Ms. Rose penned an intriguing mystery that dances within paranormal sects as a mysterious security detail is tasked to protect the “Blood Opal” on display for one night only- a night that ends in disaster for Tamaska, the event organizer, and Kodiak, the head of security. The first in a series (of hopefully many), Tamaska and Kodiak cross path multiple times while on the search for the Blood Opal, Tamaska to save her career, Kodiak to save his pack. Vampires, Werewolves and a lot of sexual tension fill this page turner with excitement, intrigue and anticipation of what’s to come in the next installment of the Protector Wolf Shifter Series.

Book 1 of this series introduces the main heroine of this series, Tamaska. Work is her life and she has a big event coming up that requires a last minute change in security. This is when she meets the abrasive and prickly head of security, Kodiak with Shadow Protection. He’s a tall drink of water that immediately gets on her bad side. Yet, there’s something about him that she cannot ignore. The attraction is instant but she tries to ignore it since she has to focus on this big event. Things quickly go wrong and the Blood Opal is mysteriously wrong. Now her job is on the line. She’s still on the fence if Kodiak had anything to do with it even if he vehemently denies it. She needs to find the Opal, save her job, and shake off this pull she feels every time she looks at the handsome security guy. Who can she trust? How can she find the Opal? Can her friend Tahla help without getting into danger?
This book is a romantic mystery that will have you feeling all while falling for the characters.

This is the first book I have read from this author and wow she has me hooked. I love a good paranormal romance story and this book exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book of the new protector wolf shifter series and let me say I can’t wait to see who she will write about next.
Tamaska loves her job and the people that she meets. She is put in charge of one of the most important jobs of her life and it was stolen. Tamaska hired Kodiak and his crew to watch over the opal for the night. She has no idea who could have taken the opal without being seen. Tamaska is about to learn that Kodiak and the others are keeping a secret but would it be worse if she knew? Will Tamaska find the opal or will it be too late and the world as she knows it will end?

Shadow Wolf by Lilliana Rose is the first book in her new Protector Wolf Shifter Series. It is the beginning of the love story between Tamaska and Kodiak. Human Tamaska hires Shadow Protection to help guard the auction of a rare and magnificent Blood opal. Little does she know that the detail is made up of Wolf shifters led by the handsome Kodiak. The action begins quickly as local vampires steal the jewel and emotions rise. There are some steamy scenes and plenty of intrigue. It did end fairly abruptly so be ready to clear some reading time when the second book becomes available.

Shadow Wolf brings you into the tale of a human and a shifter, with the human as always being naive. This story keeps you reading by being on the brink of finding out what is so important about Tamaska. A good story with good r rated scenes. The cliffhanger at the end begs you to get the next book to keep reading the series, which is what I plan to do.

Tamaska hires Kodiak to protect her from vampires that want her dead. They have a kind of love-hate relationship going, even if they are actually secretly in love. Great book.

Shadow Wolf (Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 1) by Lilliana Rose, 4 out of 5 Stars Shadow Wolf is the first installment of the Wolf Shifter Series. This is a great book. This paranormal romance read gives us the forbidden love story that is Tamaska and Kodiak. Vampires are after Tamaska, Tamaska doesn’t trust Kodiak and she doesn’t want him around. She doesn’t understand that Kodiak is compelled to protect her. The bond forming between them is making it impossible to leave her alone. The problem? Kodiak is a shifter, and Tamaska is a human, a human who does not know shifters, vampires and other such paranormal worldly things exist. Kodiak is stuck between choosing the newly forming bond, and his pack. Tamaska has to learn to trust a new world, a new bond and maybe, she will get out of this alive. Lovers of paranormal, romance, and mystery will love this new series. 4 out of 5 stars.

This was a great start to this paranormal romance series! Tamaska is a no nonsense girl that just wants to succeed and have everything go well at her event. Kodiak was definitely not what she was expecting when she hired security for the event. She is unaware of the world around her that has vampires and shifters. So when she is thrust into that world she is not sure who she can trust. Or why Kodiak feels he has to protect her when the leader of the vampires sets his sites on her. As the secrets build, so does the momentum of the story. This one will leave you on a cliffhanger needing to know what happens next in the series!

Tamaska has a mission for her job. That is to make an auction go smoothly. Well, she thought it would till she met Kodiak. The first meetings are always important, and this one was already spicy between them. The way the relationship between them started and bloomed in this book was fun to read. There’s just enough drama to keep you going to want to read the next book!

