Lists with This Book. Mar 11, Katy rated it did not like it Shelves: This book in one word? I was determined to like this book. I tried, I really did. And by that I mean there came a point when I decided to just ignore any problems. To just try and enjoy it for what it was. Unfortunately even that didn't help. The heroine was a petulant selfish brat, the hero was an immature ass without a backbone, and the plot had more holes than a crocheted doily.

Lady Madeline is a spoiled judgmental brat beautiful entitled heiress who is being hunted re This book in one word? Lady Madeline is a spoiled judgmental brat beautiful entitled heiress who is being hunted relentlessly by a horde of dowry obsessed men determined to marry her. Weston Hadley, one of the "penniless Hadleys" has been in love with her since the first day he met her but he keeps his distance.

Madeline refuses to even aknowledge him and Weston knows he doesn't have a chance in hell with her. Not only is he penniless, he has a scar that terrifies the heroine. Which I found really strange, but whatever. One night, Madeline accidentally sees Weston turn into a wolf.

Apparently, it makes sense to Weston that the only way for Madeline not to tell the entire world is if she marries him. Because this makes sense somehow. There are, of course, reasons she shouldn't say anything. Because telling everyone that you saw someone transform into a wolf would make you sound batshit crazy. Apparently, marriage is the magic answer. The rest of the book really boils down to the fact that not only can he not support her lifestyle but he can't support her at all. As you can probably tell, the plot itself was a major issue.

It made zero sense. Marriage wasn't the answer. Especially considering the number of times Weston was willing to let her go. It would have been different if the act of marriage somehow bound his fate to hers or poof magically made some kind of difference. It made the entire plot pointless.

Honestly, the fact that Weston was a Lycan barely had any actual impact on the plot. If you had replaced "Witnessed Weston turn into wolf" with "Was seen kissing Weston in the garden", the book could have had a very similar plot. Don't even get me started on Madeline. I just hated her. From the very beginning. Even her thoughts were bitchy. She couldn't help it as a shiver ran down her spine. There was something wild about Mr.

Weston Hadley, and the way he always stared at her was the tiniest bit terrifying. Besides, that scar was most unappealing. I prefer my heroines a little a less shallow but whatever. What bothered me the most was the fact that Madeline was obsessed with how unattractive Weston's scar was for sooo long. Even after she spent time with him and started to really like him. Even long after they were married, she was still thinking that because he was sleeping with his scar hidden by his pillow, he "almost looked normal". You could almost forget he had a scar.

Are you kidding me? She basically went from "Oh my god, that scar is hideous and looking at you terrifies me" to thinking he was handsome despite his scar. I was insulted for him. She was one of my least favorite heroines ever. And worst of all, stupid. Seriously, what kind of person doesn't know the difference between mud and horse shit.

After rubbing it allllll over herself on purpose and having it covering her body for a loooong time. Even after Weston told her that it wasn't mud that she had purposefully rubbed all over her body, face, and hair, she refused to believe him and tried to get it off her face with her tongue. She was even kidnapped without realizing it and was appalled that her kidnapper wouldn't let her go.

She was a walking face-palm. Weston was just as bad, although in different ways. His own kind of stupid. And so willing to throw away everything for Madeline. I know there is a way that can be romantic. Who doesn't love a hero who is willing to do whatever it takes to make the heroine happy? But this was not that kind of romantic. He was so glad for every little thing Madeline gave him.

If she happened to look his way? He couldn't believe her eyes were meeting his. Her arm brushed up against his arm? It was just strange. He was a grown man.

Book Review: Love Me Never by Sara Wolf

A well-experienced man who'd had a lot of women. I thought that level of infatuation just seemed so out of place. Especially considering conversations that was basically Weston's brother calling out his hypocrisy when it came to women: I vaguely remember that you took a member of the household staff to your bed just a few weeks ago. I just couldn't reconcile that guy with the one that was brought to his knees if Madeline so much as breathed on him.

