My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was extremely surprised over this book. I usually don’t do the romance books but this one being supernatural I figured id give it shot. And this book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I couldn’t read it fast enough to know what was going to happen next. The book was well written and took a hold of me right away, the writing of this book was so well described that it really felt like I was standing there listening in on everything that was happening. This book was filed with drama, chemistry, action, suspense, murder, supernatural beings, and so much more. Tamaska is and independent woman who is strong-willed, stubborn, hardworking, and does what she wants and doesn’t listen to anyone. Which I totally related with her the most. Kodiak was hired to protect her and really doesn’t want to and is stubborn about it too. The love hate relationship these two have was very interesting to read, because we all know they liked each other but felt the need to not show it. this book was extremely good, and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Lilliana Rose amazing author who brought naive girl Tamaska into doing her own thing in life and getting into trouble with both vampires and wolves.
I love the fact that Kodiak knows what is going on with the vampires but does not know why they want a human Tamaska but his bond to Tamaska is deep that he was willing to disobey his pack for a love for a human.
See Tamaska, I did not like it so much because at first, I wanted to slap her crazy. She is the type of human that wants to do everything on her own by seeking the supernatural, she knew what was going on but was denied help from Kodiak but the bond is stronger than hers.
I love the characters and the world that Lilliana Rose made for it. An amazing book can’t wait for the Second book.

So after reading the third book.I wanted to come back to read the first. And I’m not disappointed🥰 I got to really see how the characters got to develop from this to the third. It’s funny how She hated dogs and he hated humans.🤣🤣🤣 but ended up together. Opposite subtract, right? Tamaska started out way more headstrong. Even though The author touched on the blood opal, it’s still a mystery to me. So that means on to the next book. I can’t wait to see what happens because this one ends on a cliffhanger.
I recommend reading even though it’s slow-paced it’s still great.

Shadow Wolf is a new series written by an author that is new to me. Tamaska is a marketing event planner hoping to make new connections and start her own business. She meets Kodiak when he shows up with his crew to guard the Blood Opal. Kodiak and Tamaska both experience a strong connection to each other. What she doesn’t realize is that there are dangers surrounding her. Danger from Vampires and shape shifters. The question is, why do the vampires want the Blood Opal?
The story is well written and the world building helped to feel connected to the story.

Shadow Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 1)Shadow Wolf by Lilliana Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series.

It is in dual POV of the two main characters, Tamaska and Kodiak.

Tamaska is a woman who is on the path to success. She is an event coordinator, and the auction of the Blood Opal may be her ticket to her own company.

Kodiak is the beta in the Wolf Shifter Pack. The pack is having to learn how to adapt to modern times. They have created the Shadow Protection company to earn an income as security. In addition to their modern job, they are meant to protect all humans. Everything had been smooth with the vampires, or was it all a smoke screen?

Kodiak and his team were last-minute security added to Tamaska’s event. Immediately, they had a strong distaste for each other, but neither could deny the immense attraction. During the event, Kodiak notices the presence of vampires. While his sole duty was to stand guard at the glass case, he left his post for a mere second in order to save Tamaska, who was drugged by a vampire.

Will they get the blood opal back? Is it even possible for a relationship to blossom between Kodiak and Tamaska? One is a wolf shifter who hates humans, and the other is a human who hates dogs.

What is so special about the blood opal that makes everyone want it so badly?

I love the storyline and plot. It is a wonderful mystery of who is lying, who is on whose side, and ultimately what is everyone’s motives. The heated scenes with Tamaska and Kodiak are amazing.

With saying all of that, I strongly dislike ALL of the characters…. they are all insanely immature and slightly annoying. I completely understand the push/pull dynamic with Tamaska and Kodiak, but when it is explaining their thoughts, they are very whiny and sometimes don’t even make any sense. The entire Shifter pack I dislike as well. It seems that literally none of them care for each other.

I will continue to read the next book because of the storyline, and I hope the characters get better along the way.

What I liked most about this book was that amongst the challenges both within themselves and those they’ve come up against, they were able to find love in the chaos. It was a good read for a quiet day. I would recommend it to those who love reading about shifters and mystery. I enjoyed reading this book.

Shadow wolf was exactly what I would expect from a supernatural story. You get shapeshifters, vampires, and a human at the center of it all. Plus a bit of romance. There’s an air of mystery with this story and at the end you definitely have a lot more questions. Which is great because I prefer reading series. This is the first book I’ve come across by this author and I’m excited to read others.

