I love the Phoenix pack and the stories just keep getting better! I hope there is plenty more to come! Suzanne wright does an amazing job at bringing characters to life! She’s a very talented author and I’ve read all of her books so far and look forward to reading many more from her!
I loved trick and frankies story! The passion, the heat and intensity the couple had right from the get go had me turning pages quicker than I wanted too! I mean I don’t want to rush the story!!
All aspects of the book were there for me, the twist and turns that kept you guessing, the romance and chemistry. I love how the Phoenix pack just gets stronger and stronger as a pack and a family!
Truly this is one book you cannot put down and I will be re-reading it for sure!
5 star read for me and I can’t wait to read more of the Phoenix pack

4 stars

A solid four for this one. I remember being SO irritated with the last book of the Phoenix series and the constant "conflict" between women in the series. The Greta insults were toned WAY down (thank God, it's about time) and we were able to enjoy the pack being together. As I always say with this series, there is an abundance of side characters, almost to the point it's distracting. But, it's a pack book so it's expected that these side characters would be involved in the story-line. But, I think it makes it a hard sell as a standalone. I would NOT recommend anyone to jump in the middle of this series.

This story was Frankie and Trick's story. It was nice to have a different approach to their connection. The author even hinted that it was (*Spoilerish) less drama than the other couples we've seen so far. A LOT less drama to realize they were true mates. (Spoiler over) The less couple drama paved way for the story to move forward, for the pack and the couple.

I'm glad I gave this book a shot. I was really hesitant to pick up another book in this series but it was worth the risk.

Me - looses my shit when I see that Wild Hunger is up in Netgalley.
Me - presses that request button whilst praying to those romance gods that I get accepted.

I'm not ashamed to admit I almost shed a tear!.


So you better believe I dug right in driving nose first into the crazy not taking a break until this rollercoaster was over.

I AM LIVING BREATHING DYING FOR THIS BOOK.

I love this series and have been a die hard fan from the minute she released Feral Sins!. I never doubted her ability to write a great book but this is number 7 in the series and after a while things can get repetitive. This was NOT the case here! She brought new, exciting and equally heartbreaking. It was a fucking journey for sure.

A sculptor of beautiful horrors Frankie just nailed it on the badass train. I love her character, she had substance. She wasn't rash, she didn't over react and whilst she wasn't a fan of people in general she took them as they came without judgment even in the shittest of circumstances. I got a great vibe off her from the start.

Trick was a surprise. See we don't get a lot from him and whilst we know he has had past relations with others in the pack, a lot of him is one bit question mark. That man is all kinds of sinful. He takes what he wants without remorse and he protects what's his. He's loyal, smart and cunning. A realist, he was ready for his mate so when she appeared he knew instantly and with no reservations. I loved that about him.

There is no back and forth in the story. You know from the start that these two characters will be together and that gives a different perspective on this book. Instead of that when will these realise moment you get to see them grow and learn. Navigate their path through the story finding what works for them. The chemistry is instantaneous and palpable through the pages. It's easy to connect to them as characters because they feel real and are so easy to love. You relate to their struggle and route for their happy. They made sense in everyway.

Trick & Frankie's book doesn't disappoint. With every book we get the humour, an abundance of sarcasm and a slew of crazy dysfunctional side characters always keeping things interesting. This time the suspense is almost too much. A finely woven story seemlessly written with the emotional capacity to hit from every direction making me feel it all. It's sweet and fire, heartbreaking and painful. A imperfectly perfect story almost bittersweet yet so fitting to them. I loved it all. It's a rollercoaster but the ride it worth the outcome.

I'm devastated it's finished and I cannot wait for what's next.

I kindly received this ARC from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series, this author and these characters, but this particular novel wasn't my favourite instalment. I felt like there wasn't the usual angst and build up towards the relationship like there usually is and this made me less committed to the story. I guess it's a bit more realistic. In general, the main male was okay, but there were some issues concerning consent which made me a bit uncomfortable.

Another amazing book by Suzanne Wright. She never fails to amaze me with her work. I have been waiting for Trick's book and thanks to netgalley for this copy. I liked Trick's character a lot. He was a dominant wolf shifter but not too pushy. He was caring, patient, protective and always there for Frankie whenever she needed him. He didn't force her to accept the claim just because they were true mates instead he agreed to move at her pace even it was difficult for him. Frankie was also dominant and strong yet vulnerable in her own way. But she handled everything very maturely and didn't ran away from the truth whether it being Trick her true mate or about her parents death. The book was a whole package of suspense, humour, drama and romance. I really like Phoenix pack series and totally recommend this book. Eagerly waiting for Dominic's story.

