This is a paranormal romance with a realistic look at relationships and how pasts can affect the present and future. It is a story which will keep you hooked on their rollercoaster of a journey until you find out the final choices they make
This was a new author to me, but that I have heard good things about. The cover of this made me think of Jacob Black from the Twilight series so I figured that I would like it. And I wasn’t disappointed. I found myself pulled in from the very beginning of the book and couldn’t put it down. The author did an amazing job with her attention to details in both the characters and the stories. I felt like I was watching this happen before my own eyes. Those are the books that I really like. The way she was writing about the characters made me feel as though I knew them personally. Or at least wanted to. It truly is a great read and I do highly recommend it. Especially if you are into the paranormal genre that leaves you crying, laughing, and just wanting to live their lives.
Tamara has caught the nose of a wolf, but the eye if his human form named Josh. She isn’t up for a relationship since her fiance left her. When a stray dog continuously shows up on her doorstep she decides to take him in. Unbeknownst to her he is not a regular dog. Josh, or Nightfall as Tamara has named him, has other plans to make Tamara fall in love with him. He wants to be more than just her pet, but he must find the right time to reveal the truth. Will Tamara stick around once the truth comes out or will she freak out and run away? Will she be willing to open her heart and love again?
This was an alright read. I have read many shifter/werewolf books and this one was different than what I am used to.
Nightfall by TK Lawyer
4 of 5 Stars
An enjoyable and engaging paranormal, shifter romance with a twist. I was hooked from start to finish with this novel and felt immersed in Tamara and Josh’s world. Tamara has been burned by men before and is now against dating but she faintly remembers a man, Josh who she didn’t dare take a chance with and wishes she had. Meanwhile Josh, who is actually a wolf shifter is drawn to Tamara and her scent and when he realises that she is in fact his mate he will do anything to be near her, even become her pet. Tamara thinks the stray dog she took in is just her new pet, Nightfall, and could never imagine that he is in fact Josh. Josh soon wants to be more to Tamara than just her pet but is unsure how to get out of the crazy situation he’s in. He decides to convince her that he is the one for her. However, Tamara’s battered heart is preventing her from opening up to Josh and excepting a future with him and Josh knows that he risks her walking away from him for good. The authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life and I liked the twist on the shifter mate relationship, with Tamara thinking that Josh was her pet, Nightfall. The chemistry between Josh and Tamara came across in the story and I enjoyed how their relationship developed as they got to know each other. The storyline flowed well and the plot kept me happily turning the pages, keen to discover what would happen next.

Nightfall by T.K. Lawyer is a paranormal romance story. Who doesn’t like a story where there are sexy shifters and romance? It is a little fun as our MC discovers the “dog” that turned up on her doorstep is a little more than meets the eye. This cute story will keep you interested as we watch it all play out.
After being hurt in the past, Tamara has closed off her heart to men and has built a solid wall around it to make sure no man can get in and hurt her again. But that doesn’t mean she can’t have a pet. When she finds a dog sleeping on her porch more than a couple of times, she decides to take it in. However…this dog is anything but a normal pet.
Josh knows that he and Tamara are meant to be…but he can’t get find a way into her life to make sure she knows it to. So when Tamara takes in his wolf as a pet…he needs to find a way to change that…stat! When he starts making himself known to Tamara, he does whatever it will take to make him see that they are fated mates. But will Tamara let her guard down?
I enjoyed this story. I’m s sucker for a good wolf – paranormal romance. There were times I found myself frustrated with Tamara because she held on to her past hurt so tight that she couldn’t see past it. But I admire Josh’s persistence and loyalty. This was a good book that I enjoyed reading!
What an enthralling book. I jumped right in and couldn’t put it down. I’ve become a real fan of this author’s writing. I enjoyed how the story developed. It had a nice flow and really engaged the reader’s imagination. Really enjoyed it.
For Tamara, love has let her down, and she has walls built so high that no man can get to her. Men just never want to give all of themselves to her. It has taken her a long time to recover from the breakup with her fiance who said mean and hateful things to her upon their breakup.
Morning after morning, Tamara opens her front door to a dog sprawled out on her front porch. Finally deciding that the dog is a stray, she takes him to the vet to get checked out. The vet informs her that this dog is well-cared for and looks to be a wolf-mix. She loves animals so she decides she will take a chance. She gets his shots and takes the wolf home despite being a little afraid of the size of the animal.
Tamara names the dog, Nightfall. She falls in love with the wolf but refuses to give over her domain to such a large dog. Shortly after the wolf comes into her life, she starts receiving mysterious gifts from a guy that she wished has dated a long time ago.
Tamara suddenly finds herself face to face with an unimaginable situation. Can she let down her walls to let a man truly love and desire her?
I enjoyed this book. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her stories pull you in from the beginning. Her writing skills and attention to details make the story engaging and gives it a realistic feel. This book is no different. I enjoyed being pulled in from the beginning. The characters are connectable and truly bring the story to life on each page. They are strong paranormal characters that made the story fun and entertaining to read. This is a story about Tamara who thinks she is done with men and dating and also has a past that seems to keep coming to the present and his name is Josh. He is determined to have her but is her heart to broken? Will he convince her that he is everything she needs? I enjoyed the growth throughout the story which kept me turning pages. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
Tamara finds a dog/wolf and keeps him as a pet and names him Nightfall. Josh is a wolf shifter who is Nightfall and finds his mate. Is she willing to accept all of him? Will Tamara be able to embrace a new relationship because of past hurts?
