Pack of Her Own

By Elena Abbott

Natalie Donovan jumps at a friend’s offer to stay in the family cabin for a month—she desperately needs the chance to get away from, and get over, her messy breakup. She doesn’t count on the owner of the local diner making her heart pound and her body desperate to be touched.

Wren Carne is a lone wolf. As an Alpha shifter, she has no pack and maintains her territory without causing drama, just the way she likes it. When she checks on the girl staying in a local cabin, she’s not expecting her wolf to identify the human as her One True Mate.

As fallout from their pasts encroaches upon the sleepy town of Terabend, Wren must decide if she wants a pack of her own, while Natalie worries that her secret—she’s transgender—might be too much for Wren.

As fate brings these two women together, their bond is put to the test. Ashly must decide if her life as a hunter is more important than the woman she wants to spend her future with, as Rias learns what it is to truly live, in spite of her past.

Hunter Sarah left her religious witch-hunting family behind for the freedom to be herself. Simplicity is her mantra now, as she lives and works alongside her found family of supernatural women. The day Sarah shows up at a witch’s property to build a yoga studio, though, her mantra skips a beat.

For witch Oriana, leaving her abusive ex was her first step toward a new life. Moving to Obsidian Falls and becoming a yoga instructor quickly followed. Her dismal romantic track record is proof she needs to focus on anything but love. But the moment she sets eyes on a member of the supernatural construction crew building her studio, she knows her heart didn’t get the memo.

When Oriana’s ex shows up, and Sarah’s inner Hunter responds, their painful pasts collide in a waterfall of revealed secrets and fears come to life. They must decide if their love is worth building, or better left behind.

A coalition is forged between Liege Jody Gates’s Vampires, the Snowcrest wolf Weres, the mountain cat Weres, and Sylvan’s Timberwolves to take the battle to the enemy in Faerie. But before war can be waged, another alliance is needed—the wolf Weres must agree to provide blood for their Vampire comrades once inside Faerie.

Anya, a young wolf warrior, finds herself paired with Rafe, one of the most powerful Vampires in the Americas, in an erotic union of blood and sex that ignites her primal instincts in a way she never imagined.

When her celebrity chef boss is taken down in a sexual harassment scandal, Chelsea Boudreaux’s dream of getting her own cooking show comes true. Her hometown of Duchesne, Louisiana, provides the perfect backdrop for her modern takes on traditional Cajun fare. Vindicating herself to the mother who never believed in her is icing on the cake.

Bryce Cormier never left Duchesne and has no regrets, except that falling in love as a trans guy in a tiny town is easier said than done. When Chelsea comes home after more than a decade away, Bryce thinks he may have found the perfect woman. At least until Chelsea’s burgeoning celebrity spills over and turns his world upside down.

It turns out love is like a good gumbo—what seems simple is complex, and the best results require a bit of courage. And like all the recipes say… First, you make a roux.

- ...a paranormal romance with a transgender protagonist feels refreshing and kinda punk rock.
- By Netgalley.com

- Technically, Pack of Her Own follows a lot of well-tread paths of your typical paranormal romance. But, especially with so much transphobic legislation being introduced as of the year of this review, a paranormal romance with a transgender protagonist feels refreshing and kinda punk rock.
  
  There is a certain emotional weight that elevates Pack of Her Own from the average supernatural romp. Like when the inevitable third act break up occurs, human Natalie believes it occurs because she is trans (her werewolf lover actually is afraid their relationship will result in harming the very human Natalie) and instead of the breakup feeling like a melodrama it feels gut-wrenching and tragic...
  
  Every transgender person’s life and views are different, obviously, but some of the descriptions with Natalie opened up a way of owning her body that I haven’t thought of before. Funnily enough it’s during a sex scene, but the way Natalie owns her own descriptions of her body is so liberating...
  
  Both love interests have good character arcs in the book, and we see bits of other supernatural creatures in this welcoming forest town. I would love to see this become a series...

- 4.5/5 stars!...This story felt so fresh and unique. I loved that there was queer representation in a normally "alpha male" category of writing. The author created something truly special with Natalie and Wren. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for future books by Elena Abbott.

- The sex is hot and established norms in shifterdom bucked in this up and down romance.

- A very bad breakup and emotional turmoil has Natalie Donovan with her back to the wall. Then she is offered one month's free use of a cabin by a friend. The nearby small town of Terabend has a lovely diner and Wren Carne is the owner. She is an alpha wolf shifter who keeps an eye on things and wants her town to remain nice and quiet. When they meet, Natalie and Wren are perfect together. Both have had toxic relationships but the attraction is evident from the start.
  The MC's of a trans woman and a wolf shifter, vampires and other side characters are well written. The sex is hot and established norms in shifterdom bucked in this up and down romance. There are fights with trespassing wolves and some drawn out angst but all in all I think we have a good start to a possible paranormal series.

- The sex scenes were unique for me and definitely hot.

- This is a story about Natalie, a transgender woman, who has had a very difficult life as a teenager and young adult. She recently broke up with her girlfriend of 8 years. She feels alone and rejected by everyone she knows. Wren is a werewolf who owns a diner in a small town...Wren and Natalie have instant attraction even though they both keep their true selves a secret for the first half of the book. I liked the action scenes and Wren’s wolf was very powerful and she learns to be leader as the story progresses.
  
  The sex scenes were unique for me and definitely hot. Abbott did a great job on developing the emotions and intimacy between Wren and Natalie...

- This was an excellent sapphic shifter romance with a trans main character.

- This was an excellent sapphic shifter romance with a trans main character.
  
  Natalie is struggling with the end of a long-term relationship that was very toxic and controlling and where she was made to feel bad about herself and her identity. Hearing her backstory made you really sympathize with her and want her to find happiness. I was so angered about her treatment by her ex! So I was very invested!
  
  Enter Wren, a wolf shifter who escaped a pack and has her own history of toxic control she is trying to distance herself from. The two are immediately attracted to one another, and have a lot of similarities which makes them a perfect match, and maybe even fated mates.
  
  I liked the lore of the town of supernaturals to discover, and hope to learn more about the host of side-characters, perhaps in future installments!? I like the world building that has started here, and can easily see many intertwined stories for this location and other characters...I would recommend it if you're into shifter stories, supernatural stories and stories about a trans-woman and her alpha finding their happiness together, and moving on from past traumas.
