No Wolves Road, 3

\n

When Astrid Sinclair was sixteen years old, she had her first encounter with Lord, the lone wolf who lived near No Wolves Road. He stopped her from getting run over, as she was so engrossed in her book. Lord was not a man anyone wanted to mess with. A grumpy, lonely wolf, with no pack.

But, he was also a man she couldn’t stop thinking about. That's why she answered his ad for a housekeeper and chose to work at his ranch.

Lord hated books. Yet, every day, he went to the library where Astrid worked. He needed a cook and a cleaner, and Astrid answered that ad. The job was hers.

He wasn’t good with people, but Astrid called to a part of him he didn’t know existed. Astrid was his, he was sure of it. One night, during the full moon, he went to her, and he couldn’t control his need. She gave her virginity to him, and in return, he called her a convenience.

Hurt. Betrayed. She tried to forget about him. She tried to build a life away from him, even as she continued to work. However, there were forces working to bring them together. Neither could fight it.

They were at the mercy of their needs. Would they be able to forget their past and fight for their future?

\n

 

\n

Excerpt:

\n

“I’m not going to do anything,” Lord said.

\n

Blake looked at him, doubtful.

\n

“I’m never close to home during a full moon, and I have no intention of going back there until after the full moon has come and gone.” That was as clear as he could get.

\n

“You’re not. Won’t you starve?”

\n

“I have already packed myself some food to get by.” He knew he was acting strangely, and the best way to deal with that problem was to keep a wide berth.

\n

Astrid was the problem, as was the full moon. If he kept his distance, all would be okay.

\n

He and Blake continued to fix the rest of the fences that had broken down. It didn’t matter how often he did this job, it was a never-ending task. Fences wore over time and constantly needed fixing. It was a job he liked to do himself, and not rely on anyone else. After they got through the fixing, he took his lunch case and let Blake take the car back to the house.

\n

He made his way toward the forest that was far from his property, but also a nice, secluded spot that meant he never interacted with anyone else. In all the years he’d been at No Wolves Road during a full moon, he’d thankfully avoided other packs.

\n

Lord knew he was an anomaly to most of the packs. He knew there were always horror stories about wolves expelled by packs. When he was first expelled, he had feared the rabid taking over. Becoming rogue. Hurting people. Even though he wasn’t the biggest fan of humans, he didn’t want to hurt anyone. He only hurt people in self-defense. And that was rare.

\n

He found his spot, which was near an old-looking tree. This is where he spent a lot of full moons. There were occasions he would run, but he would always come to rest at the thickest trunk, and this is where he sat, opening his lunch tray and taking out one of the many burritos Astrid had prepared just that morning. She hadn’t known he’d been watching her. There were parts of the house where he could stand and just look at her without her knowing. Although, she had known someone was watching her, with the way she kept looking over to where he stood.

\n

The burrito was delicious. She had made some kind of breakfast meat, rice, beans, cheese, and wrapped it all in a tortilla. It tasted so good, and within a few bites, it was all gone.

\n

This is why he stole a second one, and he took a nice large bite out of it, stuffing his face as he did, trying to think of someone other than Astrid. This morning, she had worn a pair of jeans and an oversized sweater that kept riding up over her stomach every time she reached for something off the top shelf. He couldn’t get the image out of his mind. Not that he would ever want to. She looked amazing.

\n

The temptation to close the distance between them and press his face against her stomach had been so strong. He didn’t know how he was able to avoid it.

\n

Lord couldn’t deny he had gotten closer to her. There had been a moment when the temptation to pull her into his arms had been so strong, but he had avoided it and just stole the burritos, along with the cookies.

\n

He finished the two burritos he had taken, along with the five cookies. It was in that moment, he didn’t know what he was going to do about food tomorrow. There was no way he could go back to the house.

\n

Astrid was too much temptation. He couldn’t deny it. Even now, as he sat leaning against his favorite tree trunk, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. The delicate curve of her neck. The sweetness of her body as it pressed against him. He felt his cock start to thicken and his need getting stronger. Lord wanted her desperately. But she was human. There was no way he was going to stop her.

\n

And he thought about that day, all those years ago, when he’d been minding his own business. She’d caught his attention for just a brief second, and he figured humans were crazy, with their heads so focused on books. He was not going to let anything happen to her.

\n

He’d seen the danger, and it was like his wolf couldn’t stand it. He could blame his wolf, but the truth was, neither could he.

