I’m a doctor who hasn’t had a date since cell phones became ‘smart.’ How is it possible that three gorgeous guys can all want me at once?
It was a normal day, during a normal shift, in my normal life… when everything changed.

I wake up in a house in the middle of the woods with three men that allege they can turn in to WOLVES.

I don’t believe them of course. Who would?

But the proof is undeniable, and so is the attraction I feel for all three of them.

I want them… I do. And if wolf shifters are real… then all bets are off.

I’m Alice and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole.

I wanna see how deep this desire goes, because i won’t choose between them.

And luckily, they don’t ask me to.

Even with the threat of the bear shifters, and the fact that this all-male pack hasn’t born a female in over fifty years…

I need them.

This too big, sassy, smart girl is gonna get her happily ever after. Even if it means going against every instinct I have.
This story is a standalone novella set in the Woodlands Pack world, can be read in or out of order.
A steamy Reverse Harem wolf shifter romance with no cheating and a guaranteed super sweet, happily ever after.

For readers who love Alpha men, and women who fall hard and fast.

REVIEW:  Okay ….. Threesomes and shifters!!! I’ve read a few of these types of books, they seem to be the in thing at the moment. (1 woman and 3 men)

There hasn’t been a female wolf born into the woodlands pack for over 50 years, the population has given up hope of ever finding a mate. So the elders decided to pass a law where 3 Wolves form a triad (an Alpha, Beta and an Omega make up each little “pack”) and when they find their mate, they are to protect and guard them. But finding a mate is easier said than done. So they need to start looking for human females to breed with. (But Dexter’s pack will only mate with their Fated mate.)

Dexter is the Alpha of the pack, what he says usually goes. He’s known Jay and Taylor since they were all young, so his triad was always going to be those two. He wants a mate, and lately that’s all he can think of, someone to come home to, and someone he can have kids with, but with no females in the pack, he had to do something, and searching in the human world, seems like the only option left open to them.
Having touched Claire, he feels a jolt and when she faints at his feet, Dexter whisks her up into his arms and into the truck, then reality hits. What has he done?!?!

Jay is your omega, the caregiver, he wants a mate and a houseful of kids (in fact he would be happy to stay at home and look after the kids) he is the peacemaker, and when they find their mates, it’s going to be a happy home.

Taylor is the Beta of the group (second in command) he’s always been happy to follow Dexter’s orders. He’s the one who usually goes into town to find a little female companionship, but even that is wearing thin. How do you find your mate?

Claire is a doctor. She loves her job, not too keen on the long hours, but it comes with the job.

Waking up in a strange house isn’t Claire’s thing, but she remembers seeing a big man, shaking his hand, then nothing. And overhearing three guys talking about “sharing her” has her scared. How the hell did she get here? And what do they want? And when she sees what they can become……

This is where I get confused, previous books have the threesome looking for one female, and although Dexter said he didn’t mind sharing, when he meets Claire for the first time, he sends his pack mates away, he is fiercely jealous and guarded. (I thought it was a group decision to share?)

The foursome then have to work out how this life is going to work for them. And how will Claire cope when trouble comes knocking in the shape of angry bears?

‘I have the worst luck with men… But this takes the cake.
I HATE my name. Nevaeh… For the uninitiated, that’s Heaven spelled backwards.

And despite my weird childhood. Nothing beats this. I’ve entered the twilight zone.

Seriously. With three men who turn into WOLVES…

And they say I’m their destiny…

But they don’t realise the truth. Not yet. I’m poison. Cursed.

And my ex-boyfriend, turned stalker is a biker… with a pack of his own.

They won’t stand next to me if he threatens them… or will they?

When will I wake up?
Or if this is real… will I end up like Claire?
Pregnant and mated to three men who will take down anyone in their path?
This story is a standalone novella set in the Woodlands Pack world, can be read in or out of order.

REVIEW: This story starts with Grayson talking to Claire the human that belongs to part of the pack, she belongs to the triad of wolves (Dexter, Taylor and Jay) in book one. He wants to know how to look for his mate, and when will he know her?

Aaron is the beta of the group, Grayson’s second in command. Not as fast as Grayson but just as deadly. Prepared to protect his mate. He longs to come home to someone, to care and cook for her.

Brad is the Omega of the trio, he’s the homemaker, the caretaker of the pack. He wants a mate to care for, and children would be the icing on the cake.

Grayson is the Alpha, born to protect and provide for his pack and future mate. Now he knows there are human women out there compatible with their wolves, Grayson wants a mate for his little pack.

Neveah is married to her job. She loves being a nurse, and doesn’t think twice about pulling a double shift.

