Granite Lake Wolves #2
Wolf Flight
An untriggered werewolf. A runaway Omega. It’s not easy fighting destiny.
Granite Lake Wolves, Book 2
Tad Maxwell’s workaholism serves to keep his bush-pilot company in the air, and his inner werewolf in check. In the two years since he discovered his heritage, he’s resisted the longing to test the power of his wolf side. It would mean compromising his human principles.
Then Missy Leason re-enters his life. Ten years ago, their teenage attraction never went beyond hand-holding. Now their chemistry is off the charts, pushing him closer to the step he’s not sure it’s safe to take, especially with a human.
But Missy is more like Tad than he realizes. She’s wolf too,and a wolf pack is a dangerous place to have secrets. Missy’s Alpha has sniffed out her carefully hidden Omega powers. Her first response: run from the corrupt Alpha’s plan to make her his mate. Step two: get to Tad, and hope like hell his untapped powers are strong enough to negate her own.
Every touch with Missy is hot, hot, hot, but even finding out she’s pure wolf doesn’t solve Tad’s dilemma. Is she using him, or are they truly destined mates? Only one thing is certain. He will defend her to his last breath—on his terms. Even if it means losing his life.
Warning: Contains nasty Alphas, secret Omegas and werewolves acting raunchy on the dance floor. Sarcasm, wilderness cabins and hot nookie back by popular demand.

This book has been previously published but is now released with added content .
We met Tad in the first book Wolf Signs when his sister found out she was a werewolf. Tad has known for sometime that he too is a latent wolf but so far he hasn't been triggered. As fascinated as a Tad is by his heritage he clings to his humanity and resists becoming what he considers more beast than man. Missy had an unhappy arranged marriage and has never found her mate. Yet she remembers with fondness Tad from her schooldays and when pushed into a really nasty situation by her corrupt brother in law Missy hatches a cunning plan. Escape from her pack and catch up with Tad because if she's right he can help her lose her much prized Omega powers !
I really liked Tad and he's such an honourable character and not at all bloodthirsty like so many other wolves in these packs. Tad has always known that Missy was special but seeing them come together was both funny and sweet. Missy is bright and I liked that she holds a responsible job as I wanted to see a strong heroine who could think for herself . Missy might think she has her answer to her dilemma with Tad but clearly the author had other ideas! I'd definitely say things don't quite go according to plan although triggering Tads wolf side has far reaching repercussions that added greatly to the story .
Bottom line is this story whilst quite short added a lot to this world that auther has created as the timeline caught up quite nicely with previous events. Plus it starts with a scene showcasing just how odious the bad guy really is so right from the start I was one hundred percent routing for Missy. Fun, sexy, sweet and with a most unusual fight scene , definitely worth a read if looking for something a bit different

Wolf Flight by Vivian Arend
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
3 Stars
It starts off with a lot of promise. Around 30% or so it begins to drag a bit and the flow is off. I enjoyed it, but I was disappointed.
There are a few typo/editing errors and missing words. They don't really interfere with the story.
There is a smattering of humor that will have you grinning.
The rules in this world are a bit convoluted. So are the various abilities of different characters.
While it is a quick and nice read, the main characters, Missy and Tad, the world build and interactions of all needed more development.

In the second installment of the Granite Lake Wolves series two high school sweethearts who have more in common than they ever could have imagined are reunited when one's life is threaten and another's is falling apart.
Tad Maxwell is half wolf, half human and will not come into his wolf unless he has sex with someone else of his kind. But Tad refuses to give into his wolf and a meaningless liaison, his human side and principals rule too strong. And so he fights every day to bury that part of him. Until the girl he once loved shows up and turns his world upside down.
Missy Leason is running from her pack and almost out of time. A viscous alpha wants to claim Missy and use her for her Omega powers, willing to break both human and wolf laws if that means a rise in his own power. Missy hopes that Tad can save her but that means confessing secrets and convincing him that they're more than just first mates, they're true mates. But when Missy's Alpha finds them she may not get the chance because Tad must face him in a fight...without the ability to shift into a wolf like his adversary.
Wolf Flight was another great story from Vivian Arend, this time starring Robyn's (Wolf Signs) brother, Tad. With suspense and action that will keep you turning the pages for more and naughty sex scenes with frustrating tension, Wolf Flight had a fuller feeling to it then the first book in the series despite it's shorter length.
Tad and Missy's story almost run side-to-side of Robyn and Keil's time-wise, so you get to see Tad's feelings on his sister's mating as well as his own. A sweet and likable character, I really enjoyed Tad. Missy was also a good character, determined and aggressive when it came to getting what she wanted (Tad) yet still soft and womanly. I'm looking forward to the next book!

