Wolf shifter Danny is tasked with making sure a certain pretty FBI agent doesn't find out about his kind. The only problem is once he meets FBI agent Amber, he realizes she's his mate and now he must decide how to tell Amber what he is and who she is to him.

Amber on her first undercover case after one that went really wrong, however he boss insists that this is a simple recon mission. There have been violent riots in this small town and it is her job to make sure that there isn't a national threat. 

Then Amber meets Danny. He's such a sweet person and she knows she's on assignment but it is hard to resist the man when he is being so persistent. 

This is the fifth installment to the Alpine Wolf Series. It is nice addition to the existing series, but it can be read alone. 

Description:

Will desire be enough once all their secrets are revealed?

Still recovering from a traumatic assignment, Amber is wary of the man who shows up at her door with a plate of cookies and a welcoming smile. Instinct warns her he’s not all he seems. Then again, neither is she. Since she was sent to root out the secrets of the town and its people, she might as well accept his invitation to dinner. But when things start to heat up between them, will her loyalty lie with her job, or the man trying to win her heart?

Danny knows Amber is an FBI agent. Tasked by his brothers and the shifter council to keep her from discovering too much, he sets out to seduce her, a perfect cover to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn’t learn about his pack or their society. He hadn’t counted on a blazing attraction at first sight, though. His wolf knows Amber is his mate, and he’ll do anything to keep her safe and happy. But how can he reveal everything he is, and everything he’s been keeping from her, without losing her forever?

In the continuation of the Alpine Woods Shifters, Sondrae Bennett tells the story of the fox premiere, Cody. Readers of the series will remember Cody from the first book in the series, Arctic Winds when Arctic fox Samantha becomes lost and wonders into Cody's territory. In Worth Fighting For, Cody still has feelings for Samantha but she is firmly in the wolf Alpha, Jason's, arms.

Cody's best friend Misty has always been there for him. She loves him and wishes they would be more than friends. That is something Cody hadn't really thought about until recently. When Misty makes a pass at Cody after a night of a little too much tequila he forgets the whole encounter.

Now Misty needs to decide if she wants to give up on Cody all together or continue on her quest, but after she becomes hurt and the two are thrust together, that decision might be taken away from her.

I've liked this series all along, but I think this is one of the best of the bunch. Good story line with a line of conflict and a good romance story.

Alpine Woods Shifters Book Four

All’s fair in love and war.

As leader of a fox skulk, Cody is used to feeling protective. But when his best friend, Misty, gets attacked, his panic has nothing to do with duty. Suddenly, he’s noticing Misty as a woman instead of the girl he grew up with. But pursuing those feelings would risk their friendship, something he's unwilling to do.

Misty's tried everything, without success, to convince Cody she's not "one of the guys". Yet now that he's looking at her like she always dreamed, he pulls away every time she gets close.

Danger lurks in the background, waiting to pounce. Someone plots against the foxes, leaving them all in jeopardy…especially Misty. Will Cody overcome his fears in time to save the woman he loves?

As the sister of three alpha wolf brothers and a sister, all who can shift, full human Julie has a bit of an inferiority complex. She's spent the past few years away at college hoping to met someone she can love, even though she knows she never feel the all consuming love of having her mate.

Branden, a wolf shifter from the Alpine Woods pack, has waited for what seems like forever for Julie to come back from college. He knew she was his mate before she left, but he never told her because he knew she really wanted to get her education. Now that she was home there was nothing stopping him from taking his mate. Nothing except for the fact that she thinks her sister is his mate and a stalker is after her.

Another wonderful story from the Alpine Woods Shifter series. We seem to be coming to the tail end of wolf shifter stories, but I really enjoy reading them. Sondrae Bennett has been doing a great job of keeping the shifter theme going while bringing in real life situations into the story. I really like the mix. The romance is great too. In The Wolf Within, both Julie and Branden seem to be a perfect match. I'm looking forward for the next installment.

Description:
Julie doesn’t know what to think when the man she’s had a crush on her entire life --a man she’s sure is meant to be mated to her sister-- hits on her after she returns home from college. But the harder she tries to distance herself from him, the harder he works to win her over. She knows he couldn’t want to mate with her, a freak who was born full human among shifters. So why won’t he accept her rejection?

Brendan has been waiting for his mate to return for years. Now that she’s finally home, there’s nothing that can keep him from her. Not even her three alpha wolf brothers. But he’s not the only one who’s after Julie. Something else wants to use her for its own evil purposes. Her need for protection allows him to get close, but at what cost? Will his love be enough to keep her safe?

In the second book from the Alpine Woods Shifters, readers get to hear brother, Ethan's, story. Ethan has vowed to get away from the woman in his town who are looking for a mate. He goes to a shifter resort and of course runs right into his mate...otter shifter Gwen.

Gwen is excited after spending the night with her shifter mate, but then she over hears his opinion of her and then is heartbroken. Taking off seems to be the right thing to do, until her mate chases after her and she winds up mated anyway.

This is a well written romantic series featuring strong heroes bringing them together with the best heroines for them. If you like shifter love stories, you'll want to check out this one.

Description:
He'll do whatever it takes to win back her trust.

A vacation is exactly what Ethan needs to escape the mate hungry females in his pack. Determined to have fun, he can’t think of a better way to start than sampling all the different flavors the shifter only resort has to offer, and not the food variety. But after he meets Gwen, no one else holds any interest for him. Ethan came on vacation to avoid mating. There’s no way he’s going to give up his freedom without a fight.

Gwen is devastated when she hears her mate denying everything they are to each other. She can’t sit by, watching him fool around with other girls at the resort. Or worse, crawl back, unable to resist the mating pull but not really wanting her. She needs to get away and her own vacation sounds like the perfect plan. But she should have remembered what her mother always taught her, never run from a predator unless you want them to chase you. The hunt is on…

Hungry and sick Samantha stops in a strange town unaware that the town is inhabited by a wolf pack. As an arctic fox shifter, Samantha has heard many stories of stumbling in the path of other shifters. When she meets the pack's leader and faints in her arm all she can do is hope she makes it out of town alive.

Jason doesn't know what to make of the little shifter who just fainted in his arms, but he knows he wants her to stick around town for a while so that he can get to know her. His wolf is telling him she's the one he just hopes she sticks around town long enough so that he can convince her of that.

Well done first release for Sondrae Bennett. She has a nice writing style. The book was short, but well plotted and presented with enough of a storyline to keep the reader interested. Will be fun to keep the story going in a series about the rest of Jason's family.

Description:
Nothing will stop a wolf once he’s found his mate…not even her own doubts.

After her skulk abandoned her four years ago, Samantha knew she would never truly be wanted. When she accidentally stumbles into a wolf town and is asked by their premier to stay, she believes it’s the novelty of an arctic fox motivating him. She knows she’ll be on her own again once he tires of her.

Jason finds himself pulled to Samantha from the moment she faints in his arms. His wolf is calling to him, telling him he’s found their mate and the heat he feels for Samantha is impossible to resist. But his little fox is loaded down with emotional baggage and doesn’t believe she’s worthy of love. Can he overcome her fears? Or will pack jealousies and the local foxes convince her she doesn’t belong with him before he has a chance?
