**AN ARC WAS GRACIOUSLY PROVIDED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN**
I've been a fan of N.J. Walters since her Drakon series, I'm absolutely in love with those steamy dragons, so I couldn't pass up the chance to dive into another one of her series. And the one thing I've regretted before jumping into Wolf of Her Own was that I haven't read any of the other books in this series. Even though this was standalone and you could easily fall along with who all the characters were and their relation to each other, I just wish I had a bit more background about all of them. I think it would have helped me more with the story. So I'll definitely be visiting the other wolves in this series!
I couldn't tell you the last time I've read a book where the couple was older, even though they're both in their 60s, being wolves they definitely don't look it. Apparently, that's when they're in their prime! Mikhail and Elise are characters you will both love, it was such a sight to see the love grow between these two even though Mikhail probably fell in love the first time he saw Elise. After months of keeping his distance, Elise forces him to make his presence known in front of her. And that's when their story takes off.
Elise hasn't had the best experience with having a mate and she has major hangups about being with another man, the only thing her a-hole of an ex-mate gave her was her sons. Being in an abusive relationship with their father, it would be a while into she was mentally and emotionally ready for anything. And I loved Mikhail's absolutely sweet and caring nature he had towards her, plus his patience with her will make any man or woman swoon over him. It was so evident from the beginning that not even her sons could get in the way of him caring for their mom.
I really admired Elise, she's a survivor and was definitely stronger for it by the end of the book. It wasn't easy for her to break down those walls and it was totally understandable, her personal journey was an honest one. And she had a patient man beside her the entire way.
Such an enjoyable read that solely focused on the romance of the couple and definitely made me want to read about the rest of characters in this series!
