Wild Wolf

Rate this book
What happens when a wild wolf's fated mate is a mother with a small child on the run from her abusive ex?

I’ve never thought much about finding my mate. I figured if and when I met her, it would be another wolf shifter. We’d scent each other, chase each other’s tails for an hour, get busy, and I’d embed my mating mark.

Easy. Simple. Effortless.

But when has anything involving my wolf been easy, simple, or effortless? The wild f$#%r has been wreaking havoc since the day he burst onto the scene, and it took losing my parents and being cast out by my pack to rein him in. That, and eight years running missions with my SpecOpsSierra brethren—my new family. We’re all civilians now, living blissfully boring lives near the Canadian border.

Well, maybe not blissfully boring.

Not anymore.

Not after I scent a human female who my wolf swears is our mate.

Sick with infection and fever, our mate is running from her abusive ex while trying to care for her five-year-old son. She’s afraid and refuses my help, but as a military medic, I can’t let her suffer.

As her Fated mate, I can’t leave her unprotected, unclaimed, or unloved.

When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t think about my finding my mate, much less starting a family. Now, I’ll kill anyone who tries to take them away from me, to include the man who drove her unwittingly into my arms.

But how do I convince a woman who escaped one obsessively controlling man to accept my mating mark and bind herself to me as my fated mate for the rest of our lives?

And what am I going to do if she says no?

The Shifters of SpecOpsSierra are a special breed. Recruited for their strength, stamina, and telepathic abilities, they left their packs to join this elite military unit. Now contractors-for-hire, instead of moving home, our heroes settle in a small town in northern Montana looking forward to starting the next chapter of their lives. Life is quiet until they scent their fated mates, then nothing will stop them from claiming, marking, and bonding with the one forbidden female of their bear, wolf, or cougar's dreams.

Wolf Savior!!

Geneva has to take her young son and flee from her abusive ex. He’s extremely dangerous and she has to do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

Hiding in Great Falls, the last thing she expects is to have a spec ops wolf shifter claim her as a mate. She already has too much on her plate and doesn’t know who she can trust. Though when things get dangerous, those who are trustworthy prove themselves. Very sweet and heartwarming story with some sensitive subjects of spousal abuse. Overall , a very well written story.

Wild Wolf is the first book in the series where we meet most of the shifters of SpecOpsSierra. Wiley is the medic, he joined the military when he was younger and had problems controlling his wolf. Now besides his sister, he has a found family with his brothers he served with and crosses path with his fated mate.

Genva was married to a cop, who over time became abusive. Wanting to leave became dangerous, but she took the risk. Now she is hoping to make it over the border, when she finds unexpected help in a small town.

This is a good story that has tense moment, strong family bond and a love that grabs you with each turn of the page. I loved the connection Wiley not only has with Geneva but also with her son. And how is cares for her.

Amazing start to a series.

I really liked the opening of this book!
The concept, the characters (Main and Side), and the shifter world were all very well done. The meet que and the dilemma of trying to get close enough to the FMC who was terrified of men, so the MMC could explain etc etc. all very well done and provided a great natural tension to the situation. The dialogue flowed and the character interactions felt real, the group of guys had me cracking up!

What I didn't like was how it felt very rushed. She wakes up in a clinic surrounded by strangers because the brand her abusive ex gave her was infected, and she's just OK with staying in the nurses house?! not just that but she immediately starts flirting with him because ... he ... smells ... good? Then like a day later they're banging. It could have used a bit more build up and relationship building outside of 'fated mate = mine'.

So, while I liked this story, I thought parts of it could have been better or they just weren't for me.

Kameron has always had a knack for feeling like we are getting a behind the curtain look at Shifter life. This is a excellent example.

Wiley had always been a wild wolf. He's spent his life regretting his out of control wolf as a teen, and tries to make a difference now with his special Op Friend/family. He was NOT prepared to meet Geneva. He knew from the moment he scented her it was his fated mate.

Geneva is on the run with her son, trying to keep low profile, and fighting off sickness due to abuse from a miserable husband. her son Bo knows the safety he feels with his mom, and surprisingly when he meets Wiley and his friends.
She tries to keep a low profile, even having a woman give her free food and no offer of anything in return.