This is first by Lillian Rose and it was a shapeshifter book I have read in a while. Tamaska and Kodiak is love at first site. Kodiak is there to protect her and the gem, but can he do both? The book was a little slow at first but it did pick up. I was scared that it was going to be like Twilight, but it turned out different. I am ready to keep reading this author to see where she ends up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Right off the bat I was intrigued by the instant connection between Tamaska and Kodiak, despite both of them fighting the attraction. I had not read any other books by the author, but I greatly enjoyed the world she created with shifters, vampires, and humans. I loved how well written the characters were and how well they worked together. Tamaska was such a wonderful female main character and I loved that she was so strong, Kodiak was such a sexy shifter and his abilities made him a great leading male. The author did a great job of keeping me in suspense of what was happening and I couldn’t put the book down. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and see where the series goes.

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is my first book by this author and I loved it and the cover of the book is stunning. I am already anxiously anticipating book 2!! This story has drama, shifters, vampires, wolves and romance and I loved the names of the 2 main characters, Kodiak and Tamaska.

Tamaska is the lead whom has a Blood Opal up for bid and this may make or break on keeping her job. She has every detail planned out for this auction to happen, including the highly recommended security detail, but when plans don’t go accordingly, the Blood Opal disappears.

Kodiak is a shifter and part of the security detail that Tamaska hires to protect the Blood Opal. He stops at nothing to try to make things right when the Blood Opal goes missing on his watch and comes under much scrutiny, especially in the eyes of Tamaska. When Kodiak and his team find out that vampires might be the cause of the disappearance of this opal, it is a race against time to find it.

Tamaska and Kodiak butt heads at the beginning but it turns into this deep connection, all Kodiak wants to do is find this opal and also protect Tamaska. The Vampires are dangers and hold the key to the opal and they also have Tamaska on their menu. Will Kodiak protect Tamaska when she needs it the most? Will Tamaska find out what Kodiak truly is outside of being security detail? Will Kodiak and Tamaska find the Blood Opal so it does not stay in the wrong hands?

This story is great I really enjoyed the spark between Tamaska and Kodiak and both their character growth. I am so looking forward to book 2 to see what happens next!!

A good start
The first book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series and we meet wolf shifter Kodiak and human Tamaska. It is a fast paced, dual POV story with a mix of action, romance, sexy times, paranormal, mystery and drama. The wolf/vampire aspect is well done. It ends on a cliffhanger and the reader is literally left hanging with unanswered questions leading into book 2. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tamaska loves her job. That is until it all went down the toilet when she was hired to coordinate an event that showed off the priceless Blood Opal. Everything was going wrong. She ended up hiring a security team last minute that came highly recommended, but still had her doubts. The head of the team, Kodiak, was a stubborn and commanding man which instantly set Tamaska off because she was just as stubborn and commanding.

Instantly there was tension between the two so when the Blood Opal disappeared, Tamaska blamed Kodiak immediately.

Meanwhile, Kodiak is a wolf shifter and realizes instantly that something more sinister is at play. It appears that the vampires are behind the theft, they have also taken a special interest in Tamaska. She decides to try to find the Blood Opal herself causing more trouble. Kodiak is trying to keep her safe from a world she knows nothing about. However, his Alpha forbade him from protecting her. He thinks that they should just focus on the vampires. Kodiak wants to do both. He is oddly attracted to Tamaska and has no idea why. Will he be able to keep her safe while keeping her oblivious to the supernatural world right under her nose?

This book was very exciting. The book starts off with a bang and never has a dull moment. I loved both characters, even though they were very similar personality wise, they were also so different and seemingly perfect for each other. The book has lots of action and some steamy scenes as well. The book ends with a lot more to come. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

Tamaska is an event planner and tonight she has organised the auction of the Blood Opal. A last minute change in security has her uptight and on edge. The priceless Blood Opal sale will be the launching point of her career.

Kodiak is the Beta of a shifter pack of wolves. These wolves have worked extremely hard to control the wolf inside and have succeeded to this point. Kodiak is the head of security on duty tonight for the Blood Opal with 5 of his shifter team.

This was a quick read. To see how the vampires come into play in the story, please continue reading.

If you like a story about enemies to lovers, romance with a twist.. This book is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tamaska is a woman with a lot on her plate and the determination to succeed, as well as a clear idea of her path in life, however, when her latest venture goes terribly wrong, she is at a loss of what to do. Kodiak is a man with talent, not to mention that he is a wolf shifter and the second in command, but he has eyes on the top spot, however, when his latest job goes south, he is determined to make things right.

When Tamaska and Kodiak lock eyes the first time they meet, they can feel something smouldering between them, but they are more focussed on work than each other, no matter how hard it is to do, but when the unexpected happens, this connection they feel causes Tamaska to blame Kodiak for how things went down, but he knows he is innocent and is determined to find out the root cause of the failure. Tamaska is also determined to get answers, but when she follows a lead, she doesn’t realise the danger she is in, or that Kodiak will be in the same place at the same time and when one thing leads to another, they cannot deny their attraction any longer, but this isn’t the only dangerous territory they encounter, Kodiak is determined to protect Tamaska, even if she doesn’t want him to.

