If not for a heads-up from a reading buddy, I wouldn't have read Charlie Adhara's Big Bad Wolf series. It just wasn't on my radar. And what a mistake that would have been as it's quickly become one of my favorites.

It just wasn't on my radar. And what a mistake that would have been as it's quickly become one of my favorites. Wolf In Sheep's Clothing is the fourth book of this fantastic series . . . a unique and intriguing blend of paranormal, male/male romance, and mystery suspense. I love that the author devotes special attention to each element - mixing the ingredients to produce the perfect cocktail for readers - one that delivers a potent reading buzz both relationship and case wise. While you can read any of these books as a standalone, the overall character and relationship development emerges slowly as an over-all story and series arc. I advise reading the series in order of release.

Picking up soon after the close of the previous book, Wolf In Sheep's Clothing finds Cooper and Oliver house hunting, and it quickly becomes obvious that these two opposites have different ideas about what constitutes the "perfect house". The banter between these guys is perfection and so much fun - full of snark, wit and snazz. An unexpected phone call from Cooper's former BSI superior raises concerns about a wolf-shifter who disappeared while working as a ground's keeper at a wolf-oriented couple's retreat, and it brings a halt to their house hunting plans much to Cooper's relief. Oliver and Cooper are sent undercover posing as a couple seeking counseling to search for information about the missing wolf. A wide variety of characters are introduced that I found a bit hard to keep straight; however, they provide a unique pool of possible villains that kept me guessing and also serve to introduce more of the previously unknown wolf-lore which I loved. As the story unfolds, the twisted plot lines intertwine and begin to reveal connections, truths, and hidden pasts and dangers resulting in a story that I couldn't put down. A storm is brewing both literally and figuratively . . . who will survive?

Adhara's writing flows in a hypnotic manner that quickly drew me in, holding me entranced. The pace elevates steadily in correlation with the growing suspense throughout. The author's unique blend of paranormal, mystery and suspense is enhanced by multi-dimensional characters whose development is ongoing and highly addictive. Cooper and Oliver wear their disguises well, especially when survival hinges on them trusting one another completely with everything. As much as I love the suspense in this story, it's the character relationship development that held me bewitched through all four books. Oh! Did I forget to mention the insane, overwhelming, all-consuming chemistry between this big bad wolf and hardcore human? Shame on me! I'll just say don't stand too close because the heat is scorching hot! Adhara brilliantly renders another story of two strong yet vulnerable men exploring a male/male relationship they're absolutely powerless to control in the middle of a chaotic case. Oh the emotional turmoil! I enjoyed every single minute of it and can't wait for book 5 rumored to be coming in 2021! If you're a fan of paranormal romance, read this book. If you're a fan of male/male romance, read this book! If you're a fan of mystery suspense, read this book! I highly advise everyone to grab the Big Bad Wolf series and carve out some alone reading time because you're entering binge-reading territory, my friends. Enjoy!

*A special thank you to HARLEQUIN-Carina Press for an arc of this book!

I was so happy that we got another book in this series & in fact we have another one coming out soo. Cooper is having a hard time to terms with Oliver purchasing a home for them and it appears that all the ones they are looking at are rather mansions instead of homes. I can kind of understand why Oliver wants a big home, he is a rather large wolf and he needs room to roam. It is so apparent when he shifts in the apartment and is pacing in the tiny bedroom. Cooper doesn't realize how tough this i ...more
