This paranormal romance is part of a series. Each book can be read on it's own but because the main villain is the same the series is better read in order. Our hero is the black lone wolf. His purpose is to police werewolves and destroy any who go rogue. Over the years he has built up a lucrative business in procurement, mainly mercenaries and weapons. That will come in handy in difficult situations.
Our heroine is a Mage and has been linked to the hero since birth.
I won't tell you how because that would spoil the story.
Our characters will have a lot of danger to face. You might need the tissues, especially during the final magical battle. It is a steamy story but it has a lot more to it than that. A great storyline and fantastic characters. It is well worth reading the whole series.
I loved it.

Tempting the Black Wolf by N. J. Walters is a perfect book for paranormal spicy romance reader.
This is the 3rd book from The Lone Wolf Legacy.

The storyline continued from the 2nd book where Onyx helping Kade from Solange's attack. However, reader are able to read this book as a standalone.

Dagen needs Onyx's help to destroy Solange. However, the attraction between him and Onyx are unable to resist. He thought that the bonding between them are because of magic and fake.

✅ Wolf
✅ Mage
✅ Forced proximity
✅ High sexual tension (5⭐)
✅ Action packed
✅ Suspense
✅ Angst
✅ Rejection
✅ Tear jerker
✅ Plot twist
✅ Heart stopping moment
✅ Plenty of Spicy scenes intense and explicit

I'll absolutely need to read the next book by N. J. Walter because I just can't get enough of this incredible book.

This is the exact ending I was looking for. A finale to end the series and a send off for the characters who have fought and won over the evil that had arisen.

Temptation comes in many forms and for Dagen, that form is Onyx.  They're frequently rivals, going after the same information or artefact.  And just when he thinks he's pipped her to the biggest prize yet, some magical sleight of hand leaves her holding the prize!

Onyx is a reluctant mage.  With the childhood (see t0rtur£) she endured you can understand why she tries to stay under the radar.  But with their joint enemies closing in, it's time for Dagen and Onyx to join forces and rout out the enemy.

There are still some big twists and reveals to come - totally called one of them!  However, there are plenty of layers to the story to get stuck into - blood debts, finding out who the true Lone Wolf is, Onyx background, etc.  

Solange and Charles are back to their murky best and you really can feel no redemption from them at all!  There is some serious mistrust for Dagen and Onyx to wade through, perfectly warranted on both sides.  But the chemistry between these two is palpable.  The ribbing between the three lone wolves was really enjoyable but it's their other halves who really bond them together.

Absolutely loved this, I’m a huge shifter/paranormal romance fan and this was right up my street, everything I wanted and more, great characters, plenty of chemistry, great drama and tension, perfect shifter read

Book Review: Tempting the Black Wolf by NJ Walters

✨ Tropes:
🐺 Fated Mates
💜 Blood Bound
🐺 Magic
💜 Lone Wolf & Human
🐺 Found Family
💜 Steam & Spice

Tempting the Black Wolf is an intense and magical adventure where two people are bound by blood, magic, and a shared mission—killing the evil mage, Solange Dupree. They’re forced into a dangerous alliance, prepared to use each other in any way necessary to achieve their goal. The story kicks off with a magical book that holds the key to Solange’s demise, drawing readers into a thrilling plot filled with action, steamy moments, and a newfound family. The building heat and plot make this a win for me!NJ Walters delivers on both spice and story in this gripping fantasy romance!

✨This is the third book, but can definitely be read as a standalone.

Well the conclusion of this trilogy certainly didn't disappoint. We've met the Mage Onyx before but now it's time for the infamous Black Wolf Dagen to get to know her . Can Dagen trust her though because trust me Onyx has a doozie of a secret but my lips are sealed. What is pulse poundingly obvious is that this couple are incredibly drawn to each other. The stakes are high and although these legendary Lone Wolves don't usually work with others with common enemies that just might have to change !
This as with the previous books was a fabulous and fast paced story. Yes its steamy but there's a sweetness to it as well with Dagen being a glorious alpha male. This trilogy has been a delight to read and as usual the cover art brings everything to life. I found this very easy to lose myself in and heartily recommend if you enjoy paranormal romance.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Fantastic!

