Another romantic suspense novel with wolf shifters, this book is part of a delicious and diverse series, although it can be read as a stand-alone. I like that in each of the books I've read by this author, all include some sleuthing adventures and are set in wild and remote locations. The characters are contemporary and likeable, straightforward and fun. I look forward to the next one. A good choice for a quick and easy read. For contemporary romance and wolf shifter mystery fans.

Net Galley Feedback

FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF is the second of author Terry Spear's White Wolf series, and though I normally love everything about her characters and storylines, I did have a little trouble getting into this book. Once I got to the part where the camping trip was going on and into the spying and intrigue, I was able to get into it better. I liked Gavin's personality, as a fairly newly turned shifter, he was open and as an investigator very quick-witted and on top of the job. I felt the same for Amelia, she had her strength and as a royal -- those are shifters who are not forced to shift by the moon, she was able to help him with his forced shifts. They are a good couple, with their wolves accepting that they were mates, and able to back each other in a number of situations. As with all of Ms. Spear's storylines there were a lot of twists and turns that led to a very interesting ending that readers would never see coming.

If I were putting stars to FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF, I would have to give it 3-1/2 just for Ms. Spear's fantastic way of writing action, description of the Minnesota Boundary Waters area and some good steamy moments, but I just wasn't able to lose myself in this book as I had hoped.

I had the pleasure of reading Flight of the White Wolf prior to release. I was extremely pleased with the newest addition to the series. The plot was well developed and thought out. The characters were able to hold their own without being overshadowed by the storyline or dramatic plot twist.

Once again the story ties into the previous books but allows you to read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading Flight of the White Wolf in order for maximum enjoyment.

You are introduced to Gavin Summerfield is an ex-cop and current Private Investigator. His first run in with Amelia was during a heist, yet he doesn't remember much about her. The ordeal left him with a fear of flying and yet he continues to board planes. Their paths cross again when he was on the job hunting for a puppy kidnapping in Alaska. This meeting was hard to forget and left little to the imagination...

Amelia White is a skilled pilot and a royal wolf. She has a hard time when it come to male, no luck finding the good ones. I wear her middle name in trouble because she is a magnet for it! Her family moved to Minnesota to get away from their past but trouble has a habit of finding this she-wolf. Her second meeting isn’t much better but Amelia was able to breath easier when Gavin doesn’t seem to recognize her.

They are fated mates but I was happy to know it wasn’t love at first sight and required effort on both parties to make it work.

The story takes you on a ride that you won’t regret boarding!

Emotionally gripping, action packed, edge of your seat page turning second chance romantic adventure filled with danger, secrets and undeniable passion.

Gavin Summerfield is a hot, sexy, shifter with a fear of flying and a need to fly into the vast lakeland wilderness of northern Minnesota to track down his suspect. Amelia White is the last shifter he expect to see again, but she turns out to be his pilot on this trip and they are stuck together when their plane is sabotaged. Reluctant acknowledgement of a white hot attraction and a need to catch a dangers criminal make for a highly entertaining, dramatic romantic adventure.

3.5 stars-- FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF is the third instalment in Terry Spear’s contemporary, adult WHITE WOLF paranormal, romance series –a spin off and companion to the author’s Heart of the Wolf series. This is Arctic wolf shifter and private investigator Gavin Summerfield, and Arctic wolf shifter and pilot Amelia White’s story line. FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Gavin and Amelia) FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF follows the building relationship between Arctic wolf shifters- private investigator Gavin Summerfield, and pilot Amelia White. Seven years earlier, then police detective and a very human Gavin Summerfield, came face to face with Amelia White, as part of an on-going investigation into a series of dog-nappings that took our hero to the Alaskan north. Fast forward to present day, wherein Gavin, a six year old Arctic wolf shifter, will be reunited with Amelia White when the plane he hired as part of a private investigation goes down under suspicious circumstances. What ensues is the building and fated romance between Amelia and Gavin as they search for the truth behind the possibility of sabotage against Amelia’s aircraft, and the possible connections to a jewel heist years before.

FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF follows Amelia and Gavin as they begin to dissect and evaluate the ‘who, what and why’ of a possible saboteur against our leading couple. From their previous meetings, to an earlier plane crash years before, Amelia and Gavin slowly and methodically work through the clues as they put together a possible reason for an attack against one or the other- but saying that -there is absolutely no panic, no angst, no fight for their lives as though the a plane crash and possible sabotage are every day occurrences-in this I struggled to get emotionally involved with our leading couple.

