Wulf

Mail-Order Brides of Crakair, Book 5

By: Ava Ross

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Tawnia Murray

He's a rough Vikir warrior. She's a mostly proper librarian. Can an Earthling woman and a green-scaled alien find love together in the stars?

After she's kidnapped by blue-skinned aliens, Taylor escapes and bails from an alien space station in a shuttle she has no clue how to drive. She crash lands on a nearby planet made up mostly of jungle. Once she finds her way off the planet, she's determined to return to Earth. Until Wulf, her Crakairian "mate", comes to her rescue. He says he won't fight her if she wants to return home, but that doesn't stop him from trying to change her mind. He's gruff and scaly and much too appealing. And his kisses? If she could keep her hands off him, she might be able to think straight. But with jungle creatures trying to eat them, going home might not be an option.

As head of his Vikir clan's warrior regiment, Wulf is scarred and unrefined, the exact opposite of his sweet female mate who speaks in a sophisticated manner and loves books. When she tells him she's thinking of returning to Earth, he decides to show her what she'll be missing, even if he can only do this in a rough and bumbling way. But with jungle creatures hunting them, their biggest challenge will be escaping the planet.

Wulf is book five in the Mail-Order Brides of Crakair series, but it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

amazing storyline! lots of acfion and love intertwined

This story would be perfect if there was duel narration and not chapter for chapter

Ava Ross’s Best Series By Far

Book 5 of this series is by far the sweetest & most heartfelt, with added depth & dimension that still gives us the fun adventure and trademark LOL humor. We find Wulf & Taylor stranded on a hostile alien planet, with all kinds of interesting creatures wanting to eat them, the evil winged blue aliens hunting them, and a cameo appearance from some unexpected allies we met in the previous book.

Taylor is sweet, smart and sassy. Wulf is a strong, earnest, sexy, cinnamon roll warrior who makes some hilarious language goofs. Taylor and Wulf are both courageous, confident, and self assured, with each having one specific insecurity. What makes this book special is the tender transparency and vulnerability they show to one another, and the compassionate validation and support they give one another as their relationship grows. Taylor is able to see herself in a new way as Wulf reflects back to her his vision of how truly amazing and special she is. Likewise, Taylor does the exact same thing for Wulf. And let’s not forget the steam factor! The oasis scenes are ❤️‍🔥🥵🔥🌶️

Teddy and Tanya are both extremely talented voice performers who bring this story to life with their amazing narration.

Good

Not my favorite one the girl was annoying at first but by the end I liked her and I wondered if they ever took those books to the carpet like creatures

Don’t let the negative comments sway you.

I’m giving this book 4.25 stars because thought the characters were well developed, it tackled an important issue in a balanced way, and it was generally a good listen. I subtracted from a star because the place was too slow and need a bit more of the action/intrigue that we’ve come to expect. Also, the narrators need to expand their catalogue of voices. People are starting to sound the same.

So I read this book despite all the negative reviews and…I’m glad I did. IMO, those readers missed the point and it was a good one: real people (and aliens) can have body image issues for many different reasons. What I appreciated most (and what none of the negative comments seemed to notice) is that both MCs suffered from negative self-esteem around their bodies, both the result of external influences and each found the other extremely attractive. It was a central issue in the book and I thought it was handled well from the POV of both MCs.

Taylor, the female MC was a chatter box and it was a bit annoying BUT that was her personality. It was purposeful and it played off Wulf’s stoic nature. I thought she was one of the better developed characters in the series.

I thought this book was lacking in the pacing areas. It needed a better protagonists than plants and bugs. Taylor and Wulf were great characters in a good book.

next
