Storm Wolf is the third book in the Arctic Brotherhood series, and this one features my favourite of the bunch - Dan Lowell. He is the environmental geek, the one who everyone goes to when they want some historical knowledge. In short, he's HOT!!! He finds out that Odessa Santin is poisoning the Arctic Circle, and she just happens to be the daughter of their old enemy. He goes to confront her, but things don't go according to plan ;) Instead, he finds out that both the Arctic Brotherhood and Odessa are being played, but they not sure by who. Luckily, both Odessa and Lowell have alibis in each other even though there is video proof otherwise. Lowell calls together the Brotherhood, determined to figure out what's going on. With the return of an old enemy, the Brotherhood will have to work to defeat him this time.
This instalment is just as well written as the previous books, and you do get to see old favourites too. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, and I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction between the male Brotherhood, and Jenny, Violetta, and Odessa. Keeping my fingers crossed that Lowell doesn't disappear from the Brotherhood now. Definitely recommended by me.

Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Storm Wolf is the third installment in Jane Godman’s Arctic Brotherhood series. Me I think these books can be read as a stand-alone. However, I do want to read the others to find out more about the Siberian.
This book started off with a quickie. I mean literally a quickie. No wasting time for this author. After the quickie was over, the readers are in for a big mystery. If the Arctic’s arch enemy is dead who is out to destroy the Arctic wolves now.
Dan Lowell thought he knew, until his one physical encounter with Odessa Santin. But he soon discovers that Odessa is being set up. The closer they get to find the person or persons.
Storm Wolf was full of romance and adventure. However, questions are left answered. Which is very frustrating, to say the least; Nonetheless, Storm Wolf was a good book.
Will recommend this story to any readers who love intrigue with hot alpha wolves thrown in.
All I have to say is that I love this series, can't wait till I can go and get all of the books in this series to add to my library, once again thinks NetGalley for giving me a chance at finding a series I love and want to read over and over
Storm Wolf is the third book in the Arctic Brotherhood series by author Jane Goodman. I would suggest reading these books in order. They do follow up on previous characters. I really loved the characters in this book. Very connected and really super well done.
Odessa is the leader of the Siberians. She has sex with a stranger, that was not planned but she leaves after hoping to put it all behind her.
She is a creative person, strong, and very smart. You would not want to be on the wrong end of a fight with her. She also makes a loyal friend who would do anything for you.
Lowell is Alpha at heart. He has a very strong need to protect Odessa even if she doesn’t want him too. He does know when to back up some and give her room too that really made me like him. He trusted her to know herself.
Over all they are an unstoppable team when they are together. Hot steamy chemistry and great writing kept me turning the pages to this book. I cannot wait to see where this story goes next and who falls in love.
Five Shooting Stars
Hot Alpha man, yummy lucky Odessa. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone, Lowell is trying to track down the source of pollution and is lead to Odessa, romance, action and intrigue follow. This was a great addition to the series and well worth a read.
Odessa couldn’t believe she was having sex with a man she didn’t know and the best sex of her life. Also it was the night before the most important business presentation of her life. Odessa and this man were both werewolves. They had been in the darkest part of the garden but still could have gotten caught. But now that it was over neither of them seemed to know what to say. He said this wasn’t something he usually did but it had been great. The man was an Arctic wolf and Odessa was Siberian and their packs were enemies. It was a good thing the sex was a one night thing as the Arctic wolves are the wolves that killed her father Santin. Santin had been the leader of the Siberian wolves and as of twelve months ago Odessa became the Siberian wolves leader. Dan Lowell was the Arctic wolf and he didn’t know who Odessa was just that she was a Siberian wolf. Dan didn’t do crazy and what had happened was crazy. Dan was the sensible one, the intellectual wolf of the elite Arctic Werewolves Of The Midnight Sun. Dan was the one to be counted on to do the right thing, and urge caution. Having sex with a Siberian stranger was not the right thing to do. Dan’s passion was the protection of the Arctic environment and Odessa was following in her father’s footsteps and seemed to be determined on messing up the fragile ecosystem. Dan had tried to contact Odessa with no success so he followed her to Florida. Serene was Odessa’s assistant and has seen Odessa kiss Dan and then grab her underwear. Five years Odessa had worked for people to to accept her in the online gaming field. At last Serpent's Eye was ready and the first in the nine clan series. An online fantasy game with a linked board game in which the microchip physical pieces moved in time with the onscreen action. Santin Creation was Odessa’s baby, her creation. It had taken everything Odessa had for people to see passed her youth and inexperience to give her a chance. Odessa did things to Dan that made every second with her a battle of self control both his temper and his ability to keep his hands off her and it didn’t matter who she was. Dan was the director of the Institute For Research In The Arctic Environment and the world’s leader on the Arctic ecosystem.
