Puppy love
Here you will find the stories of the rest of the rebel brothers, but this ones story really touched me
Conner & Tim’s quiet wolf shifter brother Chase has been mooning over Sophie for months and so has Sophie….They finally come together and it is explosive to say the least. Who would have thought?
There is a secret in Sophie’s past though and it may change the way things stand between them, but then Chase is not free of his own and he thinks his may be worse for her to handle.
Old threats seem to follow these shifters and Chase is no exception, Sophies’ past comes to haunt them. This story is so full of wondrous expectations and love so pure, that words are not needed between this couple of love birds.
Looks like another of Nanalani’s Pearls of Desire has found a willing victim and Kokakea has another family member, but legend mentions 5 Pearls and only 4 have found a home….Will Moira get her hands on the last one and use it for her evil desires, or will another worthy victim find love?
Must-read Shifter-set Conclusion – with bonus material!!
Besides each story being fabulous a read, you are treated to the “Extra chapters” that this amazing author always provides her newsletter subscribers after each book – making this boxset quite the deal!!
***** Rebel Wolf – 5-stars
Wolf-Shifter Chase gets his Story!!
Love this story about Chase. Chase was raised by a full-wolf mother and only learned how to “be” human later in life. He still struggles with such things as idioms, people saying things they do not mean and the intricacies of flirting.
Sophie runs the smoothie truck, adopts stray dogs and gets to see Chase almost every day. She comes from a radical family and enjoys the calmer pace in Maui, and the “shy, retiring and utterly gorgeous” Chase who works nearby.
When danger targets Sophie, Chases’ wolf becomes even harder to control.
A tender love story, accompanied by danger, intrigue and humor as Chase is able to “communicate” with Sophie’s dogs, and not all of them appreciate his presence in her life. I’ve been a fan of this series; still this story surpasses all expectations!! I highly recommend.
***** Rebel Heart – 5-stars
A Glimpse into Co-Alpha Cynthia’s backstory!!
Dragon-shifter Cynthia grew up the only child of one of the oldest, most venerated dragon clans on the East Coast. Over-protected and smothered she breaks loose a bit when her car breaks down and wolf-shifter Cal on a motorcycle is the one to rescue her. Her dragon sends her exciting images of the two of them, and apparently his wolf is able to receive those images too.
I’m anxiously awaiting the next book in the series to get “the rest of the story” about Cynthia and Cal. Love this shifter series!!
***** Rebel Alpha– 5-stars
Stunning Conclusion to the Aloha Shifters, Pearls of Desire series!!!!
Dragon-shifter Cynthia has been somewhat of a mystery throughout this series. She is highly protective of her young son, and does not interact easily as she organizes the others around her. Cynthia followed years of dragon protocol by marrying dragon-shifter Barnaby the father of her son, who died protecting their son Joey. When her destined mate wolf-shifter Cal comes to Maui stating she is once again in danger, she learns he was never far away and watching over her for some time.
“Cal lifted hi muzzle, and that was like the good old days, too. But instead of howling in glee, he let out a long, mournful cry. To human ears, the sounds were nearly indistinguishable, but she’d learned the difference, and it gutted her. His howl was lonely and devoid of hope. Resigned and empty instead of proud and optimistic, the way it used to be. Had she caused that?
This story will break your heart and build hope for a possible future, all while increasing danger looms. Exciting, heartfelt and poignant story of two souls destined to be together, yet forced apart by circumstance. I highly recommend this one!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
This is an entertaining collection with yummy dragon and wolf shifters, fated mates and forbidden romance. The collection abounds with secrets, danger, suspense, action and a final dramatic conclusion. You also get 3 bonus scenes you can’t purchase anywhere else. But the best parts are the steamy love scenes! Enjoy!
I’ve read each of these books individually and enjoyed reading them, the are entertaining and have a great storylines. The interaction and chemistry between the characters is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this box set as a FREE copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Fun Series!!
Rebel Wolf –
If you’ve read the previous books, you know Sophie and Chase are completely smitten with each other, but both were too shy to make a move. Finally, they are going to have their first date, but things don’t go as planned when someone is out to hurt or even kill Sophie! For full enjoyment, I’d recommend reading the previous books, but it’s not completely necessary. This installment starts off with action right out of the gate, and that was great! Chase is a sweetheart! He knows Sophie is his mate and will do anything to protect her. His mom was a purebred wolf, and he grew up in his wolf form more often than his human, so he’s still unsure of the whole human thing. I did find it weird that his mom was fully a wolf. Sophie doesn’t know about shifters, and has sort of a strange upbringing. I don’t like that she withholds things, and she buries her head in the sand. Which I thought right before Anna Lowe mentioned it in this book, lol! I still liked her though, she just needed some incentive to open up. Chase and her are too cute together, and I enjoyed their chemistry. I always enjoy the action in an Anna Lowe book, and the story is entertaining and keeps me reading. Good stuff!
