Wolfbane by Celia Hart is the first of three books in the Wolfbane series. Jasmine is a werewolf who has been raised in a very religious society with strict parents who believe you should only ever have a relationship with your fated mate. She has never been one to break the rules or make waves. Until the mysterious Alpha Blake returns from Siberia where he has been attending college since the death of his mate. But just when Jasmine is fighting all her urges to stay away from the sexy alpha. She finds her true mate. Beta Luke and none other then her best friend Lucy’s long-time boyfriend. What will Jasmine do and how will she handle all this drama on top of an impending war. This book had me absolutely hooked from the fist page and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. 4 out 5 Stars!

I am so happy that I stumbled on this amazing author, Celia Hart, and this wonderful book. These characters are so compelling and well written that I felt like I was completely in the story with them!
Jasmine has always been the good girl who listens to her controlling parents, but she starts to rebel when she meets Blake, the extremely yummy soon to be alpha of her wolf pack. Though they aren’t destined mates, they feel comfortable around each other and have a mutual attraction between them. Will Jasmine give into her desires and be with Blake until her destined mate appears or will she hold strong to her convictions? What will happen when she finally meets her mate? Will Jasmine have the picture perfect mated relationship she’s dreamed of or will chaos reign, especially since WAR may be on the horizon for her pack? You should pick this book up and read it to find out, as for me I’m off to get the next books in this series.

Wolfbane is an interesting story with a twist. The main character Jasmine is a well-trained religious young werewolf who has to be perfect for her father and mother. She has to get straight A’s and nothing less and keep herself pure for her mate. Yet she finds herself tempted with the young new Alpha and has a hard time understanding the rules of the temple and the moon goddess. Will she be able to withstand the temptations? That is what this book that Celia Hart has written is all about. It leaves you wanting more and is erotic, a tear-jerker, a page-turner that is tragic, twisted and steamy. It is a series that you will want to start and never want to put down plus you will feel as though you are the characters that are being portrayed in the storyline.

Jasmine is a young woman with a very strict lifestyle, she lives in a very religious community and her parents have very stringent beliefs too and Jasmine has always followed the rules. The main rule is to save herself for her fated mate, she isn’t meant to even be around males in the community and for a long time she never questioned this and the nearest she came to breaking the rules was her first crush.
Blake is the son of the alpha in their pack, his life has not been the easiest and he thinks everything will look up when he finds his mate and for a while it did, until their beloved deity decided that his happiness couldn’t last and took his mate from him. The devastation he felt was almost unbearable and when the opportunity came to move away from where he saw her everywhere, he took it, but now he is returning to the pack to take the role of alpha.
Luke is the son of the pack beta and although he knows the rules, he has flaunted one and now is in over his head, they are all told to wait for their mate, but he didn’t listen and now after spending two years away from the pack on a mission, he has come back only to find out who his mate is, and this is where complications begin.
As Jasmine develops an illicit friendship, she is overcome with new feelings of rebellion and wanting to break the rules she has stuck to like glue up until now, but she still wants to wait for her mate as well, but when he does, it is the one person who she feared most. Blake meanwhile is torn between his duty and the shy girl who he cannot help but open up to and get out of his head and Luke is wavering between a choice which will hurt someone, but who will it be?
This is a spicy paranormal romance in which twisted up feelings are unravelled, and choices made amid turmoil and danger, but what choices are made is a mystery you will have to read to the end to find out.

