Wolf's Promise (Caedmon Wolves #2) By Ambrielle Kirk

“True love awaits in the path of danger, but will Selene and Nick let the chaos destroy their bond?”

While taking a vacation to see a friend, Selene has a car accident in the backwoods of Virginia. Upon waking up, she finds herself in a strange cabin bound to a bed, and threatened by a scared, angry, ill tempered man. She is told his wife can't bare him children and if she wants to live she will bare his offspring. He demands at least 9 months of her life.

High in the mountains of Virginia, Nick second in command of the Caedmon Pack is attacked, captured and locked a dungeon. The Fates being as cruel as they are throw Selene and Nick together in the underground dungeon. Hours pass with conversation, small bits of beef jerky, and Nick's promise to protect and help Selene to escape.

Good luck and sloppy guards, allow Nick and Selene to escape, along the way we learn about our characters, through their conversations with each other. We see Selene's fear turning to trust, and Nick's protectiveness and caring growing stronger with each footstep.

There was a lot going on in this book, Selene & Tamara's meeting, Devin & Tamara's wedding plans, Nicks past, his fears of being betrayed by a lover, Darius' plans to destroy Devin, glances into Pack politics, and Selene's newly awakened sexual hunger. This book seemed a bit darker and edgier then Wolf's Haven, the sex Hot if not hotter.

The book is novella length (approx 120 pages), has good character development, a strong story line, continued world building, characters you can't help but hate, and those you love. It does contain some violence and threatened rape scene, all related to the development or support of the plot. It’s a good follow on to Wolf's Haven, and from what I understand a led in to at least a third book.

Hopefully the book will be well received and will encourage Ms Kirk to write a full length novel, expanding on the characters we have meet, life in the Caedmon Pack, forth coming nuptials, possible offspring, and Elise's role as a "seer".

This book was given to me by the Author in exchange for an honest review

Selene is crisis counselor searching for her missing client. Little does Selene know that searching for her client would lead her to be kidnapped. A scarred face man tells Selene that she'll willingly submit to his affections and bear his get as well. Selene stares at this man in shock and informs him that she'll do no such thing. Nick Caedmon is second in command for the Caedmon Pack. Nick wants to regroup before meeting up with his Alpha Devin. Nick is taken hostage where he meets Selene, who turns his world upside down, and fellow captive. Who is the scarred face man? Will Selene and Nick escape? Will Nick admit his attraction? Your answers await you in Wolf's Promise.

I loved this series! The characters are well written. They have flaws and not perfect which is a bonus. The attraction between Selene and Nick is explosive. I liked how the author tied up loose ends from last book to this one. Leaving plenty of room for more books. Yay! ( )
