Wolf King

Wolves of New York, Book 1

De: Bella Jacobs

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Lili Valente

Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He’s also my only hope.

As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who’s just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don’t have a lot of options in this city.

I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil.

But that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. I have an ace up my sleeve, a bargaining chip Maxim can’t resist. He wants revenge on my pack leaders for poisoning his father, and I hold the key to his enemy’s destruction.

In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants—me.

I expect honoring the bargain to be pure hell. I don’t expect to ignite every time we touch or to develop a soft spot for this wounded wolf. His blood calls to mine, and I’m starting to think this wicked king may have a heart after all.

But is there room in his world for love? Or am I destined to become a pawn in his dark game?

*This is book one in a quartet. It ends in a cliffhanger.

Steamy Shifter Romantic Suspense

Paranormal reads are some of my favorites, although I will admit that shifters can be a bit of a hit or miss for me. Leave it to author Bella Jacobs to write a shifter romance that hits all the marks, and leaves me wanting more.

WOLF KING, the first book in the Wolves of New York series, is chock-full of intrigue, suspense, and some super-steamy alpha style romance, and I was not disappointed. Maxim Thorn's and Willow Astor's initial oil and water differences quickly morph into one hecka hot 'who's the alpha now' back and forth, and it was all the witty, sexy goodness that I've come to know and expect from Bella.

Now, full disclaimer, this is the first book of three in a series, so, yes, it is a little bit cliffy. Do not, however, let that discourage you, because, if you're a fan of the PNR and shifter worlds, you're not going to want to wait, so I encourage you to dive right in. Books 2 and 3 will be here before you know it, and in the meantime you get to fall in love with Maxim, Willow, and their world right away.

Also, can we just talk about the freaking sexy as sin narration of this book? Lili Valente and Jason Clarke have perfectly captured Willow and Maxim, and listening to the audio of this book is a serious treat for the ears. Talk about aural pleasure, this audio will hit you in all the right places, and is not to be missed.. So go on, take a walk on the wolf side. You will not be sorry! ❤️

I couldn't put this one down!

It had me on the edge of my seat for the entire book! Maxim is a dark, powerful and sexy Alpha. Willow doesn't quite know the potential of her possible gifts yet, but she'll learn soon enough. She is strong, beautiful and smart as hell. I love that about her character. I want to know more about them all and what is happening between the packs. The end left me breathless! I need more!!
Lili Valente and Jason Clarke absolutely killed it in this one. I can't wait to hear the rest!

Entertaining

Storyline is interesting and entertaining. Narrators, especially Jason did a great job with narration. My only criticism is that so should have been a boxed set since books are novella length.

Mystery, suspense, & steam OH MY!~

Mystery, suspense, & steam OH MY!~ I was completely hooked in the mystery, suspense, and thrilling wolf shifter romance with unexpected twists and turns! Willow is a brilliant scientific mind with the unfortunate circumstance of being from a family on the wrong side of their pack, now forced to escape with very few options. Maxim is a powerful Alpha pack leader and the enemy of her enemy. There is so much going on and it keeps getting more and more complex. Can't wait to find out what's next! This is book 1 and you will need all 4 to get the full story. Buckle up!

I chose this series because I love Bella Jacobs and she picks the best narrators! Jason Clarke is a 1 click every time, so when you pair him with Lili Valente it's a guaranteed excellent performance. They both did an incredible job not only bringing the characters to life with all of the fear, anger, loathing, excitement, steam, and incredibly difficult/thrilling circumstances of their bond.

Great PNR series

I loved this combination of a mafia type/shifter romance.
Maxim Thorn is the epitome of an alpha male, not only is he the alpha of the North Star pack but he is also a mafia king. He's been working hard to keep his pack from civil war with the Blood River pack so when the mate of the rival alpha's son shows up on his doorstep looking like a drown rat, Maxim knows things are about to take a turn for the worst.
Willow knows her life is forfeited the moment she knocks her new mate unconscious on their mating night. So she does the only thing she can think of, jumps through a portal and hopes the North Star pack will take mercy on her. What she is not expecting is the chemistry that sparks between her and Maxim.
This book is an exciting start to a new series which ends with a cliffhanger, but I can't wait to see what happens next.
