He conquered her. Now he will claim her.When Rowan inherited control of her pack upon her father’s death, she vowed never to marry, and many a suitor has since been sent home disappointed. But Alaric of Ravenscar is no suitor…He is a warlord, never defeated in battle, and he has come to take what he wants. He means to conquer not just Rowan’s lands, but her beautiful virgin body as well, and … virgin body as well, and her efforts to defy him merely result in her being mounted and claimed with her well-spanked bare bottom still burning.
Soon Alaric will mark her as his mate, but first she will be thoroughly and shamefully mastered.

Fantastic
Warlord…
Well, it’s official. Even in the future men have problems with a woman being in charge. The fact that said woman is a strong shifter who keeps sending men back in defeat doesn’t matter. They refuse to let her lead. Time to send in the Warlord. What will happen when they realize that they are true mates? Can two headstrong shifters find a way to coexist and lead? I suggest you read Rowan and Aliric’s story to find out.

Oh my, this book promises and delivers in a most fantastical way…as I knew it would. The author’s books always draw me into the book as if I’m actually there as part of the scene in the book. This book is post-apocalyptic offshoot from the Wayward Mates series which features the clan Calon Onest in Wales. Rowan is a warrior and a female alpha in charge of her clan at Calon Onest and doesn’t need a man to rule her life. Alaric is a warlord who was given Calon Onest by the Ruling Council because they would prefer a male alpha in charge of the clan at Calon Onest. I loved Rowan’s strength and her refusal to obey hierarchy b.s. and wish Alaric luck..he’s going to need it!
Fingers-crossed that there is continuation with Rowan’s sister, Arielle and Alaric’s brother, Gareth!

******UPDATE Audio Version – 15 Nov 19******
I listened to the audio book of this story. I thought that the narration was well done. I also think the narration served to intensify the conflict, the battles, the sexual tension, and the spankings.
I voluntarily listened to and reviewed the Audiobook received from the author.
******READ – 05 August 19******
This book is almost a continuation of the Wayward Mates series, but in the future. The twist in the book is that the future is more of a return to the past.
Once again, we get a strong, intelligent, independent, alpha female wolf in Rowan. Alaric, the warlord, is the dominant alpha who is determined to have his fated mate submit to him. Alaric and Rowan have off the charts chemistry in their matching of wits, their designing battle plans, and their sexual tension.
The shifter part of the book didn’t take a backseat, but the action of defending Calon Onest was strongly at the forefront. Another book that was hard to put down. Actually, I didn’t, I just read until the wee hours of the morning until I finished the book.
I am so hoping that Gareth, Tristan, Sloan, and Arielle, to name a few, get their own books. If spanking and intense sex scenes offend you, I would suggest you take a pass on this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy received from the author.
Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Rowan is alpha after her father died, men have tried to take the alpha position but Rowan won every time. Alaric wants to be the alpha, Rowan is his fated mate he treats her poorly in front of her men and his and his men can disrespect her.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

This is one of my favorite genres, wolf shifters, and this author never disappoints. We see a female alpha running a pack and the Ruling Council doesn’t like or accept this as they believe women should be mates and only males should lead a pack and fight. The author always likes to write a strong, feisty female lead and this story is not different. Can Alaric convince Rowan to submit to him and be his mate or shall she and her pack send these wolves running with their tales between their legs? The plot includes a lot of action with some romance/steam along with domestic discipline.

In this new series that the author has started, we are with the werewolves from the Wayward Mates series. This is set in the future where a plague has gone through the world and has reverted to medieval times.
Rowan is the alpha of Calon Onest. As a female, her pack is happy with her, but the rest of the wolf packs are not. After she kills the envoys from the council, they send Alaric, the warlord. Alaric is more than happy to go as he is looking for a place to settle down with his troops. On the way, he discovers that Rowan is his fated mate and that changes his plans somewhat. Of course, he tames Rowan, but the fun is the way it happens.
I highly recommend this book. I loved it and am looking forward to at least two more books in the series with Arielle and Sloan.
A well written story with spankings, a headstrong woman and the man that takes her as his. I hope this is going to be a series as I want more like this one. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! An amazing must read!
I loved this book with a little history being brought back to life as the characters are a mixture of new bringing back some old ideas and life style. I loved how well the alpha couple’s chemistry was off the charts steamy. The storyline flowed smoothly and kept me entertained from start to finish. This author does not disappoint she always delivers something new.