Wiley really has his work cut out for him when he tries to make her feel safe, secure, and how to let her know he will Always be there for her. Its a thing of marvel as you watch her see what the other side of a good healthy relationship can be like, and the small bit of hope she can have that love as well.

Don't me wrong, there is drama, and def some action, but lots of love. Most of all hot, spicy, ooey gooey check behind you to make sure no one is reading over your shoulder passion spilling out!!! It's got some dang good heart, and friends that prove they will have your back no matter what.

I love the humor, sarcasm, the teasing that only comes with years of having real friends, and the heart you still see as you read this. (Check out Riding with the Kodiak to see how we meet Uncle Jimmy and Dinah). You get to see acceptance in so many different ways while reading this.

Wiley is with his friends Sly and Jimmy. Wiley and Sly are wolf shifters. Jimmy and Dinah were saved from being hunted by some rich jerks on Johnston Ranch. Wiley, Sly and their friends Kade, Erick and Cricket served in the military together. They were members of a secret SpecOps team. They are the ones that saved Jimmy and Dinah. Dinah is the fated mate of Kade.

Jimmy buys them ice cream. They see a woman and child across the street. Wiley tells Jimmy to give the little boy his ice cream. Jimmy reports that both of them are covered in bruises.

Geneva and her son Bo escaped from her abusive ex-husband John. The left Spokane three days ago. They hitchhiked a ride to Bozeman. Then a female truck driver gave them a ride to town. Geneva wants to take Bo to Canada, but she has no ids or passports for them. John would occasionally abuse Geneva mentally and physically, but she chalked it up to the stress of him being a state trooper. He was involuntarily retired from the Washington State Patrol and his anger grew. When he shoved Bo away from him, Geneva had enough.

Wiley knows that Geneva is his fated mate. I loved that he was being extra cautious with Geneva. One, she is human and has no knowledge of shifters and two, she was branded by her ex-husband so explaining Wiley wanting to mark her would be hard. Geneva was so strong to run away from the abuse. I wanted them to have their happy ending.

“A new author to me and the story was really good. For instance I love shifter romances and all the paranormal aspect, each author has their unique way to portrait shifters. I love the connection between the guys, the easy bartender but mostly the bond between the ‘pack’. Back to the story, Bo was amazing! Such a clever kid and funny. His momma was not so cool but considering what she went through it was kind of acceptable (yet she was annoying) but by chapter 13 I was ready to drop it for such exasperating FMC but the all the action exploded and we reached the end, so I really like that, even though she wasn’t a great character between the action and drama of the last chapters she came to her sense sort of quickly. Lovely W was pure perfection, the man was a bliss! Smart, intelligent, bit intense but also had a vulnerable side, cocky, hot and so flirty but in such a way that it didn’t feel forced or too intense. I’m looking forward to the next guy getting his happily ever after, they all deserve it!!!”

A battered Geneva is on the run with her young son Bo when she stops in Great falls. Wiley realizes a bit too late she’s his fated mate and he loses her trail. When she shows up again he and the guys try to help. Geneva rebuffs Wiley and the Sierra Spec Ops crew’s attempts to help. She just doesn’t know who can be trusted and doesn’t want any chance of her ex finding her and Bo. So Wiley hangs back to keep an eye on her to make sure her and Bo are ok. But when Geneva becomes very ill, he steps in to take care of both of them. He convinces her to stay around a bit in hopes she will learn she can trust the people in Great Falls…and hopefully fall for him. But what will she decide to do when she figures out exactly what he (and the team) is? It’s a sweet and steamy fated mates novella. Can’t wait for more of the series!.

