"Longing for Wolves" [Shifter Country Wolves Series, Book 5] by Roxie Noir
Author's Book Description : Calder Waltz is finished with love.
She died, and with her went his relationship with his mate Sam. With nothing left to lose, wolf shifter Calder drove off into the sunset. Now, after years bouncing from place to place, returning to town for his little sister's wedding is harder than leaving in the first place.
Then he meets Annika, a curvy brunette who tempts him that way for the first time in years. Suddenly Calder's world has tilted on its axis, and he can't stop thinking about her.
Annika's too busy running her bakery to date one person, let alone two shifters - after all, they mate in triads. She especially doesn't have time for her best friend's wayward brother, Calder, even if the way he smiles does make her feel warm and gooey inside. He's a drifter who refuses to settle down, and she wants a partner, not a project.
Too bad she can't seem to stay away from the big, brawny alpha with a tragic past...
When Calder shows up at Sam's house in the middle of the night, completely wasted, his long-abandoned mate does the only thing he can. He lets him in. And with Calder comes the potential for a new beginning - a second chance that centers around the gorgeous Annika.
Can two former mates heal the rift between them? More importantly, can they learn to trust before they lose it all a second time?
How many fated mates does a shifter get?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! About seven years ago, in a freak accident, Sam and Calder lost their mate, Marie. That tragedy changed them in ways neither could have predicted and made Calder so scared that he left Sam not long after Marie’s death without any notice. Now Calder returns for his younger sister’s wedding and to face the past he has never gotten over. Not long after returning to town, he meets Annika, a lovely baker who is creating his sister’s deserts for the wedding, and finds himself thinking a new future. However, Annika won’t allow herself to take on any more “projects” so she makes Calder and Sam to face their shared past, but what will the future hold for them all when everything is all said and done.
This touching novel deals with meaningful situations and throws in fun twists. I really enjoyed how Annika stuck to her wishes and the plot played out. Filled with longing, hope, and a plenty of lust, I could not get enough of this trio! Sam and Calder are perfect counterparts to one another than when you bring Annika into the mix it was as if she settled them down. I really liked them together. If only the novel was longer. =0)
I do recommend this novel to those who are fans of the series and/or looking for a ménage wolf shifter romance!
-- On a side note --
This was the first novel from this series that I read and found it can be read as a standalone just fine. While I wished the ending wrapped up a bit better, the only thing that threw me off was in the book's description it lists Greta and Annika as best friends while in truth they were more like sorta friends or good acquaintances.

Book Teaser(s) :
I can’t believe I said that to Sam, Annika thought. I have the world’s worst luck.
I meet two crazy hot, flirty guys in one day, and they’ve got a horrible back story with each other.
“I might have told him that your brother was in town and I heard he had a juicy back story,” Annika said, wincing. “He didn’t mention being the back story. Jesus, I feel like an idiot.”
Greta laughed, and then leaned across the counter and hugged the other girl.
“This is why I’m going to be single forever,” Annika muttered into Greta’s hair, half-joking.
“That’s not true,” Greta said. “Your someone is out there. He’s probably just not my fucked-up, degenerate big brother.” ~ within Chapter 3 - titled 'Annika'

As Calder pulled away something tickled her neck, and then Sam was there, sucking and biting at the sensitive skin.For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Roxie, then please check out her Amazon Acct.
“No hickies,” she gasped.
Sam just laughed and bit her a little harder.
“Come on,” she pleaded, even as her eyes closed with pleasure.
“Mine was intentional,” Calder reassured her. “Very, very intentional.”
“You deserved it,” Sam said. ~ within Chapter 11 - titled 'Annika'
