What a fun read! Wolf’s Keep kept me entertained and reading the whole way through. Erin from the present goes back to the 10th century and meets Gaharet-a warrior who happens to shift into a wolf. But there’s more. The evil Comte, the unknown betrayer, the fact that the shifter wolves are being hunted and their numbers dwindling….but Erin and Gaharet together are sizzling! And their love can’t be denied. Can’t wait for book 2 from this talented author.

Quick Summary: An altered time, supernatural, his-fic romance

My Review: Wolf's Keep by K.E. Turner is book 1 in The Wolves of Langeais series.

About the Book: Erin Richardson is an archaeologist, and she is utterly intrigued with the life and history of Gaharet d' Louncrais. When a special amulet triggers a temporal shift, she is suddenly teleported across time and into his keeping. Of course, she is dumbfounded. The only thing she knows is that they share an intense connection and a desire to know the truth behind what is to be for them.

My Final Say: This story was so very interesting. The more I read, the more I was pulled in. What got me from jump was the air of mystery surrounding the amulet and its powers, as well as the journey through time. What kept me glued to the pages was the immediate and ongoing chemistry between the two leads. What compelled me to continue reading was the character play and forces at work. This was a fantastic start to a new series, and I am here for it.

Outlander meets werewolves!!

A fabulous time-travel romance that makes you gasp, swoon and wish you could read faster!! I felt as though I was right there with archaeologist Erin Richardson back in the tenth century and damn did I want to be! Gaharet is the ultimate sword-swinging hero haunted by his own shadows who meets his perfect match in Erin as they decipher the intentions and uncover the plans of the evil camte and archeveque to save his people and himself.
A true masterpiece by debut author KE Turner!! I can't wait for the next one!2 s Renee208 1 follower

Fun premise and tropes.

3.5??

10th century France combined with time travel and werewolves…what a fun combo!

Erin is working at an archeologist dig site in modern day France. She is trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of legendary knight, Gaharet d’Louncrais, when she discovers a unique amulet that whisks her away to the year 999. There she stumbles (literally) upon Gaharet, the knight she was studying. With the discovery of their pack’s existence putting him and his pack’s lives in jeopardy, the alpha hopes Erin’s knowledge of the future will allow him to save those under his protection. Erin needs to decide if the charming knight is worth trusting and if their connection is worth staying for…not that he plans to give her a choice.

First and foremost, I’d to thank the movie, Ever After, for the knowledge of how to pronounce Gaharet’s last name. This was enjoyable and I was quickly immersed in this story. I felt Erin and Gaharet both quickly accepted the time travel aspect but it managed to be believable. I enjoyed the knights and the 10th century setting. I was really intrigued by the evil count and archbishop and their roles. This was instalove but I didn’t mind as much because a) the fated mates aspect and b) there was still some decent tension since Erin was refusing to give into the connection. I was honestly surprised this book ended on a cliffhanger. Thankfully it wasn’t a relational cliffhanger but there were still so many pieces to the plot that I still wanted answers to and I’ll have to read the next book to get them. I would have enjoyed a little more depth to their relationship - we had some interesting glimpses into our MCs’ pasts but nothing was expanded upon. All in all, a decent, quick read with some fun tropes!1 Ash (so there’s this book)217 23

I really the overall time travel meets shifters concept. I think the mechanics of the time travel and the FMCs ability to make living in the year 999 work all made sense. I really that Erin is an archaeologist and has advanced knowledge of the time frame, and info that can help the MMC, Gaharet with his pack issues.

As for Gaharet, he is a pretty typical alpha male type shifter, but honestly softer than most, with less of a barbaric disposition, but still maintains the possessive personality that is standard for shifters / alphas.

If I had to categorize this, I’d say it falls in the “cozy” category of books, meaning it was relatively low stakes, low stress, with lots of good feels. I think the romance was well written, but had a slightly insta-love feel for Gaharet, and an insta-lust for Erin that turned into a slow burn love. The smut was very minimal, and not overly graphic, but open door.

I really wish there had been some more developed emotions and character development. While I enjoyed the story immensely, I really think the MCs needed deeper, more developed feelings and characters arcs. That would have really given this story the extra spark.

This is set up for more books in this series, perhaps interconnected books exploring other members of the pack. The writing is 3rd person POV and there were more POVs in the book than just the MCs, so there is definitely room for more stories in this world.

All in all, an okay, cozy shifter romance.
