The Phoenix Pack #2
Wicked Cravings
Despite having been besotted with Dante Garcea since she was a child, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow figures that it’s time to move past the crush. If he wanted her, he wouldn’t have ignored her flirtatious behavior, right? Hiding her intense attraction to him isn’t easy – especially now that they're part of the same pack again – but with bigger issues to worry about and with the submissive wolf act to maintain, Jaime is resolute on moving forward. Now if only the workaholic control-freak would let her…
As the pack Beta, Dante doesn't have the space or time in his life for a relationship. As such, he ignores his intense hunger for the willful – and sometimes crazy – Jaime. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante finds that he doesn’t like losing her attention. He finds something else too – Jaime's hiding something. Determined to uncover her secret, he sets out to break through her defenses, even though being around her intensifies his cravings for her. What he finds is a problem that Jaime is convinced not even a powerful Beta can solve.

“Keep giving me attitude, baby. I’m looking forward to fucking it right out of you.”
Wow Wicked Cravings is another Great book in the Phoenix Pack series . This one was a emotional roller coster for me. I was screaming at my kindle, smiling, laughin, and tearing up while reading this book and was so hooked I couldn't put it down!
“You marked me, you son of a bitch! Maybe you didn’t hear me before, Popeye, but I’m none of your goddamn business! Being my Beta doesn’t give you the right to mark me! I could have been your business, could have been yours to mark, but you don’t want me! Well someone else does, and if I want to fuck him, I goddamn motherfucking will!”
Though Dante and Jaime got off to a rough start thanks to Dante fighting his feelings for her I Enjoyed Dante and Jaime's story a little more than the first one. Only because Dante didn't share his woman, no tag teamin here! That was why the first book didn't get five stars.
Dante:
Dante is sexy, protective, and a bit on the controlling side, but sweet. He is beta of the wolf pack and won't think twice about rippin someone apart to protect those he cares for. He is a total workaholic that doesn't know how to let go and let others help. He is all about order and neatness. Everything is black and white and he is all about sticking to the rules! Sometimes he comes off as a little insensitive to others feelings, because he doesn't have a lot of close relationships, but he has a good heart.
“Let me tell you what you’re going to do now. You’re going to turn around and walk away. Simple. If you don’t, I will gut you open right here, right now,” he said very matter-of-factly. “And then I’ll feed your intestines to you. From what I hear, they don’t taste great. Want to find out if that’s true?”
“Look at me, Jaime. Look at me.” Finally, she did. “I want this. I’m keeping you. If you think you have a choice, that’s not my problem.” “Keeping me? I’m not a stray kitten, I’m a person.” “If you were a stray kitten, I’d give you a kick up the ass and walk away.” She did a double take. “You’d kick a kitten?” “I’d kick Hunk if I didn’t think the gremlin would eat my foot.”
“Baby, I’m always horny when you’re around, especially when you’re all naked and wet like this. But seeing you all assertive, possessive, and protective of our mating gets me instantly hard. Want to play gynecologists again?”
Jaime:
Jaime is a spitfire, wild child with a smart mouth who likes to bend the rules . She likes to have fun, and is very playful. Her wolf has been emotionally traumatized so she can't shift for fear that her wolf would go crazy and hurt someone. She is a fighter who doesn't back down from Dante or anyone else.
“Thanks. That really means a lot coming from a backstabbing, rumor-spreading, attention-seeking, black hole of need. But then, I suppose it’s a good thing that you’re spreading something besides your legs.”
“You’re not a bad person,” she told him, knowing where his thoughts had taken him. “I’m not saying you’re perfect. You’re cocky and a know-it-all and you’re addicted to working. But you’ve got a nice big dick and great bedroom skills, so I’m willing to overlook all that.”
“You, you, you—that’s all I hear. Let’s revisit the facts, big guy. I was the one this happened to. I was the one who should have died yesterday. And I’m the one who’s been getting called Limp-A-Lot all damn morning. But wait, no, you’re the victim here, aren’t you? So sad. Well, I hope that pity plane you’re on malfunctions and hits the ground like a goddamn dart!”
“Know this, too if you ever get an idea like that again, I’ll know, baby, and I’ll spank your ass so damn hard there’ll be a permanent handprint right there.” She gave him a cheeky smile. “As long as you understand there’ll be a matching one on your face.”
I love Jaime and Dante together they have the whole odd couple thing going on. Polar opposites that balance each other out. When they come together Dayum! OMG Suzanne Wright can write a steamy love scene. When Dante claimed Jaime Hott!!!! . I will say that Dante and Jaime did remind me a little of Trey and Taryn because both couples where Strong willed , controlling, Alpha types but they were different enough that i didn't care. Beside I love kick butt heroines! I loved seeing the gang again, and getting more time with Trey and Taryn. I laughed so hard at Taryn in labor.
“I can’t do this! Just leave her in there. She’ll be fine.” “You’re doing really well,” Lydia assured her. “No, I’m done! I’m tired, I’m sweaty, I’m in agony, and why do I feel like I need to shit?” “It’s totally natural to feel that way,” said Grace in a placatory, calming voice. “Some women even have one during labor.” “What?” The word dripped with horror. “Women can shit when they’re in labor? Tell me that won’t happen to me! Don’t you let me shit, Grace!” A loud, lengthy cry signaled that she was having another contraction. Trey’s voice was soft and encouraging. “Just breathe, baby.” “I am fucking breathing! And why does this gas and air make me sound like Darth Vader?” “Here, how about I move it out the way for—” “Don’t you touch it,” she growled at him. “It’s mine. Understand? Mine.” “Okay, okay, you keep it, it’s yours.” “Wanna try it?” “No thanks, baby.”
Wicked Cravings was fast pace, and had lots of drama. Towards the end there is a big thing that happens that tore my heart out and had me in tears. Their HEA was so good it gave me the warm fuzzies. Great read I can't wait to read the next one!
Below I leave a few of my favorite quotes:
“So close that I’m seriously considering clawing off your balls and feeding them to you. Not because I’m losing control, but because you’re an ass.”
“And I can’t do it because, what? Because I’m a female? I’ll have you know that there are plenty of things women can do that men can’t.” Tao snickered. “Like what?” “Well, bend over in prison, for one. Multitask, ask for directions, belly flop with dignity, bleed for five days every month yet not die—”
Taryn gave Jaime a pleading look. “Any tips on how to deal with Old Mother Hubbard here? You’ve known her longer than I have.” Jaime pursed her lips. “Don’t get light in her eyes, don’t get her wet, and never feed her after midnight.”
“What, you don’t like being pregnant?” Trick frowned. “I thought females loved it.” Taryn pursed her lips. “Let’s see…I’m constantly tired, emotional, hungry, and horny. Most of my clothes don’t fit, my back always aches, and I can’t see my feet. It’s such a magical experience. Oh, and I walk like a fat, deformed penguin.”

This book would have been so much better if it didn't have:
1. A heroine that was so similar to the one from the first book
Their problem is almost the same, just with a slight twist.
She talks and behaves like the previous heroine.
Still, she was not as awesome as the previous heroine.
More like a washed-out copy.
So I was not happy with her.
2. Such a boring story
Honestly, I was NOT interested in anything that happened here.
Well again, to be honest, nothing much happened at all.
I started skimming the last third of the book because I just wanted it to END already!!
3. Such an idiotic villain
Don't know if any of you watch soap operas, especially those from Mexico, but they have some serious idiotic villains. And this one here reminded me of a Mexican telenovela villain, extremely one-dimensional, and with only one thought in their heads, to have one of the MCs. That person will do anything just to break them apart and while reading this, I kinda expected to see them bursting in evil laughing, or talking to themselves making evil plans and looks.
At the end when everything was revealed... Oh God I actually wanted to give it one star just because of how it was done.
This book would have been so much better if it had more of:
1. Hot sex
It's actually the only thing that kept me going and it's the only reason I didn't DNF.
This author really, really knows how to write hot sex scenes and this book was worth reading ONLY because of them.
If only there were more :DDDDD
2. Delicious hero
He was pretty great I have to admit, although i just wished he was MORE. More i don't know what but there it is. Maybe cause I found the whole book boring, the characters were the same to me, but a least i liked this guy. He was yummy. Hmm maybe it's the hot sex that made me like him??
Btw I noticed another thing, and I mean really!!! Even in the third book, there will be a problem with
In all three books the same thing will prevent them for being together???? Well, the same thing, with a little twist.
I'm still looking forward to Shaya and Nick, don't get me wrong, I'll definitely read it, I just hope it won't be so similar to the first two.
So that's it. Two stars just for the uber-hot sex.

