Past My Defenses

Taming the Pack, Book 1

By: Wendy Sparrow

Narrated by: Scarlett Dorian

Vanessa is the fastest Lycan around. In wolf form, the only threat she can't outrun is her allergies. After a feline dander-bomb takes her down, she wakes up naked in a cage staring at a hot park ranger who had no idea what he'd trapped. But ooooh, he smells so good. Mine.

Dane hoped to tame the silver wolf in his kennel, but all bets are off with the deliciously sweet Vanessa on two legs. Her temper makes his pulse race, and he can't escape the feeling they belong together.

They're hot as a forest fire even before they scent-match, but Glacier Peak's Alpha considers Dane a danger to the pack. Meanwhile, Lycans are being poached, and Vanessa has been targeted. Dane will have to keep her close to protect her, but with Vanessa in heat and mad to mate, who will protect him?

Contains mature themes.

Well-written emotional fantasy drama

Great sympathetic characters. I liked the werewolf being female and the man being a park ranger. The relationship drama was excellent!

Great book, Narrator pulls it off

I already loved this book, and already had a "picture" in my head for what the characters sounded like. The main character was spot on. She was perfect. Especially her scratchy allergy voice. The men were passable. I have a little trouble with a woman doing a man's voice (we can't get our voices that deep!) But I didn't mind the narrator's men's voices. (I know that "didn't mind" and "passable" sound like weak compliments. But I'm a really hard sell. I once stopped reading a whole series because the narrator's man voice made me hate him.) I'm usually a full cast kind of girl but I'm glad I tried this narrator out. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
