Emma is the much-younger sister of the Salvation pack Alpha. She is definitely the baby of the family and one of the last unmated wolf of her generation within the pack. She went on a solo trip to figure somethings out and hopefully dispose of her virginity - but found a whole lot of nothing. When she heads back early - an old enemy of her father tried to run her car off the road and kidnap her. His plans? To force her to mate with his son. The son in question, Dmitri, wants nothing to do with his father's plans. But he tries to stop them and save Emma anyway. What he didn't count on was his strong attraction to Emma.

While this isn't an insta-love situation - it might as well be. It is definitely a fated-mate type of book. It definitely works - and Dmitri and Emma are really too sweet together (and sexy - but a lot sweet). I appreciated how much care Dmitri gave to Emma even when he didn't really want to.

I'd give this book a very strong 3.5 stars. For me - Emma came across as very young. She's 25 and definitely the baby of the family - but she felt more like 18.

Overall -I recommend this book and this second generation series of the Salvation pack.

Emma and Dmitri

What a great story to end the series on, even if I didn't want to see this series comes to an end! Dmitri is alpha and protective and just what Emma needs. Their chemistry is hot and steamy, and they come to rely on each other as the odds stack up. Tons of action and suspense to keep you invested in the story and make this romance adventure well-rounded.

This book can be read as a standalone, but the entire series is so good that it's worth it to read them all. Looking forward to the book series N.J. Walters is going to come up with next! Well done and highly recommended!

I received an advanced review copy of this book from Evernight Publishing via Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I am so glad that I discovered this author. This is a spinoff of the original Salvation series which I have not read yet, but this spin off features the children of the first series. Salvation's alpha's baby sister Emma is nearly kidnapped by the vengeful alpha of their previous pack. Dmitri wants no parts of his father's revenge and rescues Emma. He feels a strong connection with Emma but fights it because his priority is to keep her safe. Emma does what she can to try and get back to the safety of her pack but also feels a connection to Dmitri and sees him as a protector. I loved this story, some steam but lots of action. Dmitri is extremely strong and could be an alpha of his own pack and Emma is the over protected sister of the alpha but has her own strength. A strong paranormal romance with plenty of steam and action. Highly recommend.

Emma Matheson is on her way home when she is forced off the road and on the run. The alpha of her father's previous pack has a vendetta, and he plans to use her to get his revenge. His plan? To force her to mate with his son. Dmitri Gribkov has no intention of doing what his father wants. He chose to be a loner in his father's pack, and he has no intention of doing anything his father wants. But he didn't plan on Emma, nor how attracted he would be to her. But he will do whatever he has to in order to protect her, even if that means his own death. The chemistry between them is off the charts, but they both have to decide if they want what they could have together-or do they walk away from it?

I'm sad that this is the last book in this offshoot series! I always get sucked into series books, and this series was no different! Emma is super sweet but she can also be tough when she needs to be. Her family has doted on her because she is the baby, but she isn't spoiled rotten. And her family made sure she was trained to protect herself even though they never thought she would need to know that. I loved her. I loved the fact that even though she is the baby, she kept the sweetness and light and didn't turn into a spoiled brat. Dmitri, boy this man. I felt so bad for the things he has been through. He is such a strong man but he still has this heart of gold, and you just know that is because of his Mom! I would love to see him truly make some kind of peace with his former pack, or at least the former best friend. The chemistry between these two is hotttt! And I loved how their story played out. But honestly, they both needed each other. They complimented each other in ways that you really don't see coming but it's beautiful! Like I said, I am sad it is ending but maybe we can have another off shoot with his former pack becoming what they should have been to begin with!

I like how Dimitri was able to follow his own sense of honour, despite what was forced on him or what others wanted him to become. He stood up for what was right, and didn't abide by those who thought bullying or betrayal of those smaller was appropriate. Finding family and acceptance is more than he thought he could ever hope for.

A bittersweet ending to the Salvation Pack next generation and also the original members. We see a lot more of Jacques in this book than we have for a while. Obviously, our crew doesn't know what to make of Dimitri and his place in Emma's life.
I liked the epilogue a lot with our original 5 discussing how things might change someday and being thankful for where they have come to be.

4 riveting stars!

