BLURB:
Shane River is the last of the Bad Oak boys to feel the pull of his animal trying to get out. Problem is, once he shifts, the wolf wants nothing more than to run far away … alone. He’s an Alpha Lone Wolf, and that means he doesn’t need a pack. Tim Cooper thought his father was human. He wasn’t. He thought his werewolf mother could survive anything. She didn’t. He thought he’d never be able to shift, but he thought wrong, and the truth is more disturbing than anything he could’ve imagined. When Shane finds Tim’s mother dying in the desert, he vows to track down the vicious wolf-coyote hybrids responsible for the attack. He doesn’t expect her son Tim: a hybrid who has no idea what he is. He doesn’t expect Tim’s animal to call to his wolf. And he certainly doesn’t expect to mate with a creature ravaged by grief, but when instinct howls, the wolf must obey.
REVIEW:
Lone Wolf is about Shane River the last member of the rock band Bad Oak Boys, to find his mate. Bad Oak Boys comprises of four family members, two sets of brothers Shane and Silas River and their cousins Ryan and Josh Oakley. Shane is an Alpha Lone Wolf which means he can survive without a pack.
Shane is on the hunt for the last of the rogue coyote/wolf hybrids intent on kidnapping and impregnating healthy female werewolves to ‘restock’ their pack. What Shane finds is his mates mother who has been gutted and left for dead in the dessert, this leads him to finding his mate Timmeu ‘Tim’ Cooper.
Tim is devastated when he comes across his mother only to find she’s been murdered. Tim and his mother have been on the run forever. He’s never know who it was that was after them until he talks to the man standing over his dead mother he learns about the rogue hybrids who have just murdered her. Tim is incredibly confused when he starts to change, he’s never been able to change because as far as he knew his father was a human. When Shane explains that dormant wolves go through their first shift fairly rapidly after they meet their mate. Then Shane drops the bombshell that Tim is actually a coyote/wolf hybrid himself. They have to complete the bond as they have already half bonded or they will both die. Once they bury Tim’s mother and attempt to track the hybrid, which doesn’t go well as they arrived in a vehicle, Tim and Shane complete the mate bond but Tim has unfinished business and takes off for a couple of weeks to try to find the last of the rogues.
Six months later Tim is at the casino looking for his mate. It’s taken him a lot longer than anticipated to track the rogues but he’s done it now he needs help to bring them down.
It’s not easy but Shane and Tim are determined to straighten out the mistakes and misconceptions they both have about each other as well as being mated. Because they’re a coyote/wolf hybrid and an Alpha Lone Wolf they have a different bond and as such no-one can advise them of what’s ‘normal’ and what’s not. They also go after the rogues and learn a whole lot more about both their situations.
I’ve enjoyed reading all four books in the Bad Oak Boys series because they’re not your run of the mill paranormal/werewolf m/m romance story’s. Each book has its own particular quirky storyline but you heard from all of the MC’s from each book, within each book. I have no hesitations in recommending this book and series!