Finally some more of the Phoenix Pack
"You’re not a bad person,”...“I’m not saying you’re perfect. You’re cocky and a know-it-all and you’re addicted to working. But you’ve got a nice big dick and great bedroom skills, so I’m willing to overlook all that.
Dear Dante,
I thought I was gonna love your book. But you were a complete let down. You refused to claim your mate until she stopped pining after you and started ignoring you. That makes you a self centered ass. You weren't interested in being with her until she attempted to date other men. That makes you a selfish jerk.
Once you two finally started dating, you would only make time for her if sex was involved. You didn't think she was important enough to return her phone calls, and would avoid seeing her until it was time to go to bed. But then again, bedtime equals sextime so she was worth your time. When she finally confronted you on your short comings, you over compensated by attempting to control everything about her life.
Though you are the beta of the pack, you are a horrible excuse for a man. I am sorry that sweet, sassy Jaime had to put up with your shit.
You will forever be one of my least favorite heroes.
Sincerely,
Sammy
He dropped his forehead to hers. “I know I’m a little fucked up. Don’t give up on me baby. I’m not saying that things will suddenly be perfect. I’m a guy, and guys can be stupid. I admit I need the room to mess up a little. I can’t promise I won’t piss you off again, but I can promise you that I’ll never deliberately hurt you. Nothing is more important to me than you. Nothing.
Dear Jaime,
You've got a lot of spunk and sass. So much so, that I started wondering if you were Tara's personality clone. You were a patient saint to wait for Dante as long as you did. If you hadn't grown a set of balls and continued to be his doormat, you two would have never gotten together. So I speak for all the women of the world when I say, "Thanks for not taking anymore of his shit and teaching him a lesson.
As for your other issue, I'm glad you were able to work that out and that Dante redeemed himself in the end!
Your biggest fan,
Sammy
I’ll spank your ass so damn hard there’ll be a permanent handprint right there.”
She gave him a cheeky smile. “As long as you understand there’ll be a matching one on your face.
This was a solid 3.5 star, even with my strong dislike of Dante. I love Suzanne's heroines. They're strong, sassy, and independent. I look forward to much more of the Phoenix pack!!

4.5 stars
I am so glad that I decided to pick up the second book in the Phoenix Pack series! I loved Feral Sins, and this book is just as entertaining. I never seem to want to put these books down once I start reading them.
I particularly love the way Suzanne Wright writes the female characters in this series. They are strong, smart, sarcastic, and ballsy. No damsels in distress here! The alpha males are pretty amazing, too. They may act like cavemen sometimes, but they genuinely care about and respect each other, their mates, and the rest of their pack.
Wicked Cravings focused on the characters of Dante and Jaime, but we still get to see all of the characters we know and love from the first book. Dante and Jaime are a bit of an odd couple, but that is part of what makes them so fun to read about. They drive each other crazy in every way possible. Both characters have emotional issues due to their pasts, and they help each other overcome them together. I enjoyed Dante's character in the first book, but I love him so much more now. I am glad that we are going to learn more about each character as the series progresses. I have no doubt that I will be moving on to the next book in the series very soon.

REREAD ON JULY 29-31 st, 2019!
I am super glad I did a reread of Dante and Jaime’s book! I am now caught up and can continue on to book three in the series! I am excited because everything is fresh in my mind and I am eager to see what will happen with Nick and Shaya!
I stand by what I originally said about this series! It’s awesome and highly entertaining! The sex is super hot and the men in this series are possessive, loyal, honourable. Current stories just don’t seem to have a lot of those qualities in the heroes anymore... or it’s getting harder to find. My fingers are crossed that the next book will be just as enjoyable!
After reading Feral Sins- Book #1; I had high hopes for Wicked Cravings, and I must say that Suzanne Wright did not disappoint me in the slightest! I LOVE her one liners and the humor she has in them!! My Kindle is lit up like a Christmas tree with the amount of highlights I have throughout the whole story! The characters are ones that I have loved from the start, and I'm so looking forward to future installments. I have my fingers crossed for the next book to be about Nick and Shaya; I am dying to see these two get together!
This book is about Dante, the Pack's Beta; and Jamie, who has a big secret hidden inside that she is terrified to reveal to her pack. This couple have a history together as well. They have known each other for many years from another pack, and Dante has always felt protective over Jamie, and she has been extremely attracted to him. Jamie has become frustrated though, as Dante has made it very clear that he wants no relationship due to his own past hurts. Jamie decides to lay off of Dante, and try and move on. Of course when that happens, Dante doesn't so much like that Jamie seems indifferent to him and he sets out to find out why all of a sudden she is backing off. The sexual tension between these two is on fire, and when they finally do give in to their desires it is HOT!! I love how possessive Dante is, and how he is willing to put Jamie before anything else.. Jamie is a kick ass female, and she is loyal as well as tough to her core.
I loved how Dante was willing to stand with Jamie, and protect her even when most of the pack seemed like they were against her. He never gave up on her and for that he has ended up to be my favorite male of the whole pack.
This series is a must read! It has everything a great paranormal romance should have: entertaining, action packed, hot sex,and loads of humor! If hot shifters are your things, don't miss out on the "Phoenix Pack", they are hands down hard to beat!

"Do you know what you taste like? Sin. You taste like sin."
Does anyone here have a handle on what exactly sin tastes like? I'm going to go with chicken. No wait, make that real chicken.
MMMMMMMMMMM.....YUMMY SIN.
3.5 stars. Erotic PNR has a new good thing going on here. Between the ample presence of steam, the generous amount of playful banter, and the addition of two varied back-stories which played on our emotions, there was a well-rounded package of fluff for me to latch on to.
Scenes that rocked it out :
~ The bathroom ass-kicking scene
~ The mate claiming scene (scorching!)
~ The "reigning in the wolf" section
I always appreciate when problems are not solved instantly, but instead are worked out as an ongoing road to healing. Jaime's journey is not yet finished but we were shown where things were headed.
These moments made me smile :
"Want to see what I've got?"
"That depends, does it itch and is it contagious?"
"I'll fuck you so hard, you'll think I hate you."
I'm sort of divided on how to analyze the humor in Wicked Cravings. If there hadn't been any humor, no one would have liked the book because it would have been too drastically different from what many of us enjoyed about the first installment. Then again, if there's too much humor of the sarcastic kind, you're almost stuck with having to rip on the characters for being replicas of the last couple. Fortunately, I felt like this story didn't sway too heavily on either side and I was okay with the few similarities between the first and second stories. We'll see how that holds up with book 3.
Can I mention how I'm not a fan of the shit jokes? Does anyone like shit jokes over the age of 10? Uh...no. Reading about people who can't stop talking about their need to poop (during childbirth and also while engaging in anal sex...) is just strange and not in a a hah-hah that's kind of cute way.
It's sort of funny when you have main characters who talk about shit and Greta's still stuck in the stone ages with her sexual terms. Greta's a crafty bitch. Her insults have been epic thus far. Fornication isn't cutting it.
Overall, I was happy enough. The "brand new" magic from book 1 wasn't as present and the book was a touch longer than it needed to be, but the writing felt more polished this time around.
Yet, I still can't seem to run from the love/sex/drug references! It never ends!
Her incredible, sinful smell assaulted him and was like a narcotic to both him and his wolf.

