Emotionally charged ending to the Westervelt Wolves series. Book eight is Gabriel and Carrie's story. Starting where it all began after waiting years for his mate to finally grow old enough to mate, Gabriel finally tells Carrie and the two mate. Expecting to live out the rest of his life happy with the mate he has always cherished, his plans are ruined by his father who goes made and makes all the male mated shifters kill their mates. That is all but Gabriel, because his father has other plans for him. 

As the years go by, Gabriel goes slowly made and waits for the day he can finally kill his father and get his mate back, but that date takes much longer than Gabe or Carrie would ever imagine. 

For those who have followed this series and come to love this family of wolf shifter as much as I have, this book is sure to bring tears to your eyes. Gabe story is the best in the series as far as I'm concerned. It is a great end to an imaginative series.

Welcome back to Westervelt Island where we find youngest brother Rex on an errand to find a witch the young princes can use to help in the fight against their evil father.

Rex has always felt like a screw up and feels that this is his last chance to convince his Alpha brother that he has the pack's best interest at heart. His mission is to find a witch. By coincidence the first witches that he comes across are the same that meet his sister in the previous book.

Liz is a cursed witch. The witch that has taken over her coven has cursed her with a face that when seen is so ugly that human flinch at the sight. She is also forced to travel with the witch's twin daughters and do their bidding her her mother and the rest of the coven will be killed.

When she meets Rex she doesn't know what to make of him, because werewolves are know to kill witches, but Rex is the only one that sees the real Liz without the curse following her. He tells her that it is because he is her mate and as such will help her break the curse. But can he save her in time before the evil witch kills those she loves?

Nice addition to the Westervelt series. Rex has always been an interesting character in the series. While each of the brothers seem to offer a different personality, Rex has always been a character that stands out. Even from the beginning when he fails to meet his older brother on time, which has Tristan being captured and sent to live in a zoo for years until his mate gets him out.

Description:
Rex Kane has always known he was different than his brothers, down to the fact that when he shifts into his wolf form, his coat is completely black. Always in trouble, he is given one more chance by his brother Tristan, the alpha of the Westervelt pack, to bring back to their island a witch who can stop some of the magical assault that has plagued their war-torn home. Rex knows he has one last chance to set things right. Everything depends on him and he cannot fail.

Elizabeth Willow has been cursed to look so repulsive no human eyes can bear to view her. Raised in a gentle coven of witches, she is ill prepared for the realities of the harsh world she now lives in.

Raised to mistrust wolf-shifters as witch-killers, she cannot seem to help being drawn to Rex. Even if she doesn't believe she is his so-called mate. He can see her as she really is and is the first person to look her in the eyes in years. Although she is not naturally devious, she sees no choice but to use Rex to gain her own freedom and her family’s safety.

Together, Rex and Elizabeth will see just how evil the people around them can be. If they can trust their hearts, perhaps they will survive another night. If not, both of their battles will never be won.

In the sixth installment of the Westervelt Wolves, the sister of the royal Kane family is found. Angel is running from the horrid members of the New Orleans' pack when she stops at a bus stop and runs straight into her mate.

Parker has lived and worked at this truck stop for twenty years. He doesn't speak and choses to stay away from people. When another werewolf comes into the diner, Parker immediately realizes it is his mate. Parker wants nothing to do with Angel. He remembers from his childhood that male weres kill their mates and already he knows he never wants to hurt Angel no matter if he has mated with her or not.

Destiny wants the two together and when a spell nearly takes Angel's life, Parker has no choice but to take her back to the Island of their birth and get Angel the help she needs.

If you haven't read any of this series before start from the beginning. Although the author gives enough clues that you can enjoy each love story, you won't want to miss this series from the beginning.

Description:
Angel Kane has always known who her family was and why she was hidden away from them in New Orleans. Now on the run, the last thing she wants is anything that could potentially get in the way of the plan she’s made for herself. That is, until she walks into a truck stop in New Jersey and encounters Parker Liberty—the wolf fate has picked out to be her perfect mate.