\n

He felt compelled to protect Astrid. He had a feeling he knew why, but Astrid was a human, and he was never going to mate with a human. These feelings had to stay dead. It would never work.

Shaw","rating":"4","title":"Not So Lonely Wolf","text":"Lonely Wolf is the third book in the No Wolves Road series, and it’s the kind of fated-mates romance that keeps you turning pages because you know they belong together, yet the characters insist on making you work for it.\r\n\r\nAstrid and Lord are combustible in that way where every scene feels loaded with the pull. Lord is a grumpy, solitary wolf who would rather retreat into the woods (and his own stubbornness) than act on what's obvious: Astrid is his mate. He can try to deny it, but his instincts, and his constant orbit around her, tell the truth every time. Watching him fight the bond while still being unable to stay away is equal parts frustrating and wildly entertaining.\r\n\r\nAstrid is easy to love: she’s a bookworm, a genuinely talented cook, and she’s been quietly carrying a soft spot for Lord for a long time. When she finally gets the chance to be close to him, it feels like the story is about to click into place, and then the emotional chaos hits. Miscommunication and shaky trust nearly send everything off the rails, and there were moments I wanted to shake them both and yell, “Just talk honestly to each other!” But that tension also makes the payoff sweeter, because the happily ever after isn’t handed to them, they have to earn it.\r\n\r\nAdd in engaging characters you can’t help rooting for, solid drama, spicy romance, and a touch of humor, and Lonely Wolf delivers a satisfying love story for anyone who enjoys grumpy heroes, devoted heroines, and fated mates who take the scenic route to forever.\r\n","date":"19th Jan 2026"},{"name":"Joreads","rating":"5","title":"Loan Wolf meets his mate","text":"Lord is a lone wold.

And now that she's twenty-six, she's the newly hired live-in housekeeper at Lord's ranch.\r\nLord has kept an eye on Astrid for a while. Though he's not a reader, he's managed to frequent the local library- where Astrid worked before coming to his ranch. Though he doesn't admit it, those around him can see that he's clearly into Astrid. One night during a storm, the two have a hot night. But when Astrid overhears Lord talking about is dismissively, she's rightly upset. Will Lord be able to win back Astrid? Will she be able to forgive him?

Lord is a lone wolf. He left his pack long ago and really doesn't like others, whether they are human or wolf shifter. He's made a home for himself on a ranch outside of a wolf and human integrated town. The only reason he goes into town is Astrid. Years ago, he stopped her from walking into traffic (she was walking and reading). Since then he's kept an eye on her, on the down low of course. He visits the library every week for a new book, even though he hates reading. Guess who works at the library? As for Astrid, she fell in love the day he saved her. When Lord advertised for a ranch cook, specifically with Astrid in mind, she applies and now they both live under one roof...They give into their attraction, but then they are at an impass. Lord, as a typical male, is kind of emotionally stupid. He really hurt Astrid's feelings and she, understandably, withdrew to protect herself. Now Lord has to figure himself out and make things right. I'm glad Astrid didn't just rollover, she made he earn her trust. I loved the story and the characters. Great epilogue as well.

Sam Crescent delivers a deeply emotional paranormal romance centered on longing, regret, and the powerful pull of fate.\r\n\r\nAstrid’s connection to Lord begins years before the romance truly takes shape, and that history adds weight to every interaction between them. Lord is the definition of a solitary alpha—gruff, emotionally closed off, and painfully unaware of how deeply his words can wound. Astrid, on the other hand, is gentle but resilient, carrying her love of books and her heartbreak with equal determination. Watching her grow, hurt, and still find the strength to stand her ground made her incredibly easy to root for.\r\n\r\nWhat stood out most was the emotional tension. Lord’s internal struggle—his inability to communicate, his fear of connection, and his instinct to push away the one person who matters—felt authentic to his lonely, packless nature. The hurt between them isn’t brushed aside or magically fixed, which makes their journey toward reconciliation feel earned and satisfying.\r\n\r\nThe paranormal elements blend seamlessly with the romance, adding intensity without overpowering the emotional core. This is a story about second chances, accountability, and learning how to fight for love instead of running from it.\r\n\r\nIf you enjoy shifter romances that lean heavily into emotion, flawed characters, and fated connections that refuse to fade, Lonely Wolf is a compelling, heartfelt read that delivers a rewarding happily-ever-after.
