Deep in the heart of New Orleans, Acadian Wolves’ Alpha, Logan Reynaud, rescues a beautiful woman in the dead of night. Intrigued by the mysterious human, the commanding Alpha is determined to elicit all of her secrets, including her deepest fantasies. After tragedy strikes, Logan discovers dangerous adversaries are planning an attack in his city. Driven by responsibility and honor, Logan must protect both his pack and the woman who’s captivated his attention.

Dr. Wynter Ryan, a leading virologist, is fascinated with her charismatic protector. As the chemistry ignites between her and the dominant Alpha, she relinquishes her ties to the past, embracing ecstasy and submission within his arms and intrepidly acquiescing to her own adventurous instincts. Succumbing to desire, she learns to trust her Alpha, discovering what it means to be wolf.

Passion and mystery on the bayou stirs Logan’s wolf, demanding he claim his mate. Yet Wynter’s a distraction he can’t afford when his priority is to lead his new pack. Will Logan surrender to the uncontrollable need to claim Wynter as his mate? And will he be able to keep her alive, finding the killer who threatens the Acadian Wolves?

EXCERPT:

Logan quietly padded out of the house. While he prided himself on knowing how to move stealthily in the most dangerous of situations, he hoped she’d scent him right away. Yet Wynter seemed oblivious to his movement. It seemed strange that she didn’t even notice him. Most wolves would have immediately reacted. He slowly waded into the water, never taking his eyes off of her. He could hear from her heartbeat that she wasn’t quite sleeping; day dreaming perhaps? Time to wake his little wolf.
Wynter startled at the sound of a splash. She quickly pushed up onto her elbows and scanned the area but didn’t see anyone. Just as she was about to recline, she caught sight of the most glorious vision she’d ever seen. Oh. My. God. Logan. Before her eyes, his six foot five, tanned, muscular body rose from the water like a dripping hot Greek God. Stunned and captivated, she watched as the beads of water rolled off his smooth skin. Unable to control the impulse, her eyes roamed over his wet body from his broad muscular shoulders to the hard ridges of his abdomen. The very smallest dusting of hair trailed down into the water, where she was quite certain she’d find him naked.
Logan laughed out loud at her reaction, snapping her attention back to his face. He shook his shaggy hair and water sprayed all over her legs. She flinched slightly but didn’t look away. He
was simply the most magnificent male she’d ever seen. Immediately, she pulled her legs together, as desire rushed to her belly. She didn’t need an expert to tell her the shark in the water was hungry. She knew he was dangerous, ravenous for his next meal. And oh how she wanted to be bitten. At a loss for words, she returned his smile, waiting for him to speak.
Logan watched her take in the sight of him and tried so very hard to ignore the signs of her arousal. He found it amusing the way she tightened her thighs together in an effort to remain composed. Ah yes, little wolf, the Alpha knows what you want, but will you give it to me? Let’ s see where this takes us. Smiling, he approached slowly and smoothly, making her wonder what he’d do next.
He enjoyed keeping her on her toes. And now that she’d had time to relax, to be lulled into a false sense of security, he intended to take advantage. As his cock jerked, he wondered, though, who was going to take advantage of who.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

After four books the Immortals of New Orleans series is still going strong with intense emotions, steamy sexual interludes, and on the edge of your seat action.  In this installment becoming an Alpha is one struggle after another for Logan after the loss of his best friend has pushed him into taking control of the Acadian pack.  From the recurring challenges to his authority to the dreams of a beautiful woman whose throat is ripped out, Logan just wants to keep his pack healthy, happy, and living in peace with the vampires.  Unfortunately, a traitor from within their pack and a jealous and vindictive vampire are on the cusp of creating a virus aimed at killing werewolves with the unwitting assistance of the lovely Wynter.  Once Logan lays eyes on the damsel in distress Wynter he not only saves her life but claims her as his own.  With their future uncertain their HEA is in danger from his dreams of her death while trying to outwit a madman and his nefarious plan.

Logan is an admirable alpha who wants only to protect those loyal to him.  Many she-wolves have thrown themselves at him but none of them have meant more than comfort and a good time.  Wynter makes him crave something more.  He's drawn to her and is compelled to know more about her after finding her bloody with numerous vampire bites marring her body.  His wolf side knows immediately that she's his mate but he fights it at first as he wants honesty between them and he knows she's hiding many things from him.  The sexual tension between them is palpable from the very start as he slowly brings out her animal side through many hot and heavy moments of foreplay.  He's immensely sexy in these moments with his animal magnetism radiating off him.  He's also extremely jealous about every other male except for his beta Dimitri who is practically a brother to him.  He and Dimitri are a formidable team which also allows time for humorous and playful manly banter.  Logan is a compelling character who is undeniably strong and smart, yet unashamed to show heartfelt emotions and tears when Wynter is in jeopardy and it definitely makes him drool-worthy.

The human Wynter's parents died when she was young which led the New York pack leader Jax to take her in and place her under his protection.  He kept her sheltered and a bit naive about the true nature of wolves so her instant and intense connection to Logan frightens her.  She's already living in fear after being abused by vampires while being kept in captivity for her knowledge of virology, so being taken into a strong and strange man's home unsettles her even more.  To make the situation worse, a crazed vampire changed her DNA so she'll soon become a wolf herself.  Her hormones are heightened thus the attraction to Logan keeps intensifying to where she's soon begging him to take her.  Her feelings of jealousy are also compounded which makes even more problems for their relationship with so many people surrounding them at all times making for some humorous territorial exchanges.  She's constantly struggling with her human half and wolf half and her loyalty to her old pack and need to find a cure for the disease afflicting her wolf friend which puts her life in jeopardy and brings Logan's dream prophecy even closer in the story's heartpounding conclusion.  She's a strong heroine who makes some missteps at first with understanding wolf hierarchy but becomes a proper Alpha-mate willing to kill for her man.

The sexual encounters are numerous throughout the story with each one varied and gaining in intensity as Logan and Wynter get closer.  Their wolf sides are very sexual which is made clear through a super hot menage after Wynter's first shift.  There's a large cast of secondary characters both wolf and vampire who are unique and memorable.  Two particularly stand out and have me dying to learn more about them.  The first is the super sexy Dimitri who enjoys seeing his friend struggle with romance.  He's snarky, funny, yet loyal to a fault.  He's a mediator at times which is surprising given his playful nature, but everything he does is in support of Logan.  I long to see the time he finds his mate and the payback Logan is sure to inflict on him.  The vampire Leopold is also intriguing with his old-fashioned debonair ways and the sense of sadness and loss lurking behind his gentlemanly manners.  He's willing to put his life on the line to help Logan and Wynter reach their HEA while an unexpected find at the end of the story points to a dramatically altered future for him.  The suspense and identity of the villains is well done, though their reasons for banding together are a bit muddled, creating many pulse-pounding scenes and on the edge of your seat action.  The creation of a virus promises complications for the future of all packs and I look forward to how this affects future installments.  Ms. Grosso has written yet another immensely satisfying shifter story that even newbies to the series can enjoy and I highly recommend it to fans of the paranormal.

My rating for this is an A-
