FERAL PASSIONS (A Feral Passions Novel) by Kate Douglas

Welcome to Feral Passions, a luxurious private resort nestled in a preserve and staffed by dangerously sexy men, making it a haven for women who want to get away from it all. But Feral Passions is a front for a deeper, sexier secret-it's a hunting ground for these men. Men focused on meeting each woman's every need. Men who are also the beautiful wolves running wild...and who are looking for mates.

Chereza Dubios is more comfortable solving math equations than she is with her voluptuous body and meeting men. But when her younger sister and best friend trick her into vacationing at Feral Passions, Cherry finds herself attracted and torn between two men who find her curvy body and intelligent mind irresistible. Two men who share a secret-they want to share her.

But that takes trust-can Cherry open herself to love with two sensual and powerful werewolves?

THE ALPHA'S WOMAN (A Wolf Mates Novel) by A.C. Arthur

Kira Radney is all delicious curves and strong will and has no desire to be a subservient mate. When a member of her father's pack attempts to make her his mate by force, Kira has no choice but to flee. The last thing she wants is to submit to any male and their pack. But when her escape attempt leads her straight into the arms of an alpha wolf-a sexy, dangerous, protective alpha-Kira must fight against her need to be free, and her secret desire to be controlled...

Anthology which contains stories about werewolves written by two different authors.

FERAL PASSIONS

It's a Nice story and very very hot. Werewolves thought a unique way to promote the meeting with their possible mates: they created an exclusive resort that accepts as clients only six women at a time. The activity is managed only by werewolves males dealing with guests' needs and meanwhile they try to discover whether any of them has affinities with the wilderness of the land of the Pack and especially to study their reactions compared with the wolves.

In this case, the heroine is a beautiful young woman, Cherry, who is courted by two werewolves who discover in her the mate they always dream about, a true ménage.

On this holiday Cherry decides for once to indulge with their passion, without fears and complexes for her body full of forms, but she allows to   be seduced by the two men who seem to have eyes only for her.

It's a nice story, sensual, full of eroticism but also very sweet. An enjoyable fast read.

RATING: 3.5 stars

THE ALPHA'S WOMAN

This story intrigued me more than the previous.

Kira is an alpha female who decides to escape the fate held in store for her by her father, who wants to force a mating between Kira and one of his betas, for pure interest. Sick of being considered merely as a pawn, without anyone showing for her the slightest consideration, Kira escapes, only to find herself trapped by another Pack of werewolves.

It's a story full of mystery, tied mostly to the past of Blaez, this pack's alpha, which is part of an enemy faction of Kira's father.

Between him and Kira there's a strong pull toward esch other, but for this the girl wants to run away even more, while the rest of Blaez's Pack believe she's a spy, sent to kill their alpha.

A real battle of wills between two alpha, Kira and Blaez,  which involves them in a very hot story with a pinch of BDSM.

Mythology and tales about werewolves come together to form a fascinating short-novel, as Blaez, the compelling and broody alpha of this pack.

I would have liked a longer story for this novel.

 Rating: 4 stars
