Standoff by Lauren Dane

It’s the law of the Pack—or anarchy.

A Cascadia Wolves story.

BLURB:

For most of his life, Cade Warden has put the needs of his Pack first, setting aside everything else—even the emptiness he feels from having no mate. But Warren Pellini and his thugs have a biological weapon, threatening everything Cade holds dear.

Into his intensely focused, lonely life walks the woman he’s been waiting for.

Packless for many years, Grace Pellini has edged back into the good graces of her evil brother, walking a dangerous line to gather information to aid the Nationally Allied Packs. Cade is everything she could have hoped for in a man and a mate, even if he can be pushy and overprotective.

In the midst of their rising passion and desperate search for the key to disabling the weapon, Pellini raises the stakes by calling an ancient Challenge.

Now it’s Grace’s turn to put her protective instincts aside and stand by, Cade’s life in her hands, as her mate risks everything for his people.

Warning: Hot sexin’ of an Alpha-wolf type nature, some violence due to meddling werewolf mafia involvement, bad words that may end up the subject of a letter to the editor.

Okay, if you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know what a big Lauren Dane fan I am, especially when it comes to her werewolves. Standoff is the latest installment in the Cascadia Wolves series and it doesn't disappoint.

Emotions run high as the themes of betrayal and family ties are pushed to the limits. Fans of this series have been waiting for Cade's story since book 1 and Lauren Dane delivers a story that will not disappoint. Grace certainly knows how to handle herself, and not just with alpha Cade, but with the rest of the pack. Cade will fight the ultimate battle for his pack and for his mate.

Not to be missed. Pick up Standoff on Tuesday, March 4th from Samhain Publishing.
