Publisher's summary

Onyx: I'm a city wolf - a damaged and injured one at that. Obviously, the absolute last place I should be when I'm in heat is in the middle of the woods with unmated male shifters in the wild able to scent me. But here I am, running for my life. I'm not used to anyone being nice to me, let alone helping me. Even being the daughter of a pack alpha doesn't keep you safe when you're the lone freak in your pack who can't shift. I'm being hunted out here in the woods, and yet somehow I feel safe on the doorstep of the big, brusque stranger who offers me sanctuary. Taron isn't like any of the shifters I grew up around. He's a bear shifter for one - an alpha, no less - with a protective streak a mile wide...for me.

Taron: Not much to say. I knew from the moment Onyx found herself trying to escape her troubles in my woods. It hit me like a damn freight train. The she-wolf was my mate. Meaning she was mine to heal. And mine to protect at all costs.

Contains mature themes.

Captivating

This is one of my favorite audible series. They had me locked in from start to finish. I was hit with multiple emotions and the plots and twist were done just right to have me wondering what was going to happen next.

Not a typical alpha brute

I really enjoyed the fact that the big bad bear alpha wasn't a testosterone filled brute and genuinely cared about the well-being of the she wolf. It was great to break away from that ridiculous two dimensional alpha trope that saturates the omegaverse scene. I prefer ff omegaverse stories, though, which generally just have a more sincere feel. I understand that's not everyone's bag, though, so take it for what it is.
Both lead characters are strong and willful, and the story was interesting and had real substance to it. Solid A grade.

Disappointing

childish , rude and beyond insulting .... she is completely selfish ...... she begged for help ... he offer help and she does nothing complain and insult him ...... there is a difference between strong woman and bitch ......

if you have love it will work out

if you have love all will work out . even if you don't believe love will save you

Interestingly cute.

I liked the story. I think the characters were interesting and the premise was good to keep you and tangled in the story. I do wish that there was a little more depth to the characters and what happened towards the end, was really short and could’ve been expanded upon. It happened suddenly and then it was over.I’m thankful for the epilogue.

not what I expected

I struggled to finish this book. Starting with the narration. I was expecting there to be two, but throughout the book, with the exception of the last chapter, there was only the female narrator. Second, the story started off great, but towards the middle, the story felt really rushed, and the way the male lead interacted with the female during that time really didn't make sense.

Rushed and lacked depth.

This book had a lot of potential to be good, but I truly struggled to finish. It lacked any depth or character building. I had to keep checking to see if the app was glitching because I thought whole characters were missing. It felt rushed and unfinished. Very disappointing.

So confusing

It was only the female narrator. The story is so confusing and all over the place.