As Kodiak continues to investigate and finds out that the vampires are involved and that they are making moves which are unusual to their previous patterns and Tamaska is slap bang in the middle of it all, but when he reports what is happening to his alpha, he is given orders he doesn’t agree with and now knowing that he has to make a choice between Tamaska and his pack, what will he do and how will she react to that decision? This is a fast paced urban fantasy where difficult choices have to be made and the consequences dealt with no matter the costs and this makes it a steamy and action packed start to this series.

This book was really great. I love a good shifter book. The head vampire wants Tamaska. Kodiak must protect her, even though his alpha denies him this right. She doesn’t trust him after, he didn’t protect the opal from being taken. There is a connection between the two. Will they be able to settle their differences and Kodiak be able to protect her? I am ready to read the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a paranormal romance novel which contains a crime leading to a dangerous adventure. I love these types of novels as I love being able to get lost in a well-constructed world surrounded by fantasy creatures. This book did not disappoint me, it met my expectations!

From the very beginning the story is set up vey well. It is clear what Tamaska’s priorities are her aspirations and her goal at the event. You get a hint of what’s to come at the mention of the importance of the Blood Opal.
The author’s descriptive writing continues throughout the book creating vivid imagery and the characters are written equally as well, if not better.

Tamaska and Kodiak are both strong individuals who are stubborn and conflicted which on occasion had me shaking my kindle in frustration as I imagined I was knocking some sense into them.
I found myself really enjoying the character of Kodiak, his protective instincts and his character development (from hating all humans to not) was enjoyable and had my love for him growing as the story progressed; however I can’t say the same for Tamaska. While I loved that she seems to know what she wants from life and is her own person, I didn’t like her attitude. She did not seem to take everything into consideration before making accusations or insisting things be done her way.
Even with this viewpoint of Tamaska, her personality does add to the drama of the storyline, and my love for Kodiak may be making me a little bias against her; but ultimately, I hope she has some further character development in the next book as Kodiak deserves better.

I love paranormal romances involving shifters. As this is a new author to me, I was excited to read this book. Kodiak is a wolf shifter who must protect Tamaska. The problem is that she doesn’t want his protection. She is attracted to him but is fighting it all the time. She is stubborn and hardheaded. He must protect her against the vampires whom she knows nothing about. His alpha forbids him from going anywhere near her claiming that there are more important matters to tend to. Kodiak can’t explain his attraction towards her especially because she is a human. Be it as it may, he decides to risk everything for her.

This is a great start to what I believe will be a fantastic series. The foundation was built beautifully with just enough information, drama and intrigue to keep you interested in finding out more. I love the chemistry between the two main characters. They fit perfectly together. There is obviously a lot more going on and I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds.

This is like a 3 & 1/2 for me. I like the idea of the storyline. We follow Tamaska who is being hunted by Vampires over an important necklace that gets stolen. Enter Kodiak the shifter who tries to protect her against his Alpha’s wishes. She’s pretty rude and overly difficult through most of the book despite understanding the situation she’s in. There wasn’t much character development for her, I hope she has some in the next book. All in all the storyline is an intriguing one, the main character is just a little annoying. I hope Kodiak becomes Alpha somehow and Tamaska finally stops being a brat.

Humans, Shifters and Vampires was all I needed to know in order to pick up this book and start reading and I am so glad that I did. This is the first book of this new series and it will leave you with a lot of questions unanswered at the end BUT this will definitely keep you intrigued and I am sure not so patiently waiting for the next book. I know I will be more than happy to return to this storyline and cast of characters because I need to know more! I have to say I was hooked and intrigued with Kodiak right from the very start. There was just something that drew me to this character while it took me a long time to come around to Tamaska. I still have mixed feelings about her but I am sure as this series continues and we learn more that I will grow to understand her more. This is also a new author for me and I am now officially a fan and looking forward to more.

Let me start out saying if you don’t enjoy stories ending on cliffhangers, this one is not for you. This is both the first is a series and the first book by lilliana Rose. There is a bit of suspense, mystery, and romance. We have Tamaska, a human who is hired to organize the sale of the Blood Opal. It’s stolen before this happens; however, Kodiak, a member of the security team, knows it was the vampires who are responsible for the theft. His werewolf pack runs the security company hired by Tamaska, and now they must get the gem back. Will Tamaska find out the whole truth? How will she handle it? Will she choose a side? Can Tamaska and Kodiak overcome their differences?