The relationship between Amelia and Gavin is slow to develop although Gavin’s inner wolf knows he has found his mate. Having met on two previous occasions, our couple believe fate pulled them together but someone is trying to tear them apart. The $ex scenes are limited and I struggled to feel any emotional depth between our leading couple.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of an employee’s workshop, one of whom Gavin is investigating for a well-to-do client.

FLIGHT OF THE WHITE WOLF is an intriguing story line; a plot driven tale that got lost in the disappointing relationship build up of our leading couple; A strong beginning that floundered through the middle but eventually picked up with the couple’s return to civilization.

This is the third in the White Wolf series, and like twenty-something in the over-arching Heart of the Wolf series. I haven't read any books in this series before, and while I think this can work as a standalone, I think I would have enjoyed it much more had I been familiar with the rest of the series.

While this is a "fated mate"-type romance, thankfully, it isn't insta-love. At the point where the main plot picks up, these characters have met previously, though briefly, several times - including once where a towel-wearing Amelia tasered Gavin. I was initially interested because the idea of a private investigator who's afraid to fly and a secret-keeping pilot, both who are wolf shifters, crashing in the Alaskan wilderness sounded like the perfect recipe for lots of angsty adventure. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver for me. While the plot was interesting, I was never able to emotionally connect with the characters, and didn't feel the chemistry between them. The investigation portion was well done, but I never was particularly worried that the characters were in danger (even after a plane crash! in the wilderness!) or felt like they wouldn't be able to eventually solve the mystery. Even the reveal of Amelia's big secret was.... strangely unemotional.

I also found the writing somewhat stilted. There's just so much background information, and most of it is presented in by telling the reader instead of showing, including information about a myriad of secondary characters. I suspect many of these are characters from previous books in the series, but I was, at times, overwhelmed and confused by the amount of information provided around them (like, do we need to know that one of his partners have six-year-old triplets?)

Unfortunately, there was very little about this book that worked for me. I think if you're a previous fan of the series, you may have a better time with it (though I'd imagine all the info dumping would be even more annoying), but if you're looking to get into this series, I'd suggest starting with an earlier book.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Amelia is a bit nervous when she meets Gavin but he doesn't remember her. She crashed the getaway plane when he was held hostage. So she doesn't offer any information even though she herself was forced to fly the plane.

The intriguing storyline kept me entertained and drew me in. I wanted to find out what happened next. As well as see them fall for each other. The series is kind of new for me I will definitely be reading more.

I've been following this series for a while and this book was definitely a strong addition from Terry Spear.

Gavin and Amelia were great characters. I loved that their romance was slow building because that's what these two needed to get past the mistrust on each side. There was a great twist to their story. Their paths just kept crossing so there was a strong feeling that destiny played a big part in the romance. Amelia was a pilot and Gavin was an ex cop turned Private investigator. They end up stranded in the wild together after a plane crash and at first they were both suspicious of each other. They clearly had some misunderstandings to work through despite being very attracted to each other, as well.

As usual, the author wrote in a good mystery and some adventure. I thought the story was much stronger at the beginning but it did tick up some near the end. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next Heart of the Wolf story.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

This book was non-stop action from start to finish! There are several seemingly unconnected mysteries that bring Gavin and Amelia together.

Initially, Amelia is nervous that Gavin might remember her as the pilot that crashed the get away plan as Gavin was the hostage and did not know Amelia was forced to fly the plane.

There are some twists to the story and revelations that I did not see coming so it was fun to read the book and try to figure out who was behind the crash and why.

The scheme to get the guilty person confess was great and then the police are able to get all the guilty parties. The conclusion with Amelia's family and Gavin's pack was a nice "aw" moment and also solved the problem of where Amelia and Gavin would settle.

Hope there will a few more book coming so the remaining single males find their mates!!

I will not restate the plot nor reveal any spoilers in this review.
Flight of the White Wolf is a complete novel with well-defined sections: a solid beginning, a well-developed middle and an ending that ties together all the integrated pieces of the story. There are no shortcuts in the storyline and it progresses in a logical manner. I loved the H and h and appreciated the effort this author took in developing their relationship. The author writes well and allows the story to develop naturally. This is the first book by Terry Spear that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be looking for other books written by this author.

