Cowboy Wolf Trouble by Kait Ballenger | Book Review

Dec. 31, 2018

Cowboys and Wolves, could there be anything better? This was my first read from this author and again it took me a while because of how busy I was. I could not have been more entertained

Series: Seven Range Shifters #1
Genres: Romantic Suspense, Womens Fiction

Seven shifter clans call the Montana mountains home.
But a new evil will stop at nothing to tear their world apart.

Human rancher Naomi Evans cares only about saving the ranch that was her father's legacy. Until a clash with Wes opens up a whole new world―a supernatural world on the verge of war―and Naomi, her ranch, and the sexy cowboy wolf stealing her heart are smack dab in the middle of it.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I love that Wes is the take action sort of guy. Even if that seems to get him in trouble a lot. He doesn’t always agree with the alpha and goes against what the alpha wants sometimes. He tries to be good but sometimes you have to do the wrong thing in order to do the right thing. I heard that once and it is the perfect description Wes. He ends up getting himself caught in a trap on a ranch.

The very trap that Naomi’s brother set to catch a wolf. Well he did but Naomi ends up seeing more than she should. Like a wolf shifting into a man. Okay, that would freak me out! I also enjoyed how she showed Wes how to believe that he was a good man. She could see it, he just had problems with it.

five-stars

Title: You’ve Got Hate Mail
Series: Accidentally Infamous
Book #: 1
Release Date: June 16, 2026
Ebook, Audiobook and Paperback 

Narrators: Kristina Ruth Zaharek, Gregory Salinas, supporting cast: Samantha Brentmoor and Stella Hunter

I should’ve worn underwear that day. 

I’d have far less hate mail in my inbox. I’d also still have a job. 
 
But I didn’t wear underwear. And I had a wardrobe malfunction on a livestream. 
 
So now I’m the proud owner of the internet’s most famous… you know. 
 
The good news? I’ve been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who’ve suffered their own five minutes of shame. 
 
The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman. 
 
A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman. 
 
Whom I met when I punched him in the face. 
 
Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he’s happy keeping his distance from me. 
 
But when we find out the winery that’s saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners. 
 
No big deal, working with a guy that I’m falling harder for each day. 
 
I’m already the internet’s favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life? 
 
But what if it’s not unrequited after all? 
 
From USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author Pippa Grant comes a funny, heartwarming, swoony romance perfect for readers who love protective book boyfriends, found sisterhoods, slow burns, epically awkward meet-cutes, and love conquering all. 
 
Content note: This book contains toxic family and references to bullying, suicide, abuse, and the off-page cancer death of the hero’s first wife several years before the story begins.

Unfortunate Games by Nichole Rose

Her fortune wasn't supposed to be her fate.

Emelia
Drunkenly folding my way into a future with the hottest goalie in the league wasn't how I intended to spend Saturday night, but here we are.

Clearly, my besties should not be in charge of Girl's Night activities.

One cootie catcher later, and Royce Elliot is determined to make this wild prediction a reality.

I'm absolutely not interested. Until I am.

He's supposed to be my client, not the man I can't resist.

But with every touch and every kiss, this feels less like a game…
and more like forever.

Royce
I know hockey, not how to win over a stubborn, fiercely independent publicist.

But the second I meet Emelia Jónsson, I stop caring about shutouts.
I care about her.

She says her fortune teller doesn't mean anything—that it's just a childish game.
I say fate handed me an opening, and I'm not going to miss my shot.

I didn't expect her to ignite the way she does for me.
And I never imagined I’d fall this hard, this fast.

She swears this can't happen.
She's wrong.

I'm not backing down until she admits the truth.
We were never just a game.
The two of us were fate.

Tropes include:

🏒 Hockey Romance
🏒He Falls First
🏒 Forced Proximity
🏒 Happily Ever After

Rafe Montero keeps his world quiet, controlled, and carefully structured.

As a wounded veteran turned demanding boss, the last thing he wants is a distraction, especially in the form of the bright, chaotic energy of his new employee. Beneath her playful confidence, though, is a woman determined to prove herself — even if her brooding boss keeps pushing her away.

Seraphina is everything Rafe isn’t. She’s outgoing where he’s guarded, spontaneous where he’s rigid, and impossible to ignore.

The more they clash in the workplace, the more undeniable the tension becomes. When late nights at the office turn into stolen moments and guarded confessions, Rafe realizes Seraphina might be the one person capable of breaking through the walls he built.

My Wounded Boss is an instalove romance featuring a possessive alpha hero, sizzling chemistry, a fiery heroine, a broody hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
