After being viciously attacked by a pack of wolves, and saved from this brutal assault. Kenly is thrust into a world of mystical beings. A world where her saviour claims to be her mate, where witches and wizardry runs in her blood, and where the greater good of mankind rests on the shoulders of this young and oblivious girl.
Kenly's attack, brings her to the Raber Wolf Pack, where she meets her mate Max, the second in command, and a mighty intimidating man, and wolf. Sexy as hell, tatted and oh so scrumptious. Being a human amongst wolves, makes it extremely difficult for Kenly to come to terms with her current situation. Because of her attack, wolf saliva has entered Kenly's system and she is quickly changing. Becoming a wolf, is scary and unbelievable for Kenly. It's even more difficult for her to understand having these strange feelings towards Max.
On the flip side, we have Max, Kenly's mate, who is terrified that she will not overcome the intensity of the change. If a pair loses a mate, then, they will either die, or go rouge and have to be killed. His fear and concern over her well being is enraging and disconcerting all at once.
I loved the flip in Max's emotions, I felt that he truly encompassed the characteristics of a mate. Angry and happy, turned on and forceful, his vulnerability over Kenly's undetermined situation was refreshing. Kenly, was a little different for me in this series, I didn't expect a human to be turned wolf. So whilst, I understand all her concerns and her own vulnerabilities, I felt she acted a bit immature and childish. Maybe, in hindsight it was necessary, however, it simply didn't sit well with me. Kenly however, redeemed herself, by proving to be a kickass mate and lead character, by gaining strength and confidence to stand up to her family.
I absolutely adored the change in the story, by adding a new mystical touch to the storyline. The has definitely changed the dynamics of the entire story and I cannot wait to see it to the end. Ryan Michele simply keeps amazing me and engrossing me with her stories.
With the story progressing we're piecing together how, Zara (from book 1) and Kenly are entwined, because of their grandmothers, and the powers they both possess, will be life changing for the pack. Soon a larger piece of the plot will be divulged with book 3 approaching.

3.5 Stars Kenly was viciously attacked by a group of wolves and savagely bitten. Max was near by when the attack happened and, sensing that she was his mate, came to her rescue. Taking her back to the Pack to get healed, they also uncover secrets from Kenly's family. She was bitten so many times, though, that she now has wolf saliva in her system and will turn into a shifter. It's a dangerous process and Max and Kenly both are scared she might not live through the change.
This series just keeps getting better and better! Book Two was a great continuation of the Raber Wold Pack series and I can't wait for the conclusion. These are short books that are fast paced and the story just sucks you in. In book two old and new enemies are now making their presence known and the Pack has to figure out how to fight them.
A lot of the story focuses on Kenly's change to wolf but I loved the times that she and Max got to just sit around and talk. They are already destined to be together but we got to see them grow together and learn about one another. I did want a little more about them and felt like they're connection was a little too instant, though. There was a big focus on where Kenly was getting her powers from and it took away from her and Max's story.
I still have questions from the first book and now I have even more that I am dying to find out. Both Kenly and Zara's grandmothers are part of the story and I love how an older generation is coming together to help the Pack with their troubles. I can't wait to see how all of this comes together and to finally get my answers.
Raber Wolf Pack book two has the same action with a side of romance and some funny moments we found in the previous book. This is going to be short and quick because I don’t want to give anything away.
I loved Max, he was the perfect mix of alpha, well technically beta if you want to be specific, sexy, dominant, protector, and wolf. He knew that Kenly was his mate but he had more at stake then just convincing her that they were meant to be. Nope not gonna give it away sorry folks. I will say this, Kenly did tend to get on my nerves a little, more than once I wanted to just either slap some sense into her or just shake the living hell out of her, but in the end she grew on me. I love how everything is slowly starting to come together, we still have questions that need to be answered but I have a feeling we haven’t seen nothing yet.