Long story short, I did not enjoy this book at all. I was so excited when I found this series. I was ready to fill up my kindle with all of them but after reading this, I think I'm going to pass. View all 6 comments. Well isn't this awkward. I was expecting this: Instead I got this Well so am I.

Here I was expecting a brooding full blooded alpha werewolf instead I got Justin Bieber who is too busy mooning over a spoiled bratty confused overly-sensitive simpleton heroine way above his station. Match made in heaven maybe? Wes acts like a stammering insecure puppy around Lady Madeline, who bless her heart, is the definition of milquetoast--an incredibly naive one to boot. It takes her almost a yea Well isn't this awkward.

It takes her almost a year to realize she's being kidnapped by someone and couldn't seem to understand the difference between mud and horse dung. If I wanted a prepubescent love story I wouldn't be reading a HR book, much less one with a paranormal backdrop. Let me introduce you to our pup hero Weston Hadley: Blasted Archer was such a liar. I'm sorry but the writing leaves A LOT to be desired. The maturity level in this story is a dried up well. The adolescent behavior of the characters, the contrived premise that doesn't make sense and characters that are unbelievably dense that you can't take them seriously.

Racing phaetons with two infants in your laps makes perfect sense, nothing could go wrong right? I mean shin-kicking, begging for money, pulling pranks would make any woman's panties drop. Let's not forget the fact that a governess is hired for 3 grown ass brothers to drill some manners into them and look after them. Do the authors realize that none of this is considered flattering or funny? I'm supposed to believe these guys are terrifying social outcasts who turn into growly wolves? LOL The immature adolescent tone of the entire story is bizarre and at some points uncomfortable.

And I'd still like an explanation of how forcing the heroine to marry you will ensure she won't tell anyone that you are a werewolf? It took 2 writers to write this book and this is the best they could come up with? Wives can't talk about their husbands once they are married? Don't see how marrying someone will prevent them from spilling the beans.

If you are expecting a historical romance story with a heavy paranormal theme in it, then this isn't the book for you.

See a Problem?

I must admit that I've been looking forward to Weston's story for a long time, and this book really met and exceeded any unrealistic expectations that I might have had. A bad boy, and I do love to see them change. The book picked up at this point but then it's rushed and the wolf itself is never seen again except maybe at the end Weston changed just enough to be the man Madeline needed but not too much where he was a boring character. It became cookie cutter and immature. Unlike other reviewers, I'm totally fine with the fact that this isn't a whole series of brooding alpha tough guys.

I'm not even sure why I gave this 2 stars since it was so awful from what I remember. Mar 01, Amanda rated it it was amazing Shelves: The Wolf Who Loved Me: Three years ago Wes, spotted Lady Madeline across a ballroom and ever since he has been besotted. He will never ever Westfield Wolves Series: He will never ever be good enough for the likes of Lady Madeline Hayburn. Even if her eyes go searching for him on one of the rare occasions him and his brothers are invited to a Ton function, but eventually they reach the wicked scar on his cheek and she realizes just how dangerous and inappropriate he is for a lady of her stature.

All of that changes one night on the full moon. Madeline sees Weston from out her window dragging a man to the barn. She goes out to investigate and finds herself seeing Weston transforming, could that be true what she saw, surely not?! Weston has really done it this time, Dash is really going to light into him for this one.

The only people that can know about his kind outside of the society are their mates, and Lady Madeline is no mate of his… But she could be… Review: With a Lydia Dare book you get historical romance with a bit of the paranormal thrown in for good measure. One of the things I love the most from this duo is much like a Julie Garwood novel you know you are getting great characters. The concept of whatever novel you are reading might not necessarily be new, but you will fall in love with the characters in their stories and this one is no exception.

She is baling them out of scrape after scrape. And now Weston has gotten himself into one doozy of a problem. I even think that Weston is taking top spot for my favorite L. He is equal parts sweetheart and rogue, completely besotted with Madeline for the last three years; he routinely makes a complete arse of himself whenever she is around and scares her. With Wes you get a bad boy with good intentions. Towards the end about killed me, I felt so bad for these two. Lady Madeline Hayburn, has grown up knowing that she is the daughter of a Duke, that she will make a splendid match of some titled well off man.

