WOLF'S ASCENSION is Book 1 in Lauren Dane's Cherchez
Wolf Pack series. WOLF'S ASCENSION has all the earthy
eroticism you love and would expect from any Lauren Dane
novel, with a paranormal twist. The beginning of WOLF'S
ASCENSION is like something out of The Twilight Zone from
the point-of-view of the heroine. She is attacked by a
wild animal and wakes up one day to find that, instead of
being in a normal hospital, she is essentially held
prisoner by these strangers spouting talk of werewolves
and trying to get her to join them. Kari Warner goes
through a lot of emotions and changes over the course of
WOLF'S ASCENSION—some scarier than others. I like the
transition Lauren Dane makes from panic-infused tale of
the bizarre to hot and heavy paranormal romance.
Andreas Phinney is a delectable blonde werewolf Adonis.
In spite of his high-handed behavior in appropriating
Kari, his gentleness he displays whenever she's around
him both charms and confuses her. I love Andreas's mix of
powerful leader and passionate yet gentle lover. Lauren
Dane succeeds at creating a romance that fuses an
uninhibited and intense love affair with an enduring
commitment. There is a definite learning curve in their
relationship and it evolves over the course of WOLF'S
ASCENSION. One of the most seductive things about Andreas
and his pack, for Kari, is the sense of family and
belonging they offer.
There are two sources of conflict in WOLF'S ASCENSION:
Kari's constant need to assert herself within the pack
when it comes to Andreas's former lovers and a mysterious
adversary who wants to harm Kari. Kari's occasional self-
doubt makes sense
to me, since she is in an unfamiliar
situation with a new social group. I think Lauren Dane
does a great job of having Kari grow over the course of
the book and gain the confidence she needs. I also like
that Andreas and the other members of his inner circle do
the best they can to reassure her. The level of loving
family support also helps as everyone works together to
catch the hidden enemy. The supporting characters are
terrific, and I enjoyed following their individual stories
and greatly look forward to reading more about other
characters in future books. The sense of danger increases
as the story progresses leading up to a thrilling battle
at the end.
WOLF'S ASCENSION is paranormal perfection—with a sexy
alpha werewolf who worships his queen, and a fast-paced
story full of mystery and suspense. The high energy
action is engaging without obscuring the romance. You
will fall in love with these characters. I eagerly await
the next installment in this Cherchez Wolf Pack
romance
by Lauren Dane.
Attacked by werewolves. Mated to the Alpha. Declared a
queen. Kari is having an unusual day.
In the Cherchez wolf pack, loyalty is earned, not given.
For Andreas, the pull he feels toward Kari cannot be
ignored, a physical bond immediate and unbreakable—though
Andreas wants to win Kari's heart as well as her body.
But someone isn't happy about his new mate, and Kari's
just beginning to trust him and the pack when attempted
murder threatens their newfound happiness.
Andreas brings out the deepest hunger in Kari, a sexy,
passionate side of herself she never knew was there. And
her new life as werewolf queen is turning out to be
surprisingly emotional in other ways, as well. The bond
she feels with Andreas extends to the others in the pack—
others she's now bound to defend.
And as the pack's enemies are about to discover, Kari
will do anything to protect her new family.
