I’m a relative newcomer to Patricia Logan books but I’ve loved the ones I’ve read. Prosper Woods Wolves is a spin-off of her Prosper Woods Chronicles series. It might enhance your enjoyment of this book if you’ve at least read the prequel, True Knight and book one, True Mate from that series. I’ve read those two books but not the other ones in the series. While I could tell that there was a bit of backstory that I was missing, I had enough information from reading the prequel and book one that I wasn’t lost.

With the above information out of the way, I’ve got to say that this is a really fantastic book. There were times that I was totally on the edge of my seat and other times that I was totally enchanted with some of the characters.

Prince Caster was a bit of jerk at times but he was often caught between a rock and a hard place. The one thing that was hard to forgive him for was how he treated his son, but by the end of the book all was forgiven. Emory was always delightful and I loved his devotion to his duties. He can’t quite comprehend that he and Prince Caster are fated mates.

The blurb really does a much better job of telling you about this book. I just want to shout out: READ IT! If you like a story with a variety of characters and an almost old fashioned feel, you should give this one a try.

I feel like there is so much I want to say but it would be too spoiler-y. Prince Caster’s son, Oliver, turned out to be a surprise. I hope we get to see more of him as the series continues on. It was also nice to visit again with some of the characters from the Prosper Woods Chronicles series.

Prince Caster and Emory get their HEA, and there’s not a cliffhanger, but I’m anxious to see where this series goes.

I was a complete and utter fool. The moment Lady Penelope stepped out of her limousine wearing three-thousand-dollar shoes, carrying a matching purse, I knew my mating with Prince Caster was doomed. She looked breathtaking standing beside the car with her mother at her side. She looked up at the prince who stood beside his father on the porch watching as her father walked down the steps to greet his wife and daughter. The smile which spread across her luscious cherry-red lips made her whole face light up. She practically shimmered.

I’d never seen a more beautiful creature in my life.

The diamonds around her neck, around her wrists, and on her fingers were no match for the sparkle in her bright blue eyes. They were framed with black lashes, a much darker shade than the light blonde of her hair which was twined in a ribboned braid and piled on top of her head. When she smiled at her father who bent to kiss her rosy cheeks, the whole world seemed to light up. Much worse than all of this were the thoughts that I heard in her head.

“In person, he’s so much more handsome than the portrait he sent. Oh…look at him. My mate is the most regal and kind man on earth. How could I be so lucky to have been blessed by such a wonderful soul. I hope he loves me. I already love him.”

Her unspoken words made the tatters of my heart sink. She wasn’t horrible at all. She was a lovestruck girl, and I’d never felt so lost in my entire life.

“Emory, get control of your thoughts. If I can hear them, others will. You’re slipping,” Claudio whispered beside me. We stood on the semi-circular driveway in front of the inn with most of the other servants who were ordered to stop whatever they were doing to come and witness the arrival of the future queen of werewolves. I glanced over at him, noting how handsome my best friend looked, standing up straight and tall with everyone else.

All in all, there had to be fifty servants standing at attention on either side of the crescent driveway. We looked good, well-groomed, and dressed in our best uniforms of black pants, long-sleeved white shirts, and black vests. Some of the senior staff wore suit coats. Claudio and I didn’t. It wasn’t required. The females wore their hair pulled up and the males’ shoes were all buffed to a high polish.

“You’re right. Sorry.” I nodded to my best friend, and then turned back, knowing by the frown on Claudio’s face, how miserable my expression had to be as we watched this farce playing out on the driveway. Only hours before, I’d woken in my lover’s arms, and he was now leaning down to take Lady Penelope’s delicate hands in his and buss both of her cheeks. I felt a sob rising in my throat and choked it back, relieved when Claudio’s hand slipped into mine and squeezed my fingers.

Tears burned behind my eyes as I watched Caster straighten and smile at Penelope before offering her his elbow. She blushed prettily and took the offered elbow with both small hands. As he waited for her to turn, he lifted his head and stared right past her much shorter form. When his ice blue gaze met mine, I felt a pang of longing run through me. As our gazes met, I thought I recognized a similar look in his eyes but just as quickly as it had appeared, it was gone, replaced with the dark glare he now wore. I trembled in Claudio’s hold, and he crushed my fingers in his hand just as Caster dragged his gaze from mine and turned away, leading his bride into the house.

“Breathe, Emory. It’s over,” Claudio whispered.

I gasped, suddenly feeling so lightheaded, I thought for sure I’d faint. I looked over at him and recognized the pitying expression he wore on his face. I nodded.

“I’m fine. I’m…good.” My lower lip trembled, and my eyes filled with tears, belying my words.