You see she reads.. My kind of girl. She knows these men are after two things, her connections as part of a powerful family, and her dowry; which is quite sizable. When she see Weston, she is pulled toward him at the same time as she is scared of him, he confuses her. One thing she does know is that he will never do. But as soon as Wes shows her a different way, where you can get dirty and jump out of windows, she seems to take to it and run with it.

One transgression at a time she sheds a bit of the ridge, never been dirty Lady Madeline and becomes a little more Maddie a girl that can have fun. I enjoyed reading these small changes; it makes Madeline stand out a bit from some of the other females of the series. I really enjoyed Madeline. This book will take you all over the place, from Kent to Scotland. It is a grand adventure for these two as they flee. There was also great emotional growth for both Madeline and Weston, their adventures made them realize things about themselves that had them both reevaluating.

We also get too see Caitrin, Dash and the other two Hadley brothers again. This supporting cast always provides fun entertainment. I enthusiastically enjoyed this book and recommend Lydia Dare to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance or Paranormal Romance or both. View all 5 comments. Nov 03, Laura the Highland Hussy rated it liked it.

Usually we see these dominant, very wolf-like men whose wolf gets as much page time as the man. In this series, the wolves and their wolf-side are more on the periphery of the novel. This series deals more with the men behaving in polite society. In this particular book, the hero Wes, his twin brother Grey, and his elder brother Archer are barely tolerated by Society, so their brother Dashiel from The Taming of the Wolf hires a governess.

Yeah, you read that right, a governess. I get that this book is lighter in tone and pararnormal than most, but I found that unbelievable. It was stupid and lame. However, in the next scene, after the governess is frightened away a la the Von Trapp children, Mary Poppins Lady Sophia accepts the position. Archer won her entire fortune from her gambler father, and she wants one thing back-a small cottage.

REDNECK RIVIERA - THE ORIGINAL SHORT STORY.

I found this much more believable- hiring her to help them adapt into Society so the Ton would accept them, over the governess. It was supposed to be funny, I guess. It felt over the top to me. I did not like the immature hero. He behaved as a 15 year old boy would. Right off the bat he is taking his toddler niece and nephew out while he and his twin race their phaetons. And of course, he takes the fall, saving his screaming niece. But the fact that he did that at all kind of irritated me. But, hey, shrug it off, right? It was still the beginning of the book.

Or at least a spoiled daughter of a duke. I think that bugged me at first, but not so much because of how she behaved, but because of how Wes treated her-he had her up on a pedestal so high she must have seen clouds. The short version is that her father has a ton of men at their country house so that Maddie can choose her husband from them.

She sees him change in the full moon, he kidnaps her and heads to Gretna. In fact that was the best part of this book-the whole chase, rush to Scotland, marriage and romance was sweet and I enjoyed it immensely. The ending bothered me a bit because Archer was being an ass yet again and no one took him to task.

I thought Maddie would at one point, but she also let it go. I hope Sophia makes Archer wok for her affection whenever they get their book. I wanted him to rip into a certain acquaintance of his, but he never did. I did like the ending, but I just felt that the middle picked up the pace so well from the beginning, that the ending was just a teeny bit of a let-down. View all 8 comments. Weston Hadley interests her, but he is far from suitable. Wes has always been attracted to Lady Madeline and never believed he could have her. He and his brothers are all very rough-around-the-edges, and not very civilized.

However, as the story between Madeline and Wes develops, he begins to understand his station with more clarity, and I am happy to report that he grows as a character. As for Madeline, at times I really like her and at other times, I found her a bit stuck up. This fits her character very well, she is the spoiled daughter of a Duke.

However, at times her selfish nature made me feel really bad for Wes, who I adored. There are plenty of twists and turns hat make the plot interesting and pacing is quick. I have not read all the previous books in the series, so there were a few points where I was confused as to who some of the characters were.

