The Enforcer's Gamble

Timberwolf Lodge, Book 2

De: Vivian Arend

Narrado por: Tatiana Sokolov

There’s nothing more dangerous than a mama bear…

Only days ago, Stacy Moraine and her three young boys’ arrival at Timberwolf Lodge involved a near disaster in a flooded river. This week’s agenda? Learn the ins and outs of the huge kitchen Stacy needs to run at the Lodge, deal with mouthy teenage pack members with control issues, and not drool over the deliciously dangerous Delaney Vezina, the local pack Enforcer, whose goal in life seems to be to strip naked and show off his perfect… everything anytime Stacy is near.

Switching from Alpha to Enforcer for the Jasper pack was the right thing to do, and Del’s had a lifetime of experience in doing what’s right, even if it’s currently killing him. Like not pushing Stacy too fast, even though he knows they’re fated mates. Having her boys in the picture only makes him want to accelerate the timing even more. He wants her, and them, to be his. But first, he needs to eliminate the dangers from her past that threaten their future.

Because something’s not right in the pack. There’s going to be a showdown between one very protective mama and anyone who thinks they can pull fast one on her. Del’s more than willing to hold her cape as long as they’re standing together in the end.

Not an Interlude

A wonderful series addition. Delaney "Del" Vezina and Stacy Moraine are quite the pair. I do like the dance they do, and I appreciate Del's patience as Stacy settles into her new home and role. I also love that it's made clear that they are not a passing fancy or interlude.

There really is so much I like and love about this. Del taking on his new position in the pack. Marvin, well, being Marvin. Blue's Chakras going on the fritz. Stacy embracing the pack and standing her ground when necessary. And so much more.

I absolutely love how Del is with Stacy's kids, not only mentoring Colt but also finding ways to include Ace and Blaze when appropriate. I like when he self-corrects and explains it to them, making them teachable moments. I also enjoyed the bad jokes and puns. They really are bad. 😄

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator, Tatiana Sokolov, is so easy to listen to. It's why I've done it a few dozen times. 😉 🎧🧡🎧

Never mess with a Momma's pup

Stacy and Dale are perfect match they both know it just matter of going from knowing to acting on it.,
There trouble in the pack but they dont know who is behind the troubles as they navifate through this growing relationship which is harder because of her three kids , Things happen and She stand up and show she dont have be wolf to exude power and Dominance!

Happy ever after ending with cliff hanger could say book goes out with bang!

Great work from writers and narrator!

Mother Power

I really enjoyed Del and Stacy, as they get to know each other as well as adjusting with kids in the mix. You see a whole new side to Del as teacher and father figure. He is now comfortable in his role with the pack. Stacy dominates the motherhood role, not with her own boys but helps the young men in the pack who haven’t quite found their place. This series is wonderful and I can’t wait for more.

awwsome

Nice sequel but also stand alone. It was a great story showing that anything can happen as long as you have good friends and let love guide you. if you like paranormal this a great read. I do they are so different from regular love stories. so if you want a good one grab this.

Great story! Really enjoyed it! Very cute!

I really enjoyed this one! I loved getting to see Del and Stacy get to know each other and figure things out. It was great getting to see the other side, the real side of Del, now that he was the Enforcer for the pack and not the Alpha fighting with Jace for the title. He knew right away that Stacy is his fated mate but he also realizes that it is a delicate situation with everything that she has been through and the fact that she has 3 boys. I love how he considers them his as well. It was soo cute watching Del figure out how to move forward with Stacey and the boys and working his way inside their trust and building relationships with them all. He didn't want to push too far too fast and to give Stacy the time she needed but he also couldn't not be around her and her kids. This story was sweet and I loved seeing the mama bear in Stacy and how that played out with the pack youths and overall with the pack. This was a well written and engaging story. I loved the antics of the boys and it was a fun read. It was cute and funny and just plain adorable at times. I loved getting to see the family at Timbercreek Lodge and how they are building it up and working to strengthen their ties. I can't wait for Stephanie and Blue's story and would love Marvin as well!
The narrator did a great job with the story and bringing it to life. She showcased emotion in her voice well and added that extra dynamic to make it come alive.

Brilliant storyline.

This is a great plot that has plenty of depth to it.
There’s great action drama and little suspense romance with
plenty of heat to it.
The interaction between all the characters is fantastic but there’s
a little bit of tension between some of the support characters.
The narrator was great with bringing the book and characters to life.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.

Great

Stacy and Delaney

I enjoyed listening to this. The narrator did a great job.

I liked Stacy and Delaney's story more than the first one. There was a lot going on. Stacy is the last one to show up to the lodge, she's a single mom,she will be in charge of the kitchen. Delaney is a wolf shifter who went from Alpha to Enforcer they are mated. Stacy's oldest is a wolf shifter who the Delaney volunteers to train. Lots going on in this quick book. Someone is out to get Stacy, there are some shady people and things going on in the clan, someone wants to takeover. I love Stacy she isn't afraid to stand up to this shifters and I found some parts of this story funny her kids cute and funny, Blue, Stacy and her encounter with a teenager,these are just some of the story I found amusing. Look forward to her sister and Blue's story.

So good!

OMG what an ending and now I need the next book STAT. 😍 Dell takes his time wooing Stacey but the smexy time between them while he does is smoking hot. Vivian Arend writes the best erotic romances! I loved listening to Tatiana Sokolov; she is the perfect voice for Vivian’s books.
