The first book was good, but this one was even better. It had my attention from start to finish and I had so much fun reading about Jace and Piper. While this book features a new couple, we still get to see the characters from book one as well and this book continues the suspense plot line that was set-up in book one and will probably continue in the next one as well. I thought this worked really well and it gives the series a good sense of continuity even with the focus shifting to another couple.
Jace and Piper are so good together. I really liked reading about these two. From that first slightly awkward scene at the start were they meet that showed their personalities till the satisfying scene at the end. These two were a lot of fun to read about and they were really good together. While the romance develops fast that didn't bother me as I certainly felt their romance and I liked them together. There's no unnecessarily drama and I liked seeing them open up to each other share their secrets and help each other deal with things.
Jace has a wolf that's out of control and goes wild when he shifts, so he doesn't. He can't submit to his alpha and he can't take a mate and sleeps with a lock on his bedroom. He's a good guy who cares about his family and when Piper shows up he wants to help and believes her intuition that something is wrong. Like Piper says he's a good guy through and through.
Piper is used to being alone and trusting only herself. She could run off a bit hot headed, but her heart was on the right spot and while it might seem reckless, she did think things through and knew what she was doing most of the time. She cares deeply for her brother Noah and when he goes missing, she has to find him no matter what it takes. Which is how she lands at the River pack safe house and meets Jace. Piper has had a bad childhood and it was heartbreaking to read what she has gone through. She has build a wall around her, not allowing anyone to get close. And it was amazing to see Jace slowly break down that wall and see her open up to him and then help him as well. These two got the best out of each other and I liked seeing them figure it all out and work together.
We get a bit more of a grip on the world here and it was interesting to see the suspense plot line continue about someone's who's capturing shifters. We learn a few new pieces here, but I am sure we haven't seen the last of them yet. There are some interesting revelations towards the end. Although I had hoped we would learn why Jace his wolf was so big as that never got explained. But maybe that's a piece that get revealed later.
To summarize: I really enjoyed reading this book! I really liked this couple and seeing them help and heal each other and deal with their respective secrets. They were both great characters with depth and personality and I I loved them together. Alisa Woods really knows how to write a great paranormal romance, this book has a solid story, great characters, shifting, romance and even a bit of a suspense storyline thrown in. The suspense storyline was set-up in the first book and I think it will continue in the next one as well. We get to see the couple from the first book again as well, which was fun. All in all I can't wait to read book 3 and see how it wraps this series up!

I enjoyed this story; I knew going in Jace was probably going to be my favorite because I really liked him in the first book. His past tortures him and this book we see more of this but also we see him merge from the past. I love books like that.
Piper is a pretty strong female lead which I also love she knows what she wants and she isn’t going to let anyone stop her. She is on a mission to find her brother and nothing is going to stop her.
Their relationship progressed so nicely it wasn’t instalove which I know sometime shifter books like to do. This was a lot smoother at least it was for me.
I really liked this narration I want more like it. I think both narrators did a great job, I would listen to them both again.

So Jace is huge huh?
I think this may have been my favorite in this series. Piper is independent, fiesty and damaged. Jace is commanding, gentle, patient, sexy, huge and damaged. Did I mention that he is sexy and huge? Lol, totally excited about book 3!

I was excited for Jace's story and was so happy that he got his HEA. Sometimes bad things just happen to bad people and it truly is going on in this story.

River Pack Wolves Book Two
When Piper Wilding shows up at the River Pack's safe house claiming that her brother, Noah, is missing, Jace immediately signs on to help rescue the other wolf. However, Piper's other brother, Daniel, isn't convinced. Piper knows she cannot wait on men to make a decision regarding her brother's life, so she steals Daniel's clearance pass and sneaks onto the military base to find answers. Daniel and Jace come to the rescue, but an old enemy makes an appearance and now Jace knows that Noah's disappearance might be connected to others.
Audio Review:
J. F. Harding and Laura Hopatcong could have been great narrators if the only characters they spoke for were the MCs. However, the secondary characters became somewhat cartoon-ish and mismatched. The two didn't seem to have any communication on voice for any of the characters.
If you're looking for a fast paced shifter adventure, this is the book for you!

Woah wtf was not expecting the bestiality at the end. Guess I should have read the reviews!
I have never read a shifter romance that actually included human on animal sexual activities so it was shocking and not my thing. Might not bother others but I wish the author hadn't decided to go there...went from 4 or 5 stars down to 3.
Spoiler
Starts with both MCs as wolves and she starts to give him a BJ, then she eventually changes to human and continues..!I have never read a shifter romance that actually included human on animal sexual activities so it was shocking and not my thing. Might not bother others but I wish the author hadn't decided to go there...went from 4 or 5 stars down to 3.

Jace was in the Army but nightmares from his final days in service mean he now has a lock on his bedroom door to keep him locked in, never risking shifting and determined never to take a mate and put them at risk from his killer wolf.
Piper Wilding still works for the Army but is a civilian travelling the world in her role in counterintelligence. She’s more than happy to do this as it keeps her away from her pack and especially from her father. She is also determined never to take a mate after what happened to her mother.
When Piper finds that her brother is missing, she’s determined to find him, using whatever means she can - including breaking into the River brothers’ safe house! Not a good move! When Jace discovers her, there’s instant attraction and they’ll be battling that as well as working to find Noah in this fast paced, action packed tale.
This starts out with a rescue mission that turns into a romance. It had a lot of action in the story. It is worth the read.

I listened to the audiobook and I like the male narrator but the I wasn't a fan of the females voice for this book. The female narrator has a great voice but it sounded so young to me that is was a put off.

I think I love this book even more than the 1st book in the series 🤗 Jace is sooo freaking hot I love him & Piper together. Piper is such a bad ass yet still super sweet an Jace is like a big fine teddy bear hard on the outside but soft on the inside. I can't wait to finish off the series with book 3!
