Wolfs Honor By Ambrielle Kirk

Synopsis

Wolf shifter Connor Maxim is a law-abiding citizen. His motto: Keep the peace. Protect the Pack. His firm, Maxim Securities, had been created for this purpose. His honor will be tested when he’s called to deliver on his vows.

The homicide rate escalates to an all-time high on Pack territory, and all evidence points to two prevalent wolf Packs: the Caedmon and the Arnou. The Feds give the leaders of both Packs an ultimatum, and a three-day deadline. They must find the source of the murders before the Feds intervene.

When a police raid goes awry, Connor’s world collides with that of Antonia Trudeau’s. Under the guise of a striking spitfire of a woman—who happens to be his mate—is a criminal with a healthy rap sheet. He must decide if love is worth more than duty and honor.

Antonia circumvents more than just the laws…she captures Connor’s heart.

Connor is a half wolf/half human super hunter whose team is searching for the monster responsible for murdering members of the Cademon and Arnou pack members. In the midst of his hunt he crosses paths with Antonia who is in a bit of trouble herself. Because of the dirty dealings of her twin brother Andrew she is once again put in a situation where she feels she has to fight her way out.

Because this story is told in layers and each part is intricate to the story I won’t go into too much detail and give the story a way.  

Connor knows that Antonia is different just by her touch and sent. Antonia has a checkered pass because of her upbringing in an orphanage she finds it hard to trust and let go. She has always lived her life to protect her brother but never lived for herself. Connor is just the man to break down those barriers. I will admit these two getting together is a journey and test of love.

I didn’t like that it seemed Connor was always begging Antonia to spend time with him or just to let him in. But because of her past he had to constantly reassure his interest in her. A major point in the story was that Antonia knew more about the situation and how it is connected to Connor’s case then later on it was discussed that she would be “questioned” but when it came time for her to be interrogated it was put on the back burner or something else was brought up.

For instance one minute she's fighting him all the way through and then she finally gives way and now she's all about his life and future? It seemed odd because she had so many concerns and reservations prior namely her brother. I would have liked as a reader to see more emotion behind her big decision or shift in attitude.

I wasn’t quite sure of the timeline at one point it seems it’s a time lapse and they have a routine of doing things and being together. And just a scene prior I was just reading about a sex scene. There were few moments that have me questioning the immediate danger that brought them together. When they finally have the Alphas meet up the scene about the danger is overshadowed by wolf traditions but then there is a shift that sets this book up for the next books and it is oh so good. This author has a way of telling a story that leaves you wanting more. It was so many twists and turns with Devin and Tristan family secrets were revealed that may threaten the alphas and their pack members. I did like that as a reader Connor and Antonia got to grow in their love and the dreams they create together makes for a great epilogue. Please judge this book for yourselves and not based on this one review.

Run By: Eve Vaughn

First let me say I love the premise of this book. When I read the synopsis I thought this is going to be something similar to the Hunger Games. You know a futuristic place and someone mainly women are chosen if not often forced to participate in a game of survival. Accept in this book Run would be more adult since the ultimate hunt is to use women for sex. And honestly this book is about that and so much more.

We are introduced to Aya the main lead who is highly opinionated, and doesn't think much of herself. She is described as "exotic" i.e. dark features, doe like eyes, and a shaved head. I am thinking maybe having someone of a darker variety is a rarity in this town of a 3:1 ratio of men to women. But I digress. Aya disrespects one of the Elites in town but really is defending herself which leads her into a spiral of why she has to participate in the "Run." I will not give too much of the story a way but I will say that Aya being in the situation she is in doesn't help matters. I understand her being a strong character but there is a difference between strong and silly. Her mouth would get herself into situations and she is presented as so tough and in the same scene she gets misty eyed and wants to cry. This was so frustrating for her to be presented as someone who is unlike others and then seem so basic especially in her decision making processes. Dare the hero and main lead is the man who is the responsible for Aya's world falling apart around her. He is the strong, I don't take "no" for an answer and will destroy you type. But something about Aya pulls on Dare's humanity. Although Aya has no family and is destitute her body still sings the tune Dare plays. Good premise right? And it actually is but this story was so frustrating and inconsistent. Aya was very annoying and with all that happened to her family I don't understand how even though sex is a bodily function could give herself to Dare.

Although Aya did reach her breaking point regarding her family issues and Dare that scene just wrapped up way to quickly and her anger died down as quickly as it came. As I was reading I was wondering how the author would make this a love story? Because let's face it Dare is a pompous jerk. I still didn't get the love aspect although the author did try to offer redemption but it just felt forced. I don't understand how women were a rareity in this book bit are treated as less than, murdered,and abuse. How does this help repopulate the society when the women are killed off or are cast off? There was limited transition from the "run" to the characters themselves. For instance Aya mentions that she doesn't know why she feels for Dare the way she does. As a reader I don't understand why she loves him either. There should have been a better set up for the couple's relationship instead of the old faithful cosmetic pull that characters seem to have on each other. The author does offer so break out characters like Macy and Forrester whose stories I wouldn't mind knowing more about. Although this story had a good premise the execution for me was not there.  Just because this book wasn't my cup of tea doesn't mean that others will not enjoy it. Please judge this book for yourself and not based on this one review.