Wiley bites the dust. Lol. Well, in a good way. He's been known as the wild one. He has always thought his wolf is wild and out of control. His back story was really sad and I was glad when he learned the truth. I felt for him and for Geneva and her son. Lots of feelings in this one. Poor Geneva has been through trauma. Her abusive husband has made her fearful of alpha men. And what the best way to describe shifter men? Alpha. So she has some unease being around these men. I love the whole pheromone thing. It was very cool. Wiley and Geneva are totally perfect for each other. I was so glad that she was his fated mate. She deserved the kind of love, adoration and faithfulness you get with a shifter. Swoon. I was also thrilled for her son that he got a big family and kids to play with. I'm excited to read more PNR from Kameron.

This is the first book in a new series by Kameron. Kameron's book Riding with Kodiak spawned two series. One about Kade's siblings and one about his fellows MC members. This is the MC series. Wiley never thought much about finding his mate. So when he scents her and realizes something is off his instincts takeover. Geneva is on the run with her small son. Her husband is abusive and she needs to lay low. Wiley and his brothers are going to do everything in their power to protect her and her son and not just because she is Wiley's mate. Wiley needs to figure out how he is going to explain everything to her. She just came from one abusive and controlling relationship and he doesn't think she is going to react well when he explains about mating and such. He isn't going to rush her though. He is willing to wait but will his wolf? I am loving this series. I can't wait for the next book. Congrats on a fantastic book Kameron.

I am thoroughly enjoying this new series, which were introduced in the previous story. Riding with the Kodiak. Wiley is a wolf shifter and a member of the SpecOpsSierra team and Geneva is a human who is running away from an abusive relationship with her son Bo. Wylie recognises Geneva is his fated mate, and although she is very skittish about men, she is attracted to Wiley and explains to him that she and her son need to escape to Canada. Wiley does all he can to convince her that he is her mate and he will do everything he can to protect her and her son. Her husband finds her, but thankfully she is protected by Wiley and his pack and once Wiley heals from his altercation with the ex, Geneva and Bo becomes his family and they go onto, hopefully live forever together happily ever after.

This is such a good story that is touching and heartwarming. It is a paranormal shifter romance about a wild wolf, fated mates and a women on the run with her young son. The story is about Wiley, Geneva and Bo. Geneva runs for her abusive husband with young son, Bo. She is hiding until she can cross over into Canada where she thinks they will be safe. Wiley and Sly are outside of an ice cream shop as their friend Jimmy approaches with ice cream. WIley notices the women and her son and knows something is wrong; which is confirmed by Jimmy. She disappears but then he realizes the fates have brought him his mate. This is such a good story! I enjoyed watching WIley and his wild side be gentle loving and supportive of Geneva while winning her son completely over. I like how their story develops, karma and the fun ending.

On the run with her young son Bo, Geneva finds a momentary respite in Great Falls. Wiley, realizing too late that she is his destined mate, loses her trail. When Geneva reappears, Wiley and his team offer assistance, but she rebuffs them, wary of trusting anyone and risking her ex finding her and Bo. Wiley discreetly watches over them to ensure their safety. However, when Geneva falls seriously ill, he intervenes to care for them both. He persuades her to stay in Great Falls, hoping she'll learn to trust the locals—and perhaps develop feelings for him. Yet, Geneva faces a dilemma when she discovers the true nature of Wiley and his team. This novella offers a sweet and steamy tale of fated mates. For a fuller experience of this world, also read 'Riding with the Kodiak'.

Some spoilers ahead

Loving the stories and characters from this series. Geneva and her son Bo are running from an abusive home situation. She ends up in Broken Falls and when Wiley scents her, realises she is his fated mate. Bo is a great child character, sweet, believable, and with an obsession with bears much to Wiley’s chagrin. Wanting to protect her at all costs, he is willing to give up his life and letting her go when the thought of being bonded/branded triggers her. My only niggle was hearing about his recent amorous encounter during the last full moon party, I didn’t need to know that. Loved reading more about Jimmy, Nan, and Carla and looking forward to returning to the fated mates of SpecOpsSierra.

