Virginia has had it with her family filled with alphas. She can't get a moments peace to even go on a date. But it isn't only her alpha family she has to worry about it is also another alpha that has taken a liking to her. 

Virginia met Carver when she was worried to death about her cousin who was taken hostage by a neighboring back. Since then Carver has moved to Timber Valley and has made it quite clear that he doesn't want her, but no one else can. At least that is what Virginia believes until she wakes up one morning after getting a little too drunk and finds out that is she is now married to the arrogant, but very sexy wolf shifter alpha. 

Now she can't decide if she wants to love him or leave him. In the meantime, strange things start to happen while they are on their honeymoon and the mysteries keep racking up.

I've read the whole Timber Valley Pack series and so far this one was one of my favorites. I liked the complexity of the characters. I have to admit that Carver is nothing like I pictured him from when we first met him, but I liked the character he turned out to be. He was perfect for Virginia tough exterior. And Virginia in her own right is a complex character who on the one hand wants to help everyone and on the other wants to be as strong as the other alpha members of her family. 

Good job, now I'm looking for to the next installment.

Description:

Alphas? Wolf shifter Virginia Battle has had her fill of them. She’s grown up with an Alpha dad and four bossy, overprotective older brothers - so there’s no way in hell she’s going to give arrogant, sexy Carver Lawrence the time of day. Yet he keeps showing up everywhere she goes, scaring off all the guys who want to date her – and not making a single move on her. Then after one drunken night in a casino, she wakes up next to him in bed…with a wedding ring on her finger. 

Now her pack is howling for his blood (literally), he’s insisting that she’s really his wife, and before she knows it she’s whisked off to a sexy honeymoon at a mountain resort. Carver’s known from the minute he laid eyes on Virginia that she was meant to be his – but can a strong-willed woman (with some pretty big secrets) and a demanding dominant Alpha ever find love? 

Just when Virginia’s starting to think that being married to a man who comes equipped with his own handcuffs might not be the worst thing in the world, she and Carver learn that there’s something very wrong at Honeymoon Mountain. Does it have anything to do with the secret she’s been keeping from her family? And with the townspeople hiding a deadly secret of their own, and someone – or something – very scary sniffing around at her cabin, will she survive long enough to find out?

In the fourth installment of the Timber Valley Pack, always do right Dash has finally found a crime that lynx shifter Isadora can't talk her way out of. He doesn't know all the facts and he can't quite believe that she would do something so bad, but Isadora seems to be consorting with humans who have been kidnapping and experimenting on shifters. As he and the shifters go after her, he finds out there is a lot he doesn't know about the lynx he's had his eye on for sometime. 

Isadora is off on a mission dodging the shifters and the humans, but she knows her mission most important to the survival of the shifters. When Dash catches up to her, Isadora wishes she could trust him, but she knows that the do-gooder in Dash will require him to turn her in and she can't let that happen with such a threat to other shifters. 

This story was the best so far for this series. I'd been waiting to see how these two opposites would finally attract and the story didn't disappoint. Isadora's feisty character continues to shine through the pages in this installment in the series adding more shades of grey to her character. I even liked how Dash lightens up a bit has he realizes that everything isn't always black and white.

Description:

Wolf shifter Dashiel Battle has always known that Isadora Mosswood is a rebel, a rule breaker, a perpetual thorn in his paw...but is she also the greatest traitor that the shifter nation has ever known? Shocking new evidence seems to indicate that she's been secretly collaborating with a group of humans who were conducting experiments on shifters. When she's confronted, Isadora doesn't explain or defend herself - she goes on the run. Dash has no choice but to hunt her down, but as soon as he catches up to her, he discovers that someone's painted a big fat target on both of their hides. Can he keep the fiery tempered lynx shifter alive long enough to bring her to justice, and can he resist his growing attraction to the criminal who's vowed to flout the system for as long as she lives?

When Roxanne's car goes off the side of the road in a freak snow storm, Steele Battle comes to her rescue, but with a nice goose egg on the top of her head Roxanne is convinced that her handsome savior can't be real. After all he's able to lift her car, tear off the door and pick her big body up and carry her to the road where his car is waiting. 

While the blizzard rages on, Steele takes her to a friend's cabin to wait out the storm and give the young virgin a night she will remember for the rest of her life. After all it is Roxanne's dream and anything can happen.

