Blurb/Synopsis:
Paige Donovan is an ambitious college graduate who aspires
to reach the top of the corporate ladder. She’s climbing fast when given the
promotion of a lifetime at a prestigious fashion magazine in New York City. Her
bright future comes to an unexpected halt after news of her father’s death. She
inherits his old cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and just when she thinks her
luck couldn’t get any worse, she has a car accident in the mountains and
awakens in the small, remote community of Black River.
Soon, she’s engulfed in the mystical world of
Varulv---wolves descended from 13th century Scandinavia and blessed by Norse
gods with the ability to appear human. Paige is desperate to return home, but
never expects to fall for her rescuer, Riley Gray, a charming young werewolf
from England who offers her an alternate future with his pack.
Now, she must choose between the career she’s always wanted
and the love she’s always dreamed.
I stole a glance at him while he looked at the river. He
leaned back casually on his elbows, and I couldn't help but admire his six-pack
abs and toned chest. Little, brown moles spotted his torso, and I imagined
playing connect-the-dots with my tongue. His skin enticed me, and I wanted to
run my hands all over it. A lustful feeling washed over me, and I swallowed
thickly, averting my gaze.
Riley chuckled low in his throat, and I knew he caught me
staring. His hand touched my lower back, and I looked at him over my shoulder.
A grin spread across his lips as he tugged the shirt hem.
"This is my shirt, isn't it?" My eyes widened, and
I whipped my head around. In less than two seconds, my face flushed with heat.
"Um, yes," I mumbled. "Sorry. I borrowed it,
because Quinn's clothes were too small for me, and I didn't feel comfortable
browsing through Celia's wardrobe." The latter reason was a lie. I was just
determined to cover myself with his clothes.
"No worries. I don't mind," he soothed. "You
can borrow whatever you want. What's mine is yours, love."

Favorite Lines “You’re proof not all humans are bad, so
it wouldn’t make sense to hate all of you.”
“Please…I…beg you. Give me…a chance…to love you.”
“I would die…before…I let anyone…have you.”
“I want you to listen to me. I’m glad you came. I’ve
loved every day we spent together…from the first day we met to this moment,
now. I’m happiest when I’m with you. I don’t want you to have any regrets,
because I don’t.”
What a fabulous Varulv love story! This is a love we all
hope to have and wish to experience!
Paige is a city girl who went to this fabulous cabin when
she was younger and played with a wolf pup, now that she's older she's been
dreaming about the pup. When her father dies and leaves her that cabin she goes
to check it out. What she didn't expect was to see that wolf again. Then all
hell breaks lose when she gets in accident.
Riley can't believe she is back! Paige is here. He has
thought of nothing but her for all his life. Can he win her over when she finds
out he is Varulv!?
I enjoyed this book, it was a easy read that had me
shedding a few tears. I am not sure how I feel about ending though, I would
like to see a next book to see what happens with that pack.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review
