My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tasha and Levi are sworn enemies by nature, but after a night of passion, their lives are changed forever. They both know their love would never be accepted by either species, and the consequences of their actions could literally kill them. With their own problems looming on the horizon, Tasha and Levi must soon work together to face an enemy that threatens both of their species. But with this new threat and the forbidden nature of their love, it’s clear solving the problem isn’t going to be easy. If you like romance, action, and vampire/werewolf themes, you’ll enjoy Forbidden Wolf.

Forbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson is the first book in the Shadow Chronicles. This is an absolutely fantastic book that sucks in you right from the word go. It is exciting and adventurous. I loved how there was such a mix of characters. Each one seemed to have a part to play and were written so well that I was fully invested.
After reading the blurb I expected this to be similar to other books I have read of this type and yet it felt refreshing and new. The author managed to put their own stamp on the storyline so that it was easy to differentiate.
This is a brilliant book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I am already looking forward to book two.

This is a great paranormal story. It contains my favourite things vampires and werewolves and romance. The author does an amazing job with the characters. From their first meeting you get caught up in the connection between Tasha and Levi. Their connection is hot and passionate and the fact that it’s forbidden makes their feelings even stronger. How can something that feels so right be so wrong?
Their story has love and heartbreak when their summer ends and Levi and Tasha have to part and fight for their own species against each other.
You can feel the turmoil and the heartache this causes them both.
Can their love survive? Is their love the trigger needed to reunite their species after all the years of war or will they be punished for a love they feel is right. I was gripped from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

This was my first book by this author but it certainly won’t be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed this read from start to finish.

Where to even start with Forbidden Wolf? What a fantastic novel! Tasha, a lonely vampire, meets Levi, a strong, powerful lycan, by accident one night. What starts as a chance encounter quickly escalates into a forbidden love as the lycans and vampires are sworn enemies. Keeping their love a secret grows increasingly hard as they fall more and more for one another. But their love could be the death of them if either Levi’s pack or Tasha’s coven finds out. When a common enemy threatens both sides, Tasha and Levi may hold the only key to survival.

This story is amazing! Beautifully written, I was rooting for Levi and Tasha from the first time they met–their relationship, the undeniable pull they feel for each other, their stolen moments together. The evil this face is creepy, dark, twisted, and unique. C.R. Robertson knows how to write! I am really looking forward to the second novel to see how it all plays out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ummm HECK YES! This was my first CR Robertson book and honestly my first experience with an almost otherworldly vamp/wolf/something else dark and unknown (but in reality very well known) combo, so I was excited to see how it went. I have to say I am truly left with a gnawing need to know what happens next! Forbidden Wolf is a fantastic weaving of Lycan/vamp lore, action, romance, mystery, and has a slight dystopian feel. Where life is dangerous, unknown, more darkness than light, more obstacle than opportunity but mixed in with an absolutely beautiful love that goes beyond words and sex to something eternal. The steam is amazing, the characters are 3D and full of life, and the world is stunning and devastating at the same time. It has more angst than I normally read, but I am totally down for this type of push and pull, especially when Levi’s wolf gets involved! Something in me is drawn to his absolute certainty and claiming of Tasha, it’s the kind of devotion human women are drawn to…darned wolves and vamps get all the animalistic mating intensity. I will definitely be reading Part 2 and have found a new author to follow, watch, read!

4 Stars

I really enjoyed this book because of the fact that the story was original. As this is the first book in the series, I foresee it being quite interesting. It has the usual lycan and vampire rivalry but it was so much more. This book reminded me of the movie Underworld with the vampires being soldiers in a mindless war against the lycans. All her life, Tasha just wanted to be free. Prowling the rainforest at night, she could finally be herself. One fateful night, she met Levi and she was forever changed. Never in his life did Levi expect to meet someone like Tasha. They had one blissful summer together before both had to join the army. If anyone found out about them, it would be a certain death sentence.

A book filled with secrets and lies, action and drama. The author builds a solid foundation for the rest of the series. I loved the main characters and absolutely hated the bad guys which proves what a good writer Ms. Robertson is. There were moments when I found the book a little long but it’s worth pushing through. At one point Tasha did frustrate me, I’ll be honest. Levi literally changed the world fir her and she still wasn’t sure how he felt about her. Come on, wake up Tasha! I’m very excited to find a new series. I can’t wait to read the next part.

This book is a non-stop action filled read that will suck you in from page one and keep you hooked until the crazy cliffhanger ending that will leave you wanting more right now! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I scooped it up having never read CR Robertson before but I was enthralled by the cover and wanted to know more. I was completely grasped and knew that I was not disappointed I had grabbed this five star read by the time I finished chapter one. This is not your typical vamp fights Lycan Twilight spin off read. It will challenge the stereotypes you have come to build behind those for sure. I can’t say enough good things about this book and I am anxious to see what the next one in the series will bring us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This started off as a wonderfully romantic story. These two can not be together but they found a forbidden love. Kinda Romeo and Juliet style. Then this story takes a weird turn. A third party shows up and wants Tasha. This part just threw me for a loop. I really couldn’t figure out where this was going. Not sure I am a huge fan of this part. It took the story from paranormal to almost sci-fi. But it certainly is full of action, drama and some great smexy scenes. At times I didnt care for Tasha. For a vamp she is not too confident in her man. I mean he is changing the world…so at times he is a busy beaver…I mean wolf. By the end I was really rooting for her to be strong and him to not lose her.

