About this audiobook

He kidnapped her to save his pack, he has no idea the secret she’s keeping.

Nico’s alpha is dying. Human doctors are forbidden. His pack is fraying all around him. And when Nico breaks into a zoo for medical supplies, fate drops a solution straight into his arms: a brave and stubborn woman wearing purple scrubs who makes his wolf bare its teeth and want.

He takes her. He traps her. He demands she heal his leader.

But there are two things Nico doesn’t know about Elise.

One: despite the scrubs, she isn’t a veterinarian. And two…

Elise is a witch. And witches are the enemy.

Kidnapping her was a mistake. Falling for her would be treason.

To ensure his prisoner doesn’t escape, Nico keeps her close. In his room.

In his bed.

Even with a wall of pillows between them, her scent is driving his wolf feral. Every forbidden kiss, every caress shared in the dark pushes Nico closer to crossing a line he can’t come back from.

Soon Nico must choose between loyalty to his alpha… and the woman his wolf has already claimed as his own.

Perfect if you're looking for:

enemies to lovers

fated mates

only one bed

touch her and die

forced proximity

secret identity

Ratings and reviews

Taken by the Wolf had all the right ingredients for a gripping listen—intriguing premise, strong characters, and plenty of tension. The story showed real promise, but repetitive descriptions and a few scenes that felt out of place pulled me out of the experience. The narration was a mixed bag; while expressive, it leaned a bit too breathy at times, and the audio consistency wasn’t always smooth. Overall, it’s an enjoyable listen with solid potential.

"My wolf chose you as my mate, and I like to think this is your magic choosing me." This is the first story in the new "Southern Basin Pack" series. It is a down right addicting read/listen. The story is about Nico and Elise, a wolf shifter and a witch. These two are fated but forbidden. I love the suspense, action, humor, mystery, passion, push/pull and good twists in this story. I love the end when she is able to run with his wolf. I cannot wait for more from this series! The audio story is n

I listened to the audiobook version so this review is based on that. Its a sweet werewolf romance where his mate is a witch. In this world witches and werewolves are enemies and the story is mostly about the trials and tribulations of being a mixed couple, while dealing with an enemy pack. I enjoyed the story and the narration was ok. It was all narrated in a females voice but it felt slow to listen to, so after a few chapters i sped9 up the narration to 1.3 and that sounded normal. No AI voice