I loved this story { as i have the others in this series} and i loved the plot and pace of this book. I loved how love overcame everything. I loved Dan and Odessa together. I loved how the brothership of the midnight sun were still together and strong and close no matter how long in between seeing each other. I loved the showing of the Goddess and she being both Odessa grandmother and great grandmother. I just loved this whole story and as I said have loved this whole series I can’t wait to get to the next one and it is already downloaded. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I highly recommend.
WOW! Two books from a paranormal series I’m already enjoying, both being published together - so there’s no need to wait to read the next phenomenal instalment - brilliant news for book addicts like me! I usually review books individually, but as both are released on the same date and I read them straight after each other, I decided to do a joint review for them . . . .
I had previously read the first two books in this series - Ice Wolf and Shadow Wolf - and found them both to be great reads and ones where I was looking forward to seeing how the series progressed so I had no hesitation when I realised these were available - I couldn’t wait to read them! I wasn't disappointed. In my opinion this series just keeps getting better! They contain many of the same characters and the series is chronologically sequential, so IMHO it really does help if you read them in the correct order. The Brotherhood of the Midnight Sun are a group of god-appointed Arctic wolf shifters who have a role as protectors. They may not see each other for decades (or even longer) but when they come back together they just gel and are a real force for good to be reckoned with.Don't expect these strong alpha males to be the only strong characters. There are also some really feisty, powerful females around, too, who also have major roles in helping combat evil and saving the day as well as providing severe distractions for the men in their lives.
Now, I’m trying to review without giving any spoilers away, so I won’t discuss the stories in detail - I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn’t read the earlier books! In both these stories there are great characters and dramatic events which are brought to life by the author’s skilled use of words to create moving images of events in the imagination of her readers. There are enemies to overcome, hearts to be won and an enemy to thwart. Just how everything unfolds make these enthralling reads, real page turners with a great mix of mystery, suspense and romance creating great additions to this fast paced adventure taking place in a wide variety of settings. As the series progresses, the reader learns more about the perpetrators working behind the scenes and their possible motivations. These are both great reads which I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys suspense along with their paranormal romance reading - this series is a great example of this combination of genre and one I have enjoyed reading!
I requested and was given a copy of both these books via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read them.
Oh, how the plot thickens. I’m really enjoying this series. It just seems to pull me in more and more with each Brotherhood story.
Odessa is the leader of the Siberian werewolves. Well, at least now that her father was killed by the Brotherhood a year ago (read the first book). She’s a hard worker and has been throwing everything she’s got in to her gaming project. While presenting her new game, she’s blindsided by a confrontation. Not just any confrontation. A sexual one that later comes back to bite her. To say that she’s shocked by this man is an understatement. Especially when he reveals that she’s being set up. But for what is the question.
Dan Lowell is one of the members of the Brotherhood. He’s the one that everyone goes to for information. Information on the environment and werewolves. He’s also the man who’s knocked Odessa off her rocker. Not only behind building at the conference, but with information regarding her set up. But it looks like she’s not the only one being set up. Apparently someone is out to destroy not only Odessa, but the entire Brotherhood.
Is there instant chemistry between these two? Of course. You would think there would be with all that animalistic lust going on. But this story isn’t just about the chemistry. This story is actually pulling me in deeper with each book. The villain(s) are becoming more interesting and twisted. The Brotherhood bond is still amazing and the fight scenes are even entertaining. I’m so happy that I don’t have to wait long to read the next installment, because the way things ended……WOWZA!!!

Storm Wolf - A Shifter Romance by Jane Godman is book three in the Arctic Brotherhood, moving the encompassing theme right along with an “enemies to lovers” romance. Instant lust between Odessa Santin and Dan Lowell changes this story up since they don’t actually know that they are enemies when they first meet. It is not long before identities are revealed which makes for an exciting story.
The story is a roller coaster ride of passion, danger, mystery, suspense, environmental espionage and the unknown villains who are framing Odessa. Arctic Wolves and Siberians Wolves may have found common ground as Odessa and Dan work to see who is wanting Odessa to take the blame, then stop them.. However, like the previous two books, this one is hot so the romance sometimes supersedes the danger and the conflict.
While Odessa and Dan’s romance is complete there are more unanswered questions by the end of the story concerning the overarching conflict. Often this happens in paranormal series but I hope it will be resolved in the next book or so.
This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.
What a combination of genres – this book has the paranormal (shifters), mystery, romance, and a little mythology added in. The story is a little like Romeo and Juliet but with a HEA instead of tragic ending. Odessa is a Siberian wolf and Lowell is an Arctic wolf, and Odessa and Lowell were born to hate the other’s wolves, so someone is trying to get them to go to war.
There is an immediate attraction between Lowell and Odessa even though they knew that there should be no relationship because of their heritage. When someone keeps impersonating them and making it look like they are committing crimes against the other, instead of going to war, they combine forces to figure out who is doing this.
There is non-stop action with their traveling around the globe trying to track the bad guys with super sexy romance, and there is just so much emotion going on in this story! Odessa learns more about how terrible her father and grandfather really were, she meets her grandmother for the very first time and finds out that she really isn’t the evil person she was taught to believe, and in the end reconciles her differences with her mother.
