This is an paranormal romance with werewolves, fated mates, and twins who will protect their partner against anything. I enjoyed the setup and that the main female character Sloane was caring and kind and willing to stand up to the bad guy.

I d how fast this was, though it could have taken more time to develop the relationship instead of relying on the mating bond to accelerate everything. I think the whole story took about a week and would have preferred a longer timespan. There were also a couple times where the story repeated itself, maybe the author forgot they'd already written that dialogue.

I will read the sequel if I come across it and the spicy scenes were pretty good, if short.

This book is on the darker side of the romance spectrum. There is a lot of violence and fighting and a very disturbing alpha running around hurting people. So if that’s a trigger for you or not your cup of tea then this isn’t the boo for you.
That being said this is a fast paced, well written, full of suspense read. There is a bit of spice to it but it’s tastefully done. If I had to choose just one word I’d say it’s heart-pounding. I certainly felt that’s as I read. Sloane is an immediately likable main character and her mates and family are a wonderful balance. The evil side of the force may make you want to scream but you can’t deny that there is a visceral reaction to them. Which in and of itself is a mark of a well written story. While I wouldn’t want something this dark to read every day I definitely will say I enjoyed this book very much and am interested in knowing what happens next.

Wolf Arranged is book 1 in the Betrayed by Blood series. It does end in a cliffhanger, and there are definitely triggers for violence. The story is a fated mate, wolf shifter, and paranormal saga. There is romance, but to me, this is not a romance story. Sloane is the daughter of an alpha. She has agreed to go to another pack to breed with their Alpha's son to avoid a war. Alpha Dane is the leader of the pack she is being taken to. He is an unhinged monster driven by power and bloodlust. He has 3 sons, Sawyer and Lincoln, who are twins, and Mikey, who is as unhinged as his dad. He is trying to breed his sons with strong women to strengthen his pack. Lincoln is the sigma she is matched with, and they find they are also fated mates. But she ends up also being mated to his twin brother, Sawyer. The twins are good and secretly trying to work against their dad. The three struggle as their Dad does not want Sloane to mate with anyone but Lincoln. But Lincoln and Sawyer know she is theirs. They are fine sharing, but Dad doesn't their bond, and resisting the mating pull is hard on them all. This was a well written, fast-paced read. We get some steam with our throuple but am anxious to see where the next installment goes. They are at war, and I hope this group can make it. I do love the three of them together and hope we will get a happy ending someday.

A dark paranormal romance with wolf shifters, and fated mates which ends with a cliffhanger. I actually really enjoyed the last 20% with the extra level of suspense and fast-paced storytelling.

Twenty year old Sloane is forced to join a wolf pack under the control of an evil alpha. She is being forced to mate with on of the alpha’s twin sons, Lincoln, but is surprised to discover they are both her fated mates.

A good portion of the book is describing the horrible actions Alpha Dane and his wolves are taking against other wolf packs. Killing the majority of packs for imagined slights and to control the few survivors.

There isn’t really any romance between Sloane and either twin. The connection is entirely based on their fated mate bond which has them physically attracted to each other. Lincoln and Sawyer are working together to take down and end their father’s cruel power.

I’m not sure whether I want to read the next book or not. This story while interesting and exciting at the end, was a bit of a chore to read the first 70%.

I feel this had the potential to be my next favorite shifter book, however this book somehow managed to move too fast while also dragging and repeating itself. I also felt it was almost a string of quotes the author wrote and then filled the story in around them because it would be … oh we are never alone, but look we are alone again, but we can’t be together because they’ll smell us, to, ok but now we are having a three way in a cave, and here’s a great one liner hook that I wrote as a Tik tok teaser.

I really d the premise and the plot points, it just didn’t move seamlessly within the narrative. Considered DNFing multiple times but didn’t want to because I really thought it had potential. I almost want to hand it back to the author, thank them for the draft, tell them to split it in half into two books and give us more substance instead of everything being a result of the mate bond or “my crazy dad knows everything”- I really wanted more development. But also … Really really lovely attempt at a dark Shifter fated mates book. Cams Roberts643 6

I had originally DNF’ed this book because I mistakenly thought something was going to happen that I wasn’t ready to read. After flicking through I realised I was wrong, so ended up finishing.
This is dark, violent and bloody with an Alpha I would happily see come to a horrific sticky ending. I hate him, with every fibre of my being.
The MC’s were ok but I feel this story revolves more around the plot and the action taking place, and the romance part of it takes a back seat.
There is a cliffhanger which I hope gets resolved in the next book so I can fantasise I’m dancing on Dane’s grave with gusto.

Thank you to booksprout for the arc and apologies to Bethany Shaw. I did rescind my offer to review but ended up finishing the book after all. read-2024 read-arc Janette GellarAuthor 2 books5

This is a New Adult, wolf shifter, why choose, sold to the enemy romance. Trigger warnings there is an underage girl involved but she's psychologically tortured only. The set up was fairly normal. Evil crazy alpha decides to start demanding women to breed the new generation but that's where it stops being run of the mill. This story has a lot of action, battles are bloody and the characters are definitely earning their right to take down the king. It ends on a cliff hanger but I couldn't put this book down. I can't wait for book 2 to come out.

This paranormal story is non-stop action and I found myself hating to put it down! It reads a thriller, but the paranormal setting makes this unique. The fmc Sloane and her twin mmc mates have an immediate connection and it never wavers. The guys are loyal and faithful, working with Sloane to escape their father's evil plans.

There is graphic violence, graphic MFM sex, and a cliffhanger. The second book is definitely on my list to be read!.

There is definitely a cliffhanger at the end of this story which is totally frustrating. I got invested in Sloane, Lincoln and Sawyer immediately. The story is gruesome, violent and edge of your seat action. There is some steam but it takes a back seat to the danger and violence. I want to see everyone succeed, hopefully in the next book, but I will have to be in the mind set to read it.

This is a good start to a new series with drama, action, adventure, and violence. The romance aspect takes a back seat for now. The FMC is sent to another pack to prevent problems, but her wolf imprints on two, creating a different set of problems. Perhaps the next book will have more of a romance aspect. I d this entertaining and enjoyable read.

That was an interesting book. Your characters were well written and developed. This book will definitely take you on a great adventure. Packs destroying other packs for their women to breed because they only have male pups instead of females. If you love dark paranormal romances than you should read this book. Kathryn5,804 19

This is an intriguing start to the Betrayed by Blood series. It is a shifter romance with MFM. Lincoln, Sawyer and Sloane are character that I easily became invested in. I instantly was able to connect with Sloane. This was a one sitting read for me and I am so excited in reading where this series goes. Gladys12.2k 140

I enjoyed this book and it left excited to continue this new series. I thought the author crafted a very intriguing story that grabs hold quickly and has you passionately invested. Tension, drama, emotion, darkness, steam, action and twists kept me feverishly reading Lincoln, Sloane and Sawyer's right until I could turn that final page. Nicole Deanne Veracruz943 6

Wow this book is seriously dark and very cutthroat. I absolutely love Lincoln Sloane and Sawyer. The Cliffhanger literally hadn't shaking. I can't wait to see Alpha Dane go down. I'm anxiously awaiting the second book. If you're not into dark romance this is not the book for you.

It is well-written, had great characters, and the story is interesting, it keeps you on the edge of your seat in some places.

I am hoping this will be a series and am looking forward to another book.

Good Read

It is an easy read and is entertaining enough for adults and older teens. The main actors are teens and twenties. Jordan821 10
