Wolf's Bane by Auryn HadleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When Cultures Collide
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
Elena is 40 years old and heading out of a miserable marriage. She takes herself, and her 14 year old daughter, Gabby, and moves to an exclusive housing community where she has just been employed as a leasing agent by her best friend, Ashley, who’s father happens to own the community. Ashley happens to have a brother who shares a house with his four best friends and they live next door to the house Elena is moving in to.
All five men are gorgeous, charming and younger than Elena. What she doesn’t know is that as well as running the community, Ashley’s brother, Ian, is the werewolf pack alpha and his room mates are his betas and they are all interested in Elena.
This book is not fast paced. There’s not huge amounts of world building, which is unusual in a paranormal romance and especially unusual for this author, but it doesn’t seem to matter. That’s because the book is about the relationships involved. Not just the polyamorous relationship but also the relationship between Ashley and Elena, Elena and her daughter and Ashley and Ian. I particularly enjoyed the relationship between Elena and Gabby which was fraught at times but very loving and supportive.
I like that everything is not smooth sailing and that it’s a slow build romance. There’s a lot about trying to bridge the gap between the cultures and that’s really interesting.
This is the first book in a series, but there’s a definitely HEA vibe by the end of the book, so you won’t be left on a cliffhanger. It can definitely be read a standalone. It’s a really enjoyable book that had me smiling a lot of the time whilst reading it. I’ll look forward to the next in the series.
