I am obsessed with everything Suzanne Wright writes. Savage Urges did not disappoint. Ryan has been hanging out as a secondary character in all of the other books and I have just been waiting for his time to come, and I LOVE that he is with Mackenna.
Broody Boy + Girl Is Terrified of needing to rely on someone = me, a very happy reader.
Mackenna has been one of my favorite characters just because of her dedication to her job.
I am immediately barreling into the next book.

Ryan and Makenna are definitely one of the best couples in wolf shifter books. He's so grumpy and she's so superstitious. I loved this re-read so much :)!
4 1/2 stars
This was one of the better ones in the series. She is very quirky, which ended up getting me to laugh at quite a few places. It was reminiscent of the first book. They had a great chemistry but the reason for the lack of bond was a little too stretched as there always is some reason for the lack of bond. In each of these book, so why the surprise or thought that it might not come? I was really happy that she didn't do her normal and of climax routine and make the woman and men look idiotic. Still it was different, just a little too much of a last minute save. It brought down my enjoyment of the book right at the end. Still a really good read and now I want more.

Spoiler
in may she uses the battle scene to separate the couple and then the bad guy always seems to be able to get a hold of the heroine. It didn't happen here. Instead she used the right on the edge of life, the heart beat stopping and bond broken, trope.

The Phoenix Pack is a series that I’ve loved since listening to the first book, Feral Sins, years ago. I love the humor and snark that fill the pages. The women tend to be very snarky and take no crap, even if they are not the most alpha of the pack. The men do tend to be a little over dominate, which is a little irritating to me, but overall, I still enjoy them. Then there is Greta, the pack alpha’s grandmother who hates all the females. She thinks they are all “hussies” and not good enough for “her boys”. The stories tend to be fun.
In this story, we have Makenna Wray, a lone wolf who works at shelter for other lone shifters. She helps to find new packs for these loners. She tries to find homes with some family tie. In the case of Zac, a fourteen year old boy who ran away from an abusive pack, she finds Ryan from the Phoenix Pack.
Ryan is not known for his communication skills. He is quite the brooder who speaks more in grunts than actual words. Ryan and Makenna work together to make Zac comfortable and want to join the Phoenix Pack, though Zac is very concerned that his old pack is still looking for him. He doesn’t want to bring trouble to his newfound relatives.
There is also an issue with another alpha who wants to take control of the land that the shelter sits on. He is not a good man with horrible reasons for wanting access to the shelter. He has a creepy mother who isn’t helping matters. Threats to the residents and the people who run the shelter make up a large part of the story too.
While I was not a huge fan of the romance between Makenna and Ryan, I just thought that they made mountains out of mole hills between the two of them. I did love the story about Zac and the shelter. I loved learning more about the loners. We also got to see other shifters besides just wolves (I believe it is the first time we’ve seen anything besides wolves in this series). I liked action going on with the other alpha (though he was a horrible man). I loved watching the Phoenix Pack fight him.
This was a good addition to the Phoenix Pack series. It is still full of humor, even as this story tackled darker stories than what we’ve seen in the past. There wasn’t as much of the silly dirty jokes from Dominc. I really missed them. I’m getting a little sick of Greta. At some point, she has to give it up. She hates on girls before she even meets them. All in all, I did enjoy the series. It is full of humor, action, lots of sex (this is one of my more sex filled PNR series). A fun series. I do recommend it.
Narration
I’ve been listening to this series from the beginning. I love Jill Redfield’s narration of this series. I think she doesn’t a great job. Everything from the male voices, to the children to cranky ol’ Greta. I can’t imagine reading this series, as opposed to listening to it. I feel that Redfield’s narration really adds to the story for me.

“Everything ok here?”
Ryan grunted urging her with a hand on her lower back.
“He thinks you should mind your own business,” Makenna told the Beta,translating the grunt.
Dominic cocked his head. “You understand his grunts?”
She lifted her chin. “I thought it was crystal clear.”
Dominic turned to Ryan. “Marry her.”
Ryan grunted again before heading for the door.
“What did he say?” Dominic asked her.
“Fuck off,” she translated.
“Trey cocked one brow at her. “Do I not get a say in this?”
She patted his arm. “Of course you do. Just note that if your opinion is different from mine, it will be disregarded.”

Every book in this series and world starts off with me thinking that it will be the last book I read from this world, but by the end of it, I want to find out more about the other characters and continue with the series.
I really liked Makenna and Ryan in this book. They both said what they were thinking so there was no miscommunication. I really liked how even when they did have issues, they talked to each other and worked it out.
I liked seeing the characters from the other books, but all the side characters are in the background, and they aren’t really developed. For example, this book was mostly supposed to be about Ryan finding out that he has a relative that he didn’t know about, so he’s supposed to be trying to get to know him. I think throughout this whole book Zac is only fully shown in a scene maybe three times, otherwise he’s in the background which I don’t count as being part of the scene.
The reason why the beginning of most of the books in this world bother me, is because the character who is new to the pack always immediately acts so familiar with everyone. It’s really annoying how they know no one and yet after exchanging one sentence with someone, they immediately say I like you and their relationship is established. There is absolutely no relationship development with the pack and there aren’t many, if there are any, scenes where the main characters spend time with the side characters.
I still want to continue with the books in this world, but I know that I won’t be completely satisfied with the stories. Even though I want to read Riley’s book because I want to see more of Dexter and Savannah, I know that in her book they probably won’t even be mentioned much.

This was pretty good. There were a lot of suspenseful moments and I liked the hero and heroine's interactions as well as the pack dynamics. There were also some nice hints re: Tao and Dominic.
