An exciting and entertaining read. This contemporary paranormal romance is a little naughty in the beginning as Gia and Jensen hookup during her heat. Their intense connection triggers Jensen’s mating fever.

These two reconnect a few weeks later when Gia begins her new job at Kincaid Corporation as a software designer, the company where Jensen Kincaid is CEO.

I enjoyed the plot twists and getting to know the characters. Gia is a strong and opinionated young woman who doesn’t want to have to give up her career goals and dreams for taking a mate. She stands up to Jensen and he enjoys her sass and attitude.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I enjoyed this read. The level of detail was good, and I really enjoyed the storyline. I really liked Gia's character a lot. She knew what she did not want and is a strong female character overall. The authors' approach to lycans and witches was mostly traditional but with some unique aspects that caught my interest.

My heat rating is based on the amount of occurrence, length of scenes, and how explicit/filthy/unconventional the scenes are. This book rates about a 3/5.

I really liked this book - I thought it was an interesting take on wolf shifters and PNR. I’m excited to see where book 2 goes!!

I loved this book I loved Jenson and Gia and their dynamic. Normally I struggle to read books about main characters with drinking problems but it was very well done. I loved the consent I think it was my favourite thing about the book that was also very well done, I also loved how they interacted with each other I love how they both have very strong personalities but still managed to make it work I didn’t like how Jenson acted sometimes but he definitely improved as a character by the end I also love how he put so much importance on consent. I’m normally hesitant over omegaverse books but I loved this one. Overall a fantastic read and would recommend this author! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Gia, the female wolf shifter lead, is determined not to be forced into choices by her biology, leaving her home space whenever she’s in heat so the local alphas can’t trap her and force her to be an at home female, when she’s just secured a designer job at a well respected firm. Jenson, the male wolf shifter lead, is the alpha of his pack but a functioning alcoholic struggling with his history. When he scents Gia on the train as she leaves home, he follows her, drawn to her scent and her determination to reject him. Persuading her to give him time in her heat after promising not to impregnate her, he’s shocked when he feels the need to mate her and leaves her with a note.

When Gia next sees him as her boss at work, she’s not thrilled, and is more determined to remain separate from him because she doesn’t want accusations of favouritism. But Jenson has enemies who want to take him down and Gia is looking like a weakness…

This story is dual POV, well written, and an interesting shifter story. I enjoyed the world the author constructed. I enjoyed Gina’s self-determination and her career focus. I enjoyed Jenson’s character development and the fact that he started to drag himself out of the addiction he was mired in. I enjoyed the push for improvement. I struggled with the arrogance of Jenson through the story. I didn’t appreciate the way he didn’t communicate clearly with Gia and the way he treated both Gia and other characters in the story. I enjoyed many of the secondary characters. This story ends with a satisfactory HFN, though the author indicates there will be a sequel with the same characters.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

One With the Wolf. This title says it all for Jensen. It’s time for him to settle down, set up, and become one with his wolf. Life has never been easy for him, but into his life walks Gia. She’s beautiful, she’s smart, and she rocks his world upside down.

Wolf power dynamics, finding if it’s love or lust, and what’s true and what’s not. This book has it all. Love alpha wolves with strong alpha mates? This one is for you.
