The Enforcers are basically chasing their tails. The
Volchitsa (Russian) Wolves attacks seem indiscriminate,
but even one attack is too many.
John Nelson has been doing double his usual work when it
comes to his Lone Wolves. Rules are very strict for wolves
that do not stay with their pack and an Enforcer will keep
them on the straight and narrow. Now with the random and
vicious attacks on Alpha's mates and families, the
Enforcers were told to round up their lone wolves and get
them to safety, but that just might not be the best idea.
Hadley Sexton is an enforcer who has her lone wolves safely
in an old lodge but besides the tension that is normal with
wolves that don't like to be near each other, Hadley is
worried. The world around them has gone crazy and survival
is uppermost in all their minds.
I have to say that THUNDER WOLF is fantastic. I have
followed this series from book 1 and have been anxiously
waiting for the next one. The way these books are written
you become caught up in the lives of these characters and
want to know what happens to them next. I have noticed that
with the last book (Shadow Wolf) and this one the
Enforcer's are fleshed out more. They are less the
boogeymen and more real, though perhaps just as frightening
because well ... they are boogeymen.
THUNDER WOLF is steamy, sweet, tense and funny as well as
filled with action, some hits of sadness and heartbreak as
the Volchitsa attack at different fronts. But, of course,
the main story is getting to know John and Hadley and
watching as they finally figure out that they are perfect
mates. Hadley is a mother hen type of Enforcer, stretching
the rules a little for her charges while John had seemed
more by the rules. His one weakness is ... Hadley. Though
they had been only friends he would do anything to protect
her and when he finds she is in danger he will disobey the
chief and head to her side.
Wait a minute ... Enforcers are pretty much considered Lone
Wolfs? I see an interesting twist coming for the future of
this fascinating couple and the fate of other Enforcers. I
also enjoyed getting to know a little more about Julian and
find out he does indeed have a weakness. It has been hinted
at in other books, but you will have to read to find out
what I am talking about. The Wolves of Willow Bend is an
amazing series with Alphas, mates, healers, omegas and
those who protect and serve. Love shifters ... look for
THUNDER WOLF.
Most Lone Wolves have a story—a pack they left behind, a
love they lost, or worse, one they buried. Some leave their
packs to roam because they crave freedom, and independence.
Some leave because in their hearts, they can’t bear to
stay. Some leave because they see no way to go back…
Enforcer John Nelson has pulled double duty for months,
keeping an eye on the Lone Wolves who are his charges as
well as those that once answered to Margo Montgomery. More
of a loner than most, he doesn’t mind going months at a
time without seeing another Enforcer as was his typical
pattern or at least it was until the formation of the Three
Rivers pack disrupted lives everywhere. Now he must divide
his time between watching the upstarts and checking on his
charges while working with the other Enforcers to
anticipate the next move by the Russian Volchitsa. No En
Enforcer expected to find themselves among the hunted, but
when they target the one wolf he can tolerate, John defies
orders to go after her.
Hadley Sexton is a bit of a wild card even for an Enforcer,
and she loves being unpredictable. More of a mother hen
than she likes to admit, she keeps an eye on her Lone
Wolves, and treats them more like family than charges…but
when three Enforcers are brutally murdered over the course
of three weeks, Hadley discovers someone has been shadowing
her trail and they aren’t alone. It is a dangerous game
with a brutal enemy, one willing to kill the wolves she’s
sworn to protect to draw her out.
For Hadley, John will break every rule, but will he be in
time?