Bashful Omega
I love that Missy Leason and Tad Maxwell have an adolescent crush to draw on and get the ball rolling. How they reconnect is comical, and I like how the prologue is wrapped into the storyline.
I love how bashful he is about nudity in a public or even semi-public environment, while she, and pretty much everyone around them, is extremely comfortable in a state of undress. It led to some humorous and possessive moments.
I deeply enjoyed getting to know this couple. Seeing more of the pack and how they work as a unit is always fun, too. It's one of the things I love most about Vivian's books. The sense of community is never far away.
I listened to this as part of the 'Granite Lake Wolves' audio book collection. The narrator is Tanya Eby, who continues to do a fantastic job!

KcLu's review posted on Guilty Pleasures
Tad Maxwell has known he is a wolf for the last two years, and he doesn’t see his status changing anytime soon. His sister, Robyn, has just been triggered and become the mate of the Granite Lake pack’s Alpha, and he is starting to get even more frustrated with his wolf side then before. His skin literally is itching for his wolf to be set free, but he will not do his First Mating with just anyone. He wants it to be special, and to be with his Mate. Little does he know that the one girl from high school he didn’t let himself want is not only a wolf, but she is also his mate.
Missy offers to be Tad’s First Mate thinking this will be a false mating, and she will lose her Omega powers. She doesn’t realize that he has been in love with her just as long as she has been in love with him. Her Omega side allows her to see that at possible the worse time. When she tells Tad that they are really True Mates he misunderstands the situation, and in an attempt to be noble and step away from Missy he causes them severe physical pain, because for a wolf you can’t just stop midway through these things. BUT once these two get their shenanigans all together and get to the smoking hot sex, they almost set your e-reader on fire.
This is a book with many turns that keep you guessing as to what will happen next. The beginning of the book opens with Missy dealing with the crazy brother of her dead husband. Because of the fact that she was never a true mate to her first husband and since she is an Omega, Doug is going to try and force her to mate him. Doug is beyond a bad wolf. He has been using the pack for illegal activities, and wants to force Missy to use her Omega powers to further that along. He is going to allow her to go on a six week research trip as part of her mourning. Then after that he will make her his. He has used a threat against her little sister to insure she doesn’t run off, or so he thinks. But how will her react after learning that Missy has mated to Tad while away and how will Missy insure the safety of her little sister??
I absolutely loved this book. Vivian has a talent when writing these quick reads. She does it in a masterful way that you don’t feel rushed or like you are missing part of the story. This is a great series. I like how the two books intertwine with each other. This is what I love about reading series books. I love when they feel like you are reading on big long book. Throw in some smoking hot sex between two smoking hot wolves, and I am one hooked gal!! I recommend y’all trying out this book and the series!!

It is one of the pleasures of this genre that authors can design and present new rules of lupine lore--thus (in the better works) creating an enticing locale to which readers may escape, a world in which individuals are accepted because they are members of the pack; in which the pack works together to care for the young, the old, and the weak; in which Good ultimately vanquishes Evil; and in which mind-blowing sex is a given within the bounds of a life-long monogamous true-love bond. The obvious analogies explain the pull of this genre on its devotees.
The second novella in the Granite Lake Wolves series, Wolf Flight is a quick, light read. This series presents some lupine lore and uses terms differently than other series; however, I am still somewhat new to this genre. In some series, omega wolves are described as the weakest shifters with the least control of their wolves--at the bottom of the lupus-garou pecking order. In Wolf Flight, omegas are presented as very rare wolves with mystical gifts essential to the well-being of the pack. Another bit of lore essential to the plot is that a male, half-human shifter is unable to shift into wolf form until "triggered" by a "first-mate" with a full-blooded female wolf-shifter. If the female was previously mated, the first-mate session ostensibly would not trigger the life-long mating bond.

