๐Cliff Notes Review-
Wolf Gone Wild was the perfect blend of paranormal romance, humour, and slow-burn tension. Mateo and Evieโs relationship develops naturally, making every romantic moment feel earned, while Alpha, Mateoโs hilariously overprotective wolf, completely stole the show. I loved the fresh take on werewolves, witches, vampires, and grims, as well as the warm family dynamic of the Savoie sisters. Sweet, funny, magical, and wonderfully swoony, this is one of those books that leaves you grinning from start to finish.
โA man can fall for many women, but the wolf falls only once."

Narrators Johanna Fairview and the incredible Aiden Snow bring this story to life. Both narrators did a Great job, but I think itโs important to note that the female narrator Johanna was brilliant but her microphone levels were off at some points, especially around letters like P and S. We all know and love Aiden, his voice is hot af, but the way he seamless switched from Mateo, the MMC, to Mateoโs inner wolf Alpha, was pure perfection. I never questioned who was talking bc they each had a distinct tone.
The female narrator was brillianty suited to this story, The sound of her voice is smooth and easy, she doesnโt sound like ai, and the way she reads with emotion and heart gave the characters so much life, especially when it came to Evieโs heightened moments like her rants, or her excited animated word diarrhea, Johannaโs dictation really made me chuckle. Her pacing, voice inflections, everything was just great!!!

Wolf Gone Wild was everything I wanted from a paranormal romance and more. It perfectly blends humour, romance, supernatural creatures, and just the right amount of spice into a story that was incredibly easy to fall into. The writing flowed effortlessly, the plot kept me engaged from beginning to end, and I absolutely loved the authorโs take on the paranormal world. While werewolves, witches, vampires and grims all have familiar traits, there are enough fresh twists to make the world feel unique and exciting.
The romance completely won me over. Although thereโs an undeniable attraction between Mateo and Evie from the very beginning, circumstances force Mateo to keep his distance, creating a wonderfully slow-burning romance packed with delicious anticipation. Watching the tension build chapter after chapter was equal parts frustrating and addictive in the very best way. When the relationship finally progresses, it feels earned rather than rushed, making every moment between them even more satisfying.
The spice is definitely on the lighter side because of the slow burn, but what is there is incredibly well written. Itโs passionate, intimate, and feels believable rather than over-the-top. Personally, I wouldnโt have complained about one extra spicy scene before the ending!
One of my favourite aspects of the romance was how naturally it developed. Their relationship grows through friendship, trust, and genuine understanding rather than instant declarations of love. They support one another through difficult moments, encourage each otherโs dreams, and their connection feels stronger because it isnโt without challenges.
๐งโโ๏ธ โ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ค:
Mateo completely stole my heart. Heโs protective and confident without losing his softer side, quietly artistic, incredibly supportive, and completely devoted once he realises Evie is the woman he wants. I loved how he embraced every part of her personality, encouraging her passions and celebrating the things that made her unique instead of trying to change her. His playful teasing and honest communication made him such an easy character to fall for.
And then thereโs Alphaโฆ Mateoโs wolf has to be one of the funniest characters Iโve ever encountered. The conversations between Mateo and his wolf had me laughing out loud throughout the book. Alpha is possessive, dramatic, completely shameless, and blissfully unaware of sarcasm, which leads to some absolutely hilarious moments. He honestly deserves his own fan club.
Evie was equally lovable. Sheโs wonderfully nerdy, proudly embraces her interests, and isnโt afraid to let her geeky side shine, especially with all the Star Wars references sprinkled throughout the story. Although past relationships have left her with some insecurities, she slowly grows in confidence without losing the quirky personality that makes her so endearing. I found her incredibly relatable.
I also adored the Savoie sisters. Their family dynamic felt refreshingly supportive and full of genuine love, and I loved discovering each sisterโs unique magical abilities. They always have each otherโs backs, and by the end of the book I was already excited to dive into every one of their stories.
๐ชง๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค:
Overall, Wolf Gone Wild is a wonderfully addictive paranormal romance thatโs equal parts funny, heartwarming, and incredibly swoony. Itโs a magical slow burn featuring an awkwardly adorable nerd, an utterly devoted werewolf, a hilariously unfiltered wolf living in his head, and a romance that leaves you smiling long after youโve finished the final page.
This was the perfect mix of cute & tender and hilarious hot guy gets the eccentric nerdy girl! But make them magicalโฆ

I managed to finish it but it was rubbish. I won't keep a physical copy and won't recommend it, butย it's a shame as the plot could have made a good book in another author's hands
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
It was OK. I wish I didn't start this one as it didn't do it for me as I struggled to read it. It had an interesting premise that fell flat but I had to see what happened in the end.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
I don't regret reading it, and I will read the next one, but this one did have a few flaws. [These could be repetitive writing, gaps or plot holes, better character growth or world building, areas needing more detail]
Generally, the book lacked depth and became confusing. The plot resonated with me even though it annoyed me on the whole.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
I'm glad I read it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to the right people, but I wanted more! Sadly, it's easily forgettable with a few issues I just couldn't overlook/get past.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
Good book! I loved it, but... I needed more! I really did enjoy it, but it had a few parts that needed more detail or added history/background or lore. But that's because the story or characters were memorable, and the plot was strong with brilliant twists. I would re-read if I needed to catch up for the next book and would recommend.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ.5
Great book! I truly wish the story had been thought about more, or the author had been given more time as this book is so close to brilliance! I will likely read again and will definitely be recommending it to all!
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
WOW! Absolutely amazing book! Well written with great characters and a plot so memorable that it will stay with me. I will definitely read this again, I will be recommending it and sharing it with the whole world! Also- I NEED A PHYSICAL COPY!
๐ฅโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ๐ฅ
This is my God level tier. The book must be perfectly memorable. Even after reading 50+ more books, I will remember character names and emotions along with the plot. If there is a special edition, then I need to own it! If there is a conversation on books- I'm talking about this!
ย SPICE SCALE:
๐ถ๏ธโ segsual language and a little on-page action
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธโ a lot of segsual language and some on-page open door action, may be occurring a couple of times
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธโ a lot of explicit action and dirty talk, occurring frequently with 2/3 lurvers
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ โ super graphic and explicit, occurring 4 or more times, can be more grey and taboo themed.
๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ โ Kinks and Fet!shism, explicit and super graphic. It is likely to be tushy play, toys, playrooms, and more dark / taboo fantasies and realities.