An enjoyable and engaging paranormal romance which kept me hooked throughout. The rules say that as a wolf shifter you should wait for the Moon Goddess to grant you your mate, which Jasmine who always follows the rules does, so no flirting and no dating. But then she meets the mysterious future alpha who is off limits but she’s drawn to him, until her first crush reappears and suddenly she’s torn between two werewolves. The complicated relationships between Jasmine and Blake and Jasmine and Luke as well as best friend Lucy makes for a storyline full of drama, angst, romance and sizzling chemistry. I loved the characters and the dynamics between them and how certain relationships changed and developed throughout the story, and the chemistry sizzled off the page. The setting came alive through the descriptive narrative and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. I was pleased there was no cliffhanger ending and I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is the first book in the Wolfbane series. It is a paranormal romance which has twists and turns, fated mates, hot sexy alpha and beta werewolves and one girl torn between the two. This story was a fast paced read and had characters you will love and also hate. It is a story of finding your fated mate but also a story of friendships and how they can go from positive to negative and toxic. We have four main characters in this story and each on is unique. Firstly we have Jasmine. She is a firm believer of following the rules set out by her pack and her parents and vows to keep herself for her mate alone that is until temptation is placed in her way in the shape of the new Alpha Blake.
Blake had it all including his mate until she was taken away from him. He now lives life on his terms and is determined to not let another woman close until he meets Jasmine. Something about her draws him to her and even though he knows she isn’t his mate it doesn’t mean he can stop the attraction he feels towards her.
Then we have Luke and Lucy. Lucy is Jasmine’s best friend and unlike Jasmine she doesn’t want to wait for her fated mate. She wants to choose her mate and she chooses Luke. Luke knows that Lucy isn’t his mate but is happy to go along with it. That is until he finally meets his mate Jasmine. The lengths Lucy goes to destroy any chance of Luke and Jamaine being together really made me dislike her. She acts like a child who can’t get her own way. Saying that Luke was just as bad thinking with another part of his body instead of his head which leads to problems with Jasmine.
Through all this story my heart goes out to Jasmine and Blake. All Jasmine wanted was to find her mate and for him to have saved himself for her like she has for him and it breaks her heart when she realises who her mate is. My Heart also broke for Blake. As he got closer to Jasmine his feelings towards her start to change from friendship to something more but with the arrival of her mate he has to face losing someone he cared about again.
This was a gripping story that I couldn’t put down. The author’s writing was great to have 4 characters and to leave me with such strong emotions about each character is unique for me as a reader. I can’t wait to see what else this series brings.

This book has everything packed into it. It is an amazing start of a series. This book is a quick read because it sucks you into the characters and the plot. It will have you ignoring what you need to be doing in order to continue reading to see what happens. The character growth is spot on and it doesn’t feel like it is rushed or dragged out. The author gives background information, this allows the reader to have a more complex understanding of the story and the characters. It is written in multiple person point of view, which I love because I feel like it gives you more depth and better understanding why something is happening. The inner turmoil that is presented relatable when dealing with making the right or wrong decisions. Everyone has been there where they wonder if following what someone is telling you to do or your own gut is going to be beneficial. This book has moments of suspense, intrigue, steam, love, and amazing characters with great personalities. This is a very strong beginning of a series book and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. The length of the book is actually pretty long but it is a fast paced series and it didn’t take much time at all to read it. Reviewed by: @bbohls

This was a fantastic start to this series with a great mix of characters and an interesting storyline. Some characters I loved, some I wanted to reach through my I pad screen and forrid slap them and others I just plain thought were selfish brats who I hated. I think the fact that these characters brought out these emotions in me shows what a wonderful author Ms Hart is! She really brought the pack to life for me. So much so that as soon as I finished reading this book I brought the next two! I can’t wait to get reading!!

This was an amazing book! I loved that you never know what to expect, there are so many surprises on every page, and it was exciting. I love that the characters are so dynamic, and each has their own uniqueness about them. I loved getting to know Jasmine, and seeing how completely opposite her best friend, Lucy, is from her. Jasmine is our main character who begins this story as the werewolf who lives her life as close to the rules set by her parents, as she possibly can, following strict religious beliefs that had been taught her whole life until she meets the soon-to-be alpha werewolf, Blake. He is your typical bad boy, conceited, lady’s man, party boy who isn’t used to being told no by anyone, especially the ladies. This makes the chase for Jasmine’s attention a challenge he’s excited to take on. Luke, who is Lucy’s attractive boyfriend at the beginning of the story, also happens to be someone that Jasmine has a major crush on. Once Lucy turns of age for the mate bond to take effect, she is sorely disappointed that Luke is not her mate. Luke also happens to be Blake’s soon-to-be beta. What happens when Luke finds his mate, will he be able to give up on his love for Lucy to follow the mate bond, or will he be willing to reject his mate and stay with the woman he loves, Lucy? Will Blake be able to seduce Jasmine into a relationship based more on friendship, if so, what happens when she finds her own mate? There are a lot of circumstances that are hard to take within this book, but it all helps to build up the character’s personalities, as well as the depth of their feelings. I was so happy to find out that there are 2 more books in this series because you do end on a cliffhanger, which leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to start the next book and read further about the fates of our four friends. @Brandy Rymer 11/2023

Wolfbane (Wolfbane Series Book 1) by Celia Hart. This is such a great werewolf, shape shifter, romance. It’s the story of Jasmine who is a good college girl and she has saved herself for her fated mate. When she meets Blake who is mourning the loss of his mate sparks fly and she is more than tempted to give up on saving herself. She finally figures out who her mate is and its Luke, her best friends boyfriend. Not a good combination. Blake is the soon to be Alpha and Jasmine loves spending time with him and they vow to always be friends even if they don’t end up together. Lucy is her best friend and Luke’s girlfriend. Lucy is not the best friend, she is always leading Jasmine into bad situations and I had a hard time liking her. Will Jasmine end up with Luke staying true to her fate and ruin her friendship with Lucy or will she stay follow her heart and give Blake a chance? Such a fast paced love triangle.

