I......am surprised that I liked this book. 2.5 stars 🌟🌟 🔅
I usually read something short and cheesy between heavy reads, and this popped into my KU so I was "Why not?"
Honestly, the story was not that bad, and it is free on Audible with membership.
However, the FMC was very very annoying and childish. She got better in the last chapters but the damage was already done.
Why? Why would a Librarian who has a Masters in education talk in that way???
Max's parts were much much better and what saved the book
I am going to read the rest in the series.

Bad Russian translations and misspelled ones at that. If your going to use another language make sure to get a native speaker to check it over. Max keeps calling Gal kiska which translates to pu$$y and is not consistently spelled Kiska it is also spelled Kriska in the book. it made me want to stop reading.

This book was so bad that it was kinda good. Obviously Award was aiming for it to be a raunchy adult romance, but she massively missed that mark. The whole book seemed to be put through a filter equivalent to a pre-teen's idea of a romance novel they just caught their mom reading. Even if the writing was much better, the plot is absolutely bonkers and unrealistic (and yes, I'm aware this is a hecking werewolf romance). The protagonists know each other for like two days before basically committing to spend their entire lives together. The plot was just a vessel for the spicy scenes and since neither of which were good, I was left laughing.
I have included a series of my favorite quotes that show the absurdity of the writing. Note that they do not have page numbers as they were transcribed from the unabridged audiobook.
"her ass showed just how much she like tasty beverages and tasty treats"
"the inside of that glass wasn't the only thing that was wet"
"when he flirted with Gal he wanted her to be anything but dry"
"the sound went straight to her girly parts"
"and smiled in a way that melted her panties right out from under her skirt"
(my personal favorite) "max dragged her hand down his six thousand pack abs, past the button of his jeans, twisting their hands so that it was cupping the tree branch he must have been hiding behind his zipper. Branch didn't do it justice. Log? Tree trunk? Sequoia??"
"to stop him from attacking the dick potato"

Gal is a human who falls in love with a wolf shifter Max. But wolf shifters can’t mate with humans, right? The book heats up as the conflict does with a pack war and broken rules. I love how supportive his mother is and how Max stepped into the role of protector, and that evolved into more. This book contains intense flirting, explicit scenes, and lots of violence. It also has some laugh-out-loud comedy and some genuinely romantic content. I love that they broke the rules in the name of love, and I think the author did a fantastic job of introducing the human and pack to us in a dual perspective. This book makes you fall in love with the characters. It was an enjoyable read with lots of naughty content. I was really surprised by the turn of events in the book. I was even more shocked by how they allowed love and the human gained some powers.
This is a series I will want to read more and thank goodness there is a second book.

Good but the plot moved fast and the climax of the book seemed to be skimmed over quickly
