She's a sexy gamer in danger. He's a bodyguard with a secret.

Ex-Army Texas boy Owen Harding fears only one thing: his inner beast. A year in Agent Smith's experimental cages has changed his wolf into something monstrous. But a hate group is hunting the Wilding pack, so Owen's serving again, this time as bodyguard. If only the girl he's protecting wasn't so damn sexy and completely off limits.

Nova Wilding's father was assassinated, leaving her a gaming company to run, a new game to release, and a pack full of wolves who want her for a mate, including a beta who's determined to have Nova and her company. When a bomb goes off in her car, Nova finds herself in her sexy bodyguard's arms, but he's absolutely the wrong man at the wrong time.

While Nova fights to keep her gaming company afloat, and Owen fights to keep her alive, the hate group circles closer and closer, until they both find that falling in love might be the most dangerous game of all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great action packed shifter romance
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2017

I really enjoyed this shifter romance. The paranormal part of the book was downplayed and subtle. It focused more on the romance and the business/mystery aspect. All good things to put into a paranormal novel. I have noticed these kinds of books focus on the magic of the characters more often as part of the plot rather than a non-magic plot. It was nice to see them both incorporated so well in this book.

Owen was your standard alpha wolf. Except he wasn’t the alpha of his pack. I loved the background we have on him, it really helped to give a idea of why he was so concerned with shifting and control over his wolf. And his reasoning as to why he thought he couldn’t take a mate. He had massive protective instincts that sometimes overrode his rational side. He was also caring towards his charge and I don’t just mean in bed. 😉 Her safety superseded his lust. I liked that. And he wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable to Nova about how he felt about her, even if he thought it was temporary. He deferred to her in almost every aspect of their romance and her protection. And it came off as pretty sexy.

Nova tried to be all strong and stubborn but it really hid the fact that she was very much afraid for her life. She had some communication issues that worked against her a bit but she finally got her head out of her butt by the end. I think she was a bit emotionally immature for my tastes but her business savvy helped her to seem more sophisticated.

This book had some great action and I loved the military background of the bodyguards. We never do find out who is responsible for her fathers assassination but it was nice to have some closure with regards to her business and her pack’s stability, at least for the time being. It is the first in the series after all. 🙂

Ever since I picked up Alisa Woods her River Pack series I've been a fan of her books, she writes paranormal romances so well and I was happy to start her Wilding Pack series now. This series is a spin-off from her River Pack series and in some ways it feels like a direct continuation of the previous series, but in other ways I think it could work as a standalone as well as everything you need to know to follow this book gets mentioned here. I still would recommend to start with the River pack series as then you know a bit more about one of the main characters and some of the side characters.

At the end of Jared the plot line for this series got set-up and here we get to see what exactly this means for the Wilding Pack. A person who calls himself the Wolf Hunter is encouraging people to hunt wolves and kill them. All the personal information of the Wilding Pack wolves has been posted online. It's quite nasty and we get to see how this impacts wolves everywhere. Nova her father has been killed and Nova is probably next on the list. Owen, who we met in the River series already, has been assigned as her body guard to keep her safe. The Wolf Hunter plot line seems to be a set-up for the overarching plot line of this series and adds a bit of a suspense element to the series. But each book also has it's own and the ending of this book nicely wraps a few things up while also leaving some things open for the rest of the series.

Nova is quite stubborn and even with the treat she wants to continue on like normal with the planned release of her upcoming game. She is afraid, but does her best not to show it, she doesn't want to let the Wolf Hunter see that he's getting to her. I liked that she was a game developer and it's obvious the author knows what she's talking about as all the talk about the game felt realistic to me as a casual gamer. I thought it was a nice touch. Nova has more problems than just the wolf hunter, with her father dead she is expected to choose a mate and lead the pack. She is torn between what's best for the company and what she really wants. She wants to continue the company how her father wanted, but to do that she has to keep the pack intact.

