Wonderful written wolf shifter story that I enjoyed reading and reviewing. From the first chapter you get how close the brothers are while they were camping celebrating Brighton’s Master’s degree and thru their time at the hospital while Christopher, a small town sporting goods store owner who struggles after being bitten by a wolf in the cave and then Libby is introduced. Libby, nurse in a small town hospital sees Christopher wheeled in to emergency and is strangely drawn to him. When Libby was younger her father disappeared and her mother got into a car crash and is confined in a wheelchair. When she looks outside thru the windows toward the forest she feels something is watching her. When Christopher is released from the hospital, Libby volunteers her guest house. During his stay the romance blossoms along with Christopher discovering he can shift to a wolf along other things. Will their romance survive? A touchily shifter story I could not put down till the final page. I can not wait for the story about the other brothers Eric and Brighton.

This was a good premise for a story.?Both Christian and Libby were well defined in their environments.
The only dislike I have is that it was very wordy. I found myself skipping at times.
I look forward to seeing other books by this author.
I received this arc for an honest
I received an ARC copy of his book directly from the author, Renee Carr. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written. I found her portrayal of Christian and his relationship his brothers was true to life. I particularly liked the way that Christian’s becoming a shifter was written. The development of the relationship between Christian and Libby was endearing. I loved their instant connection. I was unable to put the book down. It was a real page turner. The surprising twist at the end was phenomenal. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series to see each brother’s transformation.
A great book. This was a wonderful story between Christian and Libby. They have such a wonderful connection. This was another storyline with shifters and I love how each author has their own way of writing they story.

This book sucks you in from the beginning. Believable characters that suck you in and a story line that keeps you guessing on what’s going to happen next. I totally enjoyed this book!

Christian is out camping with his brothers and goes off walking one morning in the forest and finds a cave. He goes in there and sees a wolf who seemed to be scared and injured. Christian approaches the wolf but the wolf bites him and runs away. Christian stumbles to the camp site where his brothers help him and take him to the hospital and there he meets Libby.
Libby is a nurse who lost her father several years ago in the forest and there was no trace of him. Somehow she knows he is still out there. She has been looking after her mother who had a car accident shortly after her husband disappeared. She was left in a wheelchair.
Libby is attracted to Christian and after he is well enough to leave the hospital, she is able to take him home so she can watch over him. Then one night Christian suddenly turns into a wolf. At first she is scared but realises that he won’t hurt her. Christian tells her he needs to find answers about his new ability. So he goes back to the place where it all began for him.
Things change for them all, especially while Christian learns about being a wolf shifter. The wolf who accidentally changed him is teaching him how to control his wolf and learning how to fight. The story is starting to unfold and Libby finds her father and Christian and Libby start their own lives together, there are more things to learn and more wolf shifters are on the move. Things will come to light in the future book in this fabulous new series.

I found this story to be cute.
I had some troubles when starting, but the story developed nicely and main characters slowly grew on me.
Regarding the story:
It was really refreshing reading something different in the shifter romance genre. With the focus on MCs trying to figure things out and learning about themselves.
I was also fond of Ms. Carr’s perspective on shifters. So I look forward to new stories in the series to see where they take us
However I wasn’t particularly fond of the fact that FMC can’t stick to her background story.
Exciting story with interesting characters. Really enjoyed reading this book. Every author has a different perspective on shifters. This one kept my interest.

I loved the concept of having shifter dna and not just finding a mate. I enjoyed the characters, I didn’t feel like the conversation was jilting their connections felt genuine. I’m excited to see what happens to the other brothers.
A refreshingly new slant on a shifter romance. The story takes you through the turbulence of physical and emotional pain of becoming a shifter when also trying to navigate a new relationship. It has enough suspense and action to keep us captivated and gives us that happy ending we all crave.
The characters are refreshing ‘every day’ people and easy to relate to.
A nice, enjoyable easy read.
The main story line I loved and the beginning really drew me in and the characters were really relatable. Once Christian was bit it felt like the story line was really rushed and some things were unrealistic even for a paranormal romance. Christian walking right up to the wolf and Libby telling her boss that she was taking a patient home and no one had an issue with it drove me crazy. I really wish that there was more development/ build up with the story.
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!
