Troy fights fires for a living… but the hot fire of a cool scientist is nothing short of magic. Troy Hartman is a firefighter and EMT who fought his way out of the shifter gangs as a kid. He’s been watching the Wilding family in the news as they battle the Wolf Hunter, and he’s been itching to join the cause. When the Wilding research facility gets firebombed, he’s first on the scene… and first … and first to rescue a beautiful blue-eyed white wolf.
Only this is no ordinary shifter.
Zoe Wilding is a genetic researcher with a secret she’d rather not have, but with Agent Smith’s immorally-acquired experimental data on shifters, that may change. If she can just isolate the gene that expresses her dangerous white wolf, she’ll finally have a normal life. One that might include a man, if not a mate.
Then her lab blows up.
All five of the Wilding families have now been targeted by the Wolf Hunter, and the entire cadre of white wolves—Grace, Noah, Kaden, Owen, and now Zoe—have joined together to find him. Troy’s all-in with Daniel Wilding for the hunt, but the closer Troy gets to Zoe, the more his wolf wants her… only she’s hell-bent on destroying the magic inside her. Can he win over this gorgeous girl and get her to accept the beauty of her inner wolf… or will finding the Wolf Hunter destroy the wild fire inside the woman he’s starting to love?
WILD FIRE is a complete novel with HEA, the fifth in the Wilding Pack Wolves series. All stories are standalone, but for maximum reader enjoyment, start with the Riverwise Private Security trilogy. Contains scorching hot shifters, alpha heroes, and sexy witches.

Love this book enjoy it from the beginning to the ending
This is the one I’ve been waiting for! The bad guy is finally revealed and dealt with – but wow, are there revelations and shocks in store for fans of the series.
The title is very apropos but I’m not going to share why. That’d be telling. Zoe and Troy are the couple in Wild Fire and once again, Ms. Woods’ storytelling finesse is in full force.
Believe it or not, Zoe’s conflict is parallel to the villain’s, except she was following a more helpful and healthy path, sort of, but the bad guy’s path was darkness personified – or he was just plain crazy. Readers can decide for themselves but I guarantee they’ll all agree that he was written as a perfect picture of evil.
My first impression of Troy, the hero, is that he is …. cute. Like, earnest, happy puppy cute. But there is nothing truly puppyish about Troy. He’s a firefighter – valiant, brave and sincere in his quest to join in and offer anything he could to help catch the bad guy. The interesting difference between the hero of Wild Fire versus the heroes in the previous books is that even though he is his own man and alpha, I got the impression that his character is off to the side to let Zoe take most of center stage. It’s not a bad thing because from my perspective, Zoe has a ton of personal life-changing decisions to make that directly affect the outcome of the plot. Her character is strong, but then she does come from the Wilding family so it makes total sense.
The one big shock is epic in its effect. Again, I’m not going to go any farther because there is no way I want to spoil the fun. Yes, the revelation pours jet fuel onto the plot’s momentum, and the storytelling provides chills and thrills, excitement and reasons to cheer for not only Zoe and Troy, but all of the wolf packs I’ve come to know and adore.
Through it all, Zoe finds herself unable to resist the passion she finds with Troy. She tries, oh boy does she try, but Troy is patient, determined and in love. An alpha in love is not a force to be thwarted so the HEA is inevitable. It’s the getting there that’s half the fun. I’d say the lovemaking scenes were pretty darned hot because the bedroom door is wide open. They were well placed and well written so they enhanced the story and the romance.
There is a sub-romance going on in the background and I was surprised that the author didn’t save that story for another book because the undertones were strong. When I finally reached the end of Wild Fire, I saw that there IS another story, a novella for Daniel’s romance. I’m thrilled because what I saw in this novel was compelling and looked positively fun. Guess what I’m going to read next?
Wild Fire wrapped up with another satisfying happy ever after with all the threads coming together. The bad guy was finally whipped, the shifter world is safe, and love is in the air. Excuse the pun, but this was a WILD RIDE! I’m extremely happy that I discovered this series. It was time well spent and I enjoyed every moment. I don’t just recommend this book, I recommend the whole series!
Explosive, Fire Hot Read!
Explosions, Fire, Science, and Hot Shifters! Science nerds and red hot firefighters make a great couple. Multiple HEA within. A old mystery and curse solved. Wonderful conclusion to the series. I love the tie ins to other series. I can’t wait to read where Ms. Woods go next! I absolutely love all of Ms. Woods complete intertwining worlds and well written books.
Another good book in the series! Troy & Zoe are so sweet & likable, you just hope they can sort things out as the story flows. The story held my interest & Troy & Zoe get a he HEA. What more could you want! The wolf hunter got what he deserved, the wolves & witches are not in danger now, great ending to a series.
Keeps you reading!
Great books
Zoe Wilding has a very deep dark secret she has managed to hide her entire life until the Wolf Hunter targeted her lab with a fire bomb. After the explosion, right when she didn’t think she would make, an angel walks in to save her. There is another explosion and her angel is now the first person to know her secret.
Noah is a shifter fireman who has gone into the still exploding lavatory and finds a very naked and burnt Zoe! He is not sure what it is about her, but decides he doesn’t want to be away from her and wants to help in the search for the Wolf Hunter. So now he will join her in going to the Rivers Estate.
With Noah, Zoe finds the courage to tell her family her secret. Discovers she is crazy powerful and there is more to being a wolf then she thought. She doesn’t understand her connection with Noah but there is enough for her to give him a very special gift.
I love the ending and how they come together. I love the characters and can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Happy Reading!
Wild Fire is the last book in the series about the Wilding Pack Wolves and brings Zoe Wilding and Troy Hartman together with a blast that blows up her genetics lab and Troy comes to her rescue. The Wolf Hunter is still hunting wolves and the Wilding Pack in particular for their white wolf DNA, which makes their magic part wolf and part witch’s magic.
The conclusion is dramatic, satisfying and brings an end to the threat to all wolves. A surprise appearance by the original white wolf also adds an element to the story that explains how it all started.
This is an awesome series and a great addition to the first series I read about the Riverside Pack.
