Wilding Pack Books 1-3 (Wild Game, Wild Love, Wild Heat) by Alisa Woods
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good value collection of the first three books in the Wilding Pack series. Individual book reviews follow:

#1 Wild Game - 4*

Owen Harding is ex-Army and after spending a year in Agent Smith’s experimental cages he is now working as a bodyguard for beautiful gaming heiress Nova Wilding. Currently, a hate group is hunting the Wilding pack, and Owen's wolf just wants Nova, but she is clearly off-limits. The pack members and especially one of the betas clearly want to mate with Nova to gain both her and the gaming company that she inherited from her assassinated father. But when a bomb goes off in her car she finds herself in her sexy bodyguard's arms and has to keep telling herself that he is the wrong man at the wrong time for her. 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.

I loved this story which had lots of levels of drama and danger as Nova and Owen had to roll with the different events as they happened with the one constant - that they were together doing their best to stay safe and together. The beta was certainly a nasty piece of work and I was glad when he was no longer a problem for them both. Well written and very enjoyable. Contains explicit sexual content.

#2 Wild Love - 5*

Ex-Army man Noah Wilding comes back home on medical leave because his family is being targeted by an anti-shifter hate group and he wants to help where he can. So he goes undercover to try and lure out the haters. Emily Jones is the lead programmer for an app that hooks up shifters and humans called WildLove for a night of hot sex and no commitments. She hasn't had a date for years since a day when her family failed to protect her. So she thinks one night with a shifter will help her to move on with her life. When Noah swipes right for Emily she thinks that her dream one-night stand is about to happen but with the kate group planting car bombs during WildLove hookups they are both on the front lines. They have to hunt down a killer before he strikes again… and before they do more than heat up the sheets. Because humans and shifters might get “Wild for a Night”… but they’re not supposed to fall in love.

I really loved this story which was a romantic rollercoaster in many ways but it all worked in the one direction and that was the right direction for them both. I loved the way that they worked together and the way that they both made sure that the other was respected at all times. Noah was such a sweetie I could've almost fallen for him too. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains some explicit sexual content and a sweet HEA that was definitely deserved by them both.

#3 Wild Heat - 4*

Kaden Grant is a shifter and he knows that the police department is not the place for a shifter - hence he hides the fact that he's one very carefully from everyone in the Seattle Police Department where he works. When a shifter hate group threatens the mayor's favourite artist, and he orders her to have a protective detail, Kaden knows he has to be that detail so he can protect her from her potential protectors. He hits a problem when her wild streak threatens to bring out his secret while he is protecting her. Artist and free spirit Terra Wilding knew a Wolf Hunter was targeting her family, but he has now put her as an individual in his sights. The only way to keep her baby sister Cassie and the other wolves safe is to leave her mountain refuge and hole up with a human cop in a small house which feels like a cage. The cop is very hot and her wolf is getting overexcited but fed-up, so she decides to slip away to meet a secretive art-collector. Kaden's protective side goes into overdrive and as he is an alpha's alpha he finds himself with a wild heat that threatens to burn them both down. Can Kaden continue to protect and serve by taming the wildest Wilding or will the Wolf Hunter catch them both?

I am in two minds about this story - on the one side I loved the story and the Kaden side of the events and emotions that were happening, but on the other side, I absolutely detested Terra and what a spoilt bitch she was plus how she exhibited such bad behaviour. I know shifters have true mates but she really stretched that point and I really don't think she deserved to find her mate after behaving how she did. So whilst it was well written in that I could feel the thoughts and emotions of the characters, I really didn't like the plot sections involving Terra most of the time. Contains explicit sexual content.
