There’s no escaping a Dire Wolf on the hunt…Feared by even his own kind, Bez of the Dire Wolf shifters knows exactly how to succeed in any battle. Even if that means racking up collateral damage along the way. A simple mission into the swamplands to save a teenage wolf shifter should have been an easy track and retrieval for a man with his training, but nothing comes easy when the fates get … nothing comes easy when the fates get involved.
In one night, Omega Sariel went from a free, single shewolf to a captive with a teenage girl to watch over and a couple of guards intent on making her life miserable…what little is left of it. Then a soldier with ice in his eyes walks in, and the mating call begins. He’s too tough, too harsh, too murderous…but when your life hangs in the balance, a lethal fighter in your corner is better than battling alone. Especially one who isn’t afraid to get a little dirty with her.
Two kidnapped women, one dangerous soldier unknowingly about to come face-to-face with fate, and a monster set on destroying everything in its path. In the world of the Dire Wolves, a retrieval is a simple mission for the unit of soldiers that make up their pack. But this time, a single glance blows simple right out of the swamp and forces Bez to make his stand alone.
One soldier, one fight…one chance at forever.

As much as I love paranormal novels whether it be romances, action war or horrors. To come across paranormals that I don’t normally see is truly exciting. In this case dire wolves. In fact the fact that they are heroes just makes it even better. Great novel.
The story wasn’t bad, but there are many inconsistencies, repetitions, unnecessary drama and weak character development to deserve a higher rating.
And I can’t get over the fact that the main male character – described as a super-strong, big, feared, experienced, bad ass warrior – would seriously consider abandoning a woman to a certain death, simply because she doesn’t fit in his plans. A big no for me.
A gripping tale, hard to put the book down, looking forward to reading the rest in the series.
Love this story! It was truly captivating right from the beginning! I listened to the audiobook version of the story. The narrator was the perfect fit for Savage Surrender and absolutely holds ALL of your attention. This is a shorter book but it does not stop. There is no down time. It will consume you! The POVs go back and forth between Sariel, a kidnapped Omega wolf, and Bez, of the Dire Wolves. Bez is put on a mission to retrieve a kidnapped, teenage Omega wolf but when he finds her, there are two Omegas! He has to go against normal protocol to go back for the other Omega but there is a problem….they are mates! *wags eyebrows* So now there is this instant mating bond and both of them are having a hard time concentrating. Bez, going against every protocol and saves both Angelita, the teenage Omega, and Sariel, his mate and other Omega. There are so many things going on from the time they meet, escape, and get to the safe house. As they are able to assess the situation better, they find that the enemy has something else up their sleeve…and it is soooooo bad! As the enemy makes their way toward them, Bez and Sariel have to keep their heads about them and not give into the mating as it will make them extremely vulnerable. But once the fight happens, look out! If you listen to the book or read it, it will consume you and you will not be able to put it down. I can’t wait to continue this journey!

I was disappointed by so much repetitiveness. Numerous paragraphs could have been struck out to improve the story by leaps & bounds.
Some of the actions of both MC’s was inconsistent to how mature and intelligent they are supposed to be.
I will continue to book 2 sometime in the near’ish future. That book will tell me if I will continue with this series. It is a good concept but not well executed.

4.5 stars. This is a book from a new author I found in the Shifters in Spring box set and was free on Amazon.
I just loved this book and the Dire Wolves, OMG. The biggest, baddest of all the wolf shifters out there.
The story had loads of action and just kept me reading and I cannot wait to read about the rest of these really extraordinary pack of Dire Wolves.
I loved the instant knowing that the one you are seeing is your mate but it was not in a silly way, it was sensible, grown up and enjoyable.
I have read the short bonus follow up to this (Savage Surrender-Homecoming) which is free from the authors newsletter, so if you like this book make sure to get and read this too.
I have just started book two in this series and had to force myself to put it down to write this review.
I am going to have to read her other series Feral Breed MC even though I am not into biker books.
