Average rating3.3
When a princess is kidnapped by an alpha , war rages between the humans and the wolves. But soon, forbidden attraction starts to grow. . .
Princess Aurora longs to escape the castle and the marriage that has been arranged for her.
But on the night before her wedding, at a dog fight where captured werewolves are made to fight for sport, she spares the life of a young wolf. It puts her on the radar of the powerful alpha who was going to kill him. And it changes everything.
That night, when the alpha escapes, he kidnaps her and takes her to the rugged lands north of the border — where the once warring werewolf clans are beginning to unite. He thinks that she is the key to winning the war against the humans.
Only, as they spend time around one another, forbidden attraction starts to grow. And as Aurora learns that not all wolves are bad, the alpha discovers that she is in danger from both his enemies, and those he once considered friends.
With monsters on both sides, a bloodthirsty war between humans and wolves raging, and undeniable passion growing between them — will their story end in love? Or tragedy?
And will Aurora ever get home?
Does she even want to?

I am on a never-ending quest to find more well-written werewolf romance books. They are surprisingly hard to find, especially when you're extremely picky about how werewolves work.
The Wolf King hit almost all of my favorite werewolf tropes in such excellent ways that I'm honestly wondering if the author can read my mind. This was so much fun to read. The Wolf King takes place in a fictional UK (I think it's fictional? I can't remember if they say any real places, but I'm fairly certain the author used mostly vague terms.) The werewolves are seemingly Scottish (which I looooove), while the “bad guys” are mostly English. I think. So yeah, just picture a bunch of werewolves running around in kilts and saying things like ‘wee lass'. [shrug]
Completely unashamedly, it does it for me.
ANYWAY, I absolutely adored Callum, our MMC. He hit all the high points – alpha, big and scary looking but with a soft gooey center. He rescues our FMC, Aurora from what would have been an absolutely horrible abusive marriage. Aurora is kind of a wimpy damsel in distress until she finally gathers herself together and becomes BOLD. They run away up to quasi-Scotland and there she learns what it's like to live around a bunch of wolves who hate humans. It's great. They slowly fall in love, and then things get steamy and yada yada yada. The usual romance stuff.
The characters are just perfect. I would read about a thousand different versions of this same type of story. Please just inject this into my veins. Five stars.