This is supposed to be PNR but its not. Only indicator is Josh transforms into a wolf. That’s it. Nothing else. This reads like a contemporary romance. Story moves really slow in my opinion. It’s got good aspects. I liked the beginning of the book because it flowed pretty well and it was funny. Once he starts talking to her in her head kinda veered off. Slowed down a lot. There’s not a lot of character development or that much to the story. Not like a typical PNR you normally read with a lot of detail. I liked Tamara and Josh but because of the separation I wasn’t necessarily rooting for them to be together. Book just didn’t draw me in enough. The writing wasn’t consistent. For example, when she goes out on a date she meets her date Keith there but later she says he drove her there. I actually went back to make sure I read that right. She doesn’t drink alcohol but has a drink at the club and feels the affects. So, yes there are a few inconsistent things in the writing. I don’t like giving negative reviews and this wasn’t that bad but I didn’t care for it unfortunately. Just too many inconsistencies and not enough story although it was a novel size. I think the author spent too much time in one area and left out others which is why this didn’t work for me.
Tammera is done with all men, except the stray dog she finds on her doorstep. Little does she know her dog is a shapeshifter named josh and her mate. Will she allow him to love her or deny him and their fate?
Oh jeez…where to begin with this review.
First I have to say that I positively absolutely hated Tamara’s character. I get being gun shy when it comes to relationships after being burned too many times. However, Tamara takes it just way too far and essentially sabotages her own chance of happiness when it comes to Josh. Her emotions run hot an cold throughout the entire book. By the end I honestly felt sorry for Josh having such a lousy mate. It’s ironic because Tamara liked to believe she was a strong person, but she really isn’t. Then by the end she’s saying that she’s an upfront kind of person…which is ironic considering she left Josh hanging without any form of communication for 2-3 days so she could come up with some kind of excuse for why her friend kissed her.
When it comes to Josh’s character, honestly I felt the author just made him a wolf so she categorize this book as paranormal. Because once Josh shifts back to his human form and Tamara discovers that he is the stray she took in, the who shifting into a wolf things takes a backseat.
There was also one glaring timeline issue that I normally wouldn’t point out, however, it just aggravated me with this one because of how Tamara would use the little amount of time they’ve known each other as a reason to not move forward. At one point it’s mentioned that they had essentially been living together for 4 almost 5 months…but then in the next chapter Josh is second guessing the speed of their relationship because they had only been together 2 months.
This was different from the other PNR that I’ve read. This one involves a shapeshifter(human to wolf) named Josh and Tamara (human). Typically in these books the male takes charge of the relationship but that just wasn’t the case here. Josh set out to make it an equal partnership. I enjoyed the fact that their relationship wasn’t rushed and im hoping to read/learn more about these two if possible. However if not I think I’ll read more from this author. The only thing that saddens me is I didn’t connect to the characters like I would have liked.
This book seemed very long. Tamara was a character that is hard to describe. She was all over the place – she cares for Josh but she is scared due to past relationships. She is jealous of every woman around him yet she flirts all the time with other guys. Josh – good grief how long was he going to stay in a wolf form? I just could not get into this book. The majority of the book was just the two of them talking. And talking.
Tamara has given up on men because of how they all ripped out her heart. Then suddenly a man from her past, Josh, starts to come around. He absolutely loves her scent. He can’t get enough of it. One whiff and he knows that she’s his mate. Can Josh heal the scars on her heart?
Josh has his work cut out for him in winning Tamara’s heart. It’s painfully obvious how untrusting she is with men, due to past relationships. Josh perseveres, and nearly gives up. I enjoyed this book.
A shifter romance full of drama and emotional baggage. The story was just okay for me. It was slow going and I really couldn’t get into it.
“This is the second time I read about a FMC not knowing her mam is the ‘dog/wolf’ she’s taking care off and it’s good in a kind of embarrassing situation. She petting him like a dog and he just acting like a dog and… like I said weird but in a good way.
I love Tamara’s attitude with ‘Nightfall’ as a dog lover I know how special they are even though her was WAY MORE than special.
John plan to be close to her mate was really unusual and that’s what I loved the most. Something really different form the usual shifters fated mates.
What a great story. The ending was absolutely perfect, I couldn’t have ask for something different. A beautiful happily ever after with all the feels.”
Josh is unable to stay away from Tamara, he knows that she is his mate but she wants nothing to do with men. But when what she thinks is a stray has been found on her doorstep she knows that there is something about it. But Josh does not want to be her pet, her wants her in his arms and life. How will he find a way to move from pet to future mate without scaring her off. I’ve never read about a shifter finding his mate this way and I really enjoyed it. A must read to learn how Josh change the rolls in their lives and how Tamara reacts to it
Tamara and Josh meet when she thinks he is a pet and takes the wolf shifter into her home. A cute story that I enjoyed reading. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