While I read this book as a stand alone and enjoyed it, I would recommend reading through the series in order. Readers who enjoy historical romances and paranormal romance reads will really like this book. I recommend this series to fans of historical, and werewolf romance novels.

Not only is he strapped for funds and from a less noble family, he is also a werewolf --a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately, Lady Madeleine stumbles into his path one night as he changes into his wolf form. Fearful she will spill the family secret, he kidnaps her and heads to Gretna Green. It doesn't take long for Maddie to fall for her Weston Hadley has been in love with Lady Madeleine for as long as he can remember, but she is so far above his station, he never dreams they could be a match.

Set It Off - Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (feat. William Beckett) [Lyric's]

It doesn't take long for Maddie to fall for her captor. On the road to Scotland, real feelings surface between them, making their marriage more than one of convenience. Wes is so smitten with her, it makes for some sweet moments. Sadly, it wasn't enough to overcome the huge character flaws that nearly torpedoed the relationship.

Maddie is a spoiled princess. She isn't mean or snobby, but she is utterly clueless to any way of life other than one of privilege. She makes demands Wes can't easily fulfill. She obsesses over propriety and appearance. And Wes just feeds into the nonsense. He has her up on a pedestal.

He constantly ruminates that she is too good for him --that he is ruining her because he is getting her dirty. It got on my nerves. Then, there is the Big Misunderstanding which drives them apart. But its exacerbated by Weston's guilt and insistence on martyring himself to save Maddie from living beneath her means.

His self-flagellation grew tiresome. There were parts of the book I enjoyed. The scenes where Maddie and Wes allowed themselves to love one another were very satisfying. There is a solid cast of supporting characters which are clearly setting up future installments of the book. This is sort of a spin-off of the Westfield Wolves series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I have to say, too, I was little surprised how small a part the whole wolf-thing played into the story.

It was the impetus to set the events in motion, but really served little purpose otherwise. They are bing chased by her father the whole time. And the best part of the story is when you think it's over, there is a twist I struggled throught the first two thirds of the book. I could not finish it. It became cookie cutter and immature. The hero had no backbone and the heroine was a spoiled grump. This series ends for me. Mar 22, Adria Musings and Reviews rated it really liked it Shelves: This series certainly has come a long way since the first book A Certain Wolfish Charm was released.

Weston Hadley is one of three penniless brothers who just so happen to be Lycans, and if that secret isn't bad enough, he's also secretly enamored of Lady Madeline Hayburn who's dowry has drawn almost every titled fortune hunter to her home. Oh and she's the daughter of a duke as well. Weston knows he has no chance in hell of ever having Madeline as a wife so he doesn't even try. On the night of the full moon, Madeline walks in on him changing into his wolfish alter ego and naturally, runs away screaming.

Weston manages to stop her from alerting everyone within hearing range but that doesn't erase the fact that Madeline now knows his secret. His only two options are to either marry her, so that his future will be tied to hers, or kill her.

Without thought, he kidnaps Madeline and begins a race to Gretna Green in order to secure her silence. Weston knows he only has the duration of the trip to Scotland to convince Madeline to marry him or risk his secret being made public. Let me start off with the fact that I loved Weston already caring for Madeline, and that it was Madeline that needed to be convinced to step down off of the pedestal that her family had put her on and grasp her chance at happiness and a real life.

Second, Weston maintained his character. I've read books where one or both characters are introduced in a previous book but when it's their turn to be leads, they seem drastically different. Weston is still somewhat a reckless, immature and impulsive character in need of guidance. Especially in the presence of his twin Grayson. Weston changed just enough to be the man Madeline needed but not too much where he was a boring character. Madeline on the other hand changed drastically and for that I was grateful. At first she seemed like a victim of her breeding and social status but then she kind of got on my nerves after being dirtied and having to travel without the luxury of a maid and the best accommodations.