Loved Tad and Missy, great second chance shifter romance
Missy Leason is a rare Omega wolf. Recently widowed. Her Alpha and brother in law, has plans to claim her for himself. She needs to escape, but has a younger sister to protect. She has a risky plan. Her job will take her away for a few months. She reaches out to an old high school friend who she has been half in love with for years.
Tad Maxwell, is an untriggerd wolf. His chance of getting triggered, short of finding his mate, are slim. He is getting frustrated. When his high school crush let him know she would be in town his he can't wait to see her.
Missy is excited to find not only is Tad is still untriggerd but as dawn to her as she is to him.
Missy is stunned and elated to find she and Tad are true mates. Tad not fully understanding what is happening nearly breaks both their hearts.
Missy's Alpha has come for her. Pack law forced Tad into a fight to the death.
A sweet and steamy, second chance romance. Sweet slice of life epilogue to wrap up their story.

In the second book we get Tad’s story! We met him in the first book; he’s Robyn’s brother.
Tad always wondered how it is to be a full wolf. He’s a half blood, which mean that he can inly shift after having sex with a female full blood wolf. Since he haven’t found anyone yet, his wolf is still dormant.
Missy is a widow now. Her Alpha wants to take her for himself, so he can use her Omega powers. For the last couple of months she left the pack to do some research for her work. Meeting Tad after almost a decade means that she may have a chance to escape after all.
They used to know each other back in high school. Tad can’t believe that he get to see Missy after all these years! The attraction he felt for her back in high school is back even stronger now! Their encounters are buzzing with sexual energy, neither of them can refuse.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next one, featuring Erik and Missy’s sister!!

2.5 stars? Holy wish fulfillment, Batman! Everything was very poorly explained and borderline unbelievable.

Okay, I’m officially hooked. The Granite Lake Wolves actually had me at the end of Wolf Signs, but this book just reinforced my opinion.
I liked Tad when he was introduced in the first book, but we really only got a quick glimpse of him. Readers found out he was a loving, over protective older brother, but that’s pretty much all we got. Tad was oh so much more than that.
Missy was desperate, but knew more about wolves and how things worked within packs than Tad. She felt the connection between her and Tad, but she was blinded at first by the need to escape and protect her sister. She didn’t intend to find her true mate, but having it be the person she had always felt most comfortable with was perfect.
Tad’s sense of honor was both admirable and frustrating. He was adorable in his shyness and I loved the way he was with the rest of the pack and his sister. The relationships between all of them just keep growing stronger and I felt just as strong a connection with Robyn and Keil as I did in Wolf Signs. I like it when a series moves on, yet doesn’t abandon previous characters entirely.
The next book in the series is Wolf Games and it features Erik. The family connections haven’t ended yet, because the female in this one is Missy’s sister, Maggie. After that, we finally get to spend some quality time with TJ… that’s one that I can’t wait for. *sigh* Between Books 2 and 3, Vivian Arend has treated us to two novellas that are super short, but super hot. They’re only 10 pages each, so I probably won’t review them separately. First Howl features Robyn and Keil and Second Howl features Tad and Missy. They are worth a download though because what they lack in length, they more than make up for in heat. Just don’t read them before you finish Wolf Flight.

When I realized that the start of this one was concurrent with the previous book I wasn't sure how that was going to work, but it ended up not being a problem. I also really liked how the previous couple were integrated into this story as well.
I loved that Tad and Missy had secret crushes on each other in high school, but didn't do anything about it. Tad because he was shy, Missy because her family was bigoted about half-bloods. I really felt for Missy being in the situation that she was, and really liked that she was willing to do anything to get out of it. It was good that the anything turned out to be a good thing for her.
I loved how Tad and Missy were able to make being Omega's work for them when they needed it to and that Robyn's deafness turned out to be a strength that helped them just when they needed it to.
The epilogue was great, loved how each of them had a surprise for their mates.

Tad just did not want to listen to anything from the beginning. This was predictable but I really wanted to see something out there from him and Missy as far as their abilities or the mating. The ending was lame though, funny, but lame. This could've had a bit more as far as an outside challenge with someone as powerful as Doug was made to be. I wanted to see a real fight that made sense. Guess I'll wait for the next one.

Great book! I only wished it was a bit longer and that the story had more depth to it. I do love the Granite Lake wolves!

Tad and Missy definitely were in denial, but watching them getting it all figured out was a great ride! Their HEA was perfect for them and fit them exactly 😊

I'm in love with this series. In love.