Wild Wolf is Book 1 of Fated Mates of SpecOpsSierra. It's a steamy, paranormal, fated mate, girl gets her wolf shifter romance. Wiley was always a lonely wolf as his wolf was pretty wild. Now he has his special ops framily. Geneva is a human on the run from an abusive ex with her son Bo. She is trying to get to Canada. Wiley knows she is his mate when he scents her. But she is afraid to trust anyone as her ex is in the public sector and very controlling-abusive. But she starts to realize she can trust Wiley and his friends. Can they keep them safe? They had such great chemistry, and we got a happy ending. My heart broke for Geneva at times, and Bo was such a cutie. I love these paranormal reads from Kameron!.

Seriously I feel for poor sweet Geneva and her little boy Bo. I hate abusive spouses and hers is on the psycho level of abusive. Thankfully she escapes and ends up in Montana. Wiley sees her but doesn’t realize she’s his fated mate until later after she disappears. Thankfully they meet again and he realizes two things he sucks at wooing humans and he’s got to go slow so he doesn’t send her running to the hills. Love their journey and how sweet Wiley is!! A big cinnamon roll alpha hottie is just what Geneva needs to believe in love again. Plus his interactions with Bo will make your ovaries melt!!.

Gorgeous story told with great sensitivity.

Having read 'Riding with the Kodiak', I couldn't wait for more paranormal romance from the wonderful Kameron Claire. Wiley was absolutely gorgeous. Despite his 'wild wolf' nickname, the attention, compassion, patience and care he showed Geneva and her son, Bo, was very beautiful. Geneva and Bo's background of domestic violence was sensitively told, and I loved watching them open up and bloom under the care of a loving family. There is a whole host of wonderful characters within this 'found family' and I look forward to reading more of their stories to come.

I’m loving PNR from Kameron Claire! These shifters are family oriented, argue, and love each other fiercely. Wiley carries emotional baggage: guilt that never leaves. Geneva and her little boy, Bo, carry emotional and physical trauma that makes her very leery of men. Trust, belief, and love is difficult to build, but Wiley knows she is his fated mate. I love the patience, the caring, and honesty that Wiley shows Geneva and Bo. Their chemistry and relationship is hot and her courage is inspiring! Bo is a sweetheart and Wiley’s brothers are really great with him! Loved the epilogues!!.

I loved Wild Wolf Book 1 of Fated Mates of SpecOpsSierra. Geneva was on the run with her son Bo. Her ex was a bad man, he was abusive and worst he was law enforcement. Wiley just found his fated mate but she’s in bad shape. Her ex did a number in her and she’s in a bad way. She needs help and security. Wiley and his family will do everything they can to protect Geneva and Bo. Even if she can never accept him as her mate. I loved the story and the characters. Some of the abuse talked about is disturbing but not too much detail. I would definitely recommend this book and I can’t wait for more in the series.

Book one continued on some what from Kade and Dinah's story from a previous series, so it was nice to catch up with them, Kade's Special Ops family and of course Jimmy. It was nice to get to know Wiley better, to find out his history and to see how he handled meeting his fated mate. He didn't have it easy as Geneva had her own past, fears and insecurities, but with support fro m those around him and some new information, he knew what he needed to do. I loved Bo, he was a good character, and I loved his bond with Wiley and Jimmy too.

Geneva is in trouble and on the run. When Wylie runs across Geneva quite accidentally, it is immediately apparent she is his mate and needs his help and protection. This story has intense emotion and suspense. It has kindness and caring and love. I love that Geneva is such a good momma and so determined to protect her son, Bo. I love that Wylie is so aware of and caring of Geneva's emotional scars that he is willing to sacrifice his own needs. The writing is well developed and easy to read and follow. I can't wait for Sly's book and Cricket and Erick.

Wild wolf and wild mate! This is about Wiley, Geneva, and her little boy, Bo. Geneva and Bo are on the run from an abusive husband. Jimmy, saved in Kameron's book of Riding with the Kodiak, asks his new friends, Wiley, and the gang, if he should offer to buy the little boy an ice cream as they both look like they were abused and are on the run. Wiley starts to track her down as her smell is that of his mate, but how could it be? The story is excellent, and I'm glad that Jimmy is living a life that he never imagined he could. I can't wait to read about the others if I get the opportunity.