Despite how these two meet and the horror of what happens to Kenley with the change and all associated with that, I loved the humour between them, the little bits of fun that came through in their story. So much rests on these couples with the wealth fare of all their futures and the packs, without being new relationships that for Kenley especially is beyond all she has ever known. The main event is starting to build the tension for book three and the final couple, so far though I am not impressed with any of the parents of these girls none are supportive or loving. A great storyline that has just enough action and suspense but isn't over the top, as with most of the shifter type stories their is quite a bit of sexual content due to the mating side of the story but then that is explained as wolves being very sexual as a norm so the mating with their soul mates is extra heightened. I am thoroughly enjoying reading this series, it isn't as heavy as some can be so you get the bits of humour to lighten it all up and this brings a smile to my face while reading.
This one provided more pieces to the puzzle in a delightfully entertaining way. It was over before I realized it. This is a standalone with an HEA for the romance although there is still a mystery up in the air. And now I go to the third book.
I just love this series!! The story is well written and keeps you reading until the end. It has drama, mystery, and passion. I can't wait for book 3 to see how it all comes together.
Read the first book in the series and loved it. I was excited to read this one as well. Its a great story. We have Max who is the beta of the Raver Wolf Pack. He's dominant but not near as Xavier is. X is a lot to handle...he was in book one. He's calmed a smidge in this one but still very alpha lol. Max is sweet and romantic and a really good around guy. He finds his mate but in dire circumstances. Only reason he found her is because she was viciously attacked by wolves with a bunch of bites and that pretty much means they meant to turn her. Once she is bitten that many time her scent and dna changed so Max was able to save her and kill her attackers.
Kenly is actually a nice person considering where she came from. Her parents are wealthy and workaholics. Both doctors who have pretty much ignored her all her life and was raised by nannies which her father seemed to be dipping his stick in. Not that her mother cared. She was with her Grandmother for awhile as well. Who was great to her and way more loving than her parents. So, she had a little love growing up but not in the form of her parents. She freaks the heck out after being chased down and attacked by wolves. She thinks she is dying and wakes up in a room in the Raber territory. She's scared and thinks she is dying. Humans dont go through changes well that is why its forbidden. Most die. Max refuses to let her. As she is given all this information all at once and things are proven. She takes it pretty well and Max grounds her and keeps her calm. They are mates after all. I really liked his character. He was patient with her...so very patient. Explaining things and the process with the help of Lily...love her. Ha...when the heat came on...whew that was hot. Then once she changes wow...when they mate and seal their connection dayum! Anyways, we also learn that Kenly is part witch on her father's side. Thats what made her transition so painful and nearly unsuccessful. That biotch Marissa is still around..I swear she is up to no good. Maybe she finally learned to shut up.
David Camp is still around and causing problems. We learn some tidbits about him which leaves everyone confused. Story isn't over. Its not a cliffhanger per se but still unfinished.
I enjoyed the writing and it was a fast read. I will say that I noticed in some of the wording that she writes facial expressions into it. I dont think that is needed. If the flow is working and we're into the story which we are we dont need her to describe in detail of their expressions. Like a look on the face saying...he is showing his pissed off face...thats what I mean and she doesnt need to add that stuff. We get the picture. :) Can't wait to read the next in the series. I sorta thought it would be a bigger series with multiple characters getting a story. I was bummed to find out there are only 3 stories. Like Lily getting a story. Or some of the other ones too. I guess there is a reason for it maybe but still sucks.
Kenly's gut instinct told her to go home but she didn't. She finds herself on the receiving end of a vicious attack that changes her life in ways she never imagines. As she is rescued by unseen forces, she awakens in a strange place, alive but a long way from okay. When she discovers she is in the home of the Raber Wolf Pack, Kenly isn't sure what to think, especially when she meets the pack.....and Max. Max is the Beta to the Raber Wolf Pack and realizes Kenly is his mate. The fact Kenly is human poses some large obstacles between her and Max. As Kenly's world changes, she realizes the people closest to her are not what they appear and the Raber Wolf Pack may be the family she's always wanted.