We briefly met the Tad Maxwell, male protagonist in this 2nd book in the Granite Lake Wolves series in the series first book Wolf Signs as the older over protective brother of that books heroine Robyn. Because Robyn was adopted by Tad’s family they aren’t related by blood. Which explains why Robyn is a full blooded wolf shifter while Tad is a half-blood. The only way he can come into his wolf is by having sex with a full blooded female shifter. Enter Missey Leason this book’s female protagonist. Tad and Missey were wannabe high school sweethearts until Missy’s family moved away. Wannabe because Missey’s family didn’t want her too involved with Tad because he had no idea he had wolf shifter blood.
Now its years later. Tad a bush pilot is now aware that he is part wolf-shifter. He longs to release his wolf side and is disappointed that he hasn’t found a female shifter he wants to mate with and release his wolf. He has no idea that Missey whom he’s never really gotten over is a wolf shifter. Missey is also an Omega a rare shifter valued by packs. She was forced into an arranged marriage to her pack’s alpha’s younger brother to protect her younger sister from the evil alpha. After the alpha has her husband murdered, he sets his sights on forcing Missey to marry him and use her omega talents to help him enrich himself through illegal means. Missey reaches out to Tad under the guise of having him fly her to the north country where she is part of a scientific research project. Not knowing Tad already knows about his wolf she plans on seducing him once he learns of his heritage because its rumored that if an omega has sex with a half-breed she could then lose her powers which would leave her useless to her alpha’s plans. If that doesn’t work she’ll just disappear into the wilderness. Which doesn’t explain how she’ll then protect her younger sister from the alpha’s retribution? Tad thinking Missey is human decides he still wants her even if it means he’ll never release his wolf half. Of course when all is revealed to both of them they happily release Tad’s wolf half. But there’s still trouble in store for the two lovers because they have to deal with Missey’s alpha.

After the alpha has her husband murdered, he sets his sights on forcing Missey to marry him and use her omega talents to help him enrich himself through illegal means. Missey reaches out to Tad under the guise of having him fly her to the north country where she is part of a scientific research project. Not knowing Tad already knows about his wolf she plans on seducing him once he learns of his heritage because its rumored that if an omega has sex with a half-breed she could then lose her powers which would leave her useless to her alpha’s plans. If that doesn’t work she’ll just disappear into the wilderness. Which doesn’t explain how she’ll then protect her younger sister from the alpha’s retribution? Tad thinking Missey is human decides he still wants her even if it means he’ll never release his wolf half. Of course when all is revealed to both of them they happily release Tad’s wolf half. But there’s still trouble in store for the two lovers because they have to deal with Missey’s alpha.

Yay! Tad’s book! I just finished Black Gold, his partner Shaun’s book (TakhiniWolves1), so catching up with Tad just makes it fun. Especially since this book runs concurrently with Wolf Sign.
Tad Maxwell is a demmed good pilot. He has his own charter service called Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a partner who can handle helicopters, and a growing business. A charter that promises long term service keeps him from hiking the lake with his sister; but he finds out it promises so much more.
Missy Leason needs a hero. As an untrained Omega wolf, just coming into her powers, she hopes to avoid the forced mating with her pack alpha, aka, her brother-in-law. Doug has plans for her powers - hoping to pervert her influence and illegally manipulate the political landscape while increasing his finances.
If Missy can find a half-blood who is also an untriggered wolf, with less dominance than hers, she can lose her powers and cut Doug off at the knees.
Tad would fit that bill, nicely, if someone has told him he is a shifter. Her father forbade her from telling Tad in high school; but Missy always had a longing heart for Tad.
The attraction is off the charts, but Tad has had years cut off from his wolf, and only two years in a pack, as a latent. There is so much wolf lore he doesn’t know, which means there are real gaps in what he was taught.
It takes them a while to work out their lines of communication, but, the big bad is coming for them. Time is not on their side.

Tad hasn't been able to trigger his wolf, Missy is trying to leave her Whistler pack and its Alpha. Her Omega powers made her a target and her Alpha really wants her because of it. This is what kept me reading. Tad was sweet and naive and brave. Sweet because he didn't want to have sex just to trigger his wolf. He wanted it to have meaning. Naive because Tad knew little about wolves in spite of being one. So when Missy felt that electrical jolt when Tad touched her and discovered that he is her Mate, Tad's reaction is precious. The confrontation with Doug, Whistler's Alpha made me admire Tad even more.
It is a shame we don't get to explore more, go deeper into the conflict and are rushed through it. I understand that in this universe wolves are very sexual beings, however, why not give us more than that and expand on the issues preventing our main characters for getting their HEA? If I could give half stars I would but Goodreads doesn't have that option. Three stars because there was a conflict but two and a half stars because sex is the main theme and the conflict is just barely there.

