Excerpt: A single howl made me stop short. “The wolves!” “Let’s hope they are farther away than they sound.” Gage tightened his hold on my hand and pulled me forward. Three more howls filled the night. “They sound closer.” We picked up the pace, and I chanced a glance behind me. That was a mistake. Several large grey wolves came into view. “Run!” Gage didn’t need to be told twice. He broke into a run without letting go of my hand. I ran as fast as possible over the frozen snow, but we didn’t get far before the wolves started circling around us. “Oh my god.” Could things get any worse? “You have to make a run for it.” Gage’s voice quivered. “They’re going to kill us.” “I’m not leaving you.” I tried to stay strong, and I kept my eyes locked on the wolves. There were five of them. All of them were massive, much larger than any wolf I’d seen before, but one of them was even bigger and had a large silver streak running down its back. That wolf seemed to be staring right at me. “I’ll distract them. You run. I’ll catch up.” I spotted an opening next to one of the smaller of the wolves and went for it. I didn’t make it far before one of the wolves stepped in front of me. I froze, paralyzed with fear, before my legs were knocked from under me. Suddenly, I was lying in the snow with a giant wolf hovering over me. “We’re fucked.” Gage voiced exactly what I was thinking. The silver streaked wolf stared down at me. It’s almost glowing eyes bored into mine. Was I really going to die as half-frozen food for a giant wild animal? Then things got hazy and the air seemed to buzz. Moments later it wasn’t a wolf on top of me—it was a man. A completely naked man with a faint scar across his face. “What the heck?” I tried to scurry back, but Hunter didn’t move. His very exposed parts nearly touched me. I didn’t want to notice his size, but I did. He was huge. He also didn’t look remotely concerned with the cold. His lips brushed against my ear. “Were you going somewhere?”About DIRE: Dire: The Dire Wolves Chronicles Gage was the first guy I ever wanted. He was my first crush and my first fantasy, but he wasn't my first in any other way because he never saw me as anything more than a friend— at least not until the night that changed everything. It was all Gage's fault. He insisted we drive through the storm and take the back roads. By the time the storm hit full force we had no chance. One night of snowbound sex changed our relationship forever. The problem was at the same time I caught another guy’s attention. This other guy happened to be the alpha of a pack of shifter wolves. I thought the wolves were the worst of my problems, but I was wrong. When things went from bad to worse I had to make a lifelong sacrifice to save Gage, but what price is too much to save the one you love?

REVIEW BY NADIA BOOK OBSESSIVE
4 star read
**Obsessed by Books, arc copy provided in exchange for an honest review**
Where to start? College student fantasies that turn to reality after getting caught in a snow storm on the way home. This novel has peril, steamy sex scenes, werewolves, witches and a love triangle! Not to mention a cliff hanger ending.. As an avid fan of this genre I wasn't gripped by the the prologue but by chapter two or so I was hooked.
Mary Anne is a sassy college student, who doesn't see how attractive she is, who has a crush on Gage. He's got a reputation as a bit of a lady's man on campus yet she dreams of him every night. Travelling to their home town together for the holidays seems like a good idea until the snow really hits. The scenes in the car together are full of humour and really got me invested in the characters.
Although not really full of surprises the plot is familiar and easy to read. They are 'saved' from freezing to death in the snow by a group of over protective men...who are werewolves (yes there are cliches to the plot but enjoyable ones). Things get complicated as their new found sexual interest quickly develops into survival instincts as they plot to escape.
I liked Mary Anne's character and feel there will be more to her...Gage I really like especially when he earns the name Sprinkles this scene had me laughing out loud! Hunter is a little mysterious at the moment but one hot sizzling wolf! I'm not sure which one I'm routing for most, guess I'm wishing they will all get a happy ever after.
I would recommend this as an introduction to paranormal romance as it's an easy but fulfilling read. Can't wait for book two.