Four and a half
I know when I pick up a book by this author that I’m going to get a story that will be full of intense sexy characters, a little danger and particularly with her shifter books lots of humourous asides. This time we get a female half wolf who discovers that all she thought about her life was frankly a lie. Frankie was brought up by her grandparents after her shifter father killed her human mother and then shot himself . No one understands exactly why but there’s a lot that Frankie doesn’t know about so when someone claiming to be her fathers sister gets in touch it opens up a can of worms . Frankie needs answers and luckily wolf shifter Trick seems happy to help but why does Frankie's wolf like having him around so much ?
I thoroughly enjoyed being back with the Phoenix Pack as for me that’s where my journey with this author started. Seeing favourite characters just added to my enjoyment but I do wish a certain grandmother would lighten up as the jokes at her expense somehow don’t feel as fresh or funny anymore. That niggle aside it was fun reading about dominant Trick do his best to woo and generally slip under Frankie's guard. Don’t misunderstand though as Frankie is never lied to by Trck and is fully onboard as they explore their mutual attraction. It’s hard for him though as Trick feels he has been cheated out of years with his Mate that he can never get back.
There is obviously more to the story than just the romance and I thought the suspense was handled very well. If brutal I actually wanted a little more about those seeking to invade Phoenix territory but I’m sure there’s still lots more to come.
Bottom line is Trick is sweet and yet dominant and knows exactly what he needs. Frankie is definitely not a push over and has her own quirks that I found very funny. If you enjoy sexy shifter stories then this author should definitely be on your bookshelf.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

I find it difficult to really enjoy paranormal romance, because there's always something that I can't agree with, or the way certain paranormal species are portrayed don't suit my ideal image.

Suzanne Wright always delivers when it comes to giving domineering alpha-male wolf shifters. And while some readers would consider her shapeshifter novels repetitive, I appreciate it, because it means I know what quality of writing and story telling I will receive.

I know there will be over protective and dominant alpha males; a sassy, independent heroine; humorous banter; someone will have a scent that resembles a combination of three random things. Wright's stories follow a formula to some degree.

But that's okay.

I enjoyed Wild Hunger. Protective male wolf shifter. Strong heroine. Decent plot line that wrapped everything up nicely. Steamy, hot sex scenes.

Trick is different from the other males of Phoenix Pack. Where they all seemed to be apprehensive or almost terrified of finding their true mate, Trick is ready. He knows what to expect, what to do.

So when Trick meets Frankie Newman again, he knows he needs to tread carefully.

When Frankie is contacted by a family member she doesn't remember, a lot of questions surface about her identity and true family history. She has no recollection of her childhood. She realises she's been lied to, making her feel more alone than ever. But the Phoenix Pack are determined to show her that she does have a family that cares.

Despite having grown up isolated from other shifters, and resembling a human more than anything else, Frankie is in tune with her wolf.

In Wild Hunger, Trick and Frankie doesn't show the same resistance to being mated the way the other pack members have. No hurdles, no pushing and pulling, or reaching sudden conclusions; they just know. It is quite refreshing!

Just sucks you in, right from the beginning!! Frankie was a tough cookie and her sculptures sounded amazing. Who doesn't love Trick! Their chemistry was off the charts from the beginning. This was a roller coaster of a book, lots of drama, action, love, and naughty scenes. As always watching the pack come together and supporting each other no matter what, brings all the feels. What is not to love about this book!

I enjoyed this baby! But unfortunately, I have to give this 3.5 stars simply because of the familiarity between this book and the previous ones. Not the plot whatsoever, but the style of story. Somehow there's no element of surprise and it's almost as if each of the heroines has the same personality. I was expecting something grand happening or at least one red thread that connects each story but, yeah, it's a bit underwhelming.
But overall man I adore SW's writing sooo much! Look forward to reading more series from my new beloved author!

I do like very much this series, but the problem I had with the first three books - not enough communication between the main characters - I have the same problem with the last two books in this series - except now is too much fast solution for that miscommunication, only the four book - Dark Instincts has the perfect combination of everything :)

But it was an enjoyable read, now I would like to read Dominic Story and hope it will be like Dark Instincts!

Wild Hunger, the 7th book in the Phoenix Pack series introduces us To Frankie a half wolf shifter whose Grandparents have failed to tell her the truth about her family background so she is shocked to hear she has a family and the circumstances that killed her parents.
Trick an enforcer for the Phoenix pack always knew he would find his true mate and for him it's Frankie, both feel this as soon as they meet. Secrets and lies are revealed as danger follows Frankie, Trick and the pack as all are threatened.
Trick and Frankie are wonderful characters and it's lovely to touch base with other members of the pack. As usual from this author a 5 star read.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly.

