If they want his immortality—they’ll have to take it…in the second deeply sexy and bold Lone Wolf Legacy series from New York Times bestselling author N.J. Walters
I’m used to other wolves coming for me. They want their chance to try and take out the infamous Gray Wolf. And every single one of them fails—because lone wolves aren’t like the others…we’re stronger. Harder. Meaner. Immortal.
But it also means I’m alone. No pack. No alpha. Just the three of us—white, gray, and black. Two too many, if you ask me.
But with power-hungry mages gunning for us, I don’t have the luxury of reflection. They’re in New York City, and I Will. Hunt. Them. Down.
Which is when I see her, and every cell in my body is on alert, filled with the kind of primal longing I never knew I was capable of. Luna West may be human, but there’s some kind of thread connecting us. Call it destiny, fate…or voracious animal hunger.
I know she’s bait. She’s meant to tempt me, to make me weak. But even if I could resist her, I’m not sure I want to.
Because I’ve never denied my wolf anything…especially the chance to raise some serious hell.
And I’m not about to start now.
Each book in the Lone Wolf Legacy series is STANDALONE:* Taming the White Wolf* Protecting the Gray Wolf

Back in August I read the first book in the Lone Wolf Legacy Series. It wasn’t my first N.J. Walters book, so I knew this was an author I enjoyed reading books from. So when I received an ARC invite for ‘Protecting the Gray Wolf’ I definitely wanted to read it. Although this book is a standalone, I’d recommend reading it in order since there is talk about previous characters.

In ‘Protecting the Gray Wolf’ we read the story of Kade, a.k.a. the Gray Wolf and Luna. Kade has been the Gray Wolf for a long time and he is used to being alone. Their aren’t a lot of people out there he can trust, since everyone seems to be after him. And when Kade meets Luna, he knows an evil Mage made sure Kade and Luna would be attracted to each other. At first he is determined to keep his distance from Luna. But when he realizes the kind of person Luna is, he isn’t so sure he can stay away from her. Especially when her life is in danger.

Luna has been abandoned by her family from the moment she was born. She grew up in boarding schools, and with the help of nanny’s. For years now, she has had this fascination with a Gray wolf. As an artist Luna has been painting and drawing a wolf for a long time. So when her boss decides Luna can show of her painting on an open gallery night she is beyond excited. Especially when a handsome guy walks in interested in buying it. From the moment Luna meets Kade she knows there is more to him than you see at first. And the chemistry between them is just crazy!

After loving the first book in the series, I was really excited to start reading this one. ‘Protecting the Gray Wolf’ definitely is a very fun read. Just as with every book by N.J. Walters I read, there is no slow introduction. Right from the very first page we are back in the middle of things. Somehow, this always seem to work for this author, and I enjoyed getting to know Kade and Luna.

This book is written through both Kade and Luna’s point of view, which was really fun. Both characters have trouble trusting people, but when they learn they are both in danger they are forced to take a leap of faith. The chemistry between them was fun, and something you could definitely feel coming of the pages. There was romance, action and a bit of mystery and I really had fun reading this book. The paranormal aspect was so fun. Wolves, witches and magic.. Those are some great subjects if you ask me.

I did wish this book didn’t go as quickly at times though. Everything seems to happen in only a few days, and it all feels a bit to much for such a short of amount of time. Especially for two people with trust issues. But overall I definitely enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to reading the third book.

About N.J. Walters

Once upon a time N.J. had the idea that she would like to quit her job at the bookstore, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown, and write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did. Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and settled in for another seven years.

One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first erotic romance novel and life would never be the same.

N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.
