Before starting the read I checked if I can read it as a standalone, as Night of the Billionaire Wolf is book 3 in Billionaire Wolf and set in the whole world of Heart of the Wolf (book 29 as far as I found out). Here we have a usual trope, with a turn that a heroine is a billionaire and the guy is security. I think I had felt somehow the plot was disjointed - but the author provided us with some info in the end. I'm not sure if it's the case of third-person POV as usually, it makes it harder for me to get into the plot.
Lexi is a successful billionaire that had a rough past - her dad is under a protection program (so no contact etc.) and her mother is dead, unfortunately. Oh and I forgot to mention she's a werewolf! Right now she has to go a little bit undercover as a bad guy put a target on her back and then she's meeting another protagonist - Ryder. And she fell for him but she has some issues that will be explained in the book. This will give us a slow-burn relationship that will have to overcome quite a few hardships.
Overall I did not enjoy this story which is a shame, as I had craved a PNR story, but it was not "it" so I will have to look for the other book to fill this gap.

I agree with some of the other reviewers Night of the Billionaire Wolf starts off slow, but it gets better as the storyline progresses. It's a paranormal romance and the third book in the series.

This story felt slow in the beginning. I liked the characters and I have read previous books and it was nice to read about some of them.

I love a good spinoff or sub-series from an author with the skill to interweave, but still keep storylines separated, and Terry Spear is one of the great ones. The long-running Heart of the Wolf series has had a few little sub-series now and this one revolving around wolves that have become immensely rich is seriously fun, especially this time since the wolf in question is female. Lexi has gotten lucky with her cosmetics line and is doing very well for herself, but with that prestige and wealth comes many drawbacks, not the least of which is the loss of privacy and the money hungry male wolves that are forever trying to make her their mate. When she ventures into the wild for a vacation, with an ulterior motive of trying to get a message from her estranged father, she never imagined she would run into a sexy and sweet wolf in the woods. Ryder is on a break from his bodyguard gig with one of his buds in the beauty of nature when he comes across two sexy she-wolves trying to rescue bear cubs. Determined to keep them safe he soon finds himself not only roped into a mystery but seriously attracted to the sexy Lexi, despite her pushing him away constantly. IT doesn’t that much for them both to begin to wonder if the feelings they have could lead to a mating, but they have to get past the obstacles they face before they even have a chance to decide if they are feeling love or just excitement. Ryder was a sweetheart through and through and seeing him being so playful and loving with Lexi even when she was kind of bitchy made him even cooler in my opinion. He is definitely a protective alpha wolf, but he obviously knows how to let others lead as well and he shows again and again that he has no interest in Lexi for anything other than her sweet and sexy nature. Lexi had her moments where I just had to wonder what the hell she was thinking, but overall she was a great character. She stood up for what she believed in and refused to let herself be taken advantage of, to the point she almost gave up on the love of her life , but in the end she came to her senses thankfully. The passion between these two took a bit of a backseat to the sweetness and fun that they really both needed in their lives and of course there was a lot of intrigue and plot-twisting in this story. I loved getting to know all the side characters a bit better too and hope to see them in future stories. All-in-all a sweet and funny read for any fan of Terry’s or anyone that loves a good wolf romance.

There is a lot going on-her "dead" parents, the mobster, mating, make up parties, catty competition...it was just a lot. The story seemed to jump at parts and I had check to see if I accidentally skipped a page. It just felt choppy at times.

However, I enjoyed the characters and the intrigue of how all this craziness would pan out.

I liked the characters and the supporting characters were great as well! I hope her assistant gets a book of her own soon!

Emotionally thrilling, sexy, exciting and action packed journey filled with magical and dangerous charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. Was a edge of your seat read from beginning to end.

I loved how Ryder swooped in to help rescue the cubs without thinking about it. The chemistry between Lexi and Ryder was believable and the storyline was good. This was my first book in this series but not the last!

Lexi Summerfield is on a mission to get in contact with her father. Ryder Gallagher is on vacation. A chance meeting to help bear cubs in danger. It’ll bring these two wolves together on an adventure of their lives. Will he change her mind about her three-limit date rule? Can she find the father everyone believes is dead? What happens when these two works together with their friends to survive the danger to find love? They’ll need to rely on each other to survive The Night of the Billionaire Wolf.

Terry Spear continues the Billionaire Wolves series with a unique take with a woman in charge and with the power and money. With danger following her and an intrusive reporter on her heels she must risk her life for a person she loves. A rescue mission brings to people meant to be together. Danger, suspense combines to bring these characters to a point they can find love and realize they are meant for each other. A story that has surprises and danger that you won’t be able to put down. Terry Spear at her very best, and a favorite author of mine. Looking forward to the next book in this series and any other she’s working on. Stay in for a Night with the Billionaire Wolf

I’ll begin by saying that I’ve yet to read a Terry Spear book that I didn’t enjoy – sure, some I loved, others I liked, but I’ve always felt at home in her created world that connects in many series through several unique characters. ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ is another story that quickly caught my attention and held it throughout Lexi’s and Ryder’s adventures in danger, laughter, banter, and falling in love. Although this is the third title in the ‘Billionaire Wolf’ series within the overall ‘Heart of the Wolf’ series/world it could be read on its own for any background you might need is given when it makes sense for the story. I would recommend them all for they are great stories, but if this is your first one then sit back and enjoy.

