Black Hills Wolves
Claiming the She-Wolf by Louisa Bacio

When her older brother leaves the Black Hills to go to college, Tala Graystone stays behind, determined to restore their dilapidated home into a B&B for the pack. As more people return to the area, the need for temporary housing increases. Now, if only she can find someone to help with the heavy lifting.

Yas Collins fled Los Lobos as a child with his mother. As he struggles with his wolf and overpowering shifts, a desire for nature and the forest strikes hard. Black Hills, South Dakota, beckons him. With a background in construction, he easily finds work at Tala’s dilapidated B&B, but not everyone in town greets him with open arms.

As the remodel gets underway, Tala and Yas fight their growing attraction. Yas doesn’t trust his wolf urges around beautiful B&B owner. The she-wolf, however, has other plans.

I took a gamble on this read. I’ve never read one of Louisa Bacio books; have to tell you I’m now a reader. She does an amazing job at giving you something worth your time.  Claiming the She –Wolf was just a good light read, keeps you wondering what is coming.

You are taken in to a shifter town as Yas returns back to his roots. He meets up with Tala who is determined to stay in Los Lobos as her bother leaves to college. Tala is very independent person which makes it hard to accept help from anyone. Tala is opening a B&B that is in desperate need of repair. Tala comes just at the right time. Taking Tala up on the offer for Room and board in exchanged for his handyman services is the perfect fit.

These two are so attracted to each other they are fighting a losing battle. Just as things are looking up trouble comes to call. Can these two pull through all that is to come? You are going to have to read to find out.

I am usually very picky when it comes to shifter reads, telling you that I could not put this one down is saying a lot. It’s a short read that keeps you wanting more from the fist page to the last. I enjoy every second spent reading. Looking forward to more from Louise Bacio!

Excerpt from Claiming the She-Wolf:

A growl from low in his throat threatened to escape. The rumble started in his chest, and he fought to keep it down.

She turned, looking down at him. “Did you say something?”

“Umm, no. Just clearing my throat.”

He needed to get his base instincts under control. Recent research showed that wolves in the wild killed in order to protect their domains and to get more space. He didn’t want to be ruled by his wolf. He’d grown up in the city, with humans, not out in the forest. His mom had tried to talk to him about shifting, but as a woman, she didn’t have the same experience.

He couldn’t go to a shifters anonymous group for help with his sexual urges. Maybe he needed to start his own support group. He snorted at the idea. At the top of the landing, Tala turned to the right, and he followed.

They entered what had to be the master bedroom suite. It was painted a vibrant lavender color, and the bed had a green floral comforter with an abundance of fluffy throw pillows. White dollies rested on the two nightstands, and a vase of wildflowers called for attention. The feminine room seemed in sharp contrast to his host. She didn’t look frilly.

“This will be your quarters.” Her lips pursed, and she blinked a few times.

The idea shocked him. “What? I’m sorry, but it looks like your room.”

“Well, it has been. But it’s the nicest room in the house, and as a guest, figure you should have it to be comfortable. I’ll move my things into another one.”

He waved his hands in front of him, as if shooing away something physically bad. “No way. No can do. Give me the second best, then. My first job can be fixing it up.”

She smiled. “Well, second best would be my brother’s room, and even though he’s on a trip right now, I don’t feel comfortable moving his stuff. So third best, and we work today to make it more, um, livable?”

Her choice of words made him pause. “Deal.”