A great ending to the series! Dagen and Onyx have a captivating enemies to lovers story with emotion, drama, action and surprises.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

The last book in the Lone Wolf series is here! I thought this series was a unique take on a shifter romance with the Legend Of The Lone Wolf. I love the fated mates trope in this story. Onyx and Dagen tried their hardest to resist each other….but fate had other plans!

Both of the MCs were smart anf stubborn and that leads to some great tension.

While the ending was a little bit of a let down for me, overall I enjoyed this story.

This is the finale and part of the Lone Wolf Legacy trilogy series. Onyx is a mage who is blood tied to the Black Wolf, Dagen Kern. He is one of the three Lone Wolves whose job it is to hunt rogue wolves, protecting humans from becoming prey and the werewolf community from exposure. Onyx and Dagen must learn to trust each other and work together to defeat Solange, a powerful evil mage, and Charles, her werewolf lover, who will do anything to take the Lone Wolf's immortality.

There was not really a whole lot going on the first three quarters of the book. It felt like it was just a continuously mundane inner monolog of uncertainty and mistrust between the two main characters. The main action took place in the last quarter. There were a couple of spicy scenes throughout the book that tried to portray their mutal attractions and increased desire for each other. Overall it was a good story and conclusion to the trilogy.

We’ve all been waiting for this one, the elusive black wolf. The lone wolf that takes everything one step further, and is just all around more. More cunning, more stealthy, more intense, he’s just more. My Dagen, alpha of the alphas…..mine, mine, mine…let’s all say it with me, Sue’s Sue’s, Sue’s🤣. We all knew that the black wolf was more elusive than the other wolves, blending in and untraceable, he really is the alpha of the alpha’s. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, I love, love NJ Walter’s wolves, and I do, so much. I just can’t get enough, whether it’s the Salvation pack, the original or the next generation, or the lone wolves, my addiction is very real. I always want more NJ Walters wolves, not sure who needs to know this, but feel free to let your people know that…I know, I’m subtle like a Mack truck.

These two had my heart, all their passion, they were in it together and that was it. I had a lot of awe moments with these two, just very thoughtful of each other when it came down to it, used to normally being alone, but really had each other’s back, and were there for each other. They knew they needed each other, and were in it until the very end. Dagen is the last of the lone wolves, which makes me sad, but so happy for all three of them. Three lone wolves getting the hea’s they greatly deserve. Fantastic storyline, with a heart racing showdown, a great epilogue that made my heart happy, and a hea. This was a fantastic book, and it was a fantastic series, they will be missed. Probably gonna need to start a support group…just saying. Hope you all enjoy this series ending as much as I did.

I was excited to be selected as an e-ARC reader for Tempting the Black Wolf. I had not read the first two books in the Lone Wolf Legacy trilogy, but found this to be a standalone book that could be read and understood without the other two. Dagen is a powerful Lone Wolf, who is endowed with immortality, but unlike normal wolf shifters, is destined to be alone and is the judge and executioner of rogue wolves. Onyx is a mage who has a very complicated past. They are tied to each other through a blood link, which makes them both question if the feelings they are fighting are really their own or just the link that was forced upon them. This book read very quickly once I got into it and I enjoyed watching Dagen and Onyx figure out what they meant to each other. I enjoyed the final “showdown” and that there was closure to the book and their story (although room for more should the author want to delve back into their world).

This book was written to keep the reader entertained and does very good job. Fast paced and not wordy. Loved it.