There are a few twists in the story and secrets are revealed so this story keeps you guessing all the way to the end! I have not read the previous books in this series but after reading about Odessa and Lowell and the Brotherhood, I want to read all of them!
Storm Wolf is a gripping, action filled, sexy shifter romance that any lover of Paranormal Romance should be interested in. Part of the Arctic Brotherhood series this story will pull you into the rest of the series quite easily.
Odessa and Dan are strangers when they first meet, and that first meeting is sexy explosive. How can two people with such a strong sexual attraction and a feeling of something more between them actually be sworn enemies of their two packs. It’s unthinkable, yet obviously very possible. Dan has come to this conference with the intention of calling out the Siberian leader for their poisoning of the environment… yet, Odessa had nothing to do with the accusations despite video proof to the contrary. Dan has to do some rethinking very quickly and get to the bottom of who the actual enemy is and why they’d set Odessa up to take the fall.
If you enjoy mystery, sexy times, an intense main couple and are completely hooked on shifter romance then Storm Wolf is a story you should be reading. I’d like to say that you can read this third story in the series as a stand alone — but there is background that you’ll miss if you didn’t start at the beginning. That wouldn’t take away from the enjoyment of this story, but may prompt you to go back and check out the earlier stories as well. I personally believe they are best when read in order, but that’s my opinion.
Dan and Odessa have a battle on their hands – on so many fronts. They are a compelling couple, one that I completely fell for. You’ll be doing some mystery solving to get the full information about who is actually their common enemy here, yet you will enjoy every moment of that search for the truth. I enjoyed my time in this world, and I believe any Paranormal Romance reader would enjoy this one as well.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
Storm Wolf was a well-rounded romance with a solid unique plot. Thank you!
Odessa and Dan’s story was intriguing, solid and uber sexy, making this a wonderful edition to this already powerful series.
I was a little miffed by the continued unanswered questions that have loomed in the background since the very beginning. I only hope the author resolves these matters, sooner rather than later, as it’s becoming frustrating. Overall but; a great story.
Storm Wolf by Jane Godman is the 3rd book in her Arctic Brotherhood series. This is a fun fantasy that is a fast and exciting read. Just a refresher: Arctic Brotherhood is a shifter series, with a new ancient species of Arctic werewolves, who are part of the 7 members of the Brotherhood of the Midnight Sun.
In Storm Wolf, Odessa Santin is our heroine; she is a Siberian Werewolf, who are enemies of the Arctic wolves. Odessa is the leader of her Siberian werewolf pack, since the death of her father, who was killed by the Arctic wolves. Odessa runs a successful gaming business, and leaves the running of the pack to one of her leaders. On the night of conference for her new game, Odessa meets a stranger and much to her dismay, she ends up having sex.
Dan Lowell, our hero, is one of the Arctic Brotherhood, whom we met in previous books. Dan is a scholar who specializes in werewolf history. Dan had attended the conference, since he was desperate to talk to Odessa Santin about the poisoning of the environment that her pack is doing. To Dan’s surprise when he meets Odessa, he realizes she is the woman who he had wild sex the night before. Odessa is also shocked, but maintains her composure, as she is extremely cold to the man who is part of the pack that killed her father. When Dan shows her a video showing her and her team dumping the poison; she is appalled, claiming she did not do this. In a short period, Dan and Odessa will join together to find out who is framing both of their packs and what is the magic being used to superimpose their images.
What follows is an exciting adventure that will bring both Dan and Odessa even closer together. Godman does tend to do a lot of hot sexy scenes, but at least the story still remains in the forefront. When Odessa finds her pack all but destroyed, she knows there is someone very powerful trying to start a war between the Arctic and Siberian wolves. The members of the Arctic Brotherhood we have come to love join with them to try to stop this war. In the previous book, Chastel was killed, but the magic being used proves that he is still alive.
This is an exciting adventure using Norse mythology, with nonstop action, edge of your seat suspense, and a sizzling couple. There are also, gods, goddesses, shifters, magic in this fantasy world that Godman has given us. I look forward to the next book
I received a free copy from NetGalley; this is my honest review.
This is a Steamy Wolf Shifters Fantasy Romantic Suspense.
Steamy: The book starts with a quickie and it goes uphill from there. Intense sex scenes. Lowell is a great lover and Odessa gives him all she has. Thankfully, it’s a bit toned-down from the last book.
Fantasy: Gods, Goddess, magic, save the shifters’ world from WWIII kind of story.
Rom Suspense: By the end of the first chapter you know all is not well in Odessa’s life and it goes downhill from there. The author does not shy away from action; there is some lull but it’s pretty much a string of danger, suspense, mystery, pain and fear. You do get the odd funny dialogue, which relieves your tensed muscles.
This story has its own HFN but we are left (again) with unanswered questions hence the one-star off.
I hope the author doesn’t intend to pull us on the same subject for five books (or more); it’s going to get old.