I love this series and was excited to read book #2. The story begins with Kenly on the run from a group of wolves and running down an alley to get away. But the story isn't your typical damsel in distress, falls for hot Mr. Rescue me, and they live happily ever after. No, this is something different. Don't get me wrong, Kenly is the damsel in distress but her inner dialog is funnier than real life conversation. And when Kenly meets the pack and Max....wow. Max is the hot Beta who has found his mate in Kenly. The way he talks to her makes every girl swoon and Kenly's reaction to the information is hysterical. Don't get me wrong, the story has a serious side to it but Ryan does a great job of balancing the two emotions. The story pulls the reader in and is written in a way the reader can see what is happening through Kenly's eyes. The story does intertwine with Xavier and Zara, from book 1, but does a good job of keeping them on the periphery until they need to play a bigger role. I cannot wait for book #3.
Book Two of the Raber Wolf Pack kicks the story up a notch higher. Kenly is a human who is being viciously attacked and bitten by wolves when Max, the Raber Beta, feels her cries for help and the pull of her scent as his mate. The attack leaves her on the brink of the dangerous shift for a human to wolf and not only does it affect her state of mine, but that of her mate Max. Things move quickly in this series and you don’t get a whole lot of time to process it before oh holy crap the enemy is beating down the gates. Will Kenly survive the change or will she end up like so many humans before her?
I have to start off by saying that these books move at a very quick pace. Readers need to understand the mate for life concept pretty easily before jumping into this series because haters of instant love connections will be a hating. Personally, that one of the reasons I love this series by Ryan Michele. You don’t have to sit through chapters upon chapters of relationship angst before getting what you want. The drama in these books comes from an entirely different source, their enemies and one female wolf who you just want to reach through the pages and strangle. Seriously, chica, go find another wolf and a new hobby. The twists and turns along with the smexy parts of the story will drive you to keep turning page after page. I can’t wait for the final book in this series.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh man is this a good one too!!
This book and the other book slowly set up for, my guess, the in the finale installment with book 3. There is so much happening and so much more awesomeness to uncover.
We find Kenly being attacked by wolves annnd not the wild ones from the zoo. These are shifter men and they attack her hoping to kill her???? But enter our Raber Pack Beta, Max, to the rescue. He saves Kenly and bring her back to the compound. Why you ask? DUH she is his mate!! He is going nuts because she has no clue what is going on and no one else can smell they are mates because she is a human. Yeah old Max is not happy with the lustful stares the other wolves give his intended….LOL
Kenly has to go through the change from human to wolf. Now a few other humans have tried annnnnd welllll it didnt go so well for them. So poor Kenly on top of learning about wolves, mating, bonding, pack order ANNNNND transitioning for the first time had to deal with the fact she might die…..poor girl right!
Again magic plays a big role in this book and I am super excited to learn about the legend that nana begins to tell us at the end of the book…eeeep.
This is book 2 of the Raber Wolf Pack series. This one centers on parents that choose their careers over their daughter. Kenley's father is a very powerful warlock who chose to deny his true self from himself, his wife and especially his daughter. Kenley was raised by her paternal grandmother and numerous nanny's, never knowing the love of her parents. She has no idea of what lays dormant in her until she wakes up in the Raber Pack after being attacked by rogues.
Max beta of the Raber Pack has found his mate, but he is tormented by the fact that he may lose her after just finding her.
Kenley was just a human a few hours ago and now she is being told she will turn into a wolf, but she has no idea that it is much more then that and that she will have to call on her very uncaring parents to help her. Will her father help her, she doesn't think so, but she has to make them see reason for the safety of the Pack.
Again I was impressed by the authors style of writing and especially the family dynamics she depicts in her stories.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review
DISCLAIMER TO MY FELLOW GOODREADER This review is my personal opinion and may contain: spoilers, quotes, rants, cussing (sometimes I cannot help myself) and a possible full on recap. I in no way want to ruin anyone’s book reading experience so please read my words with caution.
