperate to find the location of Lexi’s father, and the continuous barrage of gunmen and assassins he has sent to find Lexi, all will meet their final demise.
The relationship between Lexi and Ryder is slow to develop. Ryder is definitely interested in making Lexi his mate but Lexi’s cold veneer and distant attitude leaves something to be desired. Lexi finds herself on the receiving end of one too many dates and proposals, and in this, ‘dating’ Ryder Gallagher is just another potential male to add to her pile. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text but I struggled to feel any palpable sexual attraction-there were no romantic or discernable emotional ‘feels’ , and a barely perceptible acknowledgement of interest or sexual desire from our story line heroine until seventy-five per-cent of the story wherein Lexi asks Ryder to be her mate…that’s it….no romance, no chemistry, no seduction…only a few kisses…until this particular part of the story. At one point I thought the story was going to focus on Ryder and Kate, or Mike and Kate.
We are introduced to Lexi’s father physician Dr. Kurt and her paediatrician mother Dr. Adelaide Summerfield; Lexi’s PA and bodyguard Kate Hanover; Ryder’s friend and fellow security specialists Mike Stallings and Edward Manning: as well as numerous characters from the author’s Silver Town Wolves (Heart of the Wolf series) including Lelandi and Darien Silver.
NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is an engaging story of family , friendships, and vengeance but once again, there is too much telling, not enough showing and plenty of unnecessary and redundant repetition which added to the already slow building story line. The slow building romance is tender; the characters are spirited and energetic. Sadly, this is not one of my favorites.
