Summary:

Rex Kane has always known he was different than his brothers, down to the fact that when he shifts into his wolf form, his coat is completely black. Always in trouble, he is given one more chance by his brother Tristan, the alpha of the Westervelt pack, to bring back to their island a witch who can stop some of the magical assault that has plagued their war-torn home. Rex knows he has one last chance to set things right. Everything depends on him and he cannot fail.

Elizabeth Willow has been cursed to look so repulsive no human eyes can bear to view her. Raised in a gentle coven of witches, she is ill prepared for the realities of the harsh world she now lives in.

Raised to mistrust wolf-shifters as witch-killers, she cannot seem to help being drawn to Rex. Even if she doesn’t believe she is his so-called mate. He can see her as she really is and is the first person to look her in the eyes in years. Although she is not naturally devious, she sees no choice but to use Rex to gain her own freedom and her family’s safety.

Together, Rex and Elizabeth will see just how evil the people around them can be. If they can trust their hearts, perhaps they will survive another night. If not, both of their battles will never be won.

Blackraven’s Review:

First, I love the Westervelt series by Rebecca Royce. I can’t seem to get enough of these sexy men who are fighting for their lives, their pack, and the women they love. I’m always ready for the next book in the series just as soon as I finish reading the last one and trust me when I say that Ms. Royce did not disappoint with her latest installment in the Westervelt series.

There is something about Rex and Elizabeth that make me just want to give them a big hug and tell them everything is alright. Although Rex is a wolf shifter, confident most of the time, and has a tremendous mind that understands exactly what he’s up against, you can’t help but want to give him a hug as Ms. Royce allows the reader and Elizabeth to see beyond the surface into the depths of Rex’s soul, which is anything but Dark. This man has been through a lot being the youngest member of the Westervelt clan, well, next to Angel. His protectiveness over Elizabeth is honorable and the chemistry between these two is combustible.

Elizabeth is kind, sweet, and stronger than some might think, specially when we meet her in Angel’s story. This woman has a backbone and has been put through a tremendous amount of pain and anguish at the hands of what I still consider “evil” witches. Yet, she has swallowed her pride and is doing what she needs to do in order to save her family. But will saving her family mean that she has to betray her mate and the man that she is quickly growing feelings for in such a short period of time. The most important question is whether or not a Wolf and a Witch can find a Happily Ever After when danger lurks in every corner and it’s difficult to determine who is your enemy and who is your ally in this fast-paced, action-packed saga that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering who will ultimately be the victor as more of the puzzle pieces come together?

Ms. Royce has crafted an engaging story with lovable, yet vulnerable characters who have flaws that make them more realistic. The intense chemistry between these two is like a volcano waiting to explode and the banter will have you smiling as they frustrate each other while learning to communicate with one another. The danger is imminent throughout the Darkest Wolf which gives it a dark edge that is enticing and will keep you engrossed until the very end. The secondary characters only increase the depth of the plot as the mystery of the Westervelt pack continues to unfold. I always love catching up with the other characters to see what has transpired since we last visited. There were a few minor editing errors, but nothing that disrupted the flow of the story.

If you’re looking for a well-written, fast-paced, action-packed story, with captivating characters, a compelling story line, and a sensual love story that will have you swooning and begging for more with the turn of every page, then the Darkest Wolf by Rebecca Royce is definitely the book to read. I can’t wait for the next book in the Westervelt series. Trust me when I say that this is one series you don’t want to miss, so pick it up now.