While I really do not enjoy stories that are true cliffhangers, I didn’t realize this one was until I was too invested. I really enjoyed the authors writing style and can’t wait yo see how she has this story play out.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Lilliana Rose, and I was excitedly surprised at how quickly I was entranced. The synopsis grabbed my interest as I am a big Twilight fan so I wanted to give it a chance, only to be blown away. Tamaska Lane is an event planner with big career goals, that depend on tonight and the Blood Opal sale being a success. Kodiak Day is the Beta of the Shadow Pack; the wolf shifters have gotten into security to earn funds to live and provide for their pack.
The moment Tamaska and Kodiak first see each other it is like an invisible tether is linking them together. Each of them fighting the magnetic pull as they try to do their jobs. In an instant everything changes and becomes more complicated, Kodiak gets a whiff of a vampire blood scent. Suddenly on high alert and looking for the source he and his team are more interested in the Blood Opal. For years the shifters and the vampires have had a treaty, they each stick to their own boundaries and don’t cross so why are they suddenly on shifter lands now. After speaking with a stranger Tamaska finds herself off kilter, and her mind a haze with details slipping her mind about him. The lights flicker once, twice and they are plunged into darkness. When the lights finally come back on the Blood Opal is gone and chaos begins, Tamaska determined to blame the “hot guard” that was more concerned with her safety than staying next to the opal. Being a last minute hire for the job Kodiak is confused about the importance of the Blood Opal, and why the vampires would want it. He is also angry at the fact his mind is drawn to a human, when he is known for his hatred of humans. Both Tamaska and Kodiak have one goal, to find out who stole the opal and return it. Kodiak wants to find it to prove his innocence and prove his competence to Tamaska. Tamaska wants to find the opal to secure her job and make things up to her boss Carlene for losing it in the first place though it couldn’t have been expected.
Why do the vampires want the Blood Opal? Will Tamaska and Kodiak succeed in finding the precious gem? How will their magnetic pull affect the outcome? The world, the characters, the plot everything about this book pulls you in leading you deeper into the world of the author determined to find answers. I couldn’t put it down and sometimes found myself trying to guess what or who the thief was. I can’t wait to learn more about Tamaska and Kodiak in the next book in the series Marked Wolf, May 11th, 2023.

This is the first book in a new series and for me this seemed to be setting the scene of what is to come. The story is a slow build one, not overly fast paced but easy to enjoy. I liked reading about the characters for the most part however I found the female mc to be a bit too stubborn and difficult at times. However, she worked well with Kodiak and the connected the story quite well. I am looking forward to having some questions answered in the next books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shadow Wolf is the first book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series. Tamaska has hired wolf shifter Kodiak and his pack as security for an event she’s running. She’s unimpressed from the start, when Kodiak turns up as the event is about to start and refuses to follow her directions. She’s even less impressed when he fails to prevent the theft of the precious opal he’s been hired to protect.

Shadow Wolf introduces us to an intriguing world where vampires and wolf shifters live in a precarious truce alongside oblivious humans. They are powerful but not overpowered – see, for example, the wolf shifters needing to pick up work in security to be able to support themselves financially. Tamaska is oblivious to this world but has been thrown into it whether she likes it or not.

This book gets four stars from me. It would appeal to fans of paranormal romance, particularly werewolf/shifter romance. The next book in the series, which continues Tamaska and Kodiak’s story, is due out in a few months – I’m looking forward to seeing how their story develops!

I really enjoyed this book. The drama revolving around this single opal sets off a chain of crazy and dangerous happenings to Tamaska. At first Tamaska bothered me, her personality irritated me, she seemed to think she knew what was best in every instance but she doesn’t. I can understand her wanting to do her very best at her job, but Kodiak and his team also have a job to do, and acting like she knew how to do his job better than him irked me. She has a wonderful friend in Tahla because, even Tahla knew the dangers of going to the Blood Moon Nightclub and begged Tamaska not to go and of course, danger. I like Kodaik’s character, he is strong, knows what he wants and doesn’t take anything from anyone. He goes out of his way to protect Tamaska knowing his alpha is against it, he puts his life, and his team on the line for her time after time and she is stuck in her own head, she has bad tunnel vision about this stupid stone. I can’t wait to see what comes next for these two. Kodiak’s alpha Olcan seems really suspect and so does Tamaska’s assistant Cory. This was a very well developed story and I was immediately captivated.

Oh forbidden love tell me thy ways. I enjoyed the paranormal aspects but for me the whole forbidden love thing was quite trite. It seems as if it’s the same story just in another paranormal setting. I would have loved more details that made this story unique and persuasive. Our heroine needed a more detailed backstory and more tenacity when choosing between things.

Shadow Wolf is about a potential forbidden romance. Tamaska is a human that is dead set on furthering her career, she is extremely headstrong. When the Blood Opal (a priceless gem) is stolen she will do anything to find it and save her career. Kodiak is a wolf shifter that was hired with his team to protect the Blood Opal but feels a responsibility to protect Tamaska from the hidden magical world. The sexy scenes are spicy and worth the read alone. It ends on a major cliffhanger so be prepared to buy the next book!
