Review

what an awesome story ~Robin~Forbidden Hunger was amazing. Garret and Janna's story had me laughing and crying at the same time. I did not want the book to end and was very sad that it did end. Sam and Hunter are the best. Teresa did the same to me with her awesome vampire warriors protector series the emotions she puts into her writing is incredible. Lee County Wolves will make a great book series cause I want (no NEED) Hunter's book!!! He is my wolfie equal to Sid Sinclar!!! Teresa's books are so real I can put myself into her worlds that she creates and feel like vampires and shifters are real and among us. Such a well written book just drawls you in and you wont want to leave Lee County!!!!

    I totally loved this story. It's a shorter length read and that was good because I was completely engrossed in the story and was able to read it all at once. This story was everything I love... loads of action, suspense and great "banter" and fun moments between Garrett and Janna (the 2 main characters). Also the supporting cast of characters was great... Just loved the complete package.

    Garrett Foster is the pack leader of the Lee County wolves. When Janna shows up at the outskirts of his town with two small children in tow,
    he questions them to find out exactly what their reason for being there is. Janna isn't being totally truthful or upfront, and though Garrett knows this, he's willing to wait her out, take in the three newcomers in and see what she has to say when she's ready to say it.

    Janna's a small fry but it seems she can hold her own. She's on a mission and determined to see it through. She's confused and lonely, grieving and full of anxiety, but stays strong for herself and the two little cubs she took under her wing along the way.

    Garrett's all you could ever hope for in an Alpha leader. He's respected by his wolf pack and family. He thinks quickly and decisively and he is ferociously protective. He's a good, strong leader with a heart.

    Outstanding supporting character cast. Garrett's brothers Marcus and Hunter are terrific and I am so hoping Ms. Gabelman will continue this series with stories for each of them. The relationship of the three brothers was great to see. Their antics, their humor, their protective streak of those in need... made my heart melt. I just fell in love with the whole package, the complete scenario.

    The elements of danger and suspense just added that special little touch to the story. You get to see Janna being selfless and in her own way protective of those she's come to love. AND you get to see Alpha Garrett in action, protecting what he's come to love.

    The story moved along nicely. It was completely what I've come to expect from Teresa Gabelman's books since first reading her VC warriors books. LOVED IT SO MUCH!

    Overall Rating: 4.25 Rockin’ ★★★★

    The Reaping is an ancient, forbidden hunt and someone has started it again. In book one, Forbidden Hunger we are introduced to the Foster Pack of Lee County. This is the first book in Teresa Gabelman’s new series, Lee County Wolves. It delves into good vs. evil and those that would fight and defeat it. Janna and Garrett are fated, true mates and this is their story.

    Her dying mother’s last request was for Janna Lawson to find her father and tell him that she died loving him. That she never betrayed his secret. Janna is a hybrid and knows nothing about being a shifter. She needs answers and a safe place for herself and the young ones she is looking after. Is the man she is looking for part of this pack? Will the Foster Pack take them in and protect them or will she have to continue running? The way Garrett Foster is looking at her and the way her wolf is reacting to him, maybe he will let them stay.

    He is the alpha and protector of his pack. So when an unknown woman enters his territory with a teen and a young child, he goes into full alpha mode. What pack do they belong to and why does her wolf call to his? His gut is telling him trouble is headed towards his pack and this woman is his! Garrett has never had a problem attracting females, but now he knows why he never kept one of them.

    This is an action filled story with humor, sizzling sexual attraction and mysteries that must be solved. Great storyline development and creative approach to shifters and the world they live in. Characters are fashioned in a way that they will entrench themselves into the readers thoughts and remain after the book is finished.

    Hero: Garrett Foster 4.25 stars
    Heroine: Janna Lawson 4.25 stars
    Steam: 4.25 stars
    Plot: 4.25 stars
    Cliffhanger: No

    This was a cute story. Nothing too climatic, just a simple read of romance with a little comedy thrown in. I do not plan on continuing this series. I like a little more darkness. After her mother's death, Janna goes looking for her father and finds Garrett. She denies her feelings for a while, then gives in. They run into a little trouble with another pack, she gets hurt and finally shifts to her wolf for healing. The end.

    Forbidden Hunger by Teresa Gabelman.....5 stars!!
    This is a Fantastic book! A MUST READ!!!
    Once I started this fun, fast read, I couldn't put it down.I am obsessed with her series The Protectors , it's filed sexy alpha vamps, who wouldn't be obsessed right?So I was thrilled to hear she was writing a shifter book.
    This is a Fantastic story, Janna and Garrett are awesome..Janna is strong and independant and doesn't take any crap from anyone.
    Garrett is a delicious tall dark handsome Shifter! He is drool worthy from the very beginning and very Alpha!
    Their relationship starts rocky and is a so much fun to watch unfold.
    Loads of sexy supporting characters to make a girl drool! I definitely see this becoming a series.. and a few of these characters getting their own books (Hunter,Dell... Hint ..hint)
    Forbidden Hunger just goes to prove no matter what genre she writes, Ms.Gabelman will Knock it out of the park!!

    I love Teresa Gableman her books are always engaging and keep you wanting to know more. I love me a hot Alpha man and Garrett doesn't disappoint . When he meets his mate Janna his wolf practically jumps for joy , only Janna isn't impressed with his dominant ways and defys him at every turn . Soon Garrett where's her down and she finally accepts what deep in her heart she already knew however danger comes knocking and soon all hell breaks loose. Janna has never shifted afraid she will hurt someone do kept her wolf under tight wraps until tragedy strikes and her wolf is the only one that can save her. I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading the next book in this series 😊.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I really liked this novella.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2017

    This is the first story of Ms Gabelman's new shifter paranormal romance series and it's certainly a well packed novella!

    I am already a fan of Ms Gabelman's other paranormal romance series The Protectors and love her writing style. I find her stories easy to read, her characters complex and believable and her story arcs well paced and contain a balanced mix of action, humour, tension/mystery and passion. This short introduction to the Lee County Wolf Pack was no exception.

    My only niggle is something that I find with lots of hooks in the romance genre; we teach girls that "no means no" so if boys push them they stand strong, well I would have preferred a particular scene with our heroine, Jenna and our hero, Garrett, to have been written slightly differently. If her mind says no (or even maybe), her lips say no, even if her nipples are erect, that is a NO!