Owen has been through a lot of difficult stuff and we got to see some of that in the River series. I liked that we got to see his story in this book. He is afraid to shift as he isn't sure what he would turn into. Both characters have their own conflict and issues that stood between them and I enjoyed seeing how they worked through it. I liked Owen and Nova together, they had a lot of chemistry and even though there was a lot standing in their way, it was obvious they belonged together.

It also was fun to see some characters again from the River Pack series, mostly Noah and Jace. And it seems Noah his story is next. All these books have a similar set-up, but I don't mind as each book is still a lot of fun to read even when you can predict the broad lines. And the details really make these books shine. The characters really come alive and each book is well written and after finishing this one, I just hope I can read the next book soon.

To summarize: I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this author to people who like a good paranormal romance book with a bit of suspense thrown in. This series is a spin-off from the River Pack series and while I do think it's best to read that first, it can also be read as standalone. One of the main characters Owen was already introduced in the River Pack series and I liked getting to see his story. There's someone out there who encourages people to act against wolves and it's a difficult time to be a wolf. I liked Nova and Owen together, both were fun characters to read about and they were great together. I also liked how Nova was a game developer. It was fun to see some characters from the River Pack series again. There is an overarching plot line for the series introduced in this one, but this book still has a good ending where the main plot lines for this books are wrapped up while leaving enough open for the rest of the series. All in all is this a great start of the Wilding Pack series!

The story is alright, bodyguard turned lover. The setting is fun, gamer land. There are many characters that can lead to many stories. It's a fine opening to a series I won't continue.
I just couldn't get into it very much. The cosplaying head of the company. The bodyguard sent from??? So easily dismissed and such a point of contention, I'm not sure how this bodyguard situation even started. The lay of the land confused me, things are very far away, the mountain compound did they drive, hike?

Being caged for a year where they performed numerous experiments turning him into a monster and a wolf he can't bare to look at. Having watched so many others become monsters before his eyes during his captivity, he was afraid to shift out of fear of not knowing what he would become. In the year since his release he's come to terms with the fact that he will never be able to have a mate because of this.

He is now working for the River Pack Private Security firm. His current assignment is to bodyguard Nova Wilding, the CEO of Wylderide Gaming. Her father having been the former CEO, was murdered in a car bombing buy a serial killer called "The Wolf Hunter".  Now she fighting her attraction to Owen, trying to hold her pack together and fighting the advances of the pack Beta who wants to mate her and become the new alpha of the pack.

I can honestly say I fell in love with the characters and can't wait to read the other books. I will warn you, although it has a HEA, there were couple of moments where I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room. Really good read, once you start you won't want to stop so plan ahead!!!

Happy Reading!

Owen Harding believes his wolf is damaged and mutated due to being kidnapped and experimented upon. This makes him believe he has become a monster and not the wolf he was before. Owen is working as a body guard for Nova Wilding who needs protection after her father is murdered. Nova does not want to go into hiding as she believes that will send the wrong message to her pack and the person who is threatening her. After her father’s death the males in Nova’s pack are pushing her to pick a mate to become the new alpha of her pack. Knowing that picking a wolf from another pack would split her pack and Owen’s belief that he is defective and cannot mate the two decide to act on their growing desire for each other believing that the relationship cannot last. The main contender from within Nova’s pack, Brad, starts to act like he is already in charge of her father’s company trying to overrule Nova’s decisions (like trying to take their computer games and take them onto console versions). When Brad presses the issue and threatens the company falling apart unless she submits to him she relents to save her pack. Brad then tries to use her submission to make her his mate but Nova realises that she only wants Owen, but when she is kidnapped and put on the internet for viewing of her torcher Owen will do anything to save her and take her for his mate. This is a fantastic book that kept me intrigued from the first page to the last.

Owen is working as a bodyguard for Nova Wilding. Nova is head of a gaming company and trying to continue her father's work. She's also under pressure to take a mate, someone who will lead the pack. Owen is not suitable because he's not pack, but her wolf doesn't seem to care.

I enjoyed this. I discovered that I'd read a book in an earlier series (and now I'll have to go and finish that one too!). I liked Nova and Owen, and the story was interesting.
