Shoot for the Moon
Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn't able to save her mother or the alpha's son and she found herself exiled - a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even the man who has walked in her dreams for years. Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn't recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it's the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life. When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she's his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn't the alpha's second and enforcer because he isn't willing to fight for what's his, and he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate.

｡･:*˚:✧｡REVIEW #1: CRYING WOLF｡･:*˚:✧｡
Grace Shaw is on the run from her ex-boyfriend. He is a cop with a poor attitude that abuses her and forces her to flee. She comes up with a main plan that gives her a head start on starting over, but is that enough to deter him? No. Along the road, Grace finds her knight in shining armor that saves the day. The only thing keeping her unsafe is her secrets.
Hunter is an Alpha that keeps his town together. Thanks to his brother, he finds his fated mate standing right in his bar, looking for a job. The only thing that deters him is the fact that she is human. But that’s forgotten once he gets a whiff of her scent and he instantly seeks to find all the monsters in her closet to keep her safe.
Rochelle does a wonderful job showing the determent that Grace went through and how she had to keep Hunter at arm’s length. She also shows that Grace isn’t some stupid girl that needs someone to save her. Hunter is a beef cake that makes you want to jump his bones from the description Rochelle gives and you can’t help but wish him success in snaring Grace.
The danger is looming and the Tate brothers show their love and support by standing together. A pack of wolves is going to be hard to win against when Grace’s ex catches up to her. The question you have to answer is if she is strong enough to be the alpha female when she is only human.
If I had to rate this individual book out of five stars it would be 5/5 stars hands down. Highly recommend to paranormal romance readers that love wolf shifters with steam and cockiness. Loved the book and am glad I got the entire set to keep on reading.

5/5 star Review
｡･:*˚:✧｡REVIEW #2: SHOOT FOR THE MOON｡･:*˚:✧｡
Eliza is a wolf shifter with the ability to walk in dreams. Thanks to her keeping it secret, Spencer has his work cut out for him. He has been having a year long cuddle fest with Eliza waiting for his one true mate to show up. But because of her secret, he finds out too late that she is indeed his fated mate. Now he has to make up for lost time and hope she will believe him when he wants to make everything official.
Rochelle shows a story about a wolf that doesn’t trust his own senses for finding his true mate. He struggles and closes himself off from the possibilities thanks to a vision his grandmother had. The struggle he faces is by far a strange one that I have read. Usually shifters know their mate on site. He doesn’t, and people question him on it when he makes his claim.
The drama between these two is steamy, stubborn, and lovable. You can tell by the interaction the characters have that they are meant to be together. But sometimes it takes a third party to voice their opinion on the matter to get them to open their eyes.
This story had me rooting for Spencer from the beginning and I hoped they worked things out. Glad to know that the story ends with a HEA.
If I had to give the story a rating out of five stars it would be a solid 5/5 stars. I loved every minute of the banter between these two lovers and enjoyed watching from the sidelines how they fought to be together. When they decided to fight they didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend to the wolf shifter reader that loves some steam and stubborn characters.

5/5 star Review
｡･:*˚:✧｡REVIEW #3: THROWN TO THE WOLVES｡･:*˚:✧｡
Annora Channing’s world changed forever when she shifted into a bear. Her father instantly knew her mother sired her with a different male. The only thing Annora thought was strange was her mother claimed rape. Her father then disposes of her in the only way possible. By selling his daughter off to a hated rival.
Thanks to Eliza, Parker finds out his mate is on her way to his town. But not in the best conditions. Things are up in the air on how to protect the bear shifter from an alpha wolf that is a little crazed. But thanks to pulling on ties, Annora finds she has more saviors and family in the world than she expected.
The struggles between these two are hard for Parker and Annora. She is trying to figure out her life and keep it free from those that want to control her. But does taking a mate change everything? She doesn’t really understand her feelings but finds out that they are really strong towards Parker. They instantly realize they are meant for each other but fight the bound barely as it snaps in place.
This book has an instant love attraction between the two main characters. The only thing is wondering if they create a strong enough bound just in the little time they have together. Doesn’t really seem to build up as fast as the other two books and seems to lack some urgency between them. Hard to believe they fell for each other so fast but animals have a different genetic makeup than humans. But I would have liked to see more of a struggle put up by Annora, especially after just having a very traumatic event happening to her.
If I had to rate this book out of 5 stars I would have to give it 4/5. I enjoyed the story but something was missing to get it there for me. Highly recommend to readers that love the instant love trope that these two got going on in this book. Plus, if you enjoy paranormal romance, this book is for you.