HOLY MOTHER OF COCK WAS THIS BOOK.....
I am one satisfied reader!
Since I'm so late to this party, I'll keep my review short and sweet.
I loved Jamie. She was strong, determined, witty, vulnerable, protective, honest and filled with
She was the perfect balance to Dante's Beta.
And Dante...oh, Dante...
He was just the best combination of assertive, dominant and possessive Alpha with supportive, passionate, loyal and caring mate. He stood by Jamie every step of the way and refused to let her give up on her pack, their relationship or herself.
And the sex....HOLY FUCKING FUCK....the sex was off the charts fantastic. Passion, fire, dirty talk, chemistry....you name it and it was here. We're talking Grade A, panties off, ovaries exploded and may they rest in peace hottness!
Because I'm so generous, here's a snippet of one of my favorite scenes.
"Beg me, Jamie. Beg me, and I'll fuck you as hard as you want."
"As hard as I want?"
"I'll fuck you so hard you'll think I hate you. Beg me, Jamie."
You're welcome.
To Glory and Laurie I say...
Seriously you whores....get a fucking clue.
I had a hard time putting this book down. I don't read much PNR and after finishing this book, I seriously wonder why? This book gave me everything I look for in a romance....a fantastic Alpha male, a sassy and strong heroine, blazing hot chemistry, a romance to fall in love with and root for and a plot that won't let me put the book down.
I do have to admit, a negative I have with this book (and I can't remember if it was this way in the first book) but the POV flips flops back and forth a lot. It can get a little confusing at times, especially when it goes back and forth every other paragraph.
Other than that, this series is fantastic!! I've enjoyed the first two books in this series and can't wait to see what else is in store for the members of this pack!

I didn't love it as much as Feral Sins...but not that much less... Still 5 Stars!
Suzanne Wright is definitely on my favorite author list these days. I always really enjoy everything she writes. In this second series installment, she took us back to the Phoenix Pack for Beta Dante's story.
I REALLY loved Dante. I enjoyed Jamie too, but sometimes she seemed a little too much like Taryn, namely in her dealings with Greta; however, Jamie was different enough from Taryn that it's not like they were carbon copies...just eerily similar, but I find that's common in series like this and it didn't bother me that much.
For me, the chemistry between the characters trumps everything and Wright always brings that to the table in spades. She definitely brought it in this one.
Wright continued the pave the way for the Shaya/Nick story line that she begun in Feral Sins. I really hope their story comes next...and I REALLY hope it comes out soon. The wait for this one seemed soooo long and Shaya and Nick's story has all the elements to be soooo awesome!

5 stars
I really wasn’t expecting much from this book, I was a bit scared to tell you the truth, I didn’t know HOW this would ever live up to Feral Sins ?!? I am happy to say, I was sooo freakin wrong, love love love when this happens… it’s means I get all happy and I get to add another fav to my list. It was everything I loved about the first one, the humor, the alphaness, the HOT ass SEX scenes … LOVED it ALL!
**********************************************
Jaime has a secret, and it’s not that she’s had a crush on her Beta Dante for like forever, nope; it’s a secret that would get her kicked out of the pack. Dante has his job, his pack is all that he needs, he doesn’t need a mate to complicate it all, especially when he has Jaime fawning over him, he may not be able to touch but he can definitely look and enjoy her attention...that is at least until she decides to take the attention elsewhere.
Jaime knows there is no easy way to get over Dante, but she has to try, she has to have some sense of pride left, after all these years she needs to move on, the frustrating man doesn’t want her and she isn’t interested in finding her mate, but that doesn’t mean her libido can’t get some attention. Unfortunately for her, Dante isn’t too thrilled with her seeking relief with someone else’s cock
Jaime gets the attention of Dante’s psycho one night stand and according to Dante she is in need of his protection, not only from the crazy bitch but from herself. Jaime has no choice but to share her secret but is more than happy with the benefits that come with her new protection
Dante and Jaime are nothing alike, where "He was a stickler for rules, whereas Jaime saw them as suggestions." There's just something about her that calls to him, and there is nothing more he wants than to see this dominant female to submit to him. They both don’t know how to handle each other, she’s frustrated with his over-protectiveness and he’s annoyed that she is ignoring every command and she's holding back from giving herself all to him
Dante and Jaime, have a lot to deal with; his priorities, the reaction of the pack to her secret, psycho bitches that cause nothing but trouble and the power that Jaime’s issue has over their relationship, but it all made for some interesting story telling.
****************************************
Loved the story, loved all the laughs and of course all the sexiness. I missed the entire pack and I’m in need of Nick and Shaya’s story, even though at the moment I wanna kick his ass, this alpha has some major groveling to do and Shaya better get her ass ready for a major spanking, I can’t wait!
"A frustrated growl escaped him. “How about I just shove my cock in your mouth? That should shut you up. Hey!” he whined when she drummed her fingers against his temple. “What’re you doing?”
She shrugged. “I just felt like tapping some ass.”
His mouth dropped open. Her smirk had him growling again. “Bitch.”
“Jerk.”

”His ego cared, but that was different— Jaime’s abrupt indifference was a blow, and no dominant wolf reacted well to an ego blow.”

“You won’t be jumping into some guy’s bed, Jaime. You’ll be in mine. Oh yeah, deny it if you want, but we both know it’s going to happen. I’m getting inside that pussy. You’re going to take every inch of me, and you’re going to love it.”

“A grunt that sent vibrations through the nipple that his mouth had been latched onto for most of the night. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he’d also kept two fingers buried inside her. So yeah, she was horny to the point of crankiness.”

“I’m not saying you’re perfect. You’re cocky and a know-it-all and you’re addicted to working. But you’ve got a nice big dick and great bedroom skills, so I’m willing to overlook all that.”

While I enjoyed reading this for the most part, where I struggled was with Jaime. At times her immaturity was more than a little obnoxious. Some of the shit she says is stupidly ridiculous and very "try-hard". Case in point when Dante is trying to talk to her about the mating bond : "On a serious note, did you bang your head or something, sweetie? Or maybe you're talking in code. Yeah, I don't understand code. I can speak Thundercat." -.- It seems to me the author tried to emulate some of the same traits as Taryn (who I loved by the way) and fell short. Way short. Her one liners don't even come close to the same realm. I was genuinely annoyed as shit by Jamie. Especially in her exchanges with Greta. She had some redeeming qualities but they get overshadowed. Dante I liked. Despite the little stress to his loyalty I could get behind his character. The sex is hot as hell. I was a little peeved at how some of the pack members reacted to Jaime but when they're protecting an Alpha I can see the other side of the argument. The plot was good though I figured out who it was as soon as the character saw some page time. I'd like to see this series through though this one was a bit of a let down. Safety: No OW/OM/Sharing though h pretends to be dating OM and dances with OM in an effort to get over H. No condoms. Neither are Vs. No rape. Yes to abuse. Yes to pushing away.