Kenly Conner is human. Well at least for awhile longer. She has had abilities her entire life and a foursome of wolves hunts her down one night. Max, Beta of the Raber pack finds her, but not before the wolves bite her numerous times. Now Kenly is faced with the change. Humans are not known to survive. Max happens to be Kenly's mate, not that she can tell in her human state. He's overly protective and sweet to her. Things get strange when a new threat comes out to play. It seems Zara and Kenly's powers are linked to something powerful that no one saw coming...
Will Kenly survive the change? If she doesn't what happens to Max?
Cliffhanger – yes (book 2 of series) POV - Kenley and Max
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review....
Well Ryan Michele, you've done it again. You've written another unbelievably awesome story and sequel known as Raber Wolf Pack: Book Two. I bow down at your epicness! Book Two of this series surrounds Kenly, a victim of a wolf bite, and Max, Beta and oh so deliciously sexy wolf of the Raber Wolf pack. In book Two the plot thickens... There is a ton of new information introduced in this book! Missing pieces are interlocking together creating and building up to the ultimate paranormal story. Michele also gives us some intense scenes at have you squirming in your chair as you read -"Your libido will be out of control, but no worries because there is one hot wolf that will help you out in that department"... Uh.. need a minute. Max and Kenly have an unbelievable attraction and hot, intense chemistry that leave you begging for more! Can't wait for book three in this series!
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, abuse, pain, grief, secrets, special powers, and heartbreak.
This is Kenly and Max’s story. Kenly was attacked and almost killed. No one can figure out why but a side effect of the attack is she will turn wolf. But the only few humans that were turned all died. Max could tell right away that Kenly was his Mate but with the change will he lose her forever? When weird things start happening they wonder about when Kenly is hiding. The more questions they have the more weird changes that happen. Will they be able to find someone to answer the questions she can’t? Will she be able to make it through the change? Who is the Camp guy and what does he want with Kenly?
I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
The adventures of the Raber Wolf Pack continue in this second book. This book follows Max and Kenly. I really liked the first book in this series and couldn't wait to read Max's book.
I liked Kenly. She's a human that know werewolves exist, but is unexpectedly thrown into their world when she gets attacked. Where she finds out stuff about herself that she never knew.
I loved Max. I've liked him ever since the first book. He's sweet, caring, sexy, protective, everything a alpha male should be.
I really enjoyed this book and am really enjoying this new series from author Ryan Michele. This book will pull you in and hold your attention. And not mention it has some smoking hot shifting werewolves.
I'm giving this book 4 out of 5 stars and can't wait for book three!!!!
***I received an ARC of this book from Enticing Journey Book Promotions for my honest review***
I am definitely enjoying the direction that Michele is taking with the series. It's full of twists and turns and super sexy. Although I enjoyed Max and Kenly's journey to a happy for now, I have to confess that I enjoyed Xavier and Zara's journey a bit more. Oh, don't get me wrong, I really liked the story and the connection between Max and Kenly. I suppose that I felt at times that TOO much was going on -- wolves, magic, a hidden identity, a lost crystal with powers, a secret heritage. Normally, all that wouldn't be bad normally, but because the story isn't terribly long it felt as if the reader was thrown a lot of detail with not a lot of time to absorb it. I suspect that will learn more in book 3 now that Nana O, Zara's grandmother and Kenly's grandmother's bestie, is back on the scene. Thor has been a fairly muted character so far but I look forward to reading his story.
Given a copy for an honest review! Ryan Michele is continuing to wow us with Raber Wolf Pack Book 2. She has given more mystery and suspense. Max is with the Raber Wolf Pack and can't believe that his mate is human. He is a larger than life shifter, patient, protective and oh so sexy. Kenly is a young woman on the run for her life. Kenly has the most mystery to her character and I love how Ryan Michele develops her qualities. Ryan Michele sent me through the woods of suspense. Alphas, magic, shifters and very growl worthy scenes. I am ready for more from Ryan Michele. What is the largest mystery behind Kenly and will she survive and accept everything that Max and the Raber Wolf Pack has to offer? What happens when shifters and human collide? Max and Kenly are fantastic characters and this series keeps getting better!