So every once in a while I get on a shifter romance kick. That’s all I want to read, which is what led me to Wolfbane. This story is a tearjerker but good. Multiple love triangles with one common denominator in them. And poor girl the author puts her through the ringer. Yet she comes out better for it in the end. Jasmine has been saving herself for her one true mate. She’s the one who lacks fun, because she’s straight edge, religious, and pure. Coming from a strict family background she has to keep all encounters with future Alpha Blake hidden. They’ve become friends out of his pursuits of a good time, unfortunately she knows her family would approve of the friendship. Of course that’s not the cruel hand she’s been dealt. Her mate is none other than the future Alpha’s beta Luke but all her best friend Lucy’s boyfriend. Two triangles : Luke, Lucy, & Jasmine Luke, Jasmine, & Blake Lucy has no intentions of giving Luke up. Luke wants to do the right thing, but at what cost because all he’s doing is hurting Lucy. Blake wants Jasmine, he doesn’t feel like Luke deserves her. However he fully understands the mate bond so he will step back and help his friends see its benefits and why they are meant to be together. Simple, right? Not really because a wrench is thrown into the Luke, Lucy, & Jasmine triangle that’s about to blow it all up, decisions need to be made. It doesn’t help that there’s a war on the pack looming. Giving the Beta and ultimatum is all Jasmine has left. She’s losing herself and her will to fight. What will he decide? How will it impact everyone involved? That question and so so so many more come about while reading this book. You feel for Jasmine. You want her to be happy but how can she when everyone is pulling her every which way. The only escape she gets seems to come from her time spent talking to Blake. He’s been that shoulder to cry on. You want love triangles, loss, rejection, action and so much more. This shifter story has it and then some, so check it out!

I am a die-hard for paranormal romance and when I tell you that I devoured this one I am not joking. I found a book that finally had some “meat” and wasn’t an hour read which gave it all the more points on my scale. Jasmine was so easy to love. Always the good girl now stuck choosing between two guys. Gah I couldn’t get enough! I cannot wait to read more Celia books cause she locked me up and threw away the key. This goes in my reread pile for sure!!

Jasmine is what is known as a good girl. She follows all the rules and doesn’t take any risks. Growing up with religious strict parents will do that to you. She believes that she has to remain pure for her fated mate. That is until she meets Blake, the future Alpha.
Blake’s mate died and he had no interest in pursuing anything until Jasmine came along. They know nothing can happen between them but they can’t help but feel attraction for each other. Jasmine is the first girl that Blake has felt comfortable with since his mate passed away. Blake makes Jasmine want to take risks and start exploring some physical aspects she has never done before.
Then along came Jasmine’s fated mate, Luke, who is her bestfriends boyfriend. Which makes things so much more complicated. Once her best friend, Lucy, finds out, she throws a tantrum and turns against Jasmine. Luke doesn’t know what to do and has no backbone when it comes to Lucy. Even though Luke is not Lucy’s fated mate, she vowed to never lose him and will do anything to keep him. Everyone all of a sudden has a choice to make. The obvious choices are no longer that obvious as time goes on.
I liked Jasmine and Blake and found myself rooting for them even though they were not fated mates. I disliked Luke and hated Lucy. Lucy was a crappy friend. She constantly tried to get Jasmine to do things she didn’t want to do and called her a prude when she disagreed with her. All in all Lucy was just a crappy and selfish person in general.
The characters themselves didn’t seem to have much depth to them in my opinion. I feel like the author was just trying to hit as many tropes as possible. I am hoping as the series continues, the characters will become more personable.

Jasmine lives in a world where werewolves have an unspoken rule in their beliefs: the Goddess grants you a mate, wait for them. This rule is something she’s followed and believes in…even when she’s tempted by her best friend’s boyfriend. Then along comes the future Alpha, Blake, and her outlook and control is really tested. I don’t want to spoil the book, but just know that this is a must-read for avid paranormal/shifter-romance lovers! This was a whole new take on werewolves and their culture! I was enthralled by how different the idea of mates was in this book and really enjoyed the added aspect of religion that played a role in their beliefs. Many of us paranormal readers are familiar with werewolves and fated mates, but this book shows a different side that I don’t think many of us considered. Wow! I’ll be looking for book two!