Wicked Cravings (The Phoenix Pack, #2) BY Suzanne Wright.
Genres:Paranormal Romance/Shapeshifters/Erotica
-Kindle Edition, 389 pages.
Wicked Cravings is obviously the second book is(The Phoenix Pack,series )
and what a series! what a pack! The pack members are just too much for words to describe them. Great characters, loved all of them. ALL OF THEM.
I'm not sure about the Author's plans to make more book other than the third one Tremors of Need. Nick and Shaya's story which is expected release in 2014 people!!!
I want more of this series. i'm super curious about Dominic though, i really want to read his story, so hopefully there would be plans for that in the future.
Back to this book. It was great! basically it was a continue for the first one, but through different characters' eyes .
These two are awesome together, there were so much chemistry. They struggled in the beginning i was yelling at him to either fuck her, or talk to her!
Finally he did both ;)
and >I< was happy :D
Jaime has been "crushing" on Dante since they were kids, she followed him around, as she was 4 years younger than him, and a chubby kid, people used to tease him and make fun of her. He has always been protective of her, and what Jaime didn't know at the time that even she annoyed him but her being away has annoyed him ever more.
But when Dante was a teen and the whole Trey and the exile thing. Dante and his friends choose to go with him ( which was the begging of the Phoenix Pack). at the end of book 1 we know that he defeated his uncle and some of his old pack wanted to join and these were Jaime and her brother Gabe .
So now she was done following her like she was a 10 years old, she was over him , but his ego didn't take it well!
He got very possessive and jealous, he wanted her for himself, but he has one rule, don't fuck any female in the pack, beside other than being the Beta, in the past he was hurt deeply by a bitch!
so he doesn't do relationships. he was busy, and wounded.
“You told me you don’t do relationships.”
“I don’t. It only ends up a mess when true mates come along” ...
“Then why? Why ask for more.”
A slight pause. “Because you matter.”
but he wanted her, and try telling all those stupid rules to his horny wolf.
He got her.
As the story goes we see that Jaime was severely broken, and hurt. Dante was there for her, he helped her over come the pain and the nightmares.
The steamy scenes and the possessiveness in this book was not different from the first book. Dominant man fighting for control and a mouthy equally Dominant female refusing to give him control, it was very amusing to read.
“Know this, too: if you ever get an idea like that again, I'll know, baby, and I'll spank your ass so damn hard there'll be a permanent handprint right there."
"She gave him a cheeky smile. "As long as you understand there'll be a matching one on your face.”
“Jaime, don’t ignore me!” Without breaking stride, she glanced at him over her shoulder. “It’s not that I’m ignoring you. I’ve just lost interest in the conversation.”
I though this book was full with emotions, it was sad,funny whether in the narration or the dialogue between the characters .
"Her pulse went into overdrive and her clit decided hey, what the hell, I will, too"
“Greta: At one point, you practically stalked poor Dante.
Jamie: Stalked? No, I just watched him. At night. From behind a bush. Using night-vision googles.”
“Jamie: Maybe you could stop being a neat freak and ease off with barking orders at me.
Dante: I resent the neat-freak statement. And I do not bark.
Jamie: Sure you don't, Popeye.
Dante: And it wouldn't kill you to use the shoe rack. I mean, it's right by the door.
Jamie: Stop putting my CD's in chronological order, and I'll work on the shoe rock thing.
Dante: How about alphabetical order?
Jamie: How about you go to therapy?”
“He’d sort of expected the silent treatment. Maybe she wasn’t pissed after all.
“Hey, baby, where are you?”
“Why the fuck do you care?”
No, she was definitely pissed.”
“Lines are for people who are sad and pathetic. Let’s just fuck.”
The end was very sad, everything has collide together, but it got all better in the last chapter. yaaay
Some people said that they liked the first one better, i have to disagree, i loved both of them equally. You can't compare them even because although it revolved around kind of the same people but the plot was VERY different. So you can't compare them .
this one was more about Trust,love, getting control over YOURSELF as well and YOUR WOLF.plus getting over your fears and letting someone in to help you.And keep you safe
I can't say anymore without giving major spoilers so i'll just stop typing and you better go read it.
To be recommended to 18+ < From my opinion

*****5 WOLFISH STARS*****
Before I say anything about this book, I want to thank Suzanne Wright. You are SO beyond awesome woman! Providing us readers with such AMAZING reading material. Filled with hilarious and fierce characters, dramatic and intriguing plots and a whole lot of steamy lovin', that would surely get anyone's rocks off :D
Only a fantastic author as yourself, can make me desperate to read the next in the series, when I had only started reading this book.
Suzanne Wright...
Moving on to the FABULOUS Phoenix Pack series, all I can say is WOW! I don't think words can describe how much I loved this series. Especially the pack. A bunch of sexy, sarcastic, fun motherfuckers...GOTTA LOVE MY BOYS xx
Not that the females aren't lovable. They are what make this Pack whole and so freaking awesome!!
I seriously loved Dante in Feral Sins, he was funny, laid back and supportive. But I saw a completely different Dante in this book. Under his laid back and supportive Beta personality, was a fierce, highly dominant, overly organised and emotionally closed of wolf. I really wanted to hug him after reading about his past...but also kick his ass for being so thick headed when it came to Jamie.
"You answer a kind of...need inside me that I hadn't known I had. Do you hear me? I need you."
Jamie was one seriously strong chic that could hold her own. She was fun to be around, had a smart mouth and wasn't phased by Dante's controlling ways...my kind of woman lol
How was it that she could want to gut him and kiss him at the same time?
[image error]
I really enjoyed the interactions shared between these two, especially I also loved the funny, heartfelt and steamy scenes shared between them ;)
Jamie~ "Unless you get off on watching, you might want to scamper. As you can probably tell, we're both hot and horny, and Dante's about to Google my Yahoo and Twitter my cli-"
Dante~ I love you, you know. I didn't tell you that, did I? I was too fucking proud to say it first. Please baby, You promised."
Even though I love both books in this series, I found the first book more funny and this more serious, not that that's a bad thing...this still had its LOL moments ;)
My favorite funny bits obviously all include Dominic.
"Aw, don't say that about yourself Taryn." begged Dominic. "Your beautiful. If you were words on a page, you would be what they call 'fine print.'"
"How many times do I need to tell you to stop using those lines on my mate?"
Dominic placed a hand over his heart. "I try, I really do, but my love for her is like diarrhea- I just can't hold it in."
I'm sure the pack would love to do this to Dominic every time he shared one of his perverted lines lol
So by now you know that I'm obsessed with this series and had to be literally dragged away from my kindle to sleep.

For him, it was another way to mark her as his. He might not be able to claim her as his mate, but he could sure as hell mark her in as many ways as he could.
This was a H U G E disappointment.. I mean, come on, Dante and Jaime practically took over for Trey and Taryn... It felt like Dante was the damn Alpha of the pack, not Trey. Dante really lost my respect of how disloyal he was to Trey.. I used to LOVE Dante in Feral Sins because he was loyal, fun and fucking great, and I loved Trey and Dante's friendship, however Dante seemed to forget that as soon as Jaime came into his life..
“Look,” began Jaime, wanting to be rid of Laurie and wanting to rub reality in her face,
“unless you get off on watching, you might want to scamper. As you can probably tell, we’re both hot and horny, and Dante’s about to Google my Yahoo and Twitter my cli—”
“I’ll, um, I’ll catch you later, Dante.” She was gone in seconds.
Jaime was waaaay too much like Taryn. It's like Suzanne had just changed the name and looks, but kept the same personality for them...how Taryn acted with old Greta, her snarky comments... She even took her damn bestfriend, Shaya?! Hell no!
She nodded toward Taryn, who was laughing on the reclining end of the sectional sofa. Trey placed a possessive, protective hand on her pregnant belly. Their bond was so strong and solid it was almost visible. It had Jaime feeling a little jealous.
Perhaps I would have loved this book, or liked it more, if I had read this one first or if I didn't love Trey and Taryn so damn much.. I don't know.. But what I do know is that I found this book really boring and I considered many times to quit the book. If it wasn't for the small Trey and Taryn moments, then I'm sure I would have ended up quitting it instead of finishing it... All this book did to me was to make me tired, bored and loose respect of Dante :/ I'm out!
“You. Are. Mine. That’s it, that’s all there is to it.”
Not idea if I want to continue with this series when this book was such a disappointed? :(
Rate: 2.5-3/2 stars.

