My whole life is built on staying invisible.  She’s the first person who’s ever made me want to be seen.

Zoey Milano came to this mountain to disappear.  All I was supposed to do was watch her.

I’m failing at a task that should be simple.

She’s guarded.  Funny when she forgets to be careful.  Braver than anyone gives her credit for.

My pack’s first rule is secrecy above everything.  My heart just broke that rule for a woman who doesn’t even know what I am.

I can’t keep my distance anymore.  Not when my wolf demands to keep her safe.  And my mountain’s secrets are putting her in danger.

I buried the parts of me that let people in seventeen years ago.  Zoey Milano just dug them back up.

Title:  Fake Name, Real Wolf
Series:  ~Standalone~
Author:  Vixen Voss & Milly Taiden

My Rating:  4.5 stars

Fake Name, Real Wolf is a standalone title.  I’m enjoying this writing duo; their respective talents have created a fascinating world full of danger and secrets.  Zoey has come to the mountains to escape.  Her life has been upended through no fault of her own, and hiding is the only safe thing to do right now.  She never expected the impact her appearance in this small mountain community would have… or that she’d be drawn into a desperate fight not only for herself, but for people she’s come to care about and wants to protect.

I enjoyed Zoey and Kellan’s romance.  It’s well-written, engaging, emotional, passionate, and full of secrets and danger.  Watching emotional walls tumble and two people fight side by side for themselves and others made for an intriguing read.  If that sounds like your kind of Paranormal/Shifter Romance, then you’d enjoy Fake Name, Real Wolf.
