Sexy, sassy and downright entertaining. Suzanne Wright is a master storyteller and she’s once again delivered!

I wholeheartedly adore the Phoenix Pack and Mercury Pack series, so as soon as I finished Lure of Oblivion, I couldn’t wait to read Wild Hunger! And I won’t lie, I’ve been checking to see when it would be available on NetGalley every day for over a month and the closer to its release date, I checked several times a day — I was that excited. I’m sure that you can imagine there was some squealing and jumping up and down when I finally got it and that the moment it hit my kindle, I dove in. It was a long, somewhat torturous wait for Wild Hunger, but it was all worth the wait — I absolutely loved it!

I loved Frankie from the very first and to the very last. Frankie is calm, cool, and rational, she’s not the type to react first and then think later. She’s down-to-earth and has humorous quirks and she’s really just a boss. Frankie might be calm, but she’s incredibly strong and fierce and she can hold her own. Frankie is truly a gem and I completely loved her!

Just like with any Suzanne Wright hero, I absolutely loved Trick! He’s definitely my kind of hero with his possessive, protective rawness and I couldn’t get enough. I loved his rougher dark side and I loved how patient and understanding Trick was with Frankie. He doesn’t rush her or pressure her, he’s just there for her. He’s sweet and teasing and fun and I loved all of him. Trick stole my heart and I know he’ll steal yours!

I enjoyed every minute of reading Wild Hunger. It was exciting and entertaining and fun, but it also broke my heart and made my eyes sting with tears. It made me laugh and smile and sigh. It got my heart pounding, captured my complete attention, and had me turning the pages as fast as I could. Wild Hunger was so wonderful, I positively loved it, and I can’t wait for the next book!

Wild Hunger is the seventh book in the Phoenix Pack series and can be read as a standalone. It’s told from Trick and Frankie’s POV and they do get their happily-ever-after.

~ A Hopeless Romantic’s Booklandia, 5 Stars

Wild Hunger is the seventh book of The Phoenix Pack. Shifter fans will be thrilled to return to the Phoenix Pack. Frankie Newman is a half–wolf shifter who has been lied to her entire life by her human grandparents. When her shifter family seeks her out, she reluctantly meets them. When the truth of her past is revealed, she is determined to get to know her shifter family. Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, is instantly drawn to Frankie. Knowing that he doesn't want to scare her, he takes his time letting her know that she is his mate. As the two begin to bond, sparks fly and they cannot resist each other.

Told in dual POV, Wild Hunger offers another steamy shifter read full of alpha males who love and protect their females. Frankie is a complex character who has been through so much. The way in which she bonds with Trick offers her healing and peace like she has never experienced before. The connection between the two certainly did not disappoint!

Overall, Wild Hunger will certainly appeal to Wright fans. It appears that no matter how many books are released, I can never get enough! I am looking forward to more pack love to come!

Wright is one of the few remaining authors in PNR whose books are autobuys/lookups for me and my patrons. This series, and its author, continue to deliver wonderful characters and storylines.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ out of 5
I have missed paranormal romances SO MUCH and this gave me the fix I desperately needed! It was a hot book with werewolves- not sure what anyone really needs in life other than this.........
.
The book is set in a world where shifters are definitely out of the closet shall we say and mostly accepted by humans- enough that they live side by side. The story starts out with our heroine (half werewolf) receiving an email from a so called aunt to say that our heroine’s grandmother is dying and would love to meet her before she passes- the kicker though is that she has no knowledge of her father’s side of the family after her maternal parents took her in when her father killed his mate then himself. When she finds out her grandparents lied about her other family she goes ahead and meets them. Enter our hero- who comes as support/bodyguard to the meet up and straight away he knows he has found his true mate- she is his end of story. What follows is the heroine finding her family, her pack and of course LOVE ❤️
.
I really liked both MCs- the heroine is alpha herself and has slight bitch tendencies that make me want to high 5 her 😂, and the hero- who doesn’t love an alpha male who knows what he wants with absolutely no commitment issues. She is it for him and he is ready for that 2 seconds in to recognising her as his true mate, no denying the bond just absolutely ready (I find this so refreshing in comparison to books where everyone is always fighting their feelings). The only thing that was a bit off for me is the references to the hero’s past that had everyone thinking he was gay and it wasn’t explored enough in my opinion in this book (I’m assuming it was in the previous books in the series that I haven’t read). Overall an awesome paranormal read and I definitely want to check out the rest of the series.

Love this series from Ms. Wright. The characters are always fun and engaging and the first-time are off the charts hawt!

