 Rescued by the Wolf by Sasha Summers

 

Blurb:

Mal wants one thing in life—vengeance against those that deserted him and those who tortured him. But rescuing a wounded girl from their captors, one that wreaks of innocence and fear, makes Mal put his plan on hold. Temporarily. He’ll do what he needs to keep her alive and safe, even if it changes both of their lives forever.

Being stabbed and held in a dark cell wasn’t on Olivia’s top ten list. Her savior isn’t exactly hero material. Angry, scarred, and pissed at the world, he seems to resent being saddled with her. But the longer they’re together, the more firmly a connection forms between them. A connection that binds her to him, his pack, and his world. But that connection may just lead to her death.

On the whole, I really enjoyed reading this book.
It is well written and the plot is fine and of course, you simply have to like Olivia. Her buoyant nature and her ability to love as well as her courage just take you in and make you love her right from the beginning. Mal is another cup of tea though. It was difficult for me to understand where he is coming from when he refuses to acknowledge their connection. Somehow the idea that he thought that he was not good enough for her, didn't convince me and I really didn't understand why he fought their bond.

Some developments were rather obvious and foreseeable but on the whole, it was a nice read. I was disappointed though when the book ended because I felt that the story had just begun and that it ended far too soon as nothing had been achieved yet.. Of course, it is part of a series but I was really getting in the mood to fight and to accomplish something when the book ended. It is not a cliffhanger but something is missing, at least in my eyes.

Nevertheless I really liked the book and I will definitely read other books by the author. starting with the other books in the series.
