When female wolf shifter Taryn Warner first encounters Trey Coleman, an alpha male wolf shifter with a dangerous reputation, she’s determined to resist his charms. After all, Trey—who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack—can’t have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks.
Taryn finds herself drawn in by Trey’s forceful demeanor and arctic-blue eyes, and she eventually agrees to enter an uneasy alliance with him. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they’ve chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.
But there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan—including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.

It happens whenever wolf shifter Roni Axton is near Marcus Fuller: a crackle of sexual awareness that’s intoxicating…and deeply annoying. Marcus is a pack enforcer who oozes power, but Roni is lethal in her own right—nothing like the flirty females who flock around him. Even still, his possessive gaze makes one thing clear. Marcus has singled her out for seduction, and he wants to make her sit up and beg.
No matter how aloof and unfazed Roni acts, Marcus can tell she wants him. When a brutal attack by a jackal pack forces them to work together, it’s the perfect opportunity for Marcus to chip away at her defenses—until he falls into his own trap, completely unprepared for the intensity of their connection. Roni is the only one who’s ever seen past his shifter charm and discovered the man hiding beneath it. And for Marcus, claiming Roni once will mean needing her forever.

FERAL SINS
DNF @ 6%
I barely finished chapter 1, and couldn't continue.
The narration was too heavy-handed, with banal and too abundant descriptions, everything came across as too "introspective", and the heroine sounded more like a teenager than a young adult. I like snark, but this was too much.
The premise or the "plan" was rehashed and flimsy, and everything looked like it was there for mere form and nothing more substantial.

I only read this one because I hate not leaving a review on NG. And I actually got to the middle of chapter 2, before the story lost me.
The narration was yet again rather heavy-handed and clumsy, the descriptions too abundant and quite banal, the heroine one more sounded like a bratty teenager, the "suspense" didn't really convince me, and in the second half of the second chapter there were so many characters thrown in, I couldn't keep up with who was who and why they were all there.
I simply wasn't invested, and got bored.
