About this listen
Lone wolf Shaun Stevens' automatic response to the words "happily ever after"? Kill me now. Yet with all his friends settling down, he's begun to think there may actually be something to this love-and-roses crap. One thing's for sure: His dream mate will have to out-cuss, out-spit, and out-hike him. So he never expected the one to push his forever button would be a blue-blooded Southern debutante with a voice as dark and velvety as her skin.
When Gemmita Jacobs steps off the plane in Whitehorse, Yukon, it's about more than her caribou research project. It's her declaration of independence from an overprotected upbringing. Except there's something in the air she can't quite define - something that unexpectedly rouses her mating instincts. Moments after their eyes lock, the deed is done - and done thoroughly. When the pheromone dust settles, though, all the reasons they don't belong together become painfully clear. It's enough to make a wolf learn a whole new set of cuss words....
Warning: Two strong wolves getting exactly what they deserve. Includes wilderness nookie, shifters being naughty in public places, the Midnight Sun as a canopy for seduction, and grizzly shifters on the loose. Oh, and don't forget the sarcasm.

Story
All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

Three years ago, a darkly handsome stranger stole my heart. After one night together, I was certain I’d found my fated mate—until he rejected me and disappeared like a shadow. I never told anyone about that night. I shoved the shattered pieces of my soul into a locked box and pretended I'd never met Kian. But when a witch whispers a dire warning in my ear one day, everything changes. Because I don’t just have one mate. I have three. Feral shifters, she calls them. Wild, untamed, and fueled by darkness, created by a magic no one has ever seen before.

Black female southern wolf find her mate.BWWM
I kind of wanted this pure breed alpha black female to be mated with the alpha but, when you find your "mate" you don't have a choice. Perhaps there will me more stories about these 2 couples adventures. What about another try to kidnap her. Nice story

A little too cheesy for a Shifter Romance
So I can't complain too much since this is a seriously cheap book but I must say you get what you pay for...
It started off a little better than it ended...just not enough depth in the story. Also I just couldn't really get that these were two star faded mates destined to be together. I just didn't get the feel of these characters are really in love, they seemed weak and whinny.
There's nothing worse than a 350 pound scary wimp of a wolf

What Are You Looking For?
Too much sex, not enough storyline. Characters stereotypical, minimally drawn. When I purchased this ebook, "Insatiable Press" wasn't shown in the summary. If it had been, I would have realized what was being offered, and passed this book by.