This story featured Trick and Francesca (Frankie). I liked the two of them together and, although there wasn't a lot of the usual angst and drama about whether or not they were fated mates, there was still plenty of heat along with some danger and suspense. I was a little surprised at who Trick's mate was, I thought he would be in a menage relationship (since it's well known he liked both makes and females). Still though, I quite enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one.
Note: although this book is a stand-alone, I recommend reading the other books in the series for maximum enjoyment.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley but my thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

Whenever I’m craving paranormal shifters, The Phoenix Pack always hits just the right spot. Wild Hunger was a fun and sexy return to the pack I’ve come to love over the last six books, and a beautiful look into Frankie and Trick’s love story. In exploring the difficulties in growing up without associating with your kind, Wright took a strong female suffering through a sense of abandonment and gave her the agency to find what she’d been missing. That it so happened to come with a man who supported and cared for her was just a bonus—but boy, did they go together well. There were elements of suspense, mystery, and a lot of romance, and I enjoyed every aspect and gobbled it up quickly.

My Opinion

The truth has been hidden from Frankie her entire life. Her father killed her mother, her human grandparents raised her. They told her that her parents died in a car crash. Away from her pack she has been raised as a lone wolf. Imagine the shock and surprise when the truth is revealed. Holy cowzers! Trick finds his mate right off and he recognizes her right away. There is no games, just him making sure that his mate is safe, secure and sound. Let the courting begin!

Coming from a wealthy family Frankie doesn’t need to work. As an artist though, she makes a killing. Her work is always dark, frighteningly so which is a reflection of her background. So when she finds out what she saw when she was three everything begins to make sense. Trick understands that she is going through emotional baggage and he really just wants to be there for her. His reaction to her, his ability to pick up on what it is that she needs is spot on and frankly just adorable.

Frankie knows that things aren’t adding up. Why would her daddy murder her momma? Did it really happen the way she was told. On top of that someone is threatening the pack that Trick belongs to. The pack that has taken her under their wing. Is she in danger?

Wild Hunger is full of passion, patience and love. The suspense aspect of the story and Frankie trying so desperately to remember gives the story a sense of urgency. Trick really is the perfect match for her.

Sometimes you find an author and you just like their writing style. You love their stories and you would read anything they wrote. Yes, even a book on how to program some computer game because you know you just know that there will be a female character that you could love in it, a male character that is gonna go all alpha male on you and a romance that will make you swoon. Suzanne Wright is one of those authors for me. I will one-click anything she writes.

My Rating 5 out of 5 stars

Lydia- Frankie’s aunt

I have followed The Phoenix Pack series since the first book, and Wild Hunger only reinforces why I’ve loved this series so much. The Phoenix Pack, The Mercury Pack … this is why Paranormal Shifter Romance is my favorite genre, for the stories, the characters, the connections just like this.

Trick has been a favorite since the beginning. He always gave off the impression that he was content to search for and wait for his fated, true mate. And his wait paid off with Frankie. While she hadn’t been brought up in pack life, Frankie still understood the strong reaction to Trick. She had a past to figure out, a pack to understand, and there is certainly danger heading her way… but Trick is there for her and with her. There’s no “maybe we are, maybe we shouldn’t” there’s simply mates and life moves on. I appreciated that Trick and Frankie got to spend the time to know each other. She’d been ripped from the pack at such a tender age and now she’s learning so much it’s almost overwhelming. Trick is confident in his true mate, and he will defend, protect and love her until his dying day… and beyond. It’s just a known thing and that speaks volumes in this particular genre.

There are some twists and turns, some old friends to catch up with and simply a very good Shifter love story. If you love Shifter Romance, then you’ll want to get your hands on Wild Hunger. I’d definitely recommend this story and entire series to any Paranormal Romance or Shifter Romance reader who love a good story, a solid plot, likable and relatable characters, secondary characters to bring the book to life and nasty villains to defeat. Yeah, Wild Hunger is an excellent addition to The Phoenix Pack series.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I freaking loved Trick, he’s the perfect alpha male. Strong, and protective.He make me swoon and his bonding with the heroine is one of the best! I really liked Frankie, she is funny and at times sweet!Overall, it was another fantastic story to this series!

Wild Hunger by Suzanne Wright is book Seven in The Phoenix Pack series. This is the story of Frankie Newman and Trick Hardy. I haven't yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Frankie who was once a part of pack but after the traumatic death of her mother and Father. Her human family came for her and she has lived as a human. But after getting a email she goes back to help solve what she can't remember that happened during that awful time. The she meets Trick again and their is a instant attraction between them. Trick of course starts to see that Frankie is his true mate but he has to move slowly with her.
Exciting read...makes me need to go read the other books!!

I honestly love everything I read by this author, so no big surprise that this book also fits that bill. This is the 7th book in the Phoenix Pack series and I would recommend reading them in order.

This is Trick's story. I have been waiting to see where and who he would end up with. Trick is very much a love the one your with type of guy. But these are shifters after all. True mates trump all other romps. Trick has been waiting his whole life to find his mate. Imagine his surprise when someone from his past turns up and she is the ONE.

