I love a paranormal romance and one even more that has shifters. I loved the interaction between the two main characters as well as the fact there was suspense from start to finish. A romantic suspense novel always keeps you on the edge of your seat, but when you throw stripers into the mix, it’s even more engrossing from start to finish

This was a good shifter romance. I was really interested in the bio, I should have started from book 1... I may go back and start from the beginning. I was a little lost on some things.

A good shifter romance. Especially if you enjoyed others in the series. The central mystery was much more captivating than the actual romance.

I received a copy of this work for my honest review. Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply is a shifter romance with a female alpha Pepper trying to keep control of the pack. I read the book awhile ago and can;t really say what moved me about the book. I will say that there was a lot of words, and most of it didn't;t really move the plot. Two chapters about boy scouts trip that was boring and not needed. I also like my alphas really alpha and Eric wasn't for me. The way marijuana was referred to as reefer and pot was cringe. it's weed!! The book was slow and dragged for me. It was just ok.

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply by Terry Spear is a paranormal shapeshifter romance that showcases the strength of a female lead. Alpha wolf Eric Silver, a Law Enforcement Park Ranger, crosses paths with Forester Pepper Greystock while investigating suspicious criminal activity in the national forest. Their instant interest and attraction are overshadowed by past traumas and present danger. The story unfolds into a slow yet sizzling romance, with a strong female lead that will leave you feeling empowered and inspired.

This book is a thrilling ride from start to finish. The shapeshifter romance, especially with alpha wolves, is a surefire hook. The two alphas and a truly strong female main character had me invested in the story. The fast-paced narrative kept me engaged and excited, making it impossible to put the book down. You can easily finish this short book in a couple of hours or even less, thanks to its gripping pace.

I loved the two main characters. I loved how the author did not feel the need to make the male character strong and leading but instead had the female character make decisions for her pack. Also, I loved that the female MC had the strength and courage to get into fights and come out winning. I loved the maturity in the characters and the effort they put in to discuss or at least allow each other the space to make independent decisions where required.

The romance was a slow burn initially, with some sizzle towards the end, which felt perfect. If I had one problem with the book, the danger surrounding the MCs felt quite contrived. The plotline of the criminal activity and its impact on the MCs felt weak and could have been done away with and replaced with something else if the author wanted to show anguish to bring the MCs together. This fake danger made the book's ending feel rushed, which did not go well with me. However, despite this, I liked the book and am giving it 3 stars out of 5.

Nice story with two characters who do not need a mate. So guess what takes place. Of course there is a bad guy in te mix. That the two have to deal with. Interesting plot and character building.

So, I requested this book because the blurb piqued my interest, but I was unaware that it was a good number into a series (#6 in Silver Town Wolf, #19 in Heart of the Wolf). Anyway, it stated it could be read as a stand-alone, so I started reading. I don't know if I would have felt more interest in the characters lives but it really didn't manage to draw me in.

It was bland and a chore to read. Eric is one of those characters that is one of the background characters that finally get their story told in their own book. If I had read the first book I might have felt more connected to him and his history, but I never got to know him after reading the book: he feels like an acquaintance and not the friend he should be after following him through his book.

I have the same feelings when it comes to Pepper. She's a friend of a friend I know on a surface level. I felt she was more of an unknown quantity as she was a new love interest. I didn't connect with her and the trauma she suffered because she was so blasé about what happened, and she didn't seem affected at all.

The whole alpha/beta thing didn't seem all that pronounced. They are wolves so I feel like there should be some more territorial actions and a powerful personality rather than just a person who is willing to stand by their principles and who isn't.

Thinking back on the book, it feels like most of the book was one big conversation. Not much showing happened, but a lot of talking did happen. And much of it was superficial and unnecessary.

Oh and the sex scenes were as exciting as an appointment with the gynecologist.

What I did like was Eric and Pepper's occupations. It sounds super intriguing, with mountains, wilderness and wild animals. There's nothing like that type of nature in my country so reading about someone having a day job helping people in need in such a place is foreign to me.