It’s not often that we encounter female billionaires, so Lexi’s fortune, her hard work, and the price she’s paid in so many ways brought a fresh feel to this story. Unfortunately, Lexi is being followed by a load of trouble and annoyances in the form of paparazzi, a crazy stalking reporter, and true danger from those who would harm her in order to get to her father. Wealth comes with downsides, especially in personal relationships when never knowing (or finding out late) when someone is interested in Lexi or Lexi’s money comes into play – and into the wall that she’s built around her emotions. Watching Ryder slowly, steadily tear down those walls was such fun to experience.

We run into old book friends, meet some interesting new characters, discover twists and turns galore, and experience wealth from a slightly different point of view. I enjoyed ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ very much. There were moments that made me smile, some tension-filled moments, times I laughed out loud, and always the sexy moments that steam up the e-reader. I had fun, and that’s the point. If you love a good Shifter or Paranormal Romance with a bit of Romantic Suspense then give ‘Night of the Billionaire Wolf’ a shot – you may end up with a new series to devour.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from Sourcebooks Casablanca 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.*

The third book in Billionaire Wolf, Night of the Billionaire is a paranormal romance and tells the story of Lexi and Ryder. I like this story, the characters were great, but I did feel there was unnecessary repetition in parts. I will read more of this series and by this author

NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is the third instalment in Terry Spear’s contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRE paranormal romance series, and the twenty-ninth instalment in the author’s HEART OF THE WOLF series. This is wolf shifters billionaire business woman Lexi Summerfield, and security specialist Ryder Gallagher’s story line. NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Lexi and Ryder) NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF follows several paths including the building romance and relationship between wolf shifters billionaire business woman Lexi Summerfield, and security specialist Ryder Gallagher. Lexi Summerfield made her billions in the cosmetic industry but with her father in the witness protection program, and her mother dead in a fiery crash, Lexi found herself the target of Joe Tremaine, a very powerful man, the man her father witnessed murder the DA in cold blood. A few days of R&R with her PA and bodyguard Kate, Lexi would come face to face with wolf shifter and security specialist Ryder Gallagher, the wolf with whom Lexi will fall in love but Lexi struggles with issues of trust believing every man, human or wolf, is after he money, and in this Lexi is reluctant to reveal anything about herself. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Lexi and Ryder, as the couple, along with Kate and Ryder’s partner Mike, find themselves on a treasure hunt, hoping to find the clues, leading to information about our heroine’s father.

Meanwhile, Don Morgan, a paparazzi reporter continues to stalk our story line heroine, a reporter who finds himself caught in the middle when men are sent to take down Lexi Summerfield. Joe Tremaine is desperate to find the location of Lexi’s father, and the continuous barrage of gunmen and assassins he has sent to find Lexi, all will meet their final demise.

The relationship between Lexi and Ryder is slow to develop. Ryder is definitely interested in making Lexi his mate but Lexi’s cold veneer and distant attitude leaves something to be desired. Lexi finds herself on the receiving end of one too many dates and proposals, and in this, ‘dating’ Ryder Gallagher is just another potential male to add to her pile. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text but I struggled to feel any palpable sexual attraction-there were no romantic or discernable emotional ‘feels’ , and a barely perceptible acknowledgement of interest or sexual desire from our story line heroine until seventy-five per-cent of the story wherein Lexi asks Ryder to be her mate…that’s it….no romance, no chemistry, no seduction…only a few kisses…until this particular part of the story. At one point I thought the story was going to focus on Ryder and Kate, or Mike and Kate.


We are introduced to Lexi’s father physician Dr. Kurt and her paediatrician mother Dr. Adelaide Summerfield; Lexi’s PA and bodyguard Kate Hanover; Ryder’s friend and fellow security specialists Mike Stallings and Edward Manning: as well as numerous characters from the author’s Silver Town Wolves (Heart of the Wolf series) including Lelandi and Darien Silver.

NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is an engaging story of family , friendships, and vengeance but once again, there is too much telling, not enough showing and plenty of unnecessary and redundant repetition which added to the already slow building story line. The slow building romance is tender; the characters are spirited and energetic. Sadly, this is not one of my favorites.

An interesting and fast-paced shifter story. There's a mystery, danger, a few laughs, and some steamy smexy-times. I really enjoyed the MCs,Lexi and Ryder, and thought they were great together. It was also fun to see characters from another of Ms. Spear's series in this book.
Overall, a fun read.