Frankie has been lied to by her human relatives her whole life. This book is her journey into finding out the truth about who she is. In the process, she finds a whole new family--her Pack. Loved how Trick has so much patience for her. Loved the humor, loved the action and WHEW! The chemistry with these two was fantastic!

It was great to catch up with the other couples from the series as well as the wolves in the Mercury Pack. Looking forward to reading more. Great addition to the series.

This is a great addition to the Phoenix Pack series.

Frankie is a half shifter wolf who was reared by her maternal grandparents after witnessing her parents deaths when she was 3 or 4. She is not connected to a pack, and her relationship with her grandparents is up and down. Out of the blue, she receives an email from a paternal relative that starts a snowball effect. Everything she knows will be challenged.

I enjoyed Trick's and Frankie's story. I did not want to put the book down. The secondary conflict did not detract from the story. It felt like life, I liked that Frankie wasn't rude or naive. She pieced things together and used common sense . I enjoyed seeing a different side of Trick. Trick compliments Frankie and their relationship shows it. It was nice to see both packs interacting again. Its always nice to see the old characters and find out what has happened to them.

I would recommend this book and series. I think you could read this book as a stand alone, but reading the series will give you background information about each characters trials.

Title: Wild Hunger
Series: Phoenix Pack Book #7
Stand Alone Title: yes, though recommended in order
Author: Suzanne Wright
Genre: Romance, Paranormal
Blurb: When half–wolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didn’t know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her mother…and then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her mother’s human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that she’s been lied to her entire life, she’s never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friend—warmly familiar and intoxicating.
Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the rush of mutual attraction when he sees Frankie again. He knows immediately that she’s his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with care—no matter how fierce his surging desires.
As aroused as Frankie is by Trick’s darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her past—not her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankie’s life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, it’s their destiny.
Favorite quote(s): “I’m going to take you. Possess you. F%$k you so hard you’ll never want anyone else. And when we’re done, I’ll do it again.”
Thoughts: Suzanne Wright is one of the authors that I automatically read whatever comes out by her. From Feral Sins (book one) and on, I have LOVED this series. I enjoyed Wild Hunger as we;;, though it wasn’t my favorite in the series. Trick was a bit to dominating and uber-bossy for me….and I am the one quick to state that a little roughness and domination is to be expected in shifter books. It’s werewolves. They have an animal side. I get it. But, wow, did Trick push all my buttons….I would have been defiant just for the sake of being defiant with this guy. I’ve always loved Trick, and for the most part he was great in this book, but he had moments where he just hit me the wrong way, particularly during sexy scenes. But it didn’t bother Frankie, who was an awesome character, and that’s what matters. They fit each other.
Overall, a good story and another strong addition by Wright.

Suzanne Wright is one of my favorite authors! She is one of the authors that I 1-click always regardless of what she writes. Like most of her fans I discovered her through The Phoenix Pack. This series has been and remains one of my all-time favorite series and every book is great. This is a stand alone but I would suggest that you start at the beginning of the series. It will help with understanding each of the characters. Although that is not necessary at all.

Trick has been a character that I was uncertain of. I didn’t understand him until now. This book explains so much about Trick and why he never had a problem scratching his itch with anyone he wanted to.

Trick knew Frankie as children and when his pack mate (Frankie’s aunt ) asks her to come and visit Trick is certain that Frankie is his mate. In fact, I am pretty sure that Trick knew it always but because she was so young it didn’t register. He doesn’t have anything “clogging” his mate frequency. That is discussed in other books and it is this thing that allows mates to recognize one another.

For Frankie she has spent her life being raised by humans. Humans that hate shifters since Frankie’s shifter father killed her human mother. Frankie has always felt a bit out of place and now she has the chance to find out what happened to her parents. What drove her father to not only kill her mother but kill himself as well.

I loved Frankie as a character. She is strong because she needs to be but there an innocence about her that makes her endearing. She is trying so hard to find out what happened and find herself. At the same time she is coming to terms with her shifter family and learning to be Trick’s mate.

Trick, as said, confused me but in the end he was much more than I ever thought him to be. Before I saw him as the guy would was up for a good time yet could be serious if he needed to be. There is a darkness to him though that he never showed before. I loved it and I loved the way he just knew that Frankie was his. He didn’t go through or deal with the doubt the way any of the other guys had up to this point.

I will say that I surprised as to what really happened with her parents and who was behind everything. The way things came out was perfect. It was heart-pounding and kept me on the edge of my seat. Who would survive? Would the bad guys get theirs?

As always the ladies of the book have a field day teasing Greta who in turn argues with them all right back. In truth I am more than certain that she loves each and every one of them. However she doesn’t want to appear too tender hearted. It would go against the tough image she presents.

