Title:  Ally’s Wolf
Series:  Maid for the Shifter #1
Author:  Charlene Perry
Published:  June 30, 2022
My Rating:  4.5 stars

Ally’s Wolf begins the Maid for the Shifter series with a storyline that intrigues, characters who invite you in to learn more of their world, and steamy chemistry that leaps off of the pages.  I’ve not read this author’s work before yet I was easily captured by the idea of Adam and his pack, Ally and her friends, and watching this couple come together almost against their own will was a delightful and fascinating experience.

I liked the lore of this world as well.  And to dive too deeply into those thoughts would lead to possible spoilers that you should uncover yourself.  Ally might be “only” human but she’s strong, stubborn, and not easily pushed around as Adam quickly discovers for himself.  I really enjoyed the growth of Adam throughout their story, his changes in attitude were obvious as we watched his struggles and he came to the conclusions about what was most important in his life.  His mate, first, last, and always.

Of course, Ally’s Wolf is sinfully sensuous this is most definitely a sizzling, sexy romance.  Yet, we’re also discovering just how deeply a wolf in this world can love, and that knowledge is a fun journey.  I happen to love watching a strong Alpha fall without losing his power but with a better understanding of emotions and his pack.

I really enjoyed myself here and will be waiting for Kira’s Wolf to release close to the end of the year.  If you love a good, solid plot, a sexy romance, and a storyline that keeps you on your toes then checking out this story and series should be on your radar.
