Laird Wolf (Takhini Shifters #2)
by Vivian Arend
Blurb:
Pulling
off a rescue mission at a remote castle in Scotland should be an easy task for
lone wolf Damon Black. He’ll flash some muscle, show a little Alpha power, and
do whatever it takes to ease Addie MacShay’s fears. But the woman who throws
herself into his arms and cries boyfriend is more intriguing than anticipated.
The sexy she-wolf’s got more curves, more tantalizing scent, more of everything
he desires.
Addie’s
job cataloguing an estate at the Sterling-Wylde Manor is complicated by the
ongoing discovery of new wills and the two creepy heirs who won’t leave her
alone. But her fake boyfriend turns out to be a far greater threat—not only is
he fun and flirtatious, he looks delicious in a kilt. She craves his touch, but
with her empathic skills on overdrive, touch is the last
thing she needs.
Damon’s
fighting his unruly inner beast. Addie’s fighting their incredible sexual pull.
They'll both have to lower their guard to make this more than a Highland fling.
Themes: wolves,
paranormal, Scottland!

Review:
Traveling to Scotland we get another glimpse
into the fascinating world of Vivian Arend’s shifters that spans across the
globe now. My love of this series began
with the wolf shifters of her previous series, and this spin off series so far
has been great. I have enjoyed meeting
the other kinds of shifters and the way they blend with the different packs and
their allies. This story revolves around
the two best friends of the H/h in the previous story (Copper King) and I was
wondering when and if they would get books, but never imagined they would share
a love story. Addie and Damon are both
hilarious characters with sharp wits, full of sarcasm and sweetness as
well. Coming to Addie’s rescue at the
request of her best friend, his best friend’s mate, Damon never imagined he’d
find his wolf’s mate and the love of his life in a woman that has driven him
crazy from the beginning of their friendship.
I cannot wait to learn more about these characters, but since the only
characters we met in this one were unlikely to be the focus of their own story,
I am curious who might be getting their own story next.
Damon
never planned to fall in love when he reluctantly travels to Scotland to assist
Addie with her problems at the home of her new employer. When he and Addie come to an agreement about
how to handle her concerns, it quickly becomes obvious that those issues are
the least of their problem, the biggest of which is the attraction between
them. As they get closer to one another,
the sensuality and sweetness that Damon shows Addie makes her think she might
be able to share her inner truths with him and find a way to share a life. When their wolves come out to play and their
destiny with them, Addie and Damon are determined to be together, no matter
what comes between them. Damon was a
great guy, willing to sacrifice for a friend and give everything for his love,
but his darker and dangerous edges make him a well rounded but tortured
hero. Addie was sweet and quirky,
dealing with the fallout of her parental lineage and the secret of her
gifts. The overall plot was interesting
with some twists and unexpected turns, and the ending kicked butt. Looking forward to whatever Arend’s
imagination kicks out next.