All in all this was the perfect installment of this series and I can’t wait for the next one. Of course I am eagerly awaiting Dominic’s book simple because I know it will be the one that will do me in. He is too much of a flirt to not be given a phenomenal book.

The Phoenix Pack is back and as usual with this series, Wild Hunger packs quite a punch. Trick and Frankie are two very strong and captivating characters that easily draw readers into their story and then holds them hostage with a very intense and wildly exciting courtship. The romance is on the sweet side with some blistering chemistry that has passions burning hot with blazing hot love scenes. But the relationship has quite a few obstacles to be overcome before this mating bond can kick in with quite a bit of emotional angst involved which has readers sympathizing with Trick and Frankie, especially since this coupe is easy to connect to.

This fast paced story not only keeps readers in suspense regarding their relationship but of the outlying problems that put a damper on their relationship but the dangers and problems facing them get the adrenaline pumping and makes them hold on the edge of their seats with anticipation and thrills. Frankie’s past throws the couple as well as the packs for a loop when it comes back to bite her and Trick is the target of a psycho shifter due to an enemy that quite frankly I found to be dangerous but weird and stupid as well, I mean why would work with someone that would destroy you for no reason? Surprising twists and unforeseen betrayals keep readers guessing and the thrills coming so there is never a dull moment to be found in this read.

Wild Hunger is wild and intense and I was completely lost in the book from the very beginning so I just had to keep turning the pages until I had read every last one. I think Bracken’s book is next and just let me say that I really, really can’t wait to read it, I just have to know if he’s going to be able to overcome the tragedy that torments him. (Note: Bracken’s book will be the 4th Mercury Pack book)

I have really been looking forward to Trick's book but to be honest I also thought he'd end up with a male mate. However, I ended up loving him with Frankie and I like the way his bisexuality wasn't just swept under the carpet but talked about between Frankie and Trick. I know some people have a problem with Suzanne Wright's shifter books as they have a bit of a formula (as do many PNR books) but it works for me and I like it a lot. I know I'm going to get a very Alpha male hero who is dominant, sexy, protective and yet supportive of his mate. He'll probably be a bit OTT dominant when it comes to sex, and there will be plenty of hot sex. The female will be tough as well and yes she'll make fun of Greta in the same way all the other females do. She won't be TSTL and she'll have some type of "issue" or danger to face.

This book followed that formula but it was still fun, action packed, sexy and entertaining and different enough from the previous books that I really enjoyed it. I loved that Trick knew right away that Frankie was his mate and it didn't take her long to figure it out either. I loved that they didn't fight the fact that they were mates but they also didn't mate right away. Trick gave Frankie plenty of time/space to deal with all the things/changes happening in her life and to get to know him by spending time together and dating. It made the romance so much more believable and sweet.

I like knowing that when I pick up a shifter book by Suzanne Wright I'm going to be entertained. I like knowing I'm going to like the characters and they won't do something so stupid I want to throw my kindle across the room. I like knowing there will be a hot romance and a plot that ties everything together. What can I say I like this series and Wild Hunger was another wonderful book.

I feel like every time a Suzanne Wright book comes out I jump on it! All of her books are an absolute must read! Though her last few Phoenix Pack/Mercury Pack books have just been okay for me. But I did still enjoy it to some extent. Now this was Trick's book. Now Trick wants to find his mate. Actually he is a little impatient and seeing almost all his pack members finding their mates is really making him wish he could find his.

Now his mate, Frankie was actually someone he used to know. She was in their previous pack along with most of the pack mates, but her parents were murdered and her maternal grandparents took her away never to be seen again. To be honest, I don't always like the mates, I thought Trick and Frankie were just okay. And most of Wright's book are mostly the same expect different characters backgrounds, which I don't mind, because I do love her books.

It's just some characters I love more than some. And I just didn't have a strong connection to Trick and Frankie. Like I said, they were just okay. I always enjoy the overbearing alpha, asshole lovers/parents, shifter relationship themes in her books. Now one though I had was Trick was bisexual, and Oh.my.god. This is just me and my fan-girl self talking, but I would love at one point if we had a book about a gay couple. Again, me and my fan-girl self talking. Now I believe we have one final pack mate without a mate, Dominic. His book should be interesting. Hehe!

I love paranormal romance and this book takes it to a whole new level. It evolves into a love story with a sense of intrigue that keeps you breathless. Then the wolf comes out and the sensuality is mind blowing. Suzanne Wright writes from an approach not only to thrill her fans but to make new ones with each installment in this series.

Frankie and Trick’s story was good but I felt it was a little too easy. In the sense that their romance had a lot of obstacles come up that could have created a bit of drama and angst but also opportunity to strengthen their bond but didn’t because the MCs were just really laid back and understanding of each other. Which isn’t really a complaint but I guess I was expecting some emotional conflict to stand out for me.