Emma and Dmitri's story pulls you in and keeps you intrigued. I really enjoyed the story line.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

If you like shifter stories then you gotta read this. Action packed danger right from the start. Revenge, danger and steamy romance. Great read.

This is a spin off from the authors Salvation Pack series.
Romeo and Juliette have nothing on Emma and Dmitri. Dmitri wants no part of his fathers’ revenge against Emmas’ father. When the two meet Dmitri knows there is nothing his father can say or do to make him hurt her or her family. Through Emma he learns what family is supposed to be.
This is a sweet and sassy tale of a young woman determined to be seen and a man determined not to be judged by the actions of his father.

•Finding Home•

I wish I could give this more stars, because I loved everything about it. The story is told in such an incredibly well articulated way, I was hooked from the first page.

The dynamic and chemistry between Dmitri and Emma was one that reels you in with both being such strong characters with bold personalities. Dmitri in particular was a great character to read about as he had many layers to him and as the book goes on you see him go through different stages of learning about himself.

This has me so excited to read more in this series so I can read about the other members in the Salvation pack.

This is my first time reading NJ and it most certainly will not be my last. Wolf in the Night was everything. I mean shifters and romance, yes please. Dmitri was such a protective, alpha. I loved his backstory as well as the way he fights to keep Emma safe and win her heart. Emma was as independent as they come. She was trying to fight for the future she wanted. NJ definitely knows how to write sweet romance and fiery sexy scenes. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

Thank you NetGalley and Evernight Publishing for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

3.5/5 stars

Emma and Dmitri’s love story was a fun and fast paced read! I really enjoyed that Emma was an individual and thought for herself. She knew when she was being irrational and worked through it.

Dmitri was jaded and that really came through during the book. It was sweet how he wanted to protect Emma. It was also interesting learning about his back story and what made him the way he was.

I think the biggest plot hole for me was the wolf presence. They did have their wolves but didn’t seem really in sync with them. Along with that normally the wolf nature is more dominant and in this case it seemed that the human side was more dominant. It wouldn’t have felt so rushed for love if the wolf nature was called out or fought against more.

I also would have liked to see more info on Dmitri’s pact. It is a little weird no one else reached out to him and he was the loner being the alphas son. I think this could have been explored a little more to be full circle.

Overall I enjoyed their story and growth!

First book by this author and I loved it.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this book, I was iffy going into it because it's the fifth book in a spin off series and I haven't read any of the others. I was not lost at all throughout the book, you can tell that their is a deep world that has been built and the beauty of it is that you can just pop in and fully understand without it seeming like your hand is being held. I LOVED Dmitri and Emma was a kick, the struggles with their attraction to each other made me love it even more. I am a sucker for shifter romances done well, and add on top that Dmitri is very much a hidden cinnamon roll hero, it was a charm. I will be going back to read more of this series.

3.5/5⭐️ 2.5 - 3/5🌶

It was a really enjoyable shifter romance! I think if you read the whole series and even the first generation of the Salvation Pack, you'll really like this one. I went into it not reading any of the others, and although it read well as a standalone, I wanted more of the backstory of Dmitri and Emma as characters. More on their personality as individuals that come together as a couple. To me, it went in with the assumption that you had read them vs. treating this as a fresh story with overarching characters. Spice was good in this one as well! I didn't feel like it was too rushed or not enough. Overall, would read more from this author!

**I received this ebook as an ARC from netgalley

I never thought I’d say this about a shifter romance but I experienced an overload of cuteness while reading Wolf in the Night ! Just read this :

“He closed his eyes. They popped back open then seconds later. Sleep was impossible if he was worried about her being cold.
Getting up, he removed the bedspread from his bed and laid it over her.”

***

“She shivered.
Giving in to the inevitable, he lay down behind her and wrapped his arm around her. This was strictly for protection purposes.”

So, the plot : The sins of her father are visited upon Emma. Except, they weren’t really sins and really, it’s some creep who has a vendetta against her father. Not to worry though because Dmitri is determined to protect her or die trying. Who’s Dmitri you ask ? Why, he’s the son of the creep who’s trying to kidnap Emma of course. The following can also be found inside : Instalust, light action, family drama, found family and lots of cute moments.