Rebel Heart –
Oh man! What a tease! I don’t usually read prequel books because I don’t like the waiting afterwards. This did make me want to know the rest of Cynthia and Cal’s story. I liked the opposites attract scenario, and they have great chemistry. I’m excited to see what happened to keep them apart. I wasn’t happy that Cynthia moved on after whatever happened; at least so far with the little I know of her story. I wish a certain scenario would’ve player out differently. I don’t want to give spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. Quick read that is a great lead into an interesting story!
Rebel Alpha –
I really enjoy the premise for this series, it’s very entertaining! The whole series has been wonderful! I believe this is the last book in the series, so I’d recommend reading from the beginning. There are previous characters, so I think it’s best, but each book is about a different couple. In Rebel Alpha, we get to see prideful dragon shifter, Cynthia, find love with sweet and wonderful wolf shifter, Cal. These 2 have a shaky past, so they have a bit of work in front of them. Plus, there is the added issue of dangerous people out to get the shifters of Koakea. Cynthia had a long way to go with me because I hate the fact that she chose duty over love. She really hurt Cal, who is beyond loyal and amazing. She’s also a bit cold towards him in the beginning and she mentioned that she didn’t want the other shifters to know about Cal and Her, so I was really disappointed in her. I can tell she really loves Cal though, and she just made a huge mistake. They do have a really sweet romance, and they are passionate. As I said, Cal is really wonderful. The action scenes were great, and the writing flows wonderfully. It’s also great to see how past characters are doing! Loved this series! Great finale!
These are the last three stories in the Pearls of Desire series and the collection includes good bonus scenes to delight us. Read them individually and enjoyed the characters and the intriguing plot developments that kept me looking for more. Full of adventure, suspense, mystery, magic, drama, romance, hot passion and evil always lurking in the dark ready to strike.
Rebel Wolf by Anna Lowe
Chase was in love, but he felt no fitted for the human girl. Sophie wanted to be loved and Chase was her desire. When enemies were threatening their lives, would their love be enough to protect them? Secrets, suspense, danger, sweet and amusing scenes, strong emotions, romance, heated passion and violence. Liked the descriptions and narrations that made me feel the love in the air. The doggies were a good addition to the story. Enjoyed how well Sophie and Chase complemented each other.
Rebel Heart
These are Cynthia’s memories about what could had be and she lost. A short story, rather an intriguing memory with regrets and longing. Strong emotions, romance and just like an awakening with lot of passion. But the author promised she will have her HEA and I’m eager for her book.
Rebel Alpha by Anna Lowe
Cynthia had loved deeply but put duty first and lost her beloved. Cal had sacrificed all to protect her and now their enemies had them in the same path, again. Liked Cal’s character, his integrity, strong will and commitment. Compelling, intriguing and heart-breaking Cynthia and Cal’s story with so much emotions and threats surrounding them. Action with suspenseful scenes that had me on edge. Good, exciting and intense fights, secrets, violence, romance, passion and even a prophecy!
This review will included the 3 original reviews from the books before they began available in a box set.
Rebel Wolf (Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire #4) 5 Stars
Anna, has given us another great book in the Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire Series. I loved getting to read Chases story. Sophie and Chase make the perfect couple. You will really enjoy reading this book.
Rebel Heart: A prequel (Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire #4.5) 4 Stars
I really enjoyed reading this prequel to Rebel Alpha. The back story to Cynthia’s life before she met the ragtag bunch in Maui was just enough info to give a taste of what is to come in her book. I can’t wait!
Rebel Alpha (Aloha Shifters: Pearls of Desire #5) 5 Stars
Mrs. Lowe has done it again, I absolutely love this book and series. I have been waiting a long time to finally get to read Cynthia’s story and Anna did not disappoint. Cynthia’s and Cal’s Story has everything you can want in a romance. Plus a little danger and evil to make things interesting.
Rebel Wolf
Oh Chase, having to deal with living among people after living in the wild it’s almost too much. Good thing Sophie comes along just in time to get this wolf settled. They have to face her past but with the help of friends (family), love will get them through.
Rebel Heart
Quick but great glimpse into Cynthia’s past. There have been hints all along that Cynthia was more than she seemed, it was great to get that confirmation. This is real short but a very important piece I’m sure in the next storyline.
Rebel Alpha
The ending of this series is just as strong as any of the other books in either series. We are drawn into Cynthia & Cal’s story right from page 1 and our heart strings are pulled on all the way to the end. Its bittersweet to reach the ending but maybe the author will revisit this cast down the road, after all there are several offspring in the works.
The Bonus scenes add to the burn, you gotta love them
One of my favourite authors. Her great stories take you along for a ride to beautiful places.
Read through KU but will purchase this set in the future.
I always love box sets as they make it so easy to reread some of my favourite authors and their great series’.
Ms Lowe is certainly in my top ten of constantly re-readable authors and getting the bonus scenes included make it great to keep that story flow going.
