"I can't touch you yet. Once I do, it's over."
As daughter of the ruling Pack family, Layla Warden is under pressure to settle down. Find a nice wolf mate from a nice wolf family and have nice wolf babies. Layla has other plans, but when you're a werewolf, biology trumps plans. And when Layla meets Sid, the sex is so intense, so hot, so consuming, it's more than just a connection. It's a mating bond.
Sid Rosario wasn't expecting to find his mate so soon - some wolves never find theirs. Now that he's found Layla, he's never letting her go. But lust and desire alone aren't enough to secure their bond. If they want this incredible happiness to last, there's one more thing they'll have to do....

Story
Jolie Louis is a smart girl. She knows that her best friend, Sage Poirier, is a bad idea. He's a walking, talking cliché. The Adonis quarterback with the bulging biceps and harem of fangirls trailing behind him on campus like a stench you can't get rid of. Sadly, that's also the reason she can't stay away from him. Well, that and the fact that they're roommates. Jolie is already straddling the line between friendship and more when Sage comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse.

Story
Last night was the most embarrassing night of my life. I was that girl. You know, the highly intoxicated chick celebrating her 30th with her two best friends - the ones who are happily married. And the more I drank, the more I wanted to do something reckless to celebrate. By reckless, I meant the sexy and alluring man dressed in a business suit standing near the bar.

It was supposed to be a temporary thing. A gig in Paris while I tried to find my dad. Then I met him. Ho. The man. The suit. The professional escort...? I mean, he did go on two consecutive dates during one of my shifts - and I ended up being the third. It was supposed to be a one-night stand, but it turned out to be forever. Here was what I wasn't ready for - Ho held more than just my destiny and my heart. He held the key to unravel the mystery of my dad, too.

Story
Anastasia Villiers has hit rock bottom. And that rock is named Espoir Island. Abandoned by her disgraced investment banker husband who liquidated all of their assets and fled the country, Anastasia is left with nothing - except for Fishscale House, a broken-down Queen Anne in the Michigan hometown she swore she’d left for good. If Ana quickly renovates and flips the dilapidated building, she can get back to Manhattan and salvage her life. The problem? The only person on the island with historical renovation cred is Ned Fitzroy - Ana’s first love.

Boring. Invisible. Pretty for a plus-size girl. Those were all the things I felt about myself, thanks to my chosen career as an accountant and society’s depiction of the perfect female. So, I booked a trip to Vegas for my birthday. In walked Soul Matthias, treating me and my body as anything but ordinary. Player. Bad boy. High-risk. That’s what baseball owners banked on to lowball my contract. I had to get my act together. Then, in strutted Alexa Livingston. A breath of fresh air, someone completely different. But what we had wasn’t real. It was just a marriage contract.

As his personal assistant, she was very aware that the globally successful CEO was ruthless and unforgiving. Of course, if she'd known he'd request that she be his wife for 12 months, she'd have hesitated in accepting his help.

The eligible dragon shifter males must hunt a handful of females. It's first catch, first serve. The biggest problem is that the females are human. Despite feedback to the contrary, Coal thinks they are weak and breakable. In his opinion, not capable of surviving the hunt, let alone the mating that will follow. He doesn't believe that a lowly human is capable of birthing him a royal heir, so why has his brother, the king, tasked him with claiming one?

I've read this entire series years ago and loved it so I knew I had to to get the audiobooks when they came out "FINALLY"! This story is so short it's hard to get into the story the way you will with the rest of the series. This book is more of an introduction into the Cascadia world and the history of the Pack. There isn't much meat to this one but I still enjoyed it. As all of these books are, this one was HOT!
The narration was pretty good. Tanya Eby doesn't have the voice for every audiobook, she has a very distinct sound so I was worried if she would fit this series and I was happy to hear that she has a little bit of a different tone in this series and it fit well with these characters!

series prequel- no insights
I bought this on sale to taste test the series because I didn’t previously own - or remember borrowing- any Lauren Dane books.
It’s the prequel - a snapshot of when Layla met Sid and bonded, but only references other characters. It doesn’t give a heads up on the dynamics of the pack or individuals. You only get the author and narrator ‘voices’. I’d recommend reading the next book to test the series.

Short and sweet. Smutty.
Three sex scenes in a very short listen. Curious about the rest of the series but we'll see how I feel. Lots TBR to go through. Enjoyed it for what it was. Narrator did well.

it's a wolf thang
Okay, it is what it is for this genre.
80 minutes to go from insta-lust to insta-mate to insta-love.
3 naughty & detailed scenes (4 if you count the 10 second fade to black wolf on wolf nooky scene)
2 were-men in a MFM scene (what this series calls "tri-bonding")
1 surprisingly well-written novella ending in a HEA
This is an excellent smexy nightcap which convinced me to wishlist book 1. I was surprised by the quality of the dialogue and flow of the story, considering the nooky-focus. Is there cheese? Yes. But it's cheddar, so it's sharp.

Dull and Rote
This was a prequel of a series. It was short and things moved a bit too fast, especially the “tri-bonding.” Didn’t believe the insta love. It was just A meets B and adds C. Steamy scenes were ok, narration was ok. I won’t be following the series.