Another thing I like is that there was no insta-love/lust, but they felt interested in each other and they talked and interacted with each other like normal people. And healthy communication with everyone, but like I said there was a lot of talking. Sooo muuuch conversation that not even the slightest bit of miscommunication could be had, which meant no one got to confront or stand up to another, so we never really got any feeling on how Pepper and Eric would handle themselves in an argument. But then all of a sudden *BOOM* 'I love you's were everywhere, and behind the readers back the insta-lust/love were happening and that ruined it for me.

For long time readers who have read the entire series they may have a different experience with this book but for me it was lacking and only worth 2.5 stars

Eric and Pepper were a great couple. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get back into reading shifter books, but this one was a good one to break my dry spell with. I love Silver Town and all the folks in it.

If you love shifters, strong-willed women, loving men, a sweet yet steamy romance, some danger intrigue and mystery then ALPHA WOLF NEED NOT APPLY will give you that and so much more.

This was my first Terry Spear read. I enjoyed the strong female lead and the male lead who was fine not taking over. I wasn't a fan of the writing style, but the story was interesting and the plot was strong.
This review is based on an ARC provided by Netgalley.

Terry Spear has a way of telling stories that keep readers engaged and rooting for the characters. This installment in the Silver Town Wolf series follows Eric Silver, a descendant of the town's founding pack. While his cousin is pack leader in Silver Town, Eric serves as park ranger nearby. He has stumbled across evidence of someone growing illegal marijuana on park lands - and he can tell from the scents at each location that wolf shifters are involved. Pack leader Darien and the rest of Silver Town know that wolves involved in criminal activity is bad news, so they all want to find those responsible and shut the operation down.

As Eric searches for those who are growing the marijuana, he encounters a shifter pack he and the Silver Town wolves were not aware of. They are led by Pepper Greystock and live several hours away across the park from Silver Town. Pepper is pack leader and has had to defend her pack and herself from male alpha wolves eager to claim her as mate and take over her pack. So meeting Eric, even if he is one of the good guys taking care of nature in the park and hunting down criminals, still makes her nervous and she lets him know that she and her pack are not up for grabs.

The story follows the growing attraction between Eric and Pepper, the backstory of their earlier romantic lives before they met each other, the trouble with the marijuana growers, and conflict with a new pack that has come into the area and is pressuring Pepper to combine packs. Between wolf fights in the park, teenagers spying on Pepper at their packleader's behest, arson, and actually attending to their day jobs - will these two ever work out their reservations and take the leap?

Fans of Silver Town and Terry Spear will be pleased with this addition to the series. Those new to Silver Town will have the chance to meet some of the characters featured in other books, including Eric's cousins and brothers. A satisfying read for paranormal romance enthusiasts.

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply by Terry Spear is the book that made me admit to myself something that I should have stopped reading her books a couple of books ago. I found the book tiresome and with the same snail's pace on the romance as most of her books have. In this book, I didn´t even think that the main characters should end up together because there weren´t many moments when they acted like a couple beforehand and it was mostly about Pepper not wanting an alpha in her life and Eric trying to convince her that they should be together while doing 3109834 other things at the same time. They were interesting on their own, but made zero sense as a couple. I don´t know how I fInished the book, but once I turned the final page, I made a promise to myself to not read from this author again because her writing style doesn´t fit with my reading one.

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply By Terry Spear is a werewolf paranormal romance. This book is a slow burn romance which fits the plot and characters perfectly.
Both characters are definitely alpha material with strong personalities which makes for an interesting pairing at first. This only increases their chemistry as they work together to look for the villain/s of the story. While neither is looking for love sometimes it is looking for you.
I really enjoyed reading this wolf shifter book. I can not wait to read the next book in the series.

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply is a fun and enjoyable slow-burn paranormal romance featuring wolf shifters. Pepper and Eric are dancing around, and getting to know, each other as the sparks fly, and amidst the danger caused by another wolf who won't take no for an answer. Neither Pepper nor Eric is looking for a mate, but fate may have other plans for them.

