Lizette Butler has the only thing she ever wanted—freedom from her pack Alpha, Maxime Simard, and the ability to decide her own fate. She and Max have a turbulent history and a powerful—if unwilling—attraction. Unfortunately, mere distance can’t stop the past from crashing back in to disrupt her life. Nor can it stop the rush of desire that overwhelms her the minute she sees him again. Her body … body may crave his physical seductions, but her heart will never let her love him.
As leader of the New York territory, Max has everything—wealth, power, and an army of wolves ready to jump at his command. But a mistake he made five years ago may have cost him the only thing worth living for: Lizette. He also knows something Lizette doesn’t—she possesses a rare ability that makes her a target and a prize.
Max can command Lizette to return to the pack, but he can’t command her trust…or her love. And if he can’t heal the rift between them, he may lose her forever.

OUTSTANDING! I really wish I could go above 5 stars because this book truly deserves it. From the moment the story begins it captures your attention and just doesn’t let up. It’s as if the Alpha’s control extended outside of the pages of the book. This story was original which I found refreshing and it was easy to follow while still containing so much excitement to keep the story interesting from start to finish. The main characters Lizette and Maxime are my new favorite power couple. The connection between these two is so intense and their passion…it will leave you feeling like you are on fire! Everything from the character development to the plot was very well written I could swear I was living in this book. I really enjoyed this author’s writing style and I have already picked up book 2. An excellent shifter romance I highly recommend to everyone looking for their next great read!
Lizette (hoping I am spelling it right it’s audio) has been tossed around from home to home after the death of her parents and then when her fosters gave her to the wolf pack. After some events the alpha agrees to let her go to college and have her own life. Five years later she’s angry as can be when 5 hunters show up to bring her home. Don’t worry I didn’t give anything away. That’s the just the beginning. This books was engaging and pretty faced paced. Alot is happening both in the present and through flashbacks. The characters are lovable, well mostly and though I feel like the narrator did good it was a bit hard to keep her characters straight other then Max because he spoke in a French/English mix. There’s emotional turmoil both from the normal alpha feelings and the broken soul who isn’t sure of her place. The ending end isn’t a cliffhanger but you feel like there’s more to be said. The love story is complete but the over all story is not. I enjoyed it enough to add the next one to my TBR pile!
What a Wolf Desires is the first of four books in the Lux Catena Series (werewolf shifters). This was Pennza’s first book she ever wrote – and I cannot believe it. She has more talent for writing then most people probably have in their pinky!
The story is very well written, the characters are well developed and the storyline is a little different than I expected having read other shifter stories.
Pennza had a fun twist to Lizette and Maxime’s shifter-story. She teases these two characters very well and then when you find out just how deep their history is, you simply cannot put it down.
This is a great paranormal/shifter book. There are a few unique parts in this shifter world that keeps you entertained as well as some twists you don’t see but are very happy to see how they turn out. I loved listening to this book and am going to dive right into the next!
This is a enjoyable story. I liked the characters and the beginning really drew me in. I kept wondering what was going to happen and why. Then the characters kept me engaged for the rest of the story.
I am a lover of the wolf shifter stories and I picked this up because I have book two to read. It was worth it. Gives me insight into the pack. Including Remy and Lizette’s relationship.
This story really made me feel for Max. How strong he is and patient. He really came full circle. Lizette drew me in then after a bit I felt (which I understood) she was just holding out. It seemed then all of a sudden she had a light bulb moment and things changed. Max started to become lighter. Which I liked.
Remy and Dom were good secondary characters. This showed a little of their unknown problem but how they work well with their Alpha for the good of the pack.
This is a first time author for me. As I said I love shifter stories so I’m not sure why I haven’t read this series before. I will be heading off for book 2 tomorrow.
First book I have read by this author. Great start to series. Hot alpha,beta’s and other pack members. Lizettee was raised as human till she was 15 then went to live with Max and his pack when she found out that she was more than human. Great storyline,sexy parts are great,betrayal in the ranks.
Great read!