Wow Just one day to read this cover to cover. This author never seems to amaze me. I'm always craving more by the time I'm done reading one of her stories. That's how wonderful her writing is. The stories come to life and you can't but help fall for the characters over and over again. I couldn't believe how fast I was reading this story; at this point I was completely amazed how much I loved it to fly right through the pages without stopping, not like I could anyways. It's a MUST READ story. With it's 2 person POV and great things that come from both Max and Kenly it's one you don't want to miss out on. I was hooked from page one all over again and by the end I can't wait for more. I'm craving more and needing more.
***I received this story for free in exchange for an honest review, see more of my review @ http://jmhoward2007.blogspot.com ***
I was excited to read this book. I enjoyed book one and could wait to read the continuation of this amazing paranormal series. I absolutely fell in love with the Kenly and Max .The twist and turns they go through to become the mated couple they are destined to be will have wanting to turn those pages.
This amazing and intriguing book had me hooked from page one. I could not put it down until I reached the end. I am hoping there is another book of this series. I really enjoyed the story-line and characters.
This is a definite must read book! Go grab your copy and enjoy this amazing book.
I recommend this book to all readers not just the paranormal readers.
Raber Wolf Pack Book 2, an amazing and interesting read. This book is Max and Kenly's story. Kenly, a simple human, but things changed the night she did not listen to her intuition. Max, a beta of the Raber Wolf Pack who saved the woman who was ambushed by a pack of werewolves. Max knows that there is something about Kenly That is drawing him into her. But Kenly is is uncertain of Max's intention to her. Things between the two will get more interesting and someone important from the women's life will have an appearance and there will be things that will be revealed that might change the outcome of their future.
I strongly suggest that you read book 1, as this is a series and you will be lost to anything and everything that is happening in this book.
So book 2 brings us Max and Kenly. Max is the beta for the Raber pack. Kenly is a human that gets... hunted down. Max steps in and saves the day and the story carries on from there.
My only complaint so far about this series, is it's short. I finish these in no time and am left wishing there was more. I wasn't done with Max and Kenly. But the story isn't over, there will be another book to come. Once again, rocking sexy time, alpha males all over the place, mystery and drama. I can't wait for more of this series. I give it 4 stars
Another great raber pack wolf read, this one is Max and Kenly's story in which she is saved from an attack and brought into the raber pack. Amazing second plot line along with the story of Max and Kenly's relationship that grows, after reading the first book which is Zara and xavier's story you get the beginning of a story unfolding. It's like it's got two plots within each book, one plot about the couples in each and then a continuing story playing out in the background which has me hooked to read more.
This is the second book in the Raber Wolf Pack, you do need to read Book One first. Even though they are about different members of the pack, there is an underlying story line. We find out about it at the end of this book. And boy is it great. I'm starting on the next book now!
I love the characters in this series. Each are so different. I don't want to say too much and give anything away though because there are quite a few surprises.
I loved the first book. But if it's posible I love this even more. It's was fun and adventurous. Loved all characters. Kenly and Max were amazing. Strong, loyal, sweet and lovable.
You thought enemy destroyed in the first book? Yup, it was. But new shit hits the fan. And it's not fully revealed who or why. So much to find out. Can't wait for the Thors journey and to secrets be revealed.
Kenly suffers a brutal attack and has to survive the outcome. Max is so sweet and patient. Kenly does something funny to her parents. It ends with an exciting cliffhanger, but at least book 3 comes out soon.
I love that this book seems to have continued along the unconventional line of the last. The characters are well thought out and their relationship is believable.
I have read Pack Book 2 and fell in love all over again with the Raber Wolves. I cannot wait to read Thor's story in book 3, coming soon... August 31st!
