From The Publisher:
MEETING MY FATED MATE WAS MAGICAL.
Then he rejected me, threw me in the trunk of his car, and sold me into a backwater fighting club full of rabid werewolves.
My pack and family have no idea I'm in danger and my inner-wolf is still crying over the guy who rejected me, so I'm on my own.
At least I think so, until I realize I have the ability to tame rabid shifters.
But I have no idea how to use it-and accidentally end up with a dozen crazed wolves protecting me like I'm their favorite chew toy.
The only other sane trapped werewolf is a sexy, infuriating jerk who calls himself Knockout. He might be my ticket out of the fight club, but I don't know if I can trust him.
And even if I can, those dozen werewolves who think I'm theirs to protect?
They're not letting go.
I have to find a way out before I get too attached to the rabid wolves around me…
Especially Knockout.
Or the gift that's keeping me alive just might become my undoing.
*This new adult urban fantasy features sass, cinnamon rolls, and slow burn romance. It is NOT reverse harem. Binge the whole trilogy now!

This was a really fast read that was pretty decent. Fair warning, though - there's some pretty serious abuse in here.
I mostly enjoyed it, though I was surprised by that... I can't say why I did when normally some of the stuff going on in this book would make me nuts. It is probably because of the characters, and the arc of them finding their way out of a horrible situation and beginning to heal.
One thing worth mentioning, though: I've never read a shifter book where the people were this separate from their animals. Like, Cara and her wolf were fully separate entities who disagreed on a lot of stuff, and honestly didn't seem to get along much in this book. And also, Cara's wolf is an asshole. That's what made this particularly hard to process. She was a weak, pathetic, selfish wolf who forced some TERRIBLE choices on Cara by seizing control. It was even worse because once the consequences of her shitty actions were clear, the stupid wolf withdrew entirely and left Cara to deal with the horror. So that's why I say her wolf is a stupid, selfish asshole... and incredibly weak. That was another thing that was weird - I don't know that I've ever read a shifter book where the wolves aren't protective of their humans.
That wasn't bad (though the bad decisions pissed me off), just different. And honestly, it was kind of nice to read something different.
Also, I'd like to give the author a high-five on one thing. She said in her afterword notes that originally she'd planned to make Knox someone from Cara's past. I'm so glad she didn't. I feel like ... the journey of putting their pasts behind them, and finding a new family, the family of choice, that's just such a better arc.
