When tragedy took away everything she loved, Mika Westbrooke hardened her heart and focused her energy on defeating her clan’s enemies. However, when a charming Cajun worms his way into the New York clan, her instincts and her wolf go haywire and she suspects that he may be the one fate intended for her–her True Mate. But Mika doesn’t want a mate or to love again. But he can give her one thing … thing she does want … a child of her own, to love and cherish and fill in the void in her heart.
One fateful night, Marc Delacroix calls in a favor from one of the most powerful Betas in the world, and finally escapes the nightmare he’s been living for decades. All he has to do now is keep his head down and serve the New York Lycan clan for the next five years then he can be truly free to live his life. But he didn’t expect to meet Mika Westbrooke or that his inner wolf would be so fixed on the green-eyed beauty. He knows he needs to focus on his goal, but Mika’s proving to be a distraction–an alluring one, but a distraction nonetheless. Then she gives him an offer he can’t refuse … one night with her sweet body, in exchange for giving her the pup she desperately wants.
They strike a bargain, but keeping things casual is harder than they think, and when someone tries to hurt Mika, his protective instincts kick in. Are the mages out to kill her or is it Delacroix’s past, coming back to haunt him?

I totally loved this book I was always intrigue about Delacroix from the previous book boy let me tell you that this book definitely doesn’t disappoint. There was much more to him than I ever expected. Add in drama, twist and turn, and of course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end and you have a helluva read. Looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

This review is my own opinion, this author is one that I love to read her books.
Loved it! I have been anxious to learn more about Delacroix since the moment he showed up. There was much more to him the I ever expected. Mika has closed herself off to love. But when she meets Marc, she soon realizes he is her True Mate. This changes things. Watching the relationship grow was wonderful. Once again, the story answers many questions, but raises new ones. The war with the mages is still going strong. Twists and turns and loads of action. This series just keeps getting better. Not a cliffhanger, but Ms. Montgomery dropped something huge at the end. The wait for the next book will be difficult. This is my honest opinion of an advanced copy I received.
Delacroix and Mika Since the first generation, the first book, where it all began with Alex and Alynna, I have been waiting for this. Mika was the first born of a true mate pairing and I desperately needed to see her get her HEA.
Mika is a tough cookie. She’s been through some stuff, suffered a great loss that some can’t recover from and it sort of seems that she’s hanging on by a thread. She doesn’t believe that she’s ever going to be as happy as she once was.
Here enters Delacroix, and let me tell you it is not love at first sight. Neither of them will allow themselves that. Delacroix has also been handed a bad hand and suffers because of it.
In the end they discover that they can be happy together and it’s truly magical
I truly recommend this book. The build up of something wicked has me coming back for more. I need more true mates and I need them to destroy the evil for good, but before that happens I would like lots more love stories, I’m sappy like that.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book
This book, is entertaining, action packed, filled with intrigue, and thoroughly enjoyable. The chemistry between the characters of Mika and Marc is wonderful. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Wow! I loved this twist on the True Mates phenomenon!
After the death of her beloved husband, Mika is not looking for true love again. But she would love to have a child of her own. So when she runs into the one man she absolutely does NOT want but who just happens to be her True Mate, she wrestles with the knowledge that he’s the only one who can give her what she wants. The problem is, how does she get the baby without keeping the mate?
Marc is a recent transplant to New York, and he has no interest in sacrificing for their war against the Mages. He’s just there to repay Vrost for getting him out of his former clan, then he’s moving on to where he only has to worry about himself. He has no knowledge of the True Mates phenomenon, what it means for him or for his mate, or how it’s going to change the entire trajectory of his life.
I loved all the layers of history wrapped up in this beautiful story. Both Mika and Marc have a lot of baggage they need to sort through before they can figure out how to be there for each other, but in the meantime the scintillating (almost) hate sex keeps the romance going. All of the True Mates books have so much more going on than just the main romance, and I love the way that each book expands the fictional world and enriches the entire fundamental history at the same time.