Visiting her friend Claire (we meet her in a previous book) she’s surprised and upset to hear Claire is ready to give up the double shifts and late nights, she thought they would be doing work together like the old days, once Claire comes back to work (something happened in Claire’s book, and she got injured) But Claire has a secret she needs to share with Neveah.

Neveah came across as very narrow minded and a bit of a prude, she finds out her friend is having a relationship with three other guys!!! And when Claire explains about the triad she is with, Neveah doesn’t really believe her. And for the three men being shifters!!! Well that takes a bit of convincing.

Meeting the three men/shifters proves just too much for Neveah and she leaves. She can’t or won’t commit, she’s worked too hard to get where she is, and the last man she trusted beat her and broke her trust. She can’t do it again!!!

The book then goes on to explore the feelings that Neveah has the the triad, and how the three men cope with a commitment shy female. Oh and her ex makes a nasty reappearance. And we find out why the bears want the wolves to be extinct!!!

One night of hedonistic rebellion…
…now she’s sentenced to death.

A Cinderella with no Prince in sight
I’ve cooked and cleaned and slaved through my lonely life, but it’ll be worth it when I find my bear-shifter mate.
He won’t offer love or loyalty, but he’ll give me the family I crave.
My dreams shatter when I discover I’m human—an outcast who smells ‘wrong’, who no bear will touch.
Lies, loss, rejection. They shred my heart like claws through flesh.
I seek solace at a bar with a bottle of Jack.
Then Tayte walks in, all sizzling seduction and heart-pounding heat.
Turns out a sexy alpha-wolf is all the pain relief I need.

Her greatest joy spirals into a terrifying nightmare.
I’m pregnant to the wolf.
And the bears want me dead.
I need the alpha’s protection. I’ll beg, offer myself as a slave if it’ll save my baby.
But I get more than I bargained for. Tayte’s three-wolf-pack are a package deal.
And they claim I’m their mate.
They show me more soul-searing passion than I ever imagined… and my hopeful heart blossoms with each tender caress.
Could these wolves love me, not just my baby?
And can they protect us both from the bears’ deadly vengeance?

•••••••••••

REVIEW:  Celeste had only ever known hurt and rejection. So she was use to it, but it still came as a shock when the bears she thought of as family passed a sentence of death onto her. (She had cooked and cleaned and was practically their slave, but she still thought of them as family) so she’s gotten a little drunk a few months ago, so she’d met a stranger and had sex with him, and yes she’s gotten pregnant by said stranger, but that didn’t mean she was to die!! And what about her poor little baby? It wasn’t their fault, so Celeste did what any sensible female would do…. she ran!!!!

Tayte is the Alpha of this little triad. He met a sweet little human in a bar a few months ago, but was too drunk to realise he had his fated mate in his arms. But now he has her, and she’s pregnant. He just needs to keep her safe from the bears that will surely try to take her back!! Over his dead body, his little pack will keep her safe, and if need be, the larger pack he lives with will come to his aid if need be. But why did the bears take her in as a child? Did they know she was meant to be a mate to a wolf? The bears and wolves have never really gotten on, but to keep her away from them, did they have some ulterior motive? As Alpha of this group, he needs to find out, and fast!!

Dane is the sweet omega, he’s use to being the caregiver, the homemaker (although cooking isn’t his strongest point, he’s happy if his little pack is happy.) So when Celeste comes on the scene, yes he’s happy his family is complete, but having his mate already pregnant with the alphas child, Dane is a little insecure as to his role in the pack now, what if she doesn’t want him? What’s he to do?

Sam is Tayte’s Beta, the second in command, but with Celeste in the triad now, all manner of feelings are being stirred up, jealousy that it’s the alphas baby (with a triad it could be anyone’s baby, so all will have a vested interest) nerves, what if Tayte and Celeste don’t want to be in a triad? And hurt, Celeste didn’t even seem to worry when he and Dane left the bedroom. But he does know he will do everything in his power to keep her safe, she may not want him, but he’s bonded to her already, he would give his life up for her.

Finding their mate was great, finding out she was already pregnant with their alpha’s baby, not so great, Sam and Dane felt a little left out, what is Celeste only wanted them because they came as a triad? What if their Alpha didn’t want to share Celeste?

This book was a little different from the others, Celeste already knew about the shifter world, what she didn’t know was that she was fated to be a wolf mate and not a bear mate. With the other two books in this trilogy the human females were unaware there were shifters in the world. So they took a little more convincing they were mates to three wolf shifters.

I did find it a little harder to connect with this triad and their mate, only because of the instant love Dane and Sam had for Celeste (with the other two books it was a little slower in forming) also some of the sex scenes seemed a little forced (a good story doesn’t always need loads of unnecessary sex) but I did like the fact we had more info on why the bears were trying to find and keep human females away from the wolf packs. And I enjoyed catching up with the other two triads from previous books.
