Description:
Cassidy moves out of the only city she’s ever known and heads to the distant town of Climax, British Columbia. Her grandfather left her an estate, and she lined up a job in the small mining town.

She arrives and discovers that her inheritance is nothing more than a run-down shack, and the men she’s supposed to work with are drop-dead gorgeous. It’s impossible to resist the advances of the men in Climax, especially when she’s never felt so isolated.

Garret is the foreman of the Gregor Copper Mine, but also alpha to a small pack of wolf shifters. Recent events in Climax have made life complicated—loggers are trying to encroach on their land, one of their pack mates is missing, and their new female dispatcher is a mouthwatering distraction. When Cassidy is threatened, the men band together, realizing the little human is more important to them than they ever imagined.

NOTE! You are purchasing Siren’s newest serialized imprint, the LoveXtreme Forever Series. This is Book 1 of 7 in the Wolves of Climax collection. These books are not stand alone. Each is a continuation of the previous book and must be read in the numbered order. Each book may end on a cliffhanger but usually with a happy-for-now for the heroine and one or more men. The final book contains a happily forever after for the heroine and all her men.

I simply had to get my hands on this book after reading the second one first. Stacey Espino has created a sexy wolf pack in the town of Climax and I became hooked. While the story is a quickie, it does not leave out a good plot. Cassidy has found herself with a small estate after her grandfather passes away. With a chance at a new life she uplifts everything she knows to move to Climax in BC (yes you can expect a joke or two about trying to reach climax before dark and needing help getting there). After securing a job at Gregor Copper Mine, she packs up and drives to her new home. On the way she stops to introduce herself and realizes things were not what she expected. Stepping in to say hello, Cassidy encounters some of the hottest men that she has ever seen. One of those hotties happened to be Garret Gregor, her new boss. How on earth was she going to survive working with such eye candy and not get distracted? Worse yet, after finding her new home, she realized that maybe the entire move was a bad idea to begin with.

Garret was happy that his new dispatcher would be starting on Monday. The mine needed someone to help organize the daily chaos. He had a man missing and he needed one less thing to worry about. Too bad that was not going to happen. The moment his eyes met with those of his new dispatcher, Cassidy, he knew he was in for a whole lot of trouble. She was sexy as hell and he knew he was not the only one who noticed. As Alpha to a pack of wolf shifters, Garret could hear the thoughts of his men. They were all on Cassidy.

I am really having fun with this series. The stories are quickies but the plot with the missing packmate and the tension between the wolves when it comes to Cassidy, makes for an interesting read. All of the wolves are possessive but in this case, the Alpha chooses the mate for the entire pack. Garret fears that a simple human woman cannot handle his crew and he is not willing to take that chance. His wolf is very strong and if he is unleashed, someone, especially Cassidy, could get hurt. When Cassidy is threatened by a unknown man, all bets are off. Garret takes it upon himself to protect Cassidy and the only safe place is with his pack. Imagine that: alone in a cabin with three sexy men. What is a girl to do?

A fun series, especially if you love shifters. Hell, a fun series if you love hot miners who have trouble sharing but do their best to try.
