Description from the publisher:
A Wolf’s Pursuit. A Seer’s Path. A wolf on the prowl. A clairvoyant in the know. Yet can anyone truly discern what surprises desire might bestow?

A wolf’s pursuit to lay claim to the ruby from Merlin’s staff and to end his curse of celibacy once and for all leads him straight to a local seer. Never would Dark Knight and wolf shifter Gideon Saint-Valeri court a sorceress, yet his yearning for her surges with the approach of the Mage’s Moon. Wronged by the greatest soothsayer of them all, both drawn to and repelled by the modern-day enchantress, he battles his inner beast. Can he and his wolf nature accept this woman as his potential fated mate?

Harboring the weight of hidden investments a too many secrets, Olivia Trudeau uses her clairvoyant abilities to raise funds and gather resources for her Appalachian community. Always burdened by the need to control, which comes with her gift of knowing, she faces her greatest revelation when destiny delivers a shifter—not true boyfriend or one true mate material at all—to her in the form of a shifter.

Danger on their heels, together, Olivia and Gideon fight both supernatural and local forces bent on collecting those of her kind and capturing the Dark Knights in Wolf’s Pursuit, Knight Fever Series #2.

Each one of a contingency of Dark Knights sets out on his final quest. After a millennia and a half of celibacy, each must find his one true mate to end Merlin's curse. A vampire, a wolf shifter, a sorcerer, a shape shifter, a dragon shifter, a wraith, a gargoyle shifter, a phantom, a cougar shifter, a raven shifter, a demon, a specter, and the reaper search for their fated mates.

As are each book in the Knight Fever Series, Wolf's Pursuit is a standalone romance featuring a Dark Knight created to battle the evil that rose up against the Kingdom of Camelot, and a member of a modern-day coven of supernaturally talented women.

Light swearing. High sensuality. Unique, refreshing, edgy shifter romance, paranormal romance, and fated mate romance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WOLF’S PURSUIT is the second book in the Knight Fever series.  They are meant to stand on their own, but I say they need to be read in the order of release and there is too much overlap to pretend they are self-standing.

I found this story to be entertaining, sexy, fast-paced, fun and funny.

I loved Gideon’s nobility and honor.  I loved that he recognized his fated mate, and laughed when he thought he could tell fate that he would just take a taste and walk away.  You would think after 1500 years a man would get a hint, but this just proves that some only grow older.  Still, he didn’t want a witch and she didn’t want a werewolf, which just proves that God / fate / (insert name) has a sense of humor.

As a side story:  just as Jess had a noble passion as a nurse, Olivia also has a higher calling.  She is determined to establish a school that will welcome the children of the area, especially any others that may also be hiding gifts granted by the crystals buried in their mountains.  I love that about her.  She may be “large and in charge,” but it is obvious that her heart is large as well.

Like the first book, this one flew fast.  These people are barely getting a minute to breath or to take a rest as the bad guys hit them again and again.  Luckily, they seem to be up to the challenges.

I devoured this story and I am hoping to grab up the next book in the series as soon as it is offered!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