5 PHOENIX PACK STARS.
Ok gorgeous readers, as you already know my furry alpha fetish was started with 'Feral sins'. So it may come as no surprise to you that I was taking my slice of PNR cake and eating it up with 'wicked cravings'. Yes this author knows how to make this Brit happy and if I wasn't before I'm now a fully fledged wolf loving fan.
'Feral sins' introduced us to the Phoenix pack Alpha, Trey but Ive managed to make room in my heart for this books Beta, Dante (yes, even his name did things to my reading experience).
So where to start, well I'll give you a little taster of what is all about ... Jamie Farrow is hiding a little more than her long term crush on beta male Dante Garcea. She's having trouble controlling her 'damaged' wolf and her insatiable desire for the one thing she has long desired. Trouble is when the object of her affections doesn't have time for a relationship where does that leave room for love? Once again this book slams you right into the world of shape shifting wolves, a world where possession, jealously and finding yourself means everything. A story where there's everything to loose and a whole lot more to gain.
Now onto the nitty gritty ~ The characters, well a review wouldn't be a review unless I eulogised over my furry friends.
In this second story of the series we get to know Dante Garcia the beta member of the Phoenix pack. He is Serious, possessive, domineering, dedicated to his job of protecting the pack and as an added bonus outlandishly gorgeous. His character is played out brilliantly and this story shows his struggle between the dedication of his job and allowing himself happiness.
Onto our heroine Jaime, much like other female characters in this authors books she is fully loveable, add to that Feisty and sassy and you've got yourself another favourite within the pack. but theres more to this shifter, with a trace of vulnerability and a painful past it made her even more likeable and real. I think most readers would be hard up not to fall a little for this gorgeous pack member, her story and beauty a package that stole my heart.
I can't talk about characters without mentioning Greta no one does evil like this Grandma, strong willed and feisty, her one liners and out right scandalous ways will have you wide eyed and laughing at what you have just read.
The author has certainly created a host of characters that made me as a reader desperate for more in the series, and I'm more than a little addicted to the phoenix pack and future books to come.
As i've proclaimed before this author can E.N.T.E.R.T.A.I.N shes got a slice of everything ~ You want sexy? Yes it's there. You want funny? Be prepared to laugh your socks off. You want hot? This is steamy. You fancy a romance? Look no further. Action your thing? It's got some of that too! Unrequited love get you going? Yes, you guessed it, it's got some.
A few quotes just in case I haven't convinced you ...
❤❤“Give me a number between one and twenty.”
Unable to see where this was going, she shrugged. “Eleven.”
“You lose. Now strip off your clothes.”
❤❤“You. Are. Mine. That’s it, that’s all there is to it.”
❤❤“She ... is everything to me. Everything. Healthy or traumatized, she’s all I want, and she’s mine.”
So my final thoughts ... If you haven't guessed my recommendation yet:
READ.THIS.SERIES
Another 5 FURRY stars and a wolffish appetite for more.
Ok gorgeous readers, as you already know my furry alpha fetish was started with 'Feral sins'. So it may come as no surprise to you that I was taking my slice of PNR cake and eating it up with 'wicked cravings'. Yes this author knows how to make this Brit happy and if I wasn't before I'm now a fully fledged wolf loving fan.
'Feral sins' introduced us to the Phoenix pack Alpha, Trey but Ive managed to make room in my heart for this books Beta, Dante (yes, even his name did things to my reading experience).
So where to start, well I'll give you a little taster of what is all about ... Jamie Farrow is hiding a little more than her long term crush on beta male Dante Garcea. She's having trouble controlling her 'damaged' wolf and her insatiable desire for the one thing she has long desired. Trouble is when the object of her affections doesn't have time for a relationship where does that leave room for love? Once again this book slams you right into the world of shape shifting wolves, a world where possession, jealously and finding yourself means everything. A story where there's everything to loose and a whole lot more to gain.
Now onto the nitty gritty ~ The characters, well a review wouldn't be a review unless I eulogised over my furry friends.

May 16, 2013
I have to lead in with one of the hottest, most possessive sexy quotes I've ever read:
Suzanne Wright is a great author to go to if you love strong willed heroines that don't take crap from their men. Jaime had me worried for a minute at the beginning of this book, as she was following Dante around like a puppy and acting way too submissive and desperate for my tastes. But rest assured, while she doesn't quite have Taryn beat for in-your-face attitude, she most assuredly holds her own.
MY SYNOPSIS:
Jaime has loved Dante since she was a kid...the chubby little annoyance for he and his friends. Now that she joined the Phoenix Pack, she once again sees him every day, and her admiration is just as strong as ever. And Jaime's wolf has nothing but tragedy and fear in her past. Even Jaime fears her own wolf, to the extent that she can't even allow herself to shift, in fear that her wolf will see everyone as a threat...even Dante.
As another obstacle, Dante's first love is his role as Beta of the pack, and it leaves no time for anything more than a quick shag. He knows of Jaime's crush, and being the good guy he is, would never take advantage of her like that. He takes his pleasure elsewhere.
Now, one of those one nighters has decided to claim Dante as her own, and as her MATE, no less! Everyone knows that her claim is false, but it's just another stress that Dante doesn't need, especially with the pack hierarchies and alliances still fairly new.
When Jaime finally gives up on Dante and tries to enter the dating pool, Dante's intense jealousy makes him wonder if there is more to the little she-wolf than he originally thought. Because once he sees her as a woman, he can't stop the rage he feels when he sees her with another male...the intensity of his feelings overpowers everything else. And his wolf is pissed! He wants the she wolf...
What's a guy to do? His role as beta must come first, and he knows that he could never truly commit to a female in fear of her resenting his responsibilities.
MY THOUGHTS:
This one didn't pack quite the punch that Feral Sins did, but there's not many females that can top Taryn's overpowering attitude. Jaime held her own, though, and proved to everyone that she's more than a background character. I'm an animal lover myself, so I latched on to the fact that she works at an animal rescue shelter...it shows an ability to empathize, a love of animals. Jaime has empathy in spades, and it takes awhile, but I love how steadfast in her devotion to Dante she was. She knows that they belong together...
My Dante...(I see all dark headed male wolves as Joe Manganiello, tee hee!)
Dante...WHEW! Another amazing dominant male who won't give up until he has what he wants. That intense kind of passion that he shows is exactly what I like to read...although, I must say, this guy is uber persistent!
Poor, confused Dante...he fights it so hard, but he just can't get away from the fact that this little submissive wolf comes to mean so much!
The sex is smoking hot, of course...Wright excels at writing intense love scenes, helped along by the fact that she can't seem to write a truly submissive character. There's something so powerful about two people who are forced into finding out how to hand over control...both of their hearts and in the bedroom!
I'm ending with some funnies, because this is such a quotable book!
While Dante is interrogating an attacker:
Taryn, while giving birth:
A nice tidbit of standoffish behavior from Jaime:
And...one last funny from the ever flirtatious Dominic:
"Beg me, Jaime. Beg me and I'll fuck you as hard as you want."
She stopped writhing. "As hard as I want?" she echoed, suddenly not so averse to the idea. No matter how many times she told him she could take his roughness, he always held back a little...
"I'll fuck you so hard you'll think I hate you. Beg me, Jaime..."

"Trey looked at him curiously. "She matters to you, doesn't she?"
Mattered to him? Dante wouldn't say she mattered to him. Yeah, okay, she mattered to him."
Poor, confused Dante...he fights it so hard, but he just can't get away from the fact that this little submissive wolf comes to mean so much!
"Look at me Jaime. Look at me." Finally, she did. "I want this. I'm keeping you. If you think you have a choice, that's not my problem..."

While Dante is interrogating an attacker:
Name." It was a demand this time, not a question.Sweat was beading the captive's forehead and greasing his hair.
"Fuck you."
"Good name, I like it. Easy to remember. Mind if I call you fuck for short?"
Taryn, while giving birth:
"Cut it out of me!" Presumably Taryn was totally ignored, because she growled, "Fine. Give me a knife, I'll do it!"
A nice tidbit of standoffish behavior from Jaime:
""Know this too: if you ever get an idea like that again, I'll know, baby, and I;ll spank you as so damn hard there'll be a permanent handprint right there."
She gave him a cheeky smile. "As long as you understand there'll be a matching one on your face."
And...one last funny from the ever flirtatious Dominic:
""How many times do I have to tell you to stop using those lines on my mate?"
Dominic placed his hand over his heart. "I try, I really do, but my love for her is like diarrhea - I just can't hold it in."