While not as good as the first book, this is a sweet and fitting addition to the series. This story follows Tad, Robyn’s adopted brother and half werewolf. Tad is a total romantic looking to find love and not just have sex with any old body for the sake of FirstMate, the werewolf sex that will trigger his wolf so he can shift. Enter Missy, Tad’s big time high school crush with secrets of her own. She is not only a werewolf but in danger from her brother in law’s scheme to mate her against her will after his brother’s death. She and Tad end up in business together and the sparks fly!
This book is a comedy of errors that could have been easily explained by talking to each other and clearing things up from the beginning. Sadly, when they finally do start talking, there is so much confusion and miscommunication it is ridiculous. I found Tad and Missy to be really sweet characters well suited to each other. This book was thoroughly enjoyable. It does have instalust.

This is the newer version.
I have owned and read this series many times but just recently realised my reviews from the back of the books have disappeared. I am really enjoying getting to know this pack again.
A gripping read.
I love that Tad was such an honourable person and wanted real romance in his life not some false mating. But his idiocy was over the top stupid. He acted all noble and didn’t let Missy explain what had happened before he went and put himself in danger which then put Missy in danger. Idiot males.
Apart from this bit of silliness this is one really good story that has a rotten alpha, true love, even if it is not recognised at first and action.
The author has added to these books since I first bought them and I love the added little epilogues we are getting.

A great second chance with lots of drama
Tad is half human and half wolf who only found out a couple years ago. Missy and Tad were a thing in high school but only holding hands until she moved away. Now she is back but running from the bad Alpha from the pack she belongs to now. Once he realizes that Missy is his mate, there is trouble with the Alpha from her pack who happens to be her brother-in-law and he says he has claimed her since her husband (his brother whom he killed) has been gone six months now. When the challenge is issued to fight for Missy and do it immediately, can Tad win against the Alpha? What will happen when the Alpha break the rules and goes after Missy to kill her?

Wolf Flight is a phenomenal paranormal romance by Vivian Arend. Ms. Arend has delivered a well-written book loaded with fun and lovable characters. Tad is a pilot and co-owner of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, a transport service. He knows he's wolf but needs to be triggered to shift. Missy never forgot Tad from their high school years. Her plan is to be the trigger Tad needs. Tad and Missy's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to my next book by Vivian Arend. Wolf Flight is book 2 of the Granite Lake Wolves Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I'm not a big reader of this genre but this series is so good I can't stop reading. It has everything in it; feelings, sweetness, hotness and action.
The writing style is easygoing and has a way of making me feel that I live in the story.
The characters are well written and the secondary characters makes me long for their story too.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and lots of dialogues makes it a very enjoyable read.
This authors books is definitely on my "must have" list now!
*I was gifted this copy and give my review freely*

Tad is a pilot and he is assigned to Missy for the next few months. He’s only a half wolf and the only way to activate his wolf side is to find his mate. Missy is an omega, she wants to find a way from her current pack. The alpha is violating laws and she wants no part of it. These two find each other after a being friends in high school. This was a great second book. I really enjoyed the writing and quick pace. The only thing that pulls it down was I just wanted like 50 more pages. Just a little bit more to the relationship. I can’t wait to keep reading this series.

Missing book found
Not sure how i missed reading this book, I read this series last year. Anyhow, this is a delightful romantic werewolves story. Couples finding themselves an awful, devious and conniving brother in law, who happens to operate the wrong side of the law.
The story winds it way from the main
character, Tad and his sister, Robyn.
Mates, fate and destiny spin through this book. Enjoyable read Thank You.

In book 2 of the series, the brother of the heroine of the first book finds both his wolf and his mate. Too bad someone's made a prior claim on her. These stories are short and flow from one to the next. Tanya Eby's is a favorite narrator.

Missy is an Omega wolf on the run from her evil Alpha who wants to force a mating on oher and use her abilities for his illegal activities. Tad is a half wolf that hasn't been triggered. They new each other as kids and always liked each other and now reunited are hot for each other. Was okay read.