Tamaska meets Kodiak when she hires him to work as security for an important event that she has put together where a priceless jewel is to be auctioned off. She is immediately attracted to him but refuses to allow herself to feel anything towards him. After all, not only is he staff that has been hired to work the event, but she also does not believe in one-night stands. Kodiak also feels attracted to Tamaska but tries to deny it. Not only is she a human, and he hates all humans, but he must maintain focus on the job he was hired to do.
When the priceless jewel is stolen from under their noses it is up to Kodiak to find it. He knows that it has to be the work of the vampires and sets out to get the jewel back. Tamaska blames Kodiak for the theft and wants nothing to do with him. She is determined to find the jewel and bring it back because she does not want to lose her job or her reputation. What Tamaska is unaware of is that the world she is venturing into is dangerous and that the vampires want to capture her. Kodiak must protect her, but Tamaska refuses his protection because she does not trust him.
Kodiak knows that he is the only one who can protect Tamaska from being killed by the vampires. An event that could wreak destruction and death on the world. He approaches the alpha of his pack and requests his permission but is told that he must not allow himself to be distracted by a human. Kodiak must now choose between his pack and the woman he is finding himself attracted to and feels compelled to protect.
This book was a great read with wonderful characters and a great storyline. It had action, suspense, murder, passion, vampires, wolves, and shapeshifting. I loved the shapeshifting aspect of this book and the love-hate thing that Tamaska and Kodiak had going on between them. It was obvious from the very first look between them that they were equally attracted to one another. Yet, both were allowing their pride to deny them to really act on their feelings. Tamaska is a strong-willed, stubborn, hardworking, and independent woman who is used to doing things on her own. She does not feel that she needs protection and feels that she can do everything on her own. Kodiak is not used to feeling like he should protect anyone, especially a human. He finds Tamaska bossy and pig-headed but still feels drawn to help her. Neither Tamaska nor Kodiak are used to needing another person to rely on and are used to doing things on their own, yet the attraction between them is undeniable.

This is the first book in the Protector Wolf Series and i can’t wait to read more. The author has a great mixture of paranormal adventure and danger as well as a forbidden romance which gets your heart and pulse racing. I’m a huge fan of books about shifters and vampires so I was sold right from the beginning.
Tamaska is human. Her only goal in life is to succeed at what she does enough to set up her own business as an event planner. She has no idea about the dangers or supernatural beings that live alongside her. That is until one that that was supposed to change her life in a good way ends up changing it in a way she never imagined.
She hires some people to protect the rare gem she is auctioning off the Blood Opal. What she doesn’t realise is the people she hired are shifters. She immediately has a distrust for the leader Kodiak but she doesn’t know why. When the jewel goes missing she thinks it was him but how wrong she is. Kodiak hates humans. Can’t stand them. The only reason he took this job is to earn money to provide for his pack. So what happens when he starts reacting to a female human in a way that makes him want to protect her? Why is he getting these feelings towards her and what does it mean? When he goes to her aid and takes his eye off the thing he was suppose to be protecting they now have to work together to find and reclaim the missing item. Who stole the Opal? Why do they want it? Can Kodiak and Tamaska trust each other to work together? And what is the strange feelings that keep bubbling up between then despite both of them trying to ignore and deny them?
I loved this gripping story and can’t wait to see how the rest of the series unfolds.

Tamaska is a bright event planner about to have her big break when she holds an event to auction off the Blood opal… but it’s not just the humans who are interested in it Kodiak is a shifter and a good one, looking soon to challenge and take an Alpha role but still proving himself for the moment takes on the job protecting the Blood opal as security gig to make money and blend in with the humans. Tamaska and Kodiak are pure fire when they come together but thats the only part that makes sense. There are clearly many secrets being kept from everyone and no one has the whole story. This is a great series starter. I’m very interested to find out what Tamaskas history is I am sure there is a lot more than meets the eye with every one of these characters

Shadow Wolf is the first book in this paranormal romance Protector Wolf Shifter Series. It is a forbidden love story that will intrigue you and at times sets your heart pumping. Lilliana Rose is a new author for me, so I was excited to sample her work. I did enjoy the story, but I came away with a few unanswered questions, but it is the first book so hopefully everything will be explained in the next book. Tamaska is about to find out that there are things that go bang in the night. To find out there is a dark unknown world she never knew existed. Her world hides this harsh reality that few ever learn about. Kodiak is a wolf shifter was hired for protection to work alongside a human. Humans he detests. That is until he meets someone who changes his mind and sets is protective instincts on high. But can he keep her safe while looking for the one thing he is supposed to protect? I won’t share any spoilers but will say within this urban fantasy world is vampires and shifters so you can’t really go wrong. Enjoy.

Better than Twilight, I found this story to be more exciting. Forbidden love between Kodiak and Tamaska. From the moment they met at the Opal event, the chemistry was palpable. It kept growing. When you’re a wolf like Kodiak, you can be torn because you should listen to your pack leader, even if he disagrees, but will he? This is an exciting adventure that had me from the start. I was intrigued and had to keep going to see what happened next. The characters are well written and fit right into the story perfectly. It all flowed together so well. This is a new author to me and I so look forward to reading more from her. Great job! If you love paranormal, you definitely should read this.