Can't wait to read whatever comes next from this very talented author.

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.

This is the first ever Terry Spear book I've read but it won't be my last. You have Eric is a wolf shifter and park ranger who was out looking for criminals in the park where her works and he happens to come upon an injured pack member of Pepper who's the Alpha of her own pack who happens to camping at one the cabins in the park. They have an almost instant attraction but you have another Alpha wolf who wants to be Pepper's mate for her pack and land to use for his own criminal purposes, so she has a lot on her plate while also not being sure if she wants another mate. Eric's determined to take things at Pepper's pace and play by her rules in order to see if there's a change of heart, even with the other Alpha wolf being a thorn in his and his packs side. In the end everything works out wonderfully for both Eric and Pepper especially since they really deserve it especially after dealing with the heartbreak of losing there first mates.

I look foward to reading more from this series and seeing what other books the author has written.

Thanks to NetGalley, Terry Spear and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC

Terry Spear writes more romance supernatural Alpha wolf series. I found I enjoy the stories it was an easy read and more romance than supernatural.
Thank you for Advance copy.

I always look forward to Terry Spears' books, they are so good. This one wasn't any different it was such an enjoyable read.

Eric is a wolf shifter and park ranger, who is trying to criminals, but during the course of his investigation into the mysterious wolves, he comes across fellow shifter Pepper Grayling. The relationship between this is a slow build, she is not looking for a mate so he has to tread carefully. He will do what it takes to convince her to change her mind though. I had fun watching these characters fall for each other, it was sweet.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review from NetGalley.

Enjoyable Alpha story both are strong characters. Though the story is enjoyable I would say its not passionate or intense but comfortable and sometimes a good comfortable story is perfect especially if you want to just relax and sink into a story. Pepper and Eric are good to read about and pack dynamics always play into a good wolf shifter story.

Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply by Terry Spear
Heart of the Wolf series #19. Silver Town wolfs #6. Paranormal wolf shifter romance. Slow build. Can be read as a stand-alone but characters from prior books are supporting and secondary characters in this story. Original publication 2016.
Wolf shifter and park ranger Eric Silver is busy with his job policing the San Isabel National Forest. He’s also searching for the wolves that are illegally growing marijuana plants in so e of the most remote areas of the forest. The Silver pack knows how dangerous the wolf shifters can be if they think their income is threatened. In his searching, Eric comes across another wolf pack run by alpha Pepper Grayling who has a hurt pack member. He helps get the hurt woman to their car but then is attached by a male wolf as he’s leaving. The male isn’t a part of the Grayling pack but he is a threat. Since Pepper is one of the only alphas in her pack, Eric decides to help make sure they are safe. He’s enamored with Pepper but she’s not sure she wants another mate based on her prior experience experiences.

Slow build romance as Eric gets to know the Graylings and threats bounce from Pepper to Eric. He has to prove he’s not out to usurp her role as alpha. If it takes flowers, cooking, birthday parties and safety patrols, he’s all in. Now they just have to get rid of the threat. After they shower. Wink wink.
Another mated couple in this growing family of wolf shifters. Two brothers mated, two to go.
An enjoyable romance with a few steamy scenes and an hea for an afternoon escape.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also found a paperback copy on my bookshelf

This paranormal romance takes us back to Silver town. A wolf run town on the edge of natural forest. Our hero works nearby as a forest ranger. He's found criminal activities being carried out in the park by wolf shifters that are not from a pack he knows. He must catch them before the human rangers do.
Our heroine is an alpha female, who is leader of her own pack. She will not allow some alpha male taking over and changing things.
An action packed story from a series that follows the adventures of the Silver pack. Each of the stories can be read separately, but I think they will tempt you to buy them all. They have danger and romance in each one. They make you want to join the pack. Our the characters are strong, brave and committed to helping everyone.
I loved it.