I had to remind myself that it wasn't her fault that she had never been without. It was hard, but I managed. Then Madeline began to change, she began to realize she was merely existing in her previous life and that with Weston to stir up trouble, she was living. She was able to let her true personality come out without fear of him scolding her or telling her that ladies didn't curse, or jump out of windows. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait for the next one! Dec 31, Akina rated it liked it Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

Some of the romance is believable but on the whole I was bored and underwhelmed. Jan 29, Angelc rated it it was amazing Shelves: Have I mentioned that I love Lydia Dare's books? Each new book is even better than the last. I love how even though this is a 'new series' for them, really all of the books by the authors are interconnected with the same characters. I must admit that I've been looking forward to Weston's story for a long time, and this book really met and exceeded any unrealistic expectations that I might have had.

Weston is one of the twin 'pups' that we've read about previously in the series. He and his twin, Grey, get into all sorts of misadventures, and they always seemed so adorably young. Weston has the unfortunate addition of a vampire-induced scar on his face which will forever differentiate him from his twin. I loved that the authors kept Weston's character young yet still allowed him to mature and grow. It's not terribly often that we get to see a young romance hero, and it works so well here. Weston lives up to his reputation of 'pup', he's just as sweet and loyal as a puppy.

Maddie is so spoiled, but she really means well, so it works well for this story. She's the daughter of a Duke who is getting used what she would have to give up in order to marry a "Mr. When Maddie worries when her next bath and clean change of clothes will be, it really comes across more as humorous rather than annoying or spoiled.

As I mentioned before, I love that we get to see many of the characters from past books here. They are such great supporting characters, and I hope we get to see Wes and Maddie in future installments. This book has some elements of the paranormal, Wes is a werewolf after all, but it's not overwhelming. I like that there is a taste of the fantasy world, but mostly this is a very sweet romance with great characters. Overall, this is possibly my favorite of Lydia Dare's books, with a fantastic werewolf hero.

A large majority of the book was in the point of view of Isis, but there were a few small parts where Jack cuts in and you get to see what he's thinking and feeling at certain important parts of the book. I enjoyed those small insights into his thoughts and it helped to get a better understanding of him as a person. The character development throughout this book was very well done. Jack was pretty much the Ice Prince for a large majority of the book, but I think readers really got to see beneath the icy wall he has built up around him towards the end.

He certainly got me smiling and happy at the Halloween party! With Isis, she was already the queen of sass and just an all around amazing character, but I think that she really opened up towards the end and allowed herself to feel things that she had previously thought she didn't deserve.

She spent the entire book allowing the words of her previous love to warp her image of herself and it absolutely broke my heart to hear her think that she was fat and ugly and didn't deserve to be kissed or loved. While it is incredibly sad, I think it can be extremely relateable for a lot of readers, both male and female. A lot of people allow the negative words of others to change the way they see themselves, and it's difficult to change that way of thinking after years of hearing such awful things.

It certainly sends a message that words really do hurt, and it's a powerful message that needs to be spread all over. One of my favorite parts of this book besides Isis, of course was the writing. Sara Wolf really has a way of creating and keeping the flow of words throughout the entire book.

The Wolf Who Loved Me

I was not only in love with the characters that she created, but also the world that she built and how she wrote about it. Her words absolutely captured me from the very first page and kept me interested until the last word. There was just enough build up throughout as you learn bits and pieces of Jack and his past to keep you guessing and wanting to read more and more until you've uncovered his secrets.

I also really appreciated that the author touched on the issue of emotional and physical abuse in relationships. Isis was involved with Nameless, who really treated her terribly and caused some serious issues for her long after she left. Her mother was also in an incredibly physically abusive relationship that left her with crippling PTSD. Abusive relationships are something that seems to be a touchy topic to write about, but I think it's a good issue to bring to light, especially in YA books. It provides young readers with the knowledge of what an abusive physical, mental, emotional, etc.

I really want to commend Sara Wolf on bringing it to light and writing about this issue in such an honest way. It will give you something completely different from the normal contemporary genre reads and you will absolutely fall in love with Isis and Jack, but maybe mostly Isis. It's funny, heartbreaking, intense, and just an all around fantastic read. Once you finish, you'll be dying to find out what happens next!