5 Glorious Panty Melting Stars!
If you still haven't read Feral Sins, what are doing sitting here reading this review? Run and read it now! seriously!
Although this can be read as a standalone, it loses so much of the background if you don't read the 1st. All my favorite characters from the past book were in this: Trey, Taryn, and even grouchy ol' Greta
"Taryn gave Jaime a pleading look. “Any tips on how to deal with Old Mother Hubbard here? You’ve known her longer than I have.” Jaime pursed her lips. “Don’t get light in her eyes, don’t get her wet, and never feed her after midnight.”
(couldn't resist)But I digress...
I had high hopes for Wicked Cravings. I was so scared that this would be a dud since how do you possibly follow up on the pure awesome that was "Feral Sins". So color me surprised and happy when this exceeded my wildest expectations. Suzanne Wright, I might have developed a girl crush on you now, and I am hoping beyond hope that you give us Nick and Shaya's story next.
But I digress again...
Dante and Jaime were fantastic characters. Jaime is now another of my all time favorite heroines. I loved her kick-butt attitude even in the light of her "predicament" so to speak. Dante...dreamy sigh
That about sums it up for me
The story was fast-paced, and had me turning the pages eagerly wanting to find out what's next. Suzanne Wright did not disappoint with the typical snarky humor that I have come to associate with her books. I found myself laughing like a loon for many parts of this book.
Just some of my favorites were:
"...there are just some girls you make a point to stay away from. Glory’s like a bowling ball. She gets picked up, fingered, and thrown in the gutter, and yet she still comes back.”
“Thanks. That really means a lot coming from a backstabbing, rumor-spreading, attention-seeking, black hole of need. But then, I suppose it’s a good thing that you’re spreading something besides your legs.”
“Dante doesn’t go easy. It’s tough.”
“And I can’t do it because, what? Because I’m a female? I’ll have you know that there are plenty of things women can do that men can’t.”
Tao snickered. “Like what?”
“Well, bend over in prison, for one. Multitask, ask for directions, belly flop with dignity, bleed for five days every month yet not die—”
“Have multiple orgasms,” offered Dominic. When Tao turned and scowled at him, he shrugged innocently. “What?”
Taryn in labor
“What?” The word dripped with horror. “Women can shit when they’re in labor? Tell me that won’t happen to me! Don’t you let me shit, Grace!” A loud, lengthy cry signaled that she was having another contraction. Trey’s voice was soft and encouraging. “Just breathe, baby.” “I am fucking breathing! And why does this gas and air make me sound like Darth Vader?” “Here, how about I move it out the way for—” “Don’t you touch it,” she growled at him. “It’s mine. Understand? Mine.” “Okay, okay, you keep it, it’s yours.” “Wanna try it?” “No thanks, baby.”
...
“Push,” encouraged Trey. “I am pushing, doofus.” A few moments later, there was a sob. “Why isn’t anything happening?” “I know you’re tired, baby, but—” “Don’t you touch me, Flintstone, this is your fault! Don’t think we’re playing Hiding Pedro ever again!” Shaya sounded stern yet amused. “Now, Taryn, that wasn’t nice.” “Cut it out of me!” Presumably Taryn was totally ignored, because she growled, “Fine. Give me a knife, I’ll do it!”
Of course what would this story be without the scorching hot sex scenes, and boy did we get them!
I loved almost everything. I wasn't big on Jaime calling Dante "Popeye" all the time. I'd just get this visual
and it would kill my buzz at times *sheepish grin*But alas, can't have it all and that really didn't have me enjoying this book any less.

FULL REVIEW TO COME
My Dante

Review posted:
4.5 "Popeye" stars
Suzanne Wright is an author you can capture the perfect moments and describes feelings so real. I loved the first book VERY MUCH , Trey duhh, so I had very big expections for this one too - of course, it does not disappint at all! All the banters, smexy scenes, a little bit of drama and no freaking angst made a really happy girl while I was reading it!
"Know this, too: if you ever get an idea like that again, I'll know, baby, and I'll spank your ass so damn hard there'll be a permanent handprint right there."
"She gave him a cheeky smile. "As long as you understand there'll be a matching one on your face."
Dante is the Beta in their pack! He is dominant, strong, silent, understanding, always there if someone needs help and also he is a little bit broody. He is not sure that he ever wants to be mated because of the baggage that comes with it. After a painful heartbreak his a still vulnerable when it comes to relationships. That changes when he meets the new member of the pack, although she is not a unknow person for him because they were always together when they were children - Jamie. . Her easy going nature and amazing body makes her too much for him to resist.
"You won’t be jumping into some guy’s bed, Jaime. You’ll be in mine. Oh yeah, deny it if you want, but we both know it’s going to happen."
Jamie is a strong-minder girl, who has attitude, her own opinion, very stubborn and also damaged . Due an accident years ago her wolf is now caged animal inside her, an animal who she is not letting to surface because of fear . Her inner battles don't stop her from trying to live her life on it's fullest. Her Beta is a man who she has always admired. Though when she stops showing her affection towards him things so chaotic. Man's ego is a big thing and Dante's one is not an exception. Their relationship is passionate, real, raw and gritty. They both have to work for it. To overcome their fears, together.
“You’re mine, Jaime. And you won’t let anyone else near my pussy, will you, baby?”
“Wanna go to bed and play doctors?”
Chuckling, she punched his arm. “No, I don’t.”
“Sorry, that was immature. How about playing gynecologists?”
Again, she chuckled.
“I would, but lunch is calling my name loud and clear.”
“Baby, I’ll call your name as loud and clear as you want.”
This book was funny, SEXY, addictive and easy to read. That's why I love this author, she manages to capture your attention so easily and the words are practically flowing. Things weren't dragging too long to happen and the plot was perfect! The jokes, OH MY GOSH , I laughed out loud so much!!! And although I found some similarities from the first book, I enjoyed this one from the first page to the last!
“Look at me, Jaime. Look at me.” Finally, she did.
“I want this. I’m keeping you. If you think you have a choice, that’s not my problem.”
“Keeping me? I’m not a stray kitten, I’m a person.”
“If you were a stray kitten, I’d give you a kick up the ass and walk away.” She did a double take. “You’d kick a kitten?”
“I’d kick Hunk if I didn’t think the gremlin would eat my foot.”
I am realllyyyy impatient for Dominic's book! This man would be the dead of me! Every single phrase by him got me giggling like a school girl!
“Screw me if I’m wrong, but haven’t we met before?”
“Knock it off, Dominic,” Jaime complained before giving Ivy an apologetic look. “You’ll have to excuse him. He has a habit of dishing out cheesy lines. It might be some kind of disorder – we’re looking into it.”
And of course, my main alpha and his witty mate - Trey & Tarryn- heavy apperance in this book made my heart brust from happinnesss! I missed these two crazy heads!
“Come on, let’s get you back to bed. We’ll play Hiding Pedro. That should calm you down.”
“Why do you always try to use sex to calm me?”
“Because it works, my crazy little nympho.”
“Ass.”

