Mal wants one thing in life–vengeance against those that deserted him and those who tortured him. But rescuing a wounded woman from their captors, one that wreaks of innocence and fear, makes Mal put his plan on hold. Temporarily. He’ll do what he needs to keep her alive and safe, even if it changes both of their lives forever. Being stabbed and held in a dark cell wasn’t on Olivia’s top ten … top ten list. Her savior isn’t exactly hero material. Angry, scarred, and pissed at the world, he seems to resent being saddled with her. But the longer they’re together, the more firmly a connection forms between them. A connection that binds her to him, his pack, and his world. But that connection may just lead to her death.

This book was sooooooo good. Two very strong main characters because they had to be in order to survive. I am loving this series. I love how even in the midst of all the pain, the male character wet to great lengths to protect his mate. They both needed to heal and to practice a lot of forgiveness. This is an absolutely must read.
I admit, after reading Falling for the Billionaire Wolf and His Baby, I didn’t know how I’d feel about broody Mal and what happened to him, but wow, I’m so glad I gave Rescued by the Wolf a chance!
Rescued by the Wolf gave me so much to work with on Mal and his devotion to his friends and his pack. And the revelations he discovers about himself and what he’s capable of when protecting what’s “his” are compelling and awesome to see as he grows as a man and a wolf.
I loved the connection with Olivia—that she gave Mal a chance, that they found love. That they managed to rise above the craziness and come through for each other. I love how Olivia softened Mal’s hard edges, and that his love and protection helped her understand his world.
Looking forward to more in this series!

Blood Moon Brotherhood #2
Sometimes I just like a werewolf shapeshifter romance and it seems this book hit me at just the right time. I had not read the previous book in this series but had no trouble jumping right in, following and enjoying book two AND there was enough hints to flesh out most of book one without retelling the entire story.
Mal has been suffering for some time at the hands of The Others when an injured young woman is brought in and put into the cage next to his. His wolf is drawn to her immediately although Mal is less smitten – at least at first. With the opportunity to escape presenting itself he takes it and takes Olivia with him. While on the run she is further injured, turned into a werewolf and then meets his pack. There is a traitor in the midst of Mal’s pack to find and information to be revealed about Olivia’s family and The Others before the book ends.
I don’t give away spoilers but will say that this had elements I like to see in such stories: steamy scenes, fights, pack unity, time spent as a wolf, steamy scenes, thwarting the bad guys and a problem that still needs to be resolved. There is no cliffhanger but there is enough said to make th reader want to read the next book – at least this reader 😉
I loved Olivia and found her a person I would like to get to know better. Mal appealed though he was a bit taciturn at times. I really want to know more about Ellen – for some reason she intrigues me – being not of them but also not of the last pack she was in. I liked the fact that there were baby werewolves and…well…I just liked this book and am definitely hoping to read more by this author. Oh…and the rest of the pack sounds intriguing, too, I mean…male werewolf shapeshifters that all need a mate…got to want to see them all settle down, right?
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
5 Stars
Mal is a seriously taciturn kind of guy! He speaks only if necessary, leaving Olivia to muse all sorts of questions, but his temper…tsk tsk! It was rather amusing to see Olivia talk him down a couple of times! Olivia is sweet, but definitely not a pushover. She’s intelligent and quick on her feet, but having taken a few hard knocks recently, her reserves are running low. Meeting Mal under crappy circumstances and dealing with everything that follows seems perfectly logical compared to the rest of her life!
I liked Mal and Olivia’s relationship. They were cute together and I thought Mal’s protectiveness was hilarious compared to his grumpy demeanor! I’m really curious about Ellen and wondering what’s up with her!
I liked nothing about this book. Too dark for my taste. couldn’t even read 1 chapter.
OK, the past tense of the word drag is dragged NOT drug, learn this! Wolves do NOT bark, do your homework. Finn as alpha should be more dominant Mal acts more alpha than Finn does.
Enjoyed the story
Good read that keeps you flipping the pages.
This is Book 2 in the Blood Moon Brotherhood. It can be read as a Stand-Alone. Mal has been captured by Cyrus and his band of Others. While he’s being held in a cage, they bring Olivia in and cage her. These two are something else. He’s mad all the time and she just has bad luck. She’s stabbed, dragged off by a bear then bitten by a wolf and carried off to a group of strange people who all turn into wolves. You have to feel sorry for her. What a good story. I really enjoyed the chemistry between these two and the relationship between the whole group. That’s exactly how a “family” should be. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from Netgalley.
This exhilarating and gripping story starts off with a bang and keeps readers glued to the pages with thrills and romance until the very end.
Mal just wants revenge against those who deserted him and those who tortured him. Olivia’s savior isn’t exactly hero material, but the longer she’s with him, the stronger their connection becomes. These two strong, inspiring characters capture readers’ hearts and hold them captive with their strength and courage. The romance between certainly doesn’t start off on the best foot what with them being captives and all, but the attraction and the sizzling connection doesn’t won’t be denied. The relationship has lots of emotional turmoil, a couple of large hurdles to cross that keeps readers in suspense throughout.
As stated above, the story starts off with an adrenaline pumping event and just keeps on building adrenaline and anticipation throughout as Mal and Olivia try to outwit their enemies and survive long enough to reach the pack, all while dealing with injuries, wild bears and a connection that neither is too sure they want. The story kept me glued to the pages and the fascinating characters ensure that I want to know more about this pack and while I read this series out of order and had no trouble enjoying it, it would probably be best if read in sequence to get the most enjoyment of the overall series story arc.