Parker Liberty hasn’t uttered a word in almost forty years. Not since the horrible day he watched his father murder his mother on the island of Westervelt. He ignores his inner wolf and contents himself with expressing his inner emotions through his tattoos. But when a pair of witches almost kill Angel, he will return to Westervelt to save her.

Westervelt is under constant attack by Kendrick. It is questionable whether the Westervelt pack can even survive the week. Angel and Parker’s arrival will either turn the tide of the war or end them forever.

This is the fourth book in the Westervelt Wolves series. The story continues with Aziel Kane. Az is the more at ease in his basement lab than he is at fighting the battles his father has been sending him and his brothers. He's been spending hours down in his lab trying to figure out how his father is turning humans into "made" wolves. So far all of the "made" wolves brought into his lab have died except for one.

Leah has no idea how she got into a wolf's body. One day she woke up in a cage, remembering nothing but her name. She knows she's woken up in the cage more than once. She remembers the man who approaches the cage.

When Az realizes that Leah is his mate, he is all the more dedicated to defeating his father and finding a way from releasing Leah from wolf form.

Well written shifter book that should be read in sequence with the other books in the series.

Description:
Wolf’s Magic is the story of Azriel Kane, fifth brother in the royal Westervelt wolf pack. Always different from his siblings, Azriel prefers to spend his time underground in a lab than out fighting battles to save the pack from destruction. In his own way, he feels he is contributing to the pack’s success. However, when fate plants his destined mate in a cage where he can’t ignore her, Az will be forced to face up the demons that have plagued him since childhood and be the shifter she needs him to be.

Leah St. James has no idea who she is or how she came to be trapped in a cage in Azriel’s lab. The only thing she is certain about is that she is not a wolf and that she wants out of her false wolf body as soon as possible. Counting on Az to save her from the same doomed fate as the other wolves Az is given to study, from the distance of her cage she can see Az for who he really is and not the false front he presents to the world.

But Kendrick Kane is not done with Westervelt and when he steps up his game to eliminate the Kanes from Westervelt, Az and Leah will need each other to discover the truth behind his evil plans, that is if Azriel can finally reveal the secret he has been keeping since he was a child.

With Leah’s help, can Azriel finally take his place in the pack hierarchy or will they fail and lose Westervelt forever?

[Excerpt]

In book 4 of the Westervelt Wolves it is Valentine's Day. Jana has been alone for 30 years as she has waited out the curse that plagued the island where her people, a group of wolf shifters, lived. As an unmated wolf she was saved the fate of those mated females around her and was able to escape. When she receives an unexpected Valentine card she doesn't know whether to run or assume that the card is a joke.

As one of the elite warriors of the Westervelt pack, Malcolm is sent to investigate a businessman who might be suppling money to the man who placed the curse on the Westervelt pack. While in New York City he finds the one woman he has waited his whole life for--his mate. Since he has had to disguise himself, Jana doesn't recognize him as a wolf or her mate. When he is able to take away what is masking his scent, he knows she will accept who he is and then can start their life together. First, though, they must stop the money flow so that the Westervelt pack can be safe.

This is the first book I've read in this series. I think to understand the general purpose of the series it would be best to read the books in order first, although it isn't really necessary to like this book. The characters are strong and work perfectly together. This isn't a hard core erotic novella. This is just a general mainstream paranormal romance, which is really part of it's appeal. The story of the wolves is well written and pulls you forward to the next part in the series.

Description:
Jana thought she was through with Westervelt. Fleeing for her life thirty years ago, she's hidden as a human ever since. But a strangely worded Valentine delivered to her desk at work has given her pause.

Malcolm never expected to find his mate working for a crooked company he was sent to investigate in New York City. But there she is. Now, on Valentine's Day, the two will battle their attraction for each other while taking down a conglomerate built for the sole purpose of destroying the Westervelt Wolves.

Will love win the day?