4.5 Wicked Stars
“Sometimes people need to have something moved from their reach before they realize how much they want it.”
Wicked Cravings is the second book of The Phoenix Pack. The ingenious twist of paranormal, sexy steam, witty writing, and amazing characters is what makes this series a gem! I enjoyed this book just as much, if not more, then the first book.
Dante is the Beta of the pack. He takes his job very seriously and lives every moment to train his enforcers in order to protect the pack. Dante has decided that he will not have a mate. He doesn't need a relationship to distract him from his job. He doesn't want a woman to meddle with his ability to work.
"It wasn’t that he didn’t feel the absence of that bond in his life. He did, and so did his wolf. But it wasn’t as simple as that. When his mate came along, she would rightfully want all of him, she would demand to be at the center of his life, and she would expect his loyalty to be with her, first and foremost. For a Beta, that could be a problem."-Dante
Additionally, Dante suffered a heartbreak that he has never been able to recover from. Although Dante works hard to make his feelings on having a life mate clear, the fates have another plan in mind for Dante.
Jaime is a wolf in the pack. She recently transferred to the Phoenix Pack. She grew up with Dante and always had a serious crush on him. Jaime is living with a secret. Although she has been living her life as a submissive wolf, she is in fact a dominant wolf. Her wolf is unstable. Because of a traumatic experience, in which Jaime witnessed as a young child, she hasn't been able to let her wolf be free. She fears that if she does, she will loose herself forever.
"She had formed a cage around her wolf. A cage that separated them so completely that Jaime’s emotions could no longer feed her wolf. A cage so impenetrable that it prevented her wolf from surfacing. Yeah that was unnatural, and yeah it meant she didn’t feel whole, but it was the only way to ensure that her wolf was constantly in the backseat."
When Jaime has an altercation with another shifter, her wolf begins to try to break free. Now that she has revealed her secret, Dante has a need to protect her and help heal her.
Finally, after years of pursuing Dante, he is paying attention to her. The sexual tension is so tight between the two you can almost hear a rubber band stretching to the limit. You know it is only a matter of time before everything will snap.
“You won’t be jumping into some guy’s bed, Jaime. You’ll be in mine. Oh yeah, deny it if you want, but we both know it’s going to happen. I’m getting inside that pussy. You’re going to take every inch of me, and you’re going to love it.”-Dante
Dante and Jaime begin to grow closer together. Now that her secret is out, some of the pack is hesitant to keep her around. Dante is determined to keep an eye on her and help her learn to control her wolf. Dante begins to understand what it would feel like to have someone distort him from his duties with the pack.
"He wasn’t sure if he could let anyone else hurt her either, which meant that for the first time, his loyalty was divided. No, that wasn’t good."-Dante
Naturally, the two fall in lust fast and hard! Jaime and Dante have a dynamic relationship. Jaime isn't afraid to fight Dante. She is terrified that she can never truly be with someone as her wolf may lash out and overtake her.
“You’re mine now, Jaime.” He let his hand creep up and knead her breast. “Not just for one night . When I say you’re mine, I mean you’re mine. But see , here’s the thing. Now you have to deal with me, and I’m not easy to deal with.”-Dante
The journey isn't easy for these two but the ride is sexy and sweet! Dante needs to grow emotionally while Jaime needs to gain the physical strength to ward off her wayward wolf.
Overall, Wicked Cravings was a fantastic read. I absolutely adored Dante and Jaime. Individually they are unique and together they are magnificent. The writing is so natural and it offers a quick wit. The way the Ms. Wright continues to interweave the characters of the pack offers the reader the ability to sink in and join the pack! It feels so natural to read about being claimed, mated, claiming ceremonies, biting, fighting, shifting, and everything pack related. When an author invites you into their world and you don't want to leave, you know you have found a series that is worth the investment. Bravo Ms. Wright! Bravo!
“Sometimes people need to have something moved from their reach before they realize how much they want it.”

Finally, after years of pursuing Dante, he is paying attention to her. The sexual tension is so tight between the two you can almost hear a rubber band stretching to the limit. You know it is only a matter of time before everything will snap.
“You won’t be jumping into some guy’s bed, Jaime. You’ll be in mine. Oh yeah, deny it if you want, but we both know it’s going to happen. I’m getting inside that pussy. You’re going to take every inch of me, and you’re going to love it.”-Dante
Dante and Jaime begin to grow closer together. Now that her secret is out, some of the pack is hesitant to keep her around. Dante is determined to keep an eye on her and help her learn to control her wolf. Dante begins to understand what it would feel like to have someone distort him from his duties with the pack.
"He wasn’t sure if he could let anyone else hurt her either, which meant that for the first time, his loyalty was divided. No, that wasn’t good."-Dante
Naturally, the two fall in lust fast and hard! Jaime and Dante have a dynamic relationship. Jaime isn't afraid to fight Dante. She is terrified that she can never truly be with someone as her wolf may lash out and overtake her.
“You’re mine now, Jaime.” He let his hand creep up and knead her breast. “Not just for one night . When I say you’re mine, I mean you’re mine. But see , here’s the thing. Now you have to deal with me, and I’m not easy to deal with.”-Dante
The journey isn't easy for these two but the ride is sexy and sweet! Dante needs to grow emotionally while Jaime needs to gain the physical strength to ward off her wayward wolf.
Overall, Wicked Cravings was a fantastic read. I absolutely adored Dante and Jaime. Individually they are unique and together they are magnificent. The writing is so natural and it offers a quick wit. The way the Ms. Wright continues to interweave the characters of the pack offers the reader the ability to sink in and join the pack! It feels so natural to read about being claimed, mated, claiming ceremonies, biting, fighting, shifting, and everything pack related. When an author invites you into their world and you don't want to leave, you know you have found a series that is worth the investment. Bravo Ms. Wright! Bravo!

Overall Opinion: I was in a little bit of a funk with my books lately where I knew I needed to step outside my box and read something different, and this fit the bill. I'm not a huge fan of pnr, but when I do get in these funks it is a good genre to go to. I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the characters and their relationship. I did, however, have some big issues with the book feeling slow at times and getting bored. It was good for what it was, but not going on my favorites shelf and probably won't be all that memorable in the long-run tbh. I know lots of people loved this book, so it very well could be some lingering effects of my book-funk :/
Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Jamie and Dante's story. Jamie is done putting herself out there with her unrequited crush that she has had on Dante for years, and Dante feels the loss when he realizes that she is no longer trying to get his attention. After some dancing around one another they realize that the both are looking for the same thing, and they start a causal relationship. After spending more and more time together, their lines get blurred and they fall in love. There is some ex and pack drama, as well as some personal struggles that they have to work through...but they do get a HFN ending.
POV: This alternated between focusing on Jamie and Dante in 3rd person narrative.
Overall Pace of Story: Not the best. This felt slow and long at times. I never skimmed, but I did become distracted and bored to where I was tempted to.
Instalove: No, they take a while to develop stronger feelings.
H rating: 3.5 stars. Dante. He acted like an idiot at times, but he always admitted he was wrong and tried to make up for it.
h rating: 4 stars. Jamie. I liked her. She was tough, sassy, and loyal.
Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed.
Push/Pull: Yes
Heat level: Moderate. The have some decent scenes and chemistry. Anal play and light bondage.
Descriptive sex: Yes
OW/OM drama: Yes
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No
Separation:Not really. Once they're together, they are together.
Possible Triggers: Yes
Closure: This had ok closure. I would've liked a glimpse farther into their future, but that's just me. I would call it a HFN ending, because I feel like we will be seeing these two in the rest of the books in the series.
How I got it: It was part of my kindle unlimited subscription.
Safety: This one should be Safe for most readers.

Wicked Cravings is Dante and Jaime's story. I don't think I liked this one as well as Feral Sins but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was a little slow in parts...and I wish these books weren't so darn long.
Dante is the Beta of the pack. He and Jaime were in the same pack as kids before Dante eventually left for the Phoenix Pack, where Jaime later joined.
Jaime has always crushed on Dante and Dante has crushed on Jaime but Dante doesn't do relationships or date within his Pack. Especially after starting the imprinting process with another woman, only to have her leave him for her true mate, Dante's brother.
Jaime thinks she is broken. After an attack on her family, she has to keep her wolf caged inside. Her wolf is always in protect and attack mode after that happened. Therefore, Jaime believes herself to be a danger to others.
Dante discovers what Jaime is hiding and decides to help her and watch over. He believes that training her will give her the strength she needs to fight her wolf internally. They eventually discover that they are true mates.
I love that there isn't a lot of unnecessary drama any these books. The drama usually involves outside threats from other Packs.
We got to see more from the rest of the Pack, which is fun. Dominic is one of my favorite characters so I am hoping he gets a book. I didn't find the banter quite as funny in this one. It had the hot sex that Suzanne Wright is known for....and it was an enjoyable addition to the series. I'm looking forward to reading Sheya and Nick's story.

