Line of Lilith #2
Lady and the Pack
College student Kayla Taylor gets a job with the local werewolf pack and finds love, family, and a psycho pack of rogue wolves that want her dead. Great first week on the job!
Twenty-four year old Kayla Taylor enjoys life in her little bubble: her potty-mouthed best friend, school, work, and staying as far away from her dysfunctional parents as she can. But when Kayla accepts a job to help the local werewolf pack leader write her memoirs, the relationship with her parents starts to look like a walk in the park.
Patrick Belman, a pack member, tells her that she has a new boyfriend and he's it. In the midst of their happily ever after, Kayla discovers a civil war among the wolves that has been brewing since the Garden of Eden, and being the first human to be chosen by Lilith for a werewolf puts her right in the middle of the conflict. Kayla is pulled into the world of the wolves by the bonds of love and family, something she has longed for since her childhood.
But sometimes, she just wants her nice little bubble back.

Lady and the Pack (Line of Lilith Book 2) by RA Boyd is a wonderful follow up to the first in her Line of Lilith Series. Book 2 brings us Lilith’s daughter, another in the Line of Lilith, bringing us more of the evolving story that is the Line of Lilith Series.
Ms. Boyd, as in the first in the series, brings you in on the run and keeps up the pace. The world builds so clearly, and the characters are so alive, you feel it happening with every word.
Solid 4 stars.

The Lady and The Pack by R.A. Boyd is a paranormal romance that is filled with suspense.
Main characters, Kayla and Patrick, have great chemistry. The pack doesn’t understand how a human and a werewolf could possibly bond, but Kayla and Patrick feel they are each other’s true mate.
Kayla is an average college student who aspires to be a writer. She is open minded and has no problem working with the sage pack-leader to write her memoir. Kayla is estranged from her parents, and she is haunted by that lack of family. Food and her best friend Lettie fill the hole left by her damaged family relationships. The lack of family support has left her feeling insecure and unworthy. Upon meeting the wolf pack, she is electrifyingly attracted to Patrick. She can’t explain it, and neither can I because that reveal would ruin some of the suspense in the story.
Patrick is a werewolf and part of the pack. He is self-assured and mature. He is powerful, handsome, and sexy. He is possessively devoted to Kayla and wants to take care of her. I loved Patrick’s confession of how helpless he feels about not being able to protect his mate when Kayla first encounters the evil Gunther.
The plot is slow to start with a lot of detail in the set up. At times, there is too much detail that doesn’t necessarily add anything to the story. However, much of the detail does help you feel like you really know the characters and setting before the action takes off. Early on, there were foreshadowing clues that made me think there was going to be a threat in the future, but it took too long to get the suspense/thriller aspect of the story going. I liked the early sexual tension between Patrick and Kayla—the teasing and pent-up desire was good. I would have loved more flirting and teasing in their dialogue. There is a bit of repetition at the end of the story that I didn’t think added to the story.
I read an early copy of the book, and it was going to be edited more. The problems I had with the plot are likely to be addressed in the final round of editing. I loved the sprinkling of humor in the story; humor in a paranormal suspense doesn’t always work, but RA Boyd did it just right. Patrick’s and Kayla’s ovulation discussion cracked me up! That has never come to mind when I’ve read paranormal romances in the past. The author has thrown in a couple red-herrings that provided some interesting confusion and humor once the reader figures out how they were misled. RA Boyd’s take on the Lilith story and how para-normal creatures were created was unique. The best part for me was how Kayla transforms and grows as a character.
Overall, I thought the premise of the story was good; one of the most original paranormal themes I’ve read in a while. I appreciated that the ending is set up such that the story could continue as a series without leaving readers with a huge cliff-hanger. A 3.5-star read that will appeal to fans of paranormal fiction.

If you like shifter books, you will want to read this story. It shows bonds between family that can't be broken. Family is of utmost importance to the werewolf community, and when one of them takes a mate they will kill or he killed to protect them.
Kayla had a rough upbringing due to her mother leaving her and her father. Her father took care of her but really showed no emotions towards her. She developed a friendship with Lettie and Lettie's family took her under their wings as one of their own.
Human-werewolf relations were strained so the queen of the weres decided to write a story to explain to humans all about them. Kayla was chosen to help write the book but she had no idea why as she was still a college student.
At the house she is instantly pulled to Patrick. They explain to her that she is his mate but no one knows how a human can be chosen. They just know that's it's special. They vow to protect Kayla as one of their own.
There is a group if rogues who for unknown reasons are hunting and killing werewolves in relationships with human. Unknown to the pack at this time is that they are really looking for Kayla.
This book will take you through the bonds of family and their fight to keep Kayla safe no matter the cost. We also get to see the wonderful relationship develop between Kayla and Patrick. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.

The premise of this book was a good one, and indeed, it had great potential. For me though this potential wasn't quite reached, I'm not 100% sure why and I'll try and explain my reasoning.
The language/phrases used may not be 'got’ by many readers, I myself cringed at a few of the phrases used, and this, for me anyway, made it hard to connect with the characters. I loved the male lead but for me he wasn't developed enough, I think this could have been helped by having more of the developing relationship included it the story.
I find reviews like this hard to do as I don't want to give away any of the story but feel I need to explain my reasoning. I will say that the ending did pick up its pace and I enjoyed it but the dream world the heroine enters (I can't explain further or I'll give away elements of the book) was confusing for me. I think this might be due to being thrown in to the dream with little explanation.
All in all it was a good read with immense potential. The characters, if developed more, I feel could be great and the story which is a different take on shifters which could be interesting. I'm intrigued to see where the author will go with this.

This is a must read! I loved the story line, the characters and the detail that let the reader understand this supernatural history and world. I couldn’t put it down. I don’t like posting spoilers, so I’ll make my review about how the book made me feel as a reader. I honestly can’t wait for more! You don’t even realize how much time has gone by when you are reading this book, the two main leads are funny and perfect. The secondary characters, you’ll love them too! I hope that you all love these characters and story line as much as I do! Now I’m on to google the next book....fingers crossed it’s already out!