I enjoyed this book but I didn't love it. The plotting seemed a little haphazard - and maybe a little more romance, a little more paranormal and a little less mystery would have worked better for me.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC provided to me in exchange for my honest review.

2 Stars - 2.5 Flames

To say I was frustrated while reading this would be an understatement. In fact, this was pretty close to becoming a DNF.

I usually breakdown characters, chemistry, and parts of the story, but to be honest, I don't see a point. Mainly because I had a VERY hard time connecting to all of the above. You've got these two mates who don't seem to have any flame behind their chemistry. In fact, I had a hard time relating to any of the characters. And then I couldn't, for the life of me, understand how there was a plane crash, yet survival was the easiest thing in the world. Secrets were discovered, yet, no problem, it's all good.

This just didn't work for me.....sorry.

reviewed by Chris

Although Terry Spear is one of my favorite shapeshifter authors, I just can't give more than three out of five stars for this story. After my deception of Heart of the Wolf, I was hoping that Flight of the White Wolf would be more along the lines of Dreaming of a White Wolf Christmas. Because it continues with the stories of the Arctic wolf pack we already met.

Gavin, one of the single members of the pack has been a cop, before he became a PI. He is currently on a mission to investigate whether a man is cheating on his wife during a company survival camping trip. He needs a pilot to fly him near to the campsite. Unfortunately, the only pilot available to help him out, is Amelia. The same one, who tasered him on a previous assignment.

Amelia is surprised to see Gavin again. And even more surprised to sniff him out as a (fairly) newly turned wolf shifter. Apparently something has changed between the last time Gavin saw her and now. Amelia doesn't have a lot of time to think about their encounter, because their plane suddenly goes down and she has to use all her skills to land the plane.

Crashed and stranded, Gavin en Amelia work together to find the camping site of the company Gavin was following. During their track, they encounter several people, who act suspicious. While they try to find out who wrecked their plane, they also try to find out whether the attack was mend for one of them or for the people who where supposed to be on the plane.

Although the story has the warm and cosy Terry Spear feeling all over, this story fails to keep you warm all the time. The story is a bit too stretched and far fetched. The plot theories are just too far over the top and they distract from the big picture. So, in all, a nice 'who-dunnit' read, if you have enough patience.

Three out of five stars from me and a thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

This one seemed pretty straight forward at first glance. But as things went on you realize that it's not. That 3 separate events brought Gavin and Amelia together, the last one being the one most of this book. I liked how Gavin and Amelia realized their connections, sure it didn't happen all at once, the second encounter remembered first, but it was their first encounter that was more memorable. It was interesting how with the last encounter everything came together. As Gavin and Amelia spent more time in the Boundary Waters they realized potential they were up against. Despite that Gavin and Amelia had some great chemistry, their wolves just as smitten. It was fun to see Gavin and Amelia figure things out and take down the bad guys, all the while mating and building a better pack.

I almost DNF’d this book. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and the story in general.
From the blurb/synopsis I believed this would be paranormal romance with some mystery. What I feel like I got was a mystery with a dash of romance and a sprinkle of the paranormal which in this case is the wolf-shifters.

The first half of the book was directed more to the mystery of who downed the plane and why. This mystery should have been intriguing instead, it felt flat. The characters responses to the crash were unbelievable. There was no stress, no panic-nothing from either character. Just calm, cool, collected. They discuss more on his case then the reality that they are stranded. The fact that they were grounded brought nothing extra to the book. Gavin was so well prepared and they were able to recover almost everything from the crash. They did not go without food, shelter or clothes. Everything was so easy that you could almost mistake them for being on holiday. With this, there was no growth of either character and the only issue to be dealt with was the mystery.

The mates story line between Gavin Summerfield and Amelia White did not feel genuine. There was absolutely no spark, no desire or chemistry for most of the book. There was maybe attraction but nothing overt. With them eventually knowing that they are mates I find they were lacking in passion and desire. When Gavin finds out Amelia’s secret, even that was anticlimactic, swept under the rug, no big deal.