Thank you to the publisher, Sourcebooks, and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.

Review featured at www.books-n-kisses.com

3.5 Hearts All in all this is a good read. So many books have the man be the rich one but in this one Lexi is the Billionaire and Ryder is a shifter who is hired to be her bodyguard.

The story was typical of Spear and her shifter books. The problem is that you can only write so many books before the same story is played out over and over. And having read a lot of her books I feel like it is nothing we haven’t read before. I like the way that Spear writes which is why I keep getting her books but I sure wish she would head to a different genre for a bit.

Now that being said the characters of Lexi and Ryder are good together and the romance is good as well. Another good read from Spear.

Disclaimer:
I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow this book was just so good and so easy to get lost in. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I just didn't want it to end. I just couldn't get enough of these wonderful characters and I just loved getting to see their journey. I will most definitely be reading more stories from this wonderful author.

This is a fast paced story that takes off from the very beginning and follows through to the end. This is my first book by terry Spear and I really enjoyed it!

The MC Lexi is a strong character and she is well developed. I loved the dynamics that Ryder brings to the story and they have great banter and interactions. This is a fun fast read and a great book to try if you like a good shifter romance.

I received this book from NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an honest review.

NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is the third book in Terry Spear’s “Billionaire Wolf” series. The billionaire in this story is werewolf and mogul Lexi Summerfield, creator of Clair de Lune Cosmetics. This is a tangled tale involving all sorts of assassins and hired goons looking to take out Lexi and her family members. A chance encounter, while out in the woods searching for her father, brings bodyguard and good-natured hunky werewolf Ryder Gallagher into her life. Terry Spear balances the action and danger associated with being on the run from bad guys, and the expected kinks to work out in a new relationship when one person has more money and status than the other. For me, the mix works, and NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE is both entertaining and exciting.

Drug lord Joe Tremaine killing somebody, and Lexi’s father witnessing it and subsequently having to go into the Witness Protection Program is a catalyst for everything that happens in this story. Under normal circumstances, Redwood National Park would make for a beautiful and peaceful backdrop for a story about friends getting together and a new romance blossoming. Unfortunately for Lexi, her life is more complicated than that. She’s there with her bodyguard/personal assistant Kate to pick up a message from her father. The arrival of hired thugs, and a nosy reporter, keeping tabs on her makes things ten times more difficult. While I don’t normally go looking for novels with a lot of suspense, there is some comfort in the fact that Lexi and Kate are both werewolves and capable of adequately defending themselves against the human bad guys. When Lexi first meets Ryder, she thinks he’s hot, but possibly another complication she doesn’t need. Previously the men interested in her have been more interested in her money than anything else. Over the course of the book, Ryder proves the strength of his character and the depth of his attraction to Lexi. Rather than the stereotypical arguments when a female character has more many or a higher status than the hero, both characters are pragmatic and amiable. All the good guys work as a team to defeat the bad guys.

NIGHT OF THE BILLIONAIRE WOLF is a thrilling tale of fierce werewolves fighting the bad guys for love and family. This book has amusing vignettes that lighten things up a little in between all the shootouts and intrigue. I look forward to hopefully one day reading stories about characters like Kate and Mike in future books.

Another satisfying read from Terry Spear! If you are not already a fan of her shifter wolves, you need to read this book and it will convert you. This lovely read is set in Terry Spear's existing world, but is the beginning of a new series. Lexi is a billionaire with a complicated life and a father in witness protection. We get to follow her life dealing with ruthless business competitors right along with her romance that begins with a rescue of baby bears!

I really enjoyed this book!!! Lexi & Ryder were perfect together and I loved all their friends & family!! It was a great story and kept me hooked!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

What a fun book with Lexi, she-wolf with no clan, trying to keep away from hit men that were trying to capture her before killing her, if they could get her to tell where her father was hiding. When she goes to find a message from her father, she meets Ryder and he is definitely a possibility for a mate.

Along the way, there is a lot of action as they are on the run from thugs, a crazy paparazzi, and has to figure out why Lexi's company is getting negative reviews from a disgruntled Silky,Springs. Also, there is a surprise when Lexi meets up with her father.

It was great that the book included so many from previous books - we get to go to Silver Town and the Silver pack, there is an appearance from the doctors that came up with the cure for the wolf longevity issue, and there were several mentions of Derek Spencer. I don't remember him so I will have to go back to previous books, or maybe he will be in a future book??

Looking forward to the next books in the series because I want to know who Kate is thinking is mate-worthy!!

This is a whirlwind romance with thrills, twists and intrigue. Lexi certainly knows her own mind. Ryder brings a lot to the story. Enjoyed the dialogue and personalities in this story. Silky ended up being more than I thought. It's a great book to escape into.
