Wolf by Penelope BlackMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Wolf is book one in the new ‘The
Brotherhood’ series by Penelope Black. The story is a fast paced read and
focuses on Alaina who although having a complicated relationship with her
mother, is all too willing to go and spend the summer with her in the guise of
spending time together and wanting to build a relationship. The only problem is
that her mother seems to love dropping bombshells on Alaina such as having a
new fiancée, living in a huge mansion and jetting off somewhere as soon as
Alaina arrives…..oh and she will also have three new step-brothers once her mum
is married.
I really loved the beginning of this
book where we saw Alaina graduation from her boarding school with her two
female twin cousins (who are hilarious), singing in a bar, meeting a random stranger
and just trying to be her best self. She is then thrust into a life where there
are so many secrets it’s hard for her to keep track. The biggest secret is
whether or not her new family are part of the ‘mafia’. Alaina certainly has an
inner strength and that can be seen when she takes on Wolf and his brothers.
Although the book is mainly about the development of Alaina and Wolf’s
relationship, we see the start of Alaina’s relationship with Rush and Sully…..with
some huge twists thrown into the mix to keep you guessing and some rather
steamy scenes between Alaina and Wolf.
Now onto Wolf! I love these bad boy
type characters who have redeeming qualities. Not only is he tattooed, super
sexy and at times a larrikin, he has an enormous bond with his brothers and
father which transcends throughout the whole story. Even though he is
suspicious of Alaina to begin with, he has an intense attraction to her which
he hasn’t felt before and at times throughout the book we see that it makes him
nervous.
There is a lot going on in this book
and it is going to keep you guessing and leave you with a huge cliff-hanger at
the end! But you’re going to love it. The book is certainly a different twist
on the RH, mafia style books that are out right now.
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