The secondary characters..well I either loved or hated them. I did enjoy Radar and the relationship he has with Levi. As well as I wonder what that Donovan is all about. I bet he comes out to play more fully in future books.

Overall is it a different kind of paranormal. Full of characters that really get under my skin. I couldn’t help but wish them the best by the end.

OMG! This was everything I had hoped for, and more! All the stars!!!!
Forbidden Wolf is the first book in The Shadow Chronicles by C.R Robertson. I love C.R Robertson’s work- so I really couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. When it landed on my Kindle, I put aside the other book I had been reading and jumped right in. To say I loved it is an understatement. If I could give t more than 5 stars I would! I was torn between devouring every word and savouring every word by pacing myself and drawing out the experience. But the story, and characters, were just so good they pulled me into their world, keeping me glued to the pages- and all I could do was hold on tight for an unforgettable ride.
As with her other work that I have read, this has a captivating storyline and fantastic characters. This is another masterfully crafted paranormal romance, with a complex, multi-layered, and addictive storyline. The story is action-packed, with drama, danger, hidden agendas, secrets, paranormal beings, war, violence, adventure, sizzling encounters, fated mates, and high stakes. I loved Ms. Robertson’s original take on Vampire and Lycan lore, she held me spellbound, devouring her story in one sitting.
Fate played a hand in bringing Levi and Tasha together, Levi being a werewolf and Tasha being a vampire, they are sworn enemies- as vampires and Lycans have been at war for what seems like forever. They shouldn’t be drawn to each other. But fate, and their combustible chemistry have other ideas. The war threatens to rip them apart, and dangers stalks, threatening to destroy everything. Maybe the only way to survive is to work together. But Ms. Robertson doesn’t make things easy, they will be tested on every level- and what ensues makes for a completely riveting read! #mustread
I really can’t wait to get my hands on the second book, I need it STAT!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.R Robertson!

I give Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles Book 1) by C.R. Robertson, 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this book. The forbidden vampire/lycan romance has been done before, but this author puts such a fresh and interesting spin on it. Story pulled me in and kept reading until the end. Just when I thought the end was near, the author throws another curveball. I love that in my books. However, what really makes this book for me is the characters. I wasn’t sure how I felt about them at first, but as they grow and experience things, they develop into such great characters, multi-faceted and have their flaws too, but big hearts. The secondary characters are also wonderful and I hope to see more of them later in the series– both the good and bad guys.

If you enjoy paranormal adventure/romance books with great characters, this book is for you. It is the beginning of what promises to be a great series.

I really enjoyed this book. C.R. Robertson has created a vibrant world and a very good story that highlights two of my favorite paranormal species, vampires and werewolves. The story of Tasha and Levi had adventure and some twists and turns but it was an enjoyable journey to take. The story flowed nicely and I found myself unable to put it down until I finished. I am looking forward to reading more from C.R. Robertson.

This book caught me by surprise. I was like oh yet another Lycan and vampire forbidden love story. But IT was nothing as I thought. Though it does have that as a major theme to the overall story, that’s not it. There is a secret connection between the two races that they seem to be oblivious about. This book is the beginning of this series and I am looking forward to reading more of it. But in this, while being introduced to Robertson’s world you meet several characters that I assume will take center focus as each story is told. But in this one Tasha and Levi. I love their story so hard.

I loved the relationship between Levi and Tasha. There is so much action and war happening in this book it makes it hard to put down and it is one of those where you have to read it in one sitting because you just can’t put the book down.

Forbidden Wolf is the first book in The Shadow Chronicles series by CR Robertson.

This story is a paranormal romance, and I was thoroughly invested right from the start. The main characters, Tasha and Levi, are from very different worlds. They should only be acquainted as enemies, but they soon realise they have so much more. With so many obstacles to overcome, their relationship should be doomed from the start, but they are strong-willed and full of passion.
I really enjoyed this story. I thought the author did a great job on a new take on a paranormal romance, and the characters are so well written it really keeps you hooked until the end. I will definitely be reading book two!

Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles 1) by CR Robertson was a privilege to read! This has been one of my favorite reads for the year. The characters are so easy to like, love, dislike, and love again. The writing is so descriptive and vivid that i could literally imagine everything that was happening and “see” everyone.

The storyline is addicting and I could NOT put this book down! For fans of the movie Underworld- I would definitely recommend this book. It’s sexy and addicting. I plan to reread it soon and I can NOT wait to read the rest!

