Dark Refuge
Spirit Wild #4
by Kate Douglas
Goodreads blurb:
Kate Douglas captivated the world of erotic romance with her
groundbreaking Wolf Tales series, and she continues to push boundaries in her
new Spirit Wild series. Dark Refuge is the fourth book in the series, following
Dark Wolf, Dark Spirit, and Dark Moon.
“Kate Douglas manages to thrill you, entice you and leave you in wonder. I really enjoyed the steamy romance and delicious passion . . . in this dark and dangerous journey . . . I can’t wait to read more. 5 stars!”
—Krystal Malott for BTSeMagazine
Emeline Cheval has always felt a darkness in her soul, an emptiness she blamed on her controlling parents. After years of unrest, Emy has finally found some sense of peace by living quietly far away from her family and her pack. But her world is thrown into chaos when she discovers a fellow Chanku trapped in a human trafficking and prostitution ring. Now Emy must turn to the very pack she left behind for help.
On the outside Gabe Cheval has it all. Stunningly handsome and strong, he’s a prominent and valuable member of the pack—but he carries a fear that he will never find a woman of his own. He remembers Emy from his childhood, and he’s shocked when he goes to help her and discovers that the silly young girl has grown into a sensuous and beautiful young woman—one who tantalizes him with the sense that she could be the perfect mate to finally end his loneliness.
But even as Gabe and Emy come together to rescue the captive woman and explore the undeniable attraction building between them, the dark menace that lurks deep in Emeline’s heart threatens to push them apart. Through Gabe’s loving and erotic touch and Emy’s open and passionate trust in him, they uncover a horrible secret that could threaten the very core of the Chanku hierarchy.

My Thoughts - 5 out of
5 unicorns - I loved it!!
***I choose what I read and review
based on what intrigues me!! I bought this book because I like the
series, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The
cover is nice though I imagined him with more hair!
This
is the 4th book in this series!
I think you should read them in order because you will know and
understand the characters better who show up in this book! I like knowing back stories and what has
happened when references are made. This
book is for adults only due to the steamy scenes and sensitive topics brought
up. You should be aware this book covers
topics of abduction, rape, human trafficking and slavery. There is also multiple partner scenes with
F/M/M/F, F/F and M/M too.
This
book had all sorts of things going on and all at once. It is action packed. I already liked Gabe before this book, but I
could see he was a tad bit him oriented at times in this book. He definitely saw the errors of his ways
thanks to Alex. Emy is strong and
intelligent. She has issues she didn’t
even know about. This book has a little
of everything, and I couldn’t put it down.
The ending was special to at the Winter Solstice. Kate’s writing makes the story come alive in
your mind. I can’t wait to read the next
book Dark Terror!
I
highly recommend to any Chanku loving shifter fans especially if you just love to
enjoy shifter stories! This story may
not be for everyone because of sensitive topics, but you should make that
choice for yourself!
Interested in reading??