As always, we get a beautiful HEA for the couple, significant development of the ongoing story arc, and a teasing glimpse into the next installment of this enthralling series. This is my favorite shifter series of all time, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Very interesting storyline. Loved Delacroix and Mika. They both have plenty to work through and you combine that with the twists and turns you will be engaged in the story from the first page to the last. Enjoyed the humor, interaction between the characters and supporting characters, heat, heart, and we’ll just the whole book. Definitely recommend reading. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
I continue to love the True Mate series. Mika and Marc’s love story could only be described as tumultuous. At first, you have to wonder how they are going to get past this antagonistic attraction. They both had very good reasons to not want to want someone. Watching them decide that They were not just two people responding to biology was very exciting.
We get more information on the battle with the mages. And once again, I can’t wait for the next.
I voluntarily received an ARC copy. I am so glad I did. This story delves into Mika and Marc’s lives. I love that we finally find out his background as well as hers. This book steps away from the mages a little bit. They are still present but Alicia Montgomery really lays the groundwork here for later books to get into solving the Mage issue.
I devoured this book in one sitting. It doesn’t lag/sag in spots. To the opposite, I felt it could have had a little more depth added to the 3 month “fast forward” part. And the cliff hanger nugget (NOT related to the HEA ending of our main characters) has me pining for the next book! Read it. You won’t regret it!
Shadow Wolf: True Mates Generations Book 7 is an awesome read.engaging,intense,steamy with a roller coaster ride of emotion filled with drama,surprises specially in the end,wow!!! i cannot wait for the next book!! a romance story of Marc and Mika that will keep you on edge and entertained while reading,great series,loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
The fight against mages grows in each book in this series, as well as the number of characters and family members! So much to keep track of, and I admire the people who figure things out ahead of time or remember all the details for future books. That so isn’t me but I love the journey and am always surprised. Another thing, if you’re like me, meaning not usually a big reader of paranormal and shifter stuff, Alicia Montgomery writes such good stories that it doesn’t matter what you normally read. They’re just that good, and interesting.
Anyways….I didn’t necessarily like Mika at first. I actually didn’t love how either her or Delacroix treated one another. And she seemed kind of emotionally shut off, though I understand why. And he was like pushy and cocky! They grew on me while they grew on one another, I guess. By the end I loved the way they treated each other like a team, and with respect and devotion. My favorite parts of this book happened in the second half, where the action really hits and where we find out more about Delacroix and his past. Now of course I’m so ready for the next story. PS I don’t really recommend reading this before the rest of the series. You’d miss so much!
Mika and Delacroix seem to be an odd combination but true mates are meant to be. I love how they try to resist but eventually they have to give in and admit that they need their mate. Like the other books in this series there is heartbreak, suspense, steamy moments and happy endings, and the ending leaves you wanting more. This book answers the questions about where Delacroix came from and how he got his powers but it opens so many more questions. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I voluntarily read this ARC copy and giving a honest review. Marc Delacroix came from Louisiana and was an orphan. He couldn’t find anything about his parents. His alpha was very bad cold so he finally ran away and went to New York clan.Mika was married to a Human and they had a wreck and he xied. She walked into the meeting g and Marc he was attracted but no body to.him anything about fated mates He finds out she was the first baby from fated mates. He was wanting to become line wolf till he sees her. A friends exp!ain about fated mates and he realized they were. They go to Louisiana and he finds some of his mother’s family. They work together the deal with his evil alpha
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. This series is just amazing. Although or rather because it’s about 20 or so books long and already in the next generation it’s suspensful and thrilling every time. Though, I have to say I’m sometimes loosing track with all the characters and remembering who belongs to whom… Anyway, Mika is grieving the loss of her husband for two years now and Marc seems just like the right one to give her what she dearly wants. Just because he’s her True Mate. A concept he is not familiar with. A very good story that fits perfectly into the NY Clan and their fight against the mages. Though, the latter didn’t have quite a part in this one – makes me wonder whether they’ll strike within the next story. Very amazing story.