As with Feral Sins I'm very late to this party so again I'll keep it short.
This is a very similar book to the previous one including true mates who don't know they're true mates. One of the things I've always liked about shifter books is the way they instantly recognise their mates but that's not the case here, even sex doesn't clue them in which makes the whole mating game a bit of a lottery.
Jaime is very much like Taryn, strong, loyal and sarcastic which means she's a good female lead but she's not as good as Taryn.
Dante is the hardworking Beta who puts the pack before himself.
I don't think it helped that I moved straight from one book to the other since they are so similar I would have preferred Nick and Shaya's story first I think to separate these books.
I know I'm being picky but...
Despite that I enjoyed this book and it's straight onto the next one for me now.

sooooooooooooooo...
i expected more... much more!
i felt like i read the same thing in first book!
he is kinda the same as Trey, and she is kinda the same as Taryn... nothing new.. seen it all :(
the first book blew my mind so i kinda expected this one too but ended up having a softer copy of first one with different names :(
what i did love were the parts when Taryn and Trey showed up, they cracked me up haha and i must admit that they are the only reason i am giving this 3 stars :(
i don't feel like writing longer review because i would ended up pretty much copy pasting the review for the first one only without the orgy scene.
ahhh about that.... seriously? i get what the author is trying but really even though you can smell her arousal Dante if she doesn't want to then she doesn't want to!!! end of story!!!!! but yes i can imagine that making her wet, even though she is crying and pleading to untie her, you still need to show her that she does want you and make her beg you to f*ck her...
sorry but not my cuppa anymore....

I am really enjoying this series.
Now tbf, it did seem a bit TOO similar to book one. Feisty sarcastic strong heroine with a problem with her wolf. Super Alpha hero with hidden depths and trauma. Not actually recognising your true mate. Sarcastic and tetchy relationship between heroine and Greta....
BUT, I am still really loving it. It is a funny engaging series that is hugely enjoyable.
The situation toward the end had me worried and wondering how it would be fixed, and I almost shed a tear myself along with Dante, but ofc it all comes good.

Hmmm
I liked this one probably as much as the first. Although it has some similar issues as the first and I probably did not love the hero and heroine quite as much as Taryn and Trey. But I still liked them a lot.
Dante was very dominate and a dick at times. Hot but sweet. Almost needy. But I HATED it every time he said "that's a good girl" Why you wonder? Well if you have a female dog you have said that phrase a million times. And for me, it just reminded me of it so much I hated it.
Jamie was really good for Dante. She was funny, accepting and yet very damaged. I felt terrible for her.
The plot moved along. It seemed like it did not get bogged down quite as much as the first. The claiming? SUPER HOT!
Jamie's issues were so sad. The events at the end? Heartbreaking. Dante? Perfect....
I am officially addicted to this series!
Again with the OW ex drama. I wish this series would take a break from it!

This was the most fun I've had reading a book in a while. Review to follow.

Dante, Dante, Dante...I could not wait to read his book. He is the Beta of the Phoenix Pack and one calm, cool cucumber. That is, until Jaime comes over to his pack. They grew up together in his old pack and Jaime has always had a crush on him but she's decided she's done with that and boy, does that get Dante's attention!
~sigh~ I really, really wanted to love this book but I just didn't. I really felt like I was doing a reread of Feral Sins with the names changed...and well, a few other things. But it's basically the same ol' story. Alpha male doesn't really want a relationship (or won't admit it) and Alpha female doesn't either (although she really does), they fight it and keep secrets from each other. Then some big drama happens and it makes them realize how much they really like each other and they have hot, steamy sex. Said sex leads to even more feelings coming out and more DOMINANCE. The females wolves are damage but of course love heals everything!! And they live happily ever after! It probably would've been better for me to wait longer between reading the two books.
These wolves like to dominate like no other. There is nothing sacred. Spankins and back door luvins are a given. Neck holds? Check. Pin the female down? Check. Tie the female up? Of course. Oh, and I can't forget the biting...lots and lots of biting! Don't get me wrong...it is definitely some hot sex but it may not be for everyone. Wait!! Who am I kidding??!! That's why we're reading this book right? ;)
On a side note, I couldn't believe that there was a reference to the first edition of Feral Sins but I'm sure if you didn't read it, you might not catch it. I finally had a chance to read the edited version and I like it better, I was glad there was none of that in this book.
I didn't end up liking Dante as much as I thought I would. There's a part where they go to a birthday party and Dante runs into his ex. I was not a happy camper about the way he treated Jaime and she wasn't either. Thankfully, he does wise up but I'm really torn if I like the 'before' Dante or the 'after'!
I did enjoy Jaime. She is a lot like Taryn but way less sarcastic. What happened to her was really sad and I really felt for her wolf but...it wasn't difficult to figure out what would happen.
As much as I think the story is sort of the same, I do really enjoy the couples together. I think Dante and Jaime were much more emotional and their connection was more intense. They both needed the other to open up and enjoy their lives. It made the whole true mate idea more acceptable.
It was way too easy to figure out the bad guys too and I really wanted to smack some foreheads! But I felt really bad for Leif. I hope things work out for him.
All the members of the Phoenix Pack are involved and I really liked getting to know them better. I really like Gabe and I think him and Holly make a great pair. It will be interesting to see what becomes of them. I think my new favorite is Dominic...I certainly liked him more in this book but we'll see. Maybe if he calms down on the one liners! I'm looking forward to seeing who his mate is! I also can't wait to find out more about Shaya and Nick. I hope the time between books will help change up the story.

Ok first off I'm no Paranormal fan but this is my 2nd paranormal book and I LOVED IT! The first book was good but it was weird. I'm not used to wolf / shapeshifters. But this book was def easier to read. I think I'm starting to like paranormal books :)
I loved Dante (I want my own...)
This is my Dante: (Doesn't he just look like a big bad wolf)
I loved that Trey, Tarren and Gretha and all the other pack members was also in the books. I think the next book will def be about Shanya and Nick.... and I really look forward to reading a third book if there are going to be one!
I just love this author she is awesome.
Some of my favourite lines / quotes :
BOB? "Battery-Operated Boyfriend
"Don't get light in her eyes, don't get her wet, and never feed her after midnight."
"You've always though with your dick. In that case, do you wanna blow my mind?"
"He fucking bit me"
"I'm being Punk'd, aren't I? 'Fucked' is what you'll you be getting, but that's for later.
Hope everybody enjoys this book just as much as I have!
Over and out. xxx

Ok, I cannot WAIT to start this book! I don't do Paranormal.. I just don't like it but THIS author and after I read Feral Sins. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED to read this book ASAP

"Know this, too if you ever get an idea like that again, I'll know, baby, and I'll spank your ass so damn hard there'll be a permanent handprint right there." She gave him a cheeky smile. "As long as you understand there'll be a matching one on your face."
ZANTE
Jaime has been besotted with Dante since she was a child, for years she's wanted to be with him, followed him, wherever he went she followed. Jaime was separated from Dante when Trey made his own pack when he was 14 but Jaime has recently joined Trey's wolf pack after the Alpha of her previous pack challenged Trey and lost.
Jaime has decided since she's getting nowhere with Dante she decides to step back, no more sitting next to him at dinner, no more flirting. Dante does not like this get's annoyed and makes his move.
Dante is possessive, jealous, protective and an Dominant wolf
JAIME
Jaime lost her parents when she a few years back, Jaime got involved in that accident and therefore her wolf has been traumatised and Jaime has to work hard to make sure her wolf is controlled.
When her secret gets out this is how Dante protects Jaime and Jaime fights for her place in the pack...
This is another Alpha male and Dominant female fighting to not be together but are, its HOT I absolutely love these stories man I love these Alpha men, I loved the pack, the women and I can't wait for the next instalment but seriously 2014????? WHY!!!!!! so damn long to wait.....
He pinned her with a look. "You won't be jumping into some guys bed, Jaime. You'll be in mine. Oh yeah deny it if you want, but we both know it's going to happen. I'm getting inside that pussy. You're going to take every inch of me, and you're going to love it."
"You're mine, Jaime. And you won't let anyone else near my pussy, will you baby?"
Dante wanted to own Jaime, her body mind and he wanted to brand her he wanted to bond with her and he eventually wanted to mate with her. But above all he was in love with her.
There are similarities between this one and feral sins but there was also a differences as well, if you enjoy an Alpha Male protection what's his, loving what's his and enjoying some pretty HOT scenes then go and read you won't be disappointed!!!