Captivated!
A plague had destroyed the world as we know it now there are small bands of humans and would you believed wolf shifters. So yes we have a paranormal goodie to enjoy. Ms. James has written a piece with strong characters and plot with super twists and interactions. This was entertaining from start to finish with enough action and romance for anyone. You really should check this one out it was great. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
I was totally enthralled by this fantastic shifter romance with some “deliciously” dark undertones, it certainly kept my attention until the last page was turned. It has a well-paced story-line & a strong plot filled with unexpected occurrences & events. The characters are strong-willed individuals with unique personalities & one of them discover that the line between love & hate is becoming blurred & display determination and/or defiance to avoid the inevitable future. There is good support from the secondary characters.
It is about: a capable alpha female (Rowan) has been leading a strong shifter pack for five years but the shifter council is not happy with this & negotiates with a alpha male mercenary/warlord (Alaric of Ravenscar) & his pack to claim Calon Onest where Rowan & her pack reside.
There is: wolf shifters, humans, friendship, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, drama, adventure, action, premonitions, challenges, devious plans, attraction, fated mates, manipulations, domination/submission, ultimatums, discipline, betrayal, anguish, emotional turmoil, threats, coercion, escape attempts, spankings, humiliation, invasion, a battle, steamy scenes, contentment & a well-deserved happy conclusion.
I would recommend this shifter romance to people who enjoy reading this genre.
Rowan became pack Alpha at the death of her father. She ha.do been raised to be Alpha as no son were born. For 5 years she has lead her pack in battle, keeping them safe and prosperous. She vows to stay Alpha and never take a mate.
Alaric a 2nd son, Warlord and mercenary, has decided to become Alpha of Calon Onest, by marring Rowan younger sister and befriending the pack. When he sees Rowan for the first time he knows she is his fated mate.
Join the war of 2 alphas who both want the same pack.
You will love this story, Delta has done it again. I hope the is more to follow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. These Series that Delta writes with the wolves are the best, i just love the men and their delicious knotting and matting. The females are excellent even though they are usually sassy and love to get their own way…. occasionally. These two are fated to be mated, Rowan will give her best not to stay and will try and run, but lol we all know that mates who try to run get punished.
Rowan is female Alpha of Calon Onest, she has a couple of problems, one she keeps on dreaming of a man saying he is her mate and he is coming for her and the other the Council keeps on sending men that want her keep. But she will send one mans head back as an example of what will happen. So the council will send Alaric, a warlord to Calon Onest. Little do they know he already had plans to go there and Claim it as his.
Rowan agrees to meet Alaric, as most of the villages think they are great, but on seeing him she reconises his as the man in his dreams. She tries to run, but dosnt get far she is put over his knee and spanked, she surrenders to his claim. But she will try again before times out… her people have deserted her so she thinks.
I really enjoyed reading this Delta is one Author who totally rocks, her books are sexy and come with Alpha Dominated males who know how to handle their mates.
Rowan was trained to be a warrior by her father and she is the alpha of her pack. The Council doesn’t like the fact that a woman is the alpha and want a male to take over. The ones they send are sent back to the Council. One on the Council decides to get a warrior to get rid of Rowan and take over the pack. Lord Alaric goes to take over the pack and take Rowans sister as his mate. When he arrives he realizes that Rowan is his mate and goes about getting her. Rowan doesn’t want a man and feels she can continue to be alpha of the pack. Alaric will show her the error of her thinking. A very hot and steamy story.

