Book Review: Savage Games by Reece Barden
Book Description
A rogue with nowhere else to go, Wyatt's made it through to the next round of the notorious Alpha Games, a brutal competition where the fiercest wolf shifters compete to win a pack of their own. Not here to make friends, Wyatt has his eyes firmly on the prize, despite nobody wanting to see a rogue like him win.
Naomi's got plans. Win a pack. Save her sister from an alpha who wants to make her pay for the death of his brother.
None of those plans involve finding her fated mate, and they definitely don't include him turning out to be a dark and brooding rogue on a mission to get himself a place to call home.
She shouldn't get distracted. Her sister's life is on the line. She needs to do whatever it takes to make sure she takes top spot.
And yet... try as she might, she can't stay away.
This book in a MF wolf shifter romance with a cinnamon roll gentle giant alpha, a born protector, and a man you don't want to mess with, who'll soon become your new favourite wolfish book boyfriend.
My Review
This is the second book in the Alpha Games trilogy. You can find my review of the first book, Rogue Games, here.
Wyatt is Jamie's brother from the first book. He is competing in the alpha games to try and win and get his own pack. As a rogue wolf shifter, there are a lot of members there that don't want to see him win. Rogue wolves are looked down on. But the only reason he was a rogue was because he was such a big, alpha shifter and no other pack alpha's wanted him in their pack because they were afraid he would challenge them for the alpha role and win. So because no one would let him in their pack, he had no choice but to be a rogue wolf.
He and his sister Jamie had a rough life but in the first book his sister found her mate and she's safe and happy now. Wyatt just wanted to win these games until he meets Naomi, a female wolf shifter competing in the alpha games in order to win her own pack and keep her sister safe. But as soon as Naomi and Wyatt meet, they know they are mates. They can't let others know right away though because they don't want to be used against each other if some of the others want to cheat and put them in danger.
There's a lot going on with Naomi though and she doesn't want to put all of her problems on Wyatt and make things harder for him. But he finds out what's going on with her and asks his sister and her mate for help which they do.
Wyatt is a great guy. Strong, caring and exactly who Naomi needed.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