Wiley and Geneva and her son Bo. Shes running from her abusive ex John. Hes a Washington State Patrol officer that was forced to retire. So if he was angry before he got worse after and when he pushed Bo she had enough. Touch her but not her child. Momma Bears can be pretty protective and mean when you go near their cubs. Her husband even branded her. And she doesnt know about shifters and mates which shes Wileys mate and he would have to mark her you know kind of like a brand. This story is so good couldnt put it down. I absolutlly love this author. If you havent read her books you are missing out.

Wild Wolf is full of action, emotion, and sweetness! I just love Kameron Claire’s writing style—she has built another beautiful world full of complex characters that is so easy to become engrossed in! Wiley and Geneva are so perfect for each other, and I absolutely adore how he approaches her and handles their dynamic. Bo is smart and funny, and I thoroughly enjoyed Jimmy’s character development as well as meeting more of the SpecOps guys in depth. This book was so much fun, and I can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out!

Geneva is on the run from her abusive husband with her young son. She is hiding in Great Falls, trying to keep a low profile and earn some money to get them across the Canadian border. Wiley is a wolf shifter, one sniff and he knows Geneva is his fated mate, he also knows she is sick and he needs to help her and protect her and her son. Wiley is not giving up on them but Geneva is scared. When she becomes gravely ill he takes matters into his own hands. He will protect her and Bo and never let them go! Sweet, steamy story with amazing chemistry, danger, suspense, a loving, protective, determined hero and a wonderful HEA.

This is the 1st book in the “Fated Mates of Spec Ops Sierra Series.” Geneva is a human on the run from an abusive ex with her son Bo and she finds herself in Great falls. Wiley is a wolf shifter and he is with the Spec Ops Sierra. While Wiley is out and about he scents his fated mate Geneva and doesn’t realize that Geneva is his mate until she is out sight. When Wiley finds Geneva again she is a bit apprehensive about males because of her abusive ex. Geneva becomes ill and Wiley is there for her and her son Bo. The three of them are great together. Love their chemistry and attraction.

Taming the wild animal in him

Wild Wolf is the first book in the Fated Mates of SpecOpsSierra series. This is a great start to a new series and new genre for the author, PNR. I really love Kameron's other romances so getting to read her new PNR book was a lot of fun. I loved how she wove the characters together with the new world of SpecOpsSierra. This story is about Geneva and Wiley, he was first introduced in the book Riding with the Kodiak. The story is well written, the characters interesting and well developed, and the story-line has it all going on. I can't wait to read the next book in this series to see just who finds their fated mate and just what happens.

This is book 1 in the new series Fated Mates of SpecOpsSierra. I like how Kameron Claire brings back characters from other books. I feel the characters keep getting more depth the more I read about them. I'm really enjoying the fated mates books by this author. Wiley and Geneva were strong characters. Both dealing with trauma from their past. Bo was such a cute boy and so sweet. Love the side characters. Glad Geneva and Wiley got their HEA. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Geneva is running from an abusive ex with her child when she ends up in Montana. There Wiley sees her and realizes she is his fated mate. But he has his work cut out for him because she’s human and he’s a wolf shifter. Will he be able to learn her trust. Loved this shifter story. Well written and it has some triggers but they aren’t dwelled on. Wiley and Geneva are a great couple once Geneva learns to trust him and Bo her son is the sweetest ever. Sweet and steamy I loved his story.

Such a good read! I truly enjoyed Geneva and Wiley's story.. I just really really wish it was a little longer. I loved how strong Geneva was despite what she had been through. Wiley's background was so sad but it helped that he learned and grew from it and finally realized he could no longer blame himself for his actions as a teenager. There were some parts of the book that I was unsure of but nothing took away too much from the story.. Definitely recommend!.

Wiley finds his fated mate in Geneva who is on the run from her abusive husband. WIley and his friends immediately wanted to help and protect Geneva and her son, Bo even though she was afraid to trust anyone. Geneva was hurt badly by her husband so even though she had feelings for Wiley, she was hesitant to trust him and almost walked away.

The characters and romance were what I expect from Kameron Claire. The story kept me entertained and engaged from beginning to end.