I do not believe that the wolf-shifter aspect to this book was needed. The most we see of the wolves is simply when they shift from one to the other and then back shortly after. There is only slim interaction done in wolf form. I would have enjoyed the story more if this story line would have been explored. In my opinion, the mystery aspect of this novel totally eclipsed the romance and wolf-shifter aspect of this book.

With all that being said, the story did pick just after midway through. The writing seemed to change. The pace picked up and the romance heated up but it was a little too late for me to truly enjoy the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Flight of the White Wolf was exciting, evocative and beautifully written. The author does a wonderful job of my making her characters come to life. You feel as if you're part of the story. I love how this book romance mixed with intrigue and action. The story kept me on the edge of my seat and there were so many laugh out loud moments.

I loved this book I have always been a fan of wolf shifters but there was something even better about the Arctic Wolf Shifters in this book that made it even better. Gavin and Amelia were amazing together and I loved reading about them. It was amusing to read of a wolf shifter who was afraid of flying but it made for a better story. I would love to see where this series goes from here.

A P.I. who is afraid of flying, and the pilot who is the cause for his phobia, are stuck together after a plane crash and hit it off. Problem one, the P.I.,Gavin Summerfield, does not realize that the pilot, Amelia White, is the pilot who crashed the plane several years ago after a robbery. As she tries to hide her secret after their second plane crash together, he deals with Problem two, discovering how the recent crash is involved with his case of a cheating husband. Problem three, two ex-cons that he had help get arrested, show up, one with the group that includes the cheater, and one following the group without their knowledge. Problem four, Amelia's ex shows up stalking them, along with Problem five, one of the robbers that survived that long ago plane crash......Find out how all these problems are part of a larger PROBLEM, as you follow the two wolf shifters in this action packed, romance driven adventure. Also along for their ride is Winsten, the foster dog.

Amelia White is a pilot and a "royal wolf" - no human genetics for generations. She has a patchy past with men. They always seem to lead her into some kind of trouble. She and her family moved to Minnesota to get away from their past but trouble has a habit of finding this she-wolf.

Gavin Summerfield is an ex-cop and current PI. He first met Amelia during a heist, although he doesn't really recall her much. Then he met her when he was on the hunt for a puppy napping ring in Alaska. Let's just say she left an electrifying impression on him LOL.

Now that he and his PI team are all turned humans, Gavin has also moved to Minnesota. When he is asked to take on a case at short notice in the great open spaces of the Border Waters, little does he realise he is about to clash with Amelia once more.

3rd time seem to the be charm with these two! Fate really had it in for them, I mean 7 years is a long time to play about with these two. I loved the way the author wove their back story into the book, this was no case of insta lust! I'm a sucker for animals so all the cute furries had me! Winston in particularly is my kinda dog!

As their past together is slowly revealed I was amazed at how well Gavin took it all, not everyone would be that forgiving let me tell ya'. All the supporting characters had a story of their own, making them integral to the book and not just filler. Great read.

I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Gavin is in Security and he was specifically requested for his latest job. He has been asked to find out if a husband is cheating on his very rich wife. What Gavin discovers could save her money if divorce is in the future.

The husband has gone on a 9 day trip with co-workers in a remote area and the only way Gavin can get there is to fly, which he hates! The last time he was in a plain, it crashed. He makes arrangements with a family run charter company to get to the area and Amelia is his pilot. She is shocked to see Gavin as she met him 7 years ago. Gavin feels as if has met her before but can't place her. They both know the other is a shifter though.

As they are flying, the plane begins to malfunction and shut down. Amelia manages to get it down in the general area they needed to go to, just further away. The problem is....they have no way to contact anyone but Amelia knows her family will come looking for her.

The plane has been sabotaged. Why would anyone do that? A disgruntled ex-worker? The competition?

These two are really attracted to one another, as in mates. Amelia is afraid Gavin will remember where he knows her from and he will jump to conclusions before she can explain.

Who sabotaged the plane? Who was it meant for? Will Gavin and Amelia make it?

This couple had some good chemistry and they work well together. Finding your mate is a magical thing and they know within a few days that the other is the one. When help came, Amelia decides to stay a few extra days and help Gavin. The story took such a huge twist and everything you thought was the answer to the mystery....wasn't!

I like Ms. Spears books and have read many of them. While the story and was great I felt like some things were "over explained". It was definitely worth reading though and if you like shifter books, then you will enjoy this.