I am a first time reader of this author Celia Hart. I decided to read this book because one,I liked the cover. Two, I love reading Wolf supernatural books. This is a longer story, taking me about a day and a half to read but it’s a fantastic read 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 she really held my attention the hold time, especially with every twist and turn and emotional ups and downs there were in this book. Also this author’s take on the mating bond was unique and I loved it. I definitely prefer Jasmine with Blake vs Luke🥰I’m looking forward to reading the other 2 books in the series.Hopefully, they’re just as long. l really enjoyed the world this author has built. I can’t wait!!

Oh my gosh this book was so good!!! So good that I went right away and ordered book two and three as soon as I finished it! Yes, it was that good!! I love the whole take on the werewolf mate bond in this book. It was a nice twist and I can not wait to see what happens next with all these characters! Jasmine is a good girl. She follows all the rules. She goes to temple. She doesn’t date. She gets straight A’s. She trains more than most. And she is just overall a well rounded good person. Well that all goes flying out the window when she finally meets her mate. Unfortunately, he’s already been with someone else and because of that her whole life is falling apart. Not all wolves follow the strict rules like Jasmine was. She was brought up to save herself in EVERY way for her mate. Blake is the soon to be alpha of the pack. His mate was taken from him before he even had the chance to mark her. It almost killed him to lose her. He’s not the same person at all. Leaving for a few years helped, but now he is back and after meeting a shy quirky girl his world is tipped on it’s axes. His common sense flew out the window. Self-control melted away and who knows where his discipline went!! He can’t help but like her, but she is destined to be matted to someone else and he can’t mess with that gift for the Goddess. Luke messed up. And I mean, big time!! He keeps trying to right all his wrongs, but he just can’t seem to get anything right. He betrayed his mate in HUGE ways. Trying to clean it up just made it worse and worse and worse. What will he do with his life now? The shambled mess that it is! War is coming to their pack and these three must prepare as much as they can, but how do you do that when your world is flipped upside down and sideways? Death is in the air from this 5 year war, and the other clan just won’t give up on seeking their revenge. You HAVE to read this book!!!!!! If you love a good werewolf romance book with lots of twists and turns, grab this one! Like I said I grabbed two and three as soon as I was finished! You will want to too!!

I really enjoyed this book. The intertwining stories of the two couples was well written and real. I loved meeting Jasmine, Blake, Lucy , and Luke. I really liked the fact that we were able to see the story from each of their perspectives, therefore getting more of a visual on the story. It was a realistic portrayal of finding love and the drama that can happen in that journey. I look forward to reading the next installment of this series.

I love love this book and couldn’t put it down. The ending was great. I felt very connected to the characters and didn’t want it to end. Lucy is terrible. Alpha and beta are friends and it’s a new era vs old type story as well. Like it’s time for a change. You’ll be missing out if you don’t read this one!

This book was really good. It is the first book of the series and I cannot wait to read the next one. Jasmine is a no rules breaker kind of girl but when this new mysterious guy comes she starts thinking of things and unimaginable which is the rules. The alpha on the other hand had his chance at his mate, but he rejected who the moon goddess gave him. Are these two destined to be together?

This is the first book in the Wolfbane Series. I could not put this book down. Jasmine has always followed the rules. When she finds her mate her whole world implodes. This book ran me through my emotions for sure. I will be running to get the next book in the series.

Wolfbane is a paranormal romance novel and the first book in the Wolfbane series. I have not read anything by this author before and was unsure what I was going to get. Even though the book is 500 pages the plot itself is fast paced and the story flows well. With true fated mates, werewolf lore, conservative religious beliefs, dupery and second chances this book has it all. There is also betrayal, lies, secrets, drama, angst, hurt, pain, hope, love and some violence. Wolfbane is a story of a Love Square or Love Rectangle involving four people. Pitting friends against each other. What a twisted tale Celia has given us. I got to say my heart and my head are all over the place with this one. Frustrated beyond belief with some of the characters and I wanted to slap the heck out of them or bodily harm. It didn’t grip me like I hoped it would and I think that is because of some of the characters. Blake the future alpha had it all, but it was taken from him. Then he meets her, and things become quite a mess. I really liked him as a character and my heart went out to him. Jasmine is the rule follower but when the future alpha catches her attention then all bets could be off. Or are they? Feelings for Blake, betrayed by her mate and best friend she doesn’t know what to do. Luke loves his mate’s best friend and is being led around by his d*ck. The indecisive nitwit. I wanted to knock some sense into him. Lucy is a selfish duplicitous b*atch! She knew what happens when you meet your mate, but she is a sh*tty person, stamps her foot like a two-year-old and has a temper tantrum. Then she does the unthinkable. I absolutely hated her. I am surprised I didn’t break my tablet in frustration. I guess these intense feelings just go to show how well written Celia made them. The story is told through multiple POV which is my favourite way of storytelling and great because you get to know who the characters are. The story flowed well until the ending where it felt a little rushed and abrupt in its ending. I will be reading the next because I have to know how it all turns out in the end. Just because this is how I felt reading this book does not mean that everyone feels the same so give it a go and make your own decisions.

