Wild Wolf (Shifters Unbound, #6) by Jennifer Ashley

Wild Wolf (Jennifer Ashley)

SUMMARY

 
Graham McNeil knows that his pack is unruly, but he’s not sure he can take the next step toward Shiftertown stability—choosing a new mate. After losing his mate and son long ago, Graham has worked hard to keep his heart in check. And even if he was inclined to bind himself again, his girlfriend, Misty, is human—a fact that won’t sit well with Graham’s old-fashioned wolves.

But Graham is up against a new enemy, one who could spell danger and death to all of Shiftertown. Graham must now defend his leadership and save Misty, the woman he has grown to love—before Shiftertown is pulled into an all-out war. 

MY REVIEW

Graham is my second favourite shifter after Liam and this surprises me, truly.
Let's see why I am so surprised that I like him using his own words:

-His opinion about himself: "It is traditional with me to just being a shit. I can't not be one."
-His opinion about women and romantic movies: " Women in real life wouldn't settle for the beta. They would keep trying for the alpha."
-His opinion about apparently his love of his life:"This is what I get for being nice to a human. You are what is wrong. You have fucked me over."

Graham is a big bad wolf. He is uneducated, he has lived a hard life, he is rough, he doesn't trust anyone, he is unpolished with no manners, he was an asshole in the previous books and he is an asshole for the majority of this book.

But there is Misty and suddenly Graham falls in love.

Although
he does not need a human in his life and
he needs to take a lupine as a mate and
he needs to establish his dynasty and
he needs to keep the wolves in shifter town under control and
he keeps arguing and fighting with Eric the powerful alpha leader and
he has a nephew and two little orphan wolves to take care and protect and
he has so many troubles to last for a lifetime,
he falls in love with Misty and all the problems fade away.
She creates new ones...

Graham learns to say "I am sorry" and "please", "don't leave alone again, please" and he is seriously a sweetheart.
My favourite scene is when Graham and Misty are sharing tequila with rose petals to break the fae magic, arguing about which drinks are manly and which drinks are for chicks. And of course he is much too smug with his sex appeal and his expertise with women when they end up making out.