REBEL WOLF
A great story that brings another cleverly hidden pearl to light, in the beautiful island of Maui.
Do yourself a favour and read this series of wonderful characters. Ms Lowe has a way of making her characters real and you really do get invested in them.
You could read this as a standalone but you will want to read the other books after you do.
We also have an interesting storyline in regards to Sophie’s background and what she was trying to leave behind.
Sophie and Chase have been making goo goo eyes at each other for quite a few months now over the counter of the smoothie truck Sophie works at.
Our very sweet natured and wonderful Chase has finally made a move to be with his mate Sophie. They are going on a date but before they can, things get blown all to hell and back.
These two sweet main characters must be two of the nicest and most innocent people ever.
No matter their backgrounds, there is a purity to Chase and Sophie that endears them to you.
Moira and her plans are once again causing problems but our guys are able to defeat this latest problem.
Loved how Chases’ home pack was protected and are now safe and secure.
I was kindly given this book by the author but I read it thorough KU. This is my honest review of this book.
DOUBLE DATE
Such a heart-warming story of how Sophie and Chase end up adding to their pet family with the help of fate.
REBEL HEART prequel to REBEL ALPHA
This is a quick teaser/taster for REBEL ALPHA, book 5 in the Aloha Shifters, Pearls of Desire series.
Such a short taster for a story that I am waiting impatiently to read but so emotional that I had tears in my eyes.
You don’t need to have read the previous books or this short but it will make reading Rebel Alpha that much more enjoyable.
Please note this is just a short sweet taster, not a full book but saying that any book written by this author is a winner for me.
REBEL ALPHA
There is so much going on in this last book and it was a pleasure to read.
The whole group we have come to love are out in force for the final confrontation.
Our very quiet and secretive Cynthia Brown comes out of the closet with a bang.
Cynthia and Cal are destined mates who met 12 years previously but parted under family pressure. Cynthia has lived with guilt and self-recrimination for years. Her only solace is her son Joey. The whole reason for her past decisions.
Cynthia’s destined mate comes to Koakea on a mission and so much sadness, regret and turmoil is bought into the open to be dealt with.
Cal has been on the edges of Moira and Joey’s life, protecting them from afar, no matter how it has deadened his heart to do this. He has lived only to protect and avenge Cynthia against her enemies. His supporter in doing this is a big surprise.
Moira and her evil are dealt with. Other players are bought in and we are looking to veer off into interesting territory.
Though I am sad that the Koakea Plantation shifters have come to an end, I am excited at where I think Ms Lowe is going to take us next.
I was kindly given this book by the author but I read it thorough KU. This is my honest review of this book.
ALOHA TO PARIS
Cassie and Silas are on business in Europe and one of the stops is Paris.
Here Silas meets up with a favourite old friend and intrudes Cassie to Hugo and his mate Clara.
Cassie tries her hand at making crepes.
We also get a small hint of what/who is coming in the new series FIRE MAIDENS.
REBEL WOLF: Another great story by this author. Her writing is always a treat. Sophie has such a big heart, greater determination and guts. Chase and his interactions with the world he finds himself in is so well done. The two of them create a heartwarming story with plenty of heat. Darcy sure is feisty and loyal. Her antics had me grinning throughout this book.
REBEL HEART: What a lead-in this novella is. It’s hot enough to singe your fingers and most certainly leaves you eagerly awaiting the book to come. Tempt yourself and read this one.
REBEL ALPHA: Cynthia’s story is heartbreaking as we as heartwarming. Her past has molded her but her present defines her. Her strengths and vulnerabilities make this story such a great read. I have to say the “execution” pun had me smiling! Fast paced and very well written I highly recommend it.
I received advanced copies of these books and freely leave this honest review.
This set follows the Hawaiian shifters who you thought would never find their mate. More adventure takes place in Hawaii and the fight scenes are heart pounding.
Terrific series! It will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Backstory/HistoryFuture
Rebel Wolf (Book 4): Anna Lowe is one of my favorite authors and this series is one of her best ones today. I have enjoyed every Pearl book that she is written and I would have to say she did a real good job with Chase’s story.
She’s done a great job writing a story about two shy people that if left to their own devices it would probably be 10 years before they would go out on their first date. The author handle this couple story with finesse and sensitivity but like other books in the series they will have to go through a trial of Fire and are they strong enough to come out winners in the end? Read this series if you haven’t because I believe you will not be disappointed.
Rebel Bear (Book 4.5): A nice appetizer to the full story.
Getting a glimpse of Cynthia’s backstory has now wet my appetite for the full book of where she’s come from and how it is looking in her future.
Cal is the unknown factor a wolf shifter any kind of friendship Cabo companionship but will settle for usually a one night stand
Rebel Alpha (Book 5):Loved it.
This book really topped off the series well. Getting to know Cynthia better through the telling of her past helped the reader understand some small storyline stragglers from other books.
I am sad to see the series end but it makes sense