This was my first novel from this author and I greatly enjoyed this paranormal shifter romance. I thought that Jasmine was a wonderful heroine caught in a tough situation, being involved in a love triangle. I definitely loved her friendship with Lucy and I thought the contrasts between the friends really showcased their friendship. I loved the multiple POV’s so we could see what the other characters were feeling and thinking. The author did a great job of creating depth to her characters and making you really care about what happens to them. The steamy scenes were especially hot. This is a great start to a dynamic series and I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories.

This is a pretty good book. Jasmine, Blake and Luke are the primary trio. One’s a best friend and the other is the alpha. It was Jasmine’s job to follow the rules and between the three that was pretty hard to do. It’s a good paranormal romance that is pretty predictable. I liked the storyline.

Her mate however wasn’t as careful. The Moon Goddess has given Jasmine the opportunity to choose her mate or be with the one who would complete her in ways nobody else could. Who does she choose though? I have read many books of werewolf romances and each one has been the same, but different and it just fascinates me. I will say as a warning that the steamy scenes in this book are not suitable for anyone under the age of at least 16. I haven’t read anything by this author before ai picked up this book, but I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of this series when I some more free time. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

Wolfbane is the first book in the Wolfbane series by Celia Hart. It is a paranormal shifter romance, with werewolves, pack dynamics, a love triangle/square, fated mates, ANGST, DRAMA, family dynamics, action, violence, chemistry, sizzle, challenges, obstacles, tension, heartache, push-pull, frustrating developments, multiple POV’s, and more.
I LOVE a great paranormal romance, it is one of my favourite genres, add in shifters/werewolves- and I’m a happy camper. So, when I saw this pop up on social media, I didn’t hesitate to grab a copy and dive right in. I had high expectations, I must admit- because I love this genre so much. I had never read anything by this author before (and this does appear to be her debut novel), so I was excited to see what she could do. I will be honest here and say, I really did want to love this book much more than I did. I am disappointed that I didn’t- as this has the potential to be brilliant. It just didn’t really work for me. I was expecting a love triangle, but this took that so much further- more like two love triangles- which just muddled/complicated things unnecessarily, in my opinion. I don’t necessarily dislike ‘cheating’ in books, if it’s done right- but this felt like ‘cheating’ to me- and it frustrated me to death. It felt like it was done to ‘manufacture angst and add drama, for the sake of it. I really think that this book would have been brilliant if it had just focused on one couple, and didn’t overly complicate the whole thing with the ‘multiple’ love interest dynamics. I found it hard to really connect with the characters, because of that ‘dynamic’. Just when things were getting interesting, towards the end, the flow got quite rushed and then the ending seemed to come somewhat abruptly. The series is set to continue in ‘Wolfblood’ (Book #2)- but from what I can see, it focuses on different characters- so I will have see what happens there. But don’t let my opinion put you off reading this story, you might love it- especially if you love paranormal romance with plenty of sizzle and love triangles/squares. So, if that’s the case, grab yourself a copy and make up your own mind. Happy Reading…

Jasmine is a rule-follower that is saving herself for her fated mate. This is quite the opposite of her best friend, Lucy. However, she finds herself confused by the feelings she is getting for Blake, the soon-to-be alpha. While they are sorting through their feelings, Luke returns and feels the bond with Jasmine, even though he planned on being Lucy’s mate. This causes quite a lot of angst and tension. What happens when you are torn between your heart and destiny?
This was quite a different take on the shifter world than I have read in previous books. There is a lot going on…especially angst and drama. There was a lot of indecisiveness from Luke…and stressful to watch fate come between these two best friends. I found myself, on more than one occasion, wanting to smack the characters upside their heads for the decisions they are making…but, it was entertaining to read and I found myself sucked in from the beginning. I will definitely be checking out the next book!