We learnt at the end of the last book that the black wolf was Dagan Kern who has been helping the others unbeknown to them. We also met Onyx the beautiful mage who helped the Gray Wolf.
This is the final of the trilogy and it brings Dagan together with Onyx which is a fascinating relationship as they are both extremely strong characters. I so enjoyed their interactions and strengths as they battled with Solange and Charles to discover the truth and attempt to end it.
There are some surprising revelations and some great emotional and physical battles as you would expect.
For me this was the perfect ending and it brought all of the wolves and their storylines together.
Breathtakingly brilliant for me so an easy five stars!

Tempting the Black Wolf is the third and final book in the Lone Wolf series and what an intense and captivating read it is! This is definitely a series you need to read in order as the enemy remains the same throughout each book and events across the series, come together in this explosive conclusion. T

I was enamoured with Dagen and Onyx as they both displayed fierce, loyal and passionate natures and Dagen is inexplicably drawn to this independent woman through the craving of his wolf as much as they would both like to deny any true connection. There is suspense, danger and anticipation in the storyline, and an ending that is well worth the wait.

did not read the first two books in the series. It did take me a few chapters to get into the story. After reading the book, I would like to read the first two books in the series. My favorite part of the story was the last few chapters- the action scene. I enjoyed watching Oynx and Dagen relationship build throughout the book.

Rating: 3.5 Stars

Tempting the Black Wolf wraps up NJ Walters’s Lone Wolf series with a thrilling bang. This is the third book, but it can be read as a standalone. If you’re into magic, enemies-to-lovers vibes, and a dash of spice, this book delivers.

Onyx and Dagen are locked in a battle of wills, both determined to resist their bond. They’re fiercely independent, and while Dagen knows Onyx doesn’t need him, his inner wolf has other plans—he definitely needs her. As the most powerful, the black wolf, Dagen isn’t exactly thrilled about trusting or wanting his fated mate, but with a shared goal in sight, these two reluctant allies have no choice but to team up. Sparks fly, and trust? Well, that’s a work in progress!

The climactic showdown, though, didn’t quite pack the punch I was expecting after all the buildup throughout the series. Still, it’s a solid conclusion to the trilogy and a must-read if you’ve been along for the Lone Wolf ride!

What to Expect:
••» Fated Mates
••» Found Family
••» Magic
••» Blood Bound
••» Lone Wolf & Human
••» Enemies-to-Lovers Vibes

Rated 3.5 Stars

I was excited to read Tempting the Black Wolf after enjoying the first two books. While it was good I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the previous books. It was repetitive. The main characters had the same conversation about the status of their relationship multiple times. However, I did enjoy the action, magic and watching Onyx and Dagen overcome their fears and insecurities among other things. It was a fitting end to an awesome trilogy, one that I recommend.

Enjoyable conclusion to the Lone Wolf Legacy series!

I've really enjoyed reading this series and I thought the author did a pretty good job tying up loose ends in "Tempting the Black Wolf" .

I thought that Dagen and Onyx had a really interesting storyline. It felt like a rival to lovers trope to me, not quite enemies but rather two stubborn people who ultimately would have to learn to trust each other to accomplish a common goal.

I think this series is definitely worth adding to your TBR but make sure to read them in order to fully understand the whole story.

Tempting The Black Wolf - Review

I’ve always loved wolves, especially in fantasy novels where their loyalty and strength shine. Wolves mate for life, a team through and through, and that idea of loyalty is central to this story.

Dagen, the “Lone Black Wolf,” is tasked with keeping all wolves in check. Living a solitary life, his true mission is to defeat an evil mage who seeks to steal his immortality.

Onyx, a mage created by this same evil, is linked to Dagen from birth, meant to be his weakness.

Their story is built on trust. As the saying goes, “The enemy of my enemy is my ally,” but can Dagen and Onyx set aside their distrust and work together?

I really enjoyed this book. Although I hadn’t read the first two books in the series, this one stands strong on its own.

If you’re into paranormal romance, magic, fated lovers, slow-burn tension with some steamy moments, and a magical battle that hits you right in the feels, this one’s for you!
