Having thoroughly enjoyed WOLF.e, I was excited to dive into Dove, and it did not disappoint. In fact, Dove feels so foundational to the series that it could easily be the first book. It lays the emotional and thematic groundwork that enriches the experience of WOLF.e, offering deeper insight into the world Paisley Hope has created.
The protagonist in Dove is an inspiring role model for independent and strong women. Her journey is a powerful reminder that strength doesn’t mean going it alone. Through her story, readers are encouraged to embrace support systems and understand that vulnerability can coexist with resilience. It’s a refreshing and empowering message that resonates deeply.
This time out we’re with Layla Monroe. After the mysterious and tragic death of her parents, Layla is left grappling with grief, unanswered questions, and a growing distrust of everything she thought she knew. Her world is shattered, and she’s desperate for truth and stability.
Enter Sean “Ax” Hunter, a former Marine and the Sergeant at Arms for the outlaw motorcycle club, Hounds of Hell. Sean is intense, a little haunted, and fiercely protective. His mind is sharp, constantly spinning with memories and facts, but nothing holds his attention until Layla.
A chance encounter pulls them together, and Sean offers Layla a job: help him recover from an injury for two weeks, and he’ll pay enough to cover her remaining school fees. Despite knowing it’s risky, Layla accepts, drawn to his dangerous allure and the possibility of uncovering the truth about her parents’ death.
As Layla and Sean grow closer, their relationship is tested by secrets, trauma, and the violent world of the motorcycle club. Layla suspects Sean may be connected to her family’s tragedy, yet she can’t deny the magnetic pull between them. Their bond deepens through forced proximity, emotional vulnerability, and shared pain. Its ot a suprise the book comes with a list of potential triggers and warnings but if a darker romance is your thing this is the book for you.
The only aspect I struggled with was the cover. As someone who reads frequently on public transport and often leaves my Kindle visible in professional settings, I’d appreciate a more “suitable for work” option. While I know I can disable the display cover feature, I’d prefer to have the choice of a more discreet alternative without compromising the visual identity of the book.