Warlord is a darker read, with non-consensual punishments, so reader caution is advised. It is set in a dystopian future, the same one as Virgin Tribute but this is set in the UK and focuses on wolf shifters. There are also links to the Wayward Mates series, though you absolutely don’t need to have read any other books to enjoy this one.
I really enjoyed this book, since the setting is dystopian/paranormal I can let go of societal norms and accept the patriarchal structure of the society. My modern brain doesn’t always agree with it but since the fiction isn’t mimicking ‘real life’ it is something I can live with.
I adored Rowan, she is a feisty no nonsense heroine, raised to be a warrior and unwilling to bow to any man. Alaric is all alpha and determined to master his naughty mate. He is prepared to deliver non-consensual spankings and beltings when he feels she has misbehaved, and doesn’t mind displaying Rowan’s punished behind to his men. Conversely he also holds her in high esteem and takes great care to otherwise ensure her comfort and happiness.
Two such strong and powerful alphas are bound to clash, and their passion is scorching hot. I’m not really sure how Delta James managed it but she took me from wanting Rowan to kick Alaric’s butt, to being pleased with the relationship that unfolded.
The story flows smoothly, the plot and pace combining perfectly to hold my attention throughout. By the end, I not only liked but also respected both main characters. I’m also hoping that we might get both Sloan and Arielle’s stories sometime in the future. If you enjoyed either the Wayward Mates series, Virgin Tribute, or like darker edged domestic discipline books, then I am only to happy to recommend this book to you.
Alaric is all Alpha but, so is Rowan…
Delta Burke has created a wonderful, colorful, vibrant world in which a she-wolf can be Alpha and hold her land and keep her people safe. But when Alaric comes he finds Rowan is his mate and he marvels at her drive and strength and does his best to bend her to his will without breaking her. Alaric is as macho as an alpha male can be but he takes care not to wound Rowan while he assumes the role of Alpha and leader of the pack. This story spoke with heart about redefining your place and embracing what destiny brings you. I can’t wait to read more stories like this.

“Warlord:A Dark Shifter Romance” name-checks characters and locations from the author’s “Wayward Mates” wolf shifter series, and frames itself as a future post-apocalyptic continuation, in which modern technology has been lost, the shifters are at the top of the social hierarchy, and that somehow has taken on medieval language and culture. That’s sort of weird (well, weirder than the entire premise of shapeshifters), and as I was reading I just chose to see it as an alternate universe take on the “Wayward Mates” universe.
“Warlord” seems to have the makings of a reboot/re-envisioning of “Wayward Mates”, with this first volume quite similar in the romantic dynamics of “Wayward Mates” initial entry, “Brought to Heel”. I’m fine with that. I know what I’m getting with Delta James (spanking!!) and I got it here, too, in generous fashion. So…spanking, hot alpha male wolves (that spank!), spirited female wolves that aren’t afraid to challenged their mates (and get spanked for it!), hot alpha sex knots, some butt stuff, and…more spanking! Then a little added medieval overlay to it (with even more spanking!)
I’m in for the next volume, which I must beg the author to include the solitary human Sloan…with Tristan? I can hope, and failing that I can ship. (You don’t want me shipping your stuff, Delta. Heed me on that.)
I was sad when the Wayward Mates series ended, but was hopeful with the ending in the last book for a future spin-off series in that world and it looks like Ms. James delivered Christmas early . Though it isn’t started directly, it is alluded to several times, this series seems to be set in the future but in a time after the collapse of civilization. Shifters are the dominate species now and the world seems to have reverted to a time like the 16 &1700’s (people ride horses, feudal lords, castles, etc). Ms. James still has the great world-building and dominate alphas that drive you to frustration while driving squirm in your seat with the naughty things they do, so have no fear. This new series, I can tell as some potential. The ending makes you think . . . was Gareth talking about Sloan or Rowan??
