ShadowWolfe is the 8th book in the de Wolfe Pack series. I really had such a blast with this one here. I did a combo variation of listening to this one and reading this on my kindle scribe. I really had a blast with this one though. This is an author that writes historical romance so authentically and you can tell she knows her history and really portrays it so well in her style of storytelling. Every time I pick her up, I am always impressed with how well her books are written and the same was true for this one.

In ShadowWolfe, this story is basically a forced proximity situation. The hero, Scott, is a widower. He lost his wife and children in a horrific accident and focused on being a battle seasoned warrior and knight and distanced himself from his family. Now its been years since, and he is commanded to take over the Castle Canaan when the man who was a husband and father and leader of Canaan, was killed sacrificing himself to save his life. What he doesn't expect is to be drawn to his widow, who is a mother of two children and pregnant with the third. Even though King Edward has plans for her, he is determined to fight for her when he finds himself in her again and feeling love again...

I absolutely adored this book. The romance was a bit lackluster in the first half of the book, which is why its a 4 star instead of a 5 star read. I really adore the way that this author just makes history come alive. She adds in such vivid detail that works so well. Both the characters were so loveable, I really became so endeared by the way that Scott fights to marry the heroine. It was so wonderful seeing the way that Scott finds himself again and faces up to his past and learns to heal. The way that this was implemented was so well done and authentic. The emotion that the author portrays was so vibrant and I was able to connect to on such a deep level.

Overall I found ShadowWolfe to be a delightful, thrilling historical adventure that delivered in so many ways! UTTERLY A JOY TO READ!
