The Wolf King: A Fantasy Romance

Speechless. Dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. Utterly gobsmacked and yet so darn giddy!This book is one of the best Romantasy books I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a very longgggg time. Truly!It has it all.🐺 Outlander with Werewolves🐺 Kidnapped Princess🐺 Powerful Alphas🐺 Banter, so much banter🐺 Forbidden Attraction / Tension🐺 Golden Retriever MMC & Dark Mysterious MMC🐺 Political Intrigue🐺 Slow-burn to SpicyyyyyyyI am SO in love with Callum. He is the perfect MMC. He loves fiercely, is overprotective without becoming overbearing or overly possessive. He is a natural born leader with a heart that is both sincere and kind. He is willing to unalive anyone who dares hurt Aurora “Rory” but also allows her to fight her own battles as the strong FMC that she is.There is so much character development in Aurora “Rory” that it is fascinating to “watch”. She begins as a pampered, sheltered and naive princess but ends as a woman who will no longer allow herself to be shackled by the expectations of the men around her. She becomes her own person.Blake is such an interesting character. He is the epitome of the “villain” we hate to love. On one hand, he is conniving and his actions can be seen as despicable but on the other, he does and says things which lead you to believe that there is so much more to him and there is good to be found within him.I am so excited to continue this duology in The Night Prince and see what is in store for Callum, Rory and Blake.I wish I could rate this book higher than 5 stars because it truly earned it.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is so good. It has a good build up for the spice and the character development is well done. It’s one of those books that the characters and story are just living in your mind. You wonder what they’re up too and wishing to be in that world. It’s wolves in kilts with accents. I mean delicious. I had seen someone say it gives some Acotor meets games of throne meets outlander vibes and I would agree. It was an easy to devour read I read it in a day and a half because I have little kids I could have read it faster. I also preordered the audio book so I can listen to it and read it again! If you like were books read this one it will not disappoint.

This book is a must-read for any romantasy fan. It features a brilliant combination of richly developed characters, an engaging plot, and wonderfully spicy moments. I was completely engrossed from beginning to end and it lingered in my thoughts long after I finished reading. It's clear the author is a skilled storyteller, and I eagerly anticipate diving into more of her enchanting works.

This book was SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!! After reading ACOTAR & "Throne of Glass" series, as well as "Quick Silver" along with many others, those being my top favorites, I have been on the hunt for the best/addicting fantasy romance books I can find. And I'm not just into any romantic fantasy, I need to fall in love with the characters, I want to laugh & cry and feel all the emotions with them! Anyway that being said "The Wolf King" is most definitely one of my new favorite books! I did noticed several spelling, grammatical errors but other than that it was easy to follow and I loved it so much that the errors didn't really effect my opinion at all. The main characters have such a sweet, innocent, straightforward quality that I loved so much! Callum just makes my heart so happy!!!♥️♥️♥️

Wonderfully engaging, page turner, beautifully written story..can’t wait for book 2

I just finished a reread of The Wolf King in preparation for book 2, and it is an awesome and top tier wolf romantasy that I would absolutely recommend. The story centers around Princess Aurora, who is stolen from her bed the night before her wedding by an enemy Alpha wolf, Callum. As Aurora finds herself behind enemy lines in the war between humans and wolves, and a forbidden attraction grows with Callum, she is forced to evaluate what she wants in her bid for freedom, and whose side of the war she is on.What you can expect…🐺 Outlander with Werewolves🐺 Kidnapped Princess🐺 Powerful Alphas🐺 Forbidden Attraction🐺 Political Intrigue🐺 Slow-burn to SpicyI really, really enjoyed the 3 MCs of this book and how their relationships developed. While I am often times not a big fan of the “virginal and delicate FMC who is helpless” and find that character type annoying, Lauren paints Aurora partially in this light, but with a hidden steel that makes her character so much more interesting and I absolutely loved the strength and development of her character. Callum, is the epitome of an overprotective beast with a gooey center when it comes to Aurora, and I adore his devotion, kindheartedness, and sheepishness while trying to be enough for her, all while being super gruff and manly in his kilt. 😍 Then there’s Blake, who is the deliciously damaged dark horse of the bunch, and I am so interested in cracking beneath the surface of his conniving/devil-may-care attitude to learn more about his past and future plans. Between the two men, I don’t know how it’ll work, but I’m hoping for a why choose at this point… they are so different, but the chemistry and tension are wild!I decided to listen to the recently released audiobook for this reread, and Zara Hampden-Brown and Shane East do an absolutely phenomenal job bringing this story and these characters to life. If you’re an audiobook listener, I highly recommend you check it out!

I finished this book in two days. I was hooked from the first chapter! The story, the characters, the world, the spice… it’s all great! Can’t wait to read The Night Prince next.

Great read! Couldn’t put it down! Lots of twists and turns. Got pretty spicy in last half. Excited to read the second book!
