WILD INTO LOVE Fairy Tales with Fangs,
CASE FILE #12

Some women find their fated mate across a candlelit restaurant.

These three find theirs in a sandstorm, a stampede, and an active volcano.

Wild Into Love is a collection of three complete paranormal romances set in the Fairy Tales with Fangs universe — where the Soulmate Registry is real, the talking animal sidekicks are credentialled, and fate has excellent taste in extreme terrain.

CLAIMED BY THE STORM

Senna North is the best rally driver on the circuit. She drives into the Sahara to prove it. She does not drive into sandstorms to rescue strangers on horseback.

She does it anyway.

Cormac Castlemaine had the situation under control. He will tell you this. He will tell you this clearly and at length. He will tell you this right up until the moment fate decides his wolf suppressant bracelet is no longer relevant to the conversation.

Tropes: fated mates · accidental bond · enemies to lovers · forced proximity · grumpy/sunshine

SAFARI MOON

Suzi Cole's wolf went quiet three years ago. She stopped asking why and built a life out of what remained — a long lens, a wildlife photography commission in Kenya, and a talking cat named Tuxedo who speaks seventeen languages and calculates her probability of death every forty-eight hours as a professional courtesy.

The fence between the two reserves develops a gap at exactly the wrong moment.

Or exactly the right one.

Tropes: fated mates · dormant wolf awakening · forced proximity · action romance · opposites attract

LOVE IN COLD LAVA

Simone Fontaine reads dead languages in the dark. She rescues cats from animal control at six in the morning. She follows threads that other people would rather she dropped.

The thread leads to a volcanic ridge, a man who has kept himself so intact that nothing has ever gotten through, and twenty-five pounds of Maine Coon with a talent for ancient linguistics and, in extreme circumstances, defeating dark magic.

Nothing is going according to plan. Her wolf doesn't care.

Tropes: fated mates · billionaire alpha · grumpy/sunshine · forced proximity · rescue mission

Each story includes a talking animal sidekick with professional credentials, a meet-cute that constitutes a genuine emergency, and a fairy godmother running the operation from a significant bureaucratic distance.

Readers of paranormal romance, wolf shifter romance, fated mates, and funny, action-packed shifter series will feel right at home.

My Review:

CLAIMED BY THE STORM features Senna North, a skilled rally driver who excels on the circuit, racing to cover her mother’s medical expenses. Cormac Castlemaine, an alpha wolf, is convinced he has everything under control, while Titan, a French Bulldog, serves as Senna’s talking animal companion.

While practicing for an upcoming race with Titan at her side, a sudden storm erupted, whipping up sand and drastically reducing visibility. Amidst the chaos, a man on horseback sped past, heading straight into the storm. Senna attempted to assist the horseman, inadvertently agitating him.

Believing he has everything managed, Cormac is unexpectedly thrown from his horse and rendered unconscious. Titan spots a suppressant bracelet on him and urges Senna to take it off. As soon as the bracelet is removed, Cormac quickly regains consciousness. The moment his wolf’s eyes meet Senna’s, he begins to shout, "mate!"

Cormac brings Senna and Titan to his home to introduce them to his family and pack. However, his father is furious with Cormac for bonding with a stranger. Their home soon comes under attack from another pack, scattering everyone in the aftermath of the battle.

I absolutely devoured Claimed by the Storm! Getting to know Senna, Cormac, and Titan was such a joy. I have to say, Titan is just adorable. I probably shouldn't call him that to his face, as I’m sure he wouldn't appreciate it! This was such a fantastic read, and I loved the character.

SAFARI MOON tells the tale of Suzi Cole, Maxwell Ashford, and Tuxedo, a talking cat.

For three years, Suzi’s wolf has been silent until she encounters an alpha wolf, Maxwell, during a zebra stampede she inadvertently triggered while attempting to rescue the zebras from a pride of lions poised to attack.

After the destruction of her pack, Suzi has been striving to carve out a new life. The wolf responsible for her pack's demise has been on her trail for years. She has been working hard to remain unnoticed, but he has tracked her down and intends to take her back.

However, she faces a dilemma; she cannot escape the wolf who has claimed her without her consent. Suzi never wished to be claimed or mated, and she is infuriated by the entire situation. Yet, I have my doubts that her wolf would share her sentiments.

Upon reading the summary of SAFARI MOON and discovering its African setting, I was eager to immerse myself in the story. I have a passion for TV shows that take place in Africa. I enjoy observing their way of life and the wildlife. Elephants hold a special place in my heart. My love for them blossomed when I encountered them at a fair once. I could sense their sorrow and see it reflected in their eyes.

I am excited to plunge into the next tale, LOVE IN COLD LAVA, to meet the characters and uncover the adventures that await them in the next addition to the Fairy Tales With Fangs series.

LOVE IN COLD LAVA tells the story of Simone Fontaine, Jude Ashford, Muffin, a talking Maine Coon cat, and Marcel.

Simone, a French archaeologist, is engaged in the Cathar excavation site, where she encounters Muffin and his owner, Marcel, who was working in one of the chambers when it unexpectedly collapsed. After eavesdropping on the individuals responsible for Marcel’s mishap discussing it over the phone, she decides to take Muffin and escape.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Simone and Muffin during the initial part of the story set in Paris. I found it fascinating to learn about their meeting and how they became colleagues. Simone possesses a huge heart and is an incredible person, always ready to assist others, regardless of the personal cost.

The twist in LOVE IN COLD LAVA sets it apart from other tales in the Fairy Tales With Fangs series. The world-building is refreshingly unique in various aspects. I adored all the characters, particularly Sophie, Jude’s seven-year-old daughter, who is portrayed as a clever and courageous little girl.

I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the Fairy Tales With Fangs series to meet new characters and their talking animal companions, eager to see where their journeys take them.

I wholeheartedly recommend all the stories in Wild Into Love to anyone who enjoys tales of fated mates and second chances at love. Be sure to grab a copy of Wild Into Love today for another exciting adventure in the Fairy Tales With Fangs series!
