Elizabeth's Wolf (Breeds, #3; Wolf Breeds, #1) by Lora Leigh

Elizabeth's Wolf (Lora Leigh)

SUMMARY

Special-Forces solider Dash has all but given up his will to live until an innocent letter from a little girl brings him back to life. Cassie writes to him every week, strengthening his resolve to recover from the devastating loss of his unit. But when the letters suddenly stop arriving, Dash instinctively knows Cassie and her mother are in critical danger.

Elizabeth and her daughter are on the run from a dark and bloody past that refuses to let them go. The stakes are too high for her to fall for this dangerous man who's just walked into her life, but now more than ever she needs help.

Saving his mate and her daughter calls Dash's beast to the forefront and transforms the lone wolf into an alpha protector--he becomes Elizabeth's wolf.

REVIEW (OLD BOOK EDITION)

Breeds 3
Wolf Breeds 1
Featured Couple: Dash Sinclair (Wolf) & Elizabeth Colder (Human) 

In this book, we read about one of the most popular characters in this series, Cassie. Cassie doesn't show up much often in the series. She is introduced in this book as a secondary character. She is the child who was writing letters to Dash describing her life and her mother.

Dash is a soldier who almost gets killed and almost loses her will to live since all his squad has died. Little Cassie’s letters have brought back his will to live. Dash has started have feelings for Cassie and her mother, Elizabeth, and through the letters he discovers the family he always wanted.

When he is released from the Army, he starts looking for the mother and daughter and then he finds out a big secret. Elizabeth is on the run trying to hide her innocent daughter who her biological father has basically sold to the scientists for experiments.

Dash will be there to protect them -even if he and Elizabeth have never met before-, he will save them over and over again making Elizabeth trusting him and he will unveil his own secret to them: He is a Wolf Breed who hides his existence almost all his life. Elizabeth apparently is his true mate and soon they need to see what this means exactly.

I really liked the fact that although Dash is a very dominant Alpha male, he doesn't go all caveman but he gives Elizabeth time to adapt and accept their attraction.

We will find out as well how different is having sex with a Wolf Breed in comparison to Feline Breeds.

This book is one of the favorites of the Lora Leigh Breeds’ enthusiasts. And I have to admit that it is one of my favorite books in the series as well. The actual sex between Elizabeth and Dash comes further down in the plot and the feelings and the gaining of trust are the elements that dominate the book.

There is something plainly romantic about two people falling in love though letters, especially when the male is a tortured military man who has never experience love in his life.
“Elizabeth's Wolf” is a first-class, well-built story. It is a combination of tough, heartbreaking emotions, action and of course family bonds.

REVIEW (RECENT BOOK EDITION)

In anticipation of Cassie's book Cross Breeds , Elizabeth's wolf is re-released with a new cover: (Not that the old one was bad , but this was a consequence of getting back the rights of the books by the author) This is the book that we met Cassie for the first time as a little girl. Elizabeth is her mother. Cassie will help Elizabeth and Dash meet and consequently mate. Dash is a lonely wolf breed and a soldier who hides and pretends to be human. This is the book in which actualy the wolf breeds are also introduced. One of my favourite books in the series! From Lora Leigh's Facebook page about the new edition: Elizabeth's Wolf had somewhere around 30,000 words added. Clarifications as well as information that pulls the Vanderale connection in were added. Did anything change the story? No. The stories themselves or their plots, characters etc haven't been altered as of it. In The Man within, and Elizabeth's Wolf, its been information that only adds to the series or characters or clarifies them in some way. In reissuing the books, I wanted to make certain they were as clean as possible as well as ensuring that any plot holes in regards to the series were fixed. I'm 30 or 31 books into this series now, and after Cassies story the series will take another turn, with Dane Vanderale, Lobo, and several other characters taking more prominent roles. We'll still revisit older characters, but its time to let the new characters have their heads. I want to get those older books in circulation once again though, because they add to the series as a hole, in vital ways I believe. They show the beginning of mating heat, the fluidity of the heat, and the Breeds themselves in a way that can never go into a single book. I hope you enjoy the books. If you've already bought them, then no you don't have to re-buy them to understand the series or how it stands. The revised portions of the books aren't going to be extreme, nor change the books themselves in regards to plot. You don't have to rebuy the books if you've already read them. You don't have to have the books to continue readying the series. Those who haven't ready them, I hope you enjoy them as much as the newer titles. I've always tried to write the books to stand alone as much as possible. So acquiring the reissue's is not required :)
