More About the Author

The story goes like this - While on pregnancy bed rest, Lauren Dane had plenty of down time so her husband took her comments about "giving that writing thing a serious go" to heart and brought home a secondhand laptop. She wrote her first book on it before it gave up the ghost. Even better, she sold that book and never looked back.

Today Lauren is a New York Times bestselling author of over forty novels and novellas across several genres. Though she no longer has to deal with Polly Pocket and getting those tiny outfits on and off, she still has trouble blocking out the sound of iCarly so she can write a love scene.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, July 1, 2009

By 

tipper202 (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wolf Unbound (Cascadia Wolves) (Paperback)

The Cascadia Wolf series is excellent! I have read 5 of the 6 in the series and all of them were wonderful. This book has several sweet and sincere moments, as well as lots of action and returning charaters from the previous books.

This story centers around one of the twin sisters, Tegan, but you also get to catch up with brothers Lex and his mate Nina (Enforcer) and Cade (Standoff)! It is very sexy and has some light bondage thrown in - but was a great read.

I would highly recommend that you read the series from the beginning - Enforcer (Lex and Nina's story)was truly wonderful and had some laugh out loud moments.

If you like paranormal stories, this was a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book Obsessed Reviews: Wolf Unbound, September 24, 2010

By 

Book Obsessed "Tasha" (TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wolf Unbound (Cascadia Wolves) (Paperback)

Tegan has just been going through the motions of life since the death of her mate in Afghanistan four years ago. Ben is a cop who has given up on ever trusting or getting close to a woman again since finding his fiancee cheating on him with his partner. Tegan is a wolf; Ben is a human.

Their relationship is that of a D/s, and upon their first time having sex, they become a mated pair. Of course Ben is confused and needs time to process this, leaving Tegan heartbroken. She wants Ben to want to be with her for her, not just because the bond makes them crave sex with one another. All of their sexual encounters included some sort of sex toys. The shower scene is the only time I can recall them having sex without all the extra. I've read other books with spanking and nipple clamps, but the rope play and ropespace was something altogether new to me.

While they are dealing with their new bond and Ben's mother being against their relationship, war brakes out between the packs and Pellini. Which if you have read the previous books in the series, the war between them is not a surprise. This book only touches on the beginnings of war so the next books in the series will have more.

Overall, I didn't really feel that there was a true connection between Ben and Tegan. I really loved the connection and chemistry between Nina and Lex in Enforcer, but Tegan and Ben just didn't have that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cascadia Wolves- A Joyfully Recommended Title, March 14, 2008

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Wolf Unbound: A Cascadia Wolves story (Kindle Edition)

Werewolf Tegan Warden has spent the last four years of her life mourning the death of her mate. Her job as a Cascadia Enforcer keeps her going through out the day, but late at night she wishes for strong arms to hold her and a deep voice to whisper commands to her. Commands that she readily wants to submit to in the bedroom. Finally able to take charge of her life again, Tegan frequents a local BDSM club with the hope of being able to give up control, if just for a little while. Alone and blindfolded, Tegan's senses go on alert when she realizes that the man so masterfully making her submit might be exactly what she needs. Hooking up with him is fairly a no-brainer since he seems to be just as attracted to her as she is to him. After their scene, Tegan agrees to a simple date. Nothing is simple after their date, however, because come the light of day there are repercussions of their sexual encounter and it is a forever kind of mistake.

Ben Stoner can't believe his body. Alone with the fiery-haired woman in a scene room at his club, and he is instantly aroused. Using every bit of control he has to make the scene work for her, by the scene's completion, he knows he has to see this beautiful submissive woman again. She just might be the submissive woman of his dreams. He doesn't count on being tied to her forever.

Ben and Tegan have a lot of issues to work through. Issues that as a human Ben doesn't like and as a werewolf in a pack, Tegan has no choice but to obey. Add in the werewolf mafia and these two lovers will have to fight with every bit of their souls to stay together.

I can't get enough of Lauren Dane's Cascadia Wolves and Wolf Unbound is no exception. I read this book like a junkie looking for his next fix. Engulfing this story in one sitting, I laughed and I cried. I rolled my eyes at Ben one minute and then swooned at his charm and love for Tegan the next. I blushed at their encounters and cheered their victories. Wolf Unbound was written in such a way that I could hear their words and feel their emotions.

Wolf Unbound is just another reason why Lauren Dane is an automatic read for me. It was simply divine and I wholeheartedly urge snapping up a copy right this very minute. I must simply and emphatically Joyfully Recommend Wolf Unbound.
