He’s hunting for the wolf who bit him, but then he meets her. Will he break through her walls and get her to give him a chance, or will she push him away?

West Castillo came to Crescent Creek hoping to find the man who gave him a wolf he didn’t ask for. A beast of a creature he’s constantly trying to keep in check. But when he bumps into a beautiful woman, suddenly, his wolf goes still and silent. West isn’t sure what to make of it; all he knows is that he has to see her again.

Cherry Grant finally feels settled. Her previous life has faded away, and the new beginning she was promised when she became a wolf shifter is now her reality. But then, a handsome stranger enters her life with the ability to destroy all she’s built and tear down the walls surrounding her delicate heart.

When the two are tossed into a dangerous situation, West and Cherry must rely on their wits and each other to escape. But will working together open Cherry’s heart to something more?

Title:  Hesitation of a Wolf
Series:  Dark Moon Pack #
Author:  Jennifer Snyder
Published:  March 27, 2023
My Rating:  4.5

I had such fun reading Hesitation of a Wolf, the third title in the Dark Moon Pack series.  West is searching for one man, one nasty wolf who changed his life forever… and not in a way that West asked for.  He’s tracked him down to this area, but his hunt will become secondary when he actually bumps into a fascinating woman, one his wolf is definitely interested in.

I adored Cherry.  She’s recreated her life, she feels safe now, and she’s not backing down from anything.  Certainly not from the attraction she and her wolf feel after spilling coffee at the feet of one handsome man.  West might be a stranger, but he feels like so much more.  West doesn’t understand his wolf’s need for this woman, but then, West doesn’t really acknowledge his wolf all that often.  But right now, he’d be wise to pay attention to the beast he keeps on a tight rein.

Add in some protective posturing by friends, a lot of danger, and a pack of misfits that complete each other in a way that no others else can do.  You’ll be captivated by Cherry and West, and their fast romance will have you laughing throughout their story.  I love the bantering with the pack and the closeness that continues to grow in this newly formed wolf pack.  If that sounds like a Paranormal or Shifter Romance that you’d love then dive into the Dark Moon Pack series right now.  I’m betting you won’t regret it one little bit.