After the weekend of her accident strange things begin to happen to Roxanne even though a year and half has passed Roxanne goes to find Steele Battle to get his help. The only problem is when she gets to Steele, she can't remember how she got there and what she needed his help with. 

Booth Steele and Roxanne are pretty classic characters, but what makes this story interesting is the secondary background story and the continuation of the series. As the storyline heats up the reason for the rules as to why shifters and humans should stay apart becomes more than clear. 

Description: 

Roxanne has suffered a concussion after a severe bump to the head, but that's okay - she's having the best hallucination ever. It involves being rescued by an incredibly handsome man who can turn into a wolf and lusts after her like no man ever has before.

In the second installment of the Timber Valley Pack, Ty Battle, cousin to Max Battle (Bride of the Alpha) and owner of the shifter club, The Zoo, fell for lynx shifter Karen over a year ago after she disappeared on him while they were getting reacquainted at his club. With her father in trouble with Ty's family pack now he has her right where he wants her.

When Karen's father was caught stealing from the Battles Ty give Karen a chance to get her father off. She has to move to his packs compound with her brother and sister, as well as work at his club as a waitress. Karen has been burned twice already by Ty and she doesn't want to spend any more time with him then she needs to, but she sees no other way to save her no good father. Now that Ty has her in his clutches, he's never letter Karen go, but with a father like Karen's it may be harder than he thinks to get her trust.

Well written, quick read for the second installment to the Timber Valley series. Great turn of events that will add to a secondary story for the rest of the series. Should be interesting to read how the series continues.

Ty is a strong alpha, but not quite as arrogant as Max's character. While I don't mind light BDSM, this case didn't really seem necessary in the story. Ty made a strong alpha, but the BDSM didn't seem part of his personality.

Description:

Cats and dogs don’t traditionally get along, but there’s one pussycat that Alpha shifter Ty Battle wants to set a-purrin’: sexy lynx shifter Karen Padfoot. Unfortunately, he’s got a terrible reputation as a player, and she’s scorned all of his advances after one interrupted encounter a year earlier. 

When she comes to the Battle compound to plead for the release of her troublemaking father, who stole from the Battle’s warehouse, he’s finally got his chance; she’ll have to work for him as a waitress at his nightclub to pay off her father’s debt. Karen may be hissing and spitting mad, but if Ty has his way, he’ll collar this sexy kitty for good. Unfortunately, someone else wants to cage the feisty feline, and Ty’s the only one who can keep her safe. Will Karen let her barriers down and trust the sexy bachelor with the bad boy reputation before it’s too late?

In an effort to help one of her college roommates, Camilla, wolf shifter Josephine Southpaw spends almost all her savings on a charm that will allow her to look exactly like Camilla. The idea is to save her friend from an arranged marriage to an alpha that Josephine has heard all kinds of rumors about. 

When she gets to the wedding, posing as Camilla, she soon realizes she isn't fooling the groom who insists on taking care of the marriage first thing. Josephine's plans are further ruined, when the pack alpha convinces Josephine to stay for just a little while longer for the safety of her friend. 

Just a nice overall book. The characters are nicely developed. Josephine is a big girl who has a lot of issues that stem back to her childhood. Alpha Max is a strong character that doesn't exactly play far and seems to have no problem with experience some hot sex scenes with Josephine, however since this is totally written in the first person on Josephine side readers don't have a good chance to examine, Max's character except that there is no doubt he is dominate and a strong alpha. This is the first in the series and would be interesting to see where the series continues. 

Description:

The Timber Valley pack has a terrible reputation. Word is their males are dominant, kinky, and possessive – and Josephine’s best friend from college is being forced to marry one? No way! 

Curvy wolf shifter Josephine Southpaw’s got the perfect solution. Using a magic charm, she’ll disguise herself as the slender, beautiful Camille on her wedding day – while Camille hightails it out of town with the wolf she really loves. Of course, the Alpha will ditch Josephine the second he gets her back to the wedding suite and sees what his chubby bride really looks like. What could possibly go wrong? 

Well, for starters, Alpha Maxwell Battle is smokin’ hot. And he takes one look at Josephine and vows to never let her go – but he’s going to punish her for her trickery in deliciously sexy ways. And finally, Josephine’s friends keep staging well-intentioned rescue attempts, but she’s no longer sure she wants to be rescued. 

But Josephine’s not the only one with secrets. It soon becomes very clear that Maxwell’s hiding something big, a secret that puts not only Josephine’s heart but her life at risk.