As you can see, I liked this one a lot. Dmitri was a cinnamon roll but with the same energy of a very shy toddler. Emma was perfect for him because she forced him on multiple occasions (consciously or sometimes just with her reactions) to openly communicate with her. Communication is everything and I really get close to rage quitting books for stupid misunderstandings and mcs not clearly expressing themselves. But that’s neither here nor there.

I came across this novel quite randomly and decided to go for it because I've yet to try shifters. I dove in despite my hard rule about reading in order and wouldn’t you know it ? There were a lot of cameos from previous books that were less meaningful to me as a newcomer. Even so, this can be easily read as a standalone. I will definitely check out the previous books in the series. (Fyi, this series is the next generation spin-off of another series and Wolf in the Night closes out the entirety of it -at least that’s what I understood)

I was provided an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review and I thank the author and the publishing team for it.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the main characters and their chemistry. It did feel very Hallmarky - in a sense that their love developed over one day, which I always get a tad hung up on - but I still thought it had a great plot. I loved the different packs, the intensity, and the showing of other couples.

I realized this was a series when I picked it up but it sounded good, so I read it anyway. Now I'm going to hurry and get the other books in the series! In the middle of writing this review, I went and looked up the series and realized that she's written so many more and this is actually the "next generation" of another series. Oh my gosh! June is going to be a Wolfish month (heh heh heh).

this was an enjoyable installment to read. While things happen quickly the romance doesn't feel too rushed, after all neither are looking for mates (at least not yet). they (and the reader) are given the opportunity to learn about each other a little, particularly the core of who they are and what they believe and even a little something new about themselves. I loved seeing big growly scary Dmitri's inner marshmallow for Emma. I also appreciated that a good portion of this story took place at the Salvation pack's home so we got to see more of the pack and their reaction to little Emma growing up a little more and Dmitri's exposure to a different type of wolf pack. there is plenty happening from the 1st to last chapter but all are well paced and written. this may be my favorite of the next gen books.

This was a good werewolf romance with lots of action and drama.
The salvation pack warmed my heart. They had so much love, so much kindness in their hearts, it made me want to read the entire salvation pack series and the next gen series (which I will do very soon.)
I liked the writing style, the plot was easy to follow and loved the characters.
But I did feel like the drama was sorted out as soon as it came. Like after the main conflict was resolved, their was a brief moment of tension that just appeared out of nowhere and then just as quickly dissipated. It could have been drawn out into a full incident but the author chose to end it with cheesy comments and that was it.
Other than that, the story was definitely worth reading and I am so glad I chose to read this ARC because otherwise I wouldn't have found such an amazing series.

ARC provided by netgalley which I voluntarily chose to review.

What did I just read?! My heart is still pounding, and I am in awe! Wolf in the Night is absolutely riveting and undoubtedly enthralling with its non-stop, imminent danger and unexpectedly, sizzling heat. Once you walk into this wildly untamed world, you can never go back. This world and its magnificent characters will dig their claws into your very soul until you become a part of it. Nothing will ever be as decadent or fulfilling as what is offered before you.

Dimitri has learned to survive throughout his life. He knows nothing of love or hope as his interactions with them have been brief and fleeting. Honor and compassion drive him to make one impulsive move that will change the rest of his life. Emma has lived her life surrounded by love and happiness, so she finds herself in imminent danger, she is left bewildered and scared. Dimitri refuses to allow anyone to be hurt or used as a means to an end, so when he spirits Emma to safety both of their worlds explode into chaos. Can Emma give Dimitri the chance to prove he isn't a threat to her, or will he choose to pass on the love of a lifetime in order to protect her?

Dimitri and Emma took me completely by surprise. I wasn't expecting the intensity of their circumstances or the lethal chemistry between them. They made me yearn for more, and I cheered them on every step of the way. Nothing can compare to how their personalities complicated the other. It was so breathtaking, and it made my heart hurt for the true beauty of it all.

Stories like this one take my heart and my imagination to a whole new level. I am like a deer in the headlights because I simply can't look away from it. I am still reeling from the wonder and thrill of this marvelous adventure! N.J. Walters has stolen my heart with this latest masterpiece, and I can't wait to see what they create next!

Another sexy read from this author. The story is written well, you literally jump right in and get a clear understanding of the characters. They really do fit together.