Enthralled from beginning to end! I love a good romance, but when you add paranormal to it, I am 100% there! I was emotionally invested in the book straight from the start. The story line is interesting, there are a few plot twists to keep you invested, and Levi is a sweet baby angel, no one can change my mind about that. The story also has a little bit of spice along with everything nice already mentioned. There is a great enemy to route against, actually more than one. The connections and relationships between several characters are also well done. Great read, needless to say I am looking forward to the next book!

Levi & Tasha are the main charcters and they couldn’t be more different. Levi is a Wolf Shifter & Tasha is a Vampire. This is a case of opposites attract and man so they have chemistry! Such a shame that they’ll be put death if anyone finds out If they’re having any kind of relationship between them. Truth is brought to the surface and survival might just depended on their “forbidden” relationship.

When two immortal enemies give into their forbidden desires, their passion puts both of their lives on the line. Levi and Tasha’s very survival hinges on remaining sworn enemies. CR Robertson takes Underworld and turns it into a new and exciting read. A tale as old as time, love, meets hate in this novel that makes you say what in the hell. A love that can be punished by death is the only type of true love. Join Tasha and Levi in their journey to prove everyone else wrong about their species. CR Robertson is a wonderful author and hasn’t disappointed with this great first novel in a wonderful series.

I’m excited that I read this book. It gave me Underworld vibes. At first I thought At first I thought Tasha was going to be this ultimate bad girl but she’s a normal adult who isn’t sure of herself. She’s just a vampire that wants to be free. I thought they were going to be teenagers with how the story first flowed but we got some major control issues going on with leadership. The war stupid they didn’t even know why they were fighting. Those creatures were gross the visual the author painting I did not need. I really enjoyed this story though. Tasha became annoying mid book. She has so much potential but it’s like she was unable to believe in herself. She was ready to give up too many times. Levi that man! I wish there was someone out willing to love me as hard as Levi did Tasha. To possess just a little of his affection and devotion. Definitely worth the read .

A forbidden romance is sparked between enemy species – wolf and vampire! Each is placed into a world of war, as soldiers, who need to fight to get back to each other. The couple’s passionate connection is what will hopefully lead them towards salvation. The author did a good job of bringing a different take on an old premise. From the very beginning the author jumps right into the story; you never felt that it was slow moving! I look forward to the future books in this series!

In this paranormal war between species, Levi and Tasha have to work together against hate and stereotypes to try to build their relationship. But those aren’t the biggest threat to their forbidden passion.

To be completely honest, I’ve never been a fan of first person writing, or series romances that aren’t stand alone novels. That said, first person occasionally works, and this was one of those times. And this book can certainly stand alone if the reader isn’t interested in reading the next challenge held in store for our couple.

Suffice to say I was certainly drawn into their world and I’m sure most will absolutely want to know what happens next. Vampires, werewolves, and an extra dash of intrigue kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning to find out how Levi and Tasha were going to meet all their challenges and still manage to build a partnership that could last in this evolving paranormal world.

C.R Robertson did a well job in portraying a vivid image so the reader could envision the book, playing just as a movie did. This book is not for the kids 12 and under as there are sexual depictions through the entirety of it. I despised Tasha’s coven leader but that is nothing to do with the author in themselves, it added to the story and the reasoning behind the need of Levi and Tasha’s bonding. The hate, the neediness, the pure emotional turmoil both characters went through as well as the hidden lies that lay for centuries between them. Will they come together, or will the war and world rip them apart? It is your choice to read this fantastic book and find out.

A forbidden love, war, rivals, a struggle for power…

Tasha is a vampire and Levi is a Lycan. When they meet and form an unbreakable bond, it could bring both of their deaths.

They don’t understand the bond that is holding them together but wow does Levi go above and beyond fighting for what is his!

From the ultimate enemies to lovers trope, character development & the characters themselves is phenomenal! With the romance between Wolf-Shifter Levi and vampire Tasha, who have forever been immortal enemies. The steaminess factor. There are numerous books written similarly – but none to this degree. The twists & the turns. Coming together for impending damage and danger to all? What more could you ask for. The plot line was continued and the romance, stayed prominent but you also didn’t lose the plot line within. I read this book in less than 24 hours – and I enjoyed every second of this! I cannot wait for the rest of the series. I’m invested

Wow. C.R. Robertson did an amazing job with this one. This book makes you feel like you are living their lives right along with them. Tasha was raised to be a soldier and nothing more, but her gifts allowed her to be different from the start. Levi stayed our of the spotlight and preferred a quiet background life. Their meeting changed everything for both of them – indefinitely. We have all read countless books about lycans and vampires being against each other, at war for centuries, battling and falling in love against all odds – but nothing like this. I was hooked from page one and I was sad when it ended. I swear I could have soaked in so much extra detail if it had been given. I look forward to every single page that continues this story.