I’m a huge fan of this series. The mix of humour, wonderfully written sarcastic snark, romance, steam and the fantastically developed paranormal world all combine to create a fun and exciting series. Though I admit that the last few books felt a bit repetitive, this one shakes up the formula a bit, and I absolutely loved it!

Trick is one of the enforcers of the Phoenix Pack. As one of the original crew who formed the pack, he has incredibly close ties with his packmates, and though he is happy that they are all settling down, he is feeling lonely for his own mate. It’s something he has always wanted, and he has avoided relationships knowing that his true mate was out there waiting for him, but his need for her is becoming more intense.

A deep loneliness had steadily crept up on Trick and his wolf as they’d watched their pack mates and allies find their true mates, one by one. Of the adult male wolves within his pack, only he and Dominic remained unmated. There was now a bitter edge to his wolf’s loneliness.

Frankie is a wolf shifter who lives in the human world. Following the tragic and disturbing deaths of her parents, she was taken from her pack to live with her human grandparents when she was only three years old. Since that time she has had no contact with her pack, and has been kept away from the shifter life since that time, believing that her pack wanted nothing to do with her. So she is shocked when her shifter Aunt Lydia (a member of the Phoenix Pack) reaches out to her. She agrees to meet, learns the truth, and finds herself becoming drawn back into her family and into the pack life that she has missed out on her entire life. And, of course, it brings her into contact with Trick.

Her Persian-blue gaze met Trick’s, and his surroundings just seemed to fade away until there was only her. Something inside him roared to life, and a strange possessiveness began to viciously claw at his gut and tighten his chest. It was as primal and basic as the need that twisted his stomach. His cock twitched, thickened, hardened – until he was full and aching like a bitch. The word “mine” pounded around his skull over and over. And that could only mean one thing.
There you are, Trick thought with an inner smile.

Trick knew Frankie when she was a child, and with one spine-tingling glance at her as an adult, he knows that she is his. He is thrilled that his search is over, and though he is instantly protective and possessive, he takes things slow with her, knowing that she has a lot to catch up with, and OMG he is absolute perfection! And when Frankie begins to feel the truth of their bond, the relationship that begins is just gorgeous.

“It eats me up inside that I missed so much of your life. Eats me up that I didn’t realize who you were to me when we were kids. I’ve been waiting to find you – or, as it seems, to get you back – for so fucking long…I’m not going to give you up.”

I freaking LOVED this romance! First and foremost, I love how matter of fact they are about the whole thing! They both feel the bond, they accept that it’s there, and they don’t run from it. They embrace it, openly exploring it, and honestly sharing all that they are feeling for each other. It was so refreshing to read such a functional romance, and I loved watching them both relish everything happening between them.

She straightened in her chair and twisted to face him. “Get ready.”
Trick blinked. “For what?”
“It should hit us any minute now.”
“What do you--” Red-hot arousal slammed into him and flooded his system. Just like that, his blood thickened, his body tightened, and his cock filled to bursting. And then the drive to soothe her disappeared, completely drowned out by the urge to take and claim and mate. He double-blinked. “Fuck.”
She swallowed, her mouth suddenly bone-dry. “Yeah, we need to fuck.”

As always, the romance is super steamy. Shifters are passionate and carnal creatures and there’s a whole lot of sexy time going on. But it’s reflective of their relationship and the intensity of everything that is happening between them. And it’s balanced really well with the emotional side of things as Trick supports Frankie through the changes in her life, and coming to terms with the secrets of her past.

“You’re not only enough for me. You’re everything.”

And more than just the romance, there’s also a mystery aspect to the story that brings some action, suspense and excitement. The Phoenix Pack are involved in a dispute with a rival pack that puts them in danger, and then there’s the drama surrounding Frankie’s parents’ deaths and the disturbing nightmares that haunt her. I loved watching it all play out, and I loved how Trick and Frankie stand together through it all – having each other’s backs unquestionably and holding nothing back as they literally fight to claim the happy ending they both want.

I loved this book. It was lots of fun, with laugh-out-loud moments, action and excitement, and a fantastic romance that is both sexy and emotional. I loved Trick and Frankie as characters, and loved seeing them both together, and as part of the larger pack. And though it’s honestly getting a little hard to keep all of the other characters straight in my head, I did enjoy catching up with them and watching them embrace Frankie as one of their own (and drunken karaoke night sounds like a blast!).

This was a fantastic read. 4.5 stars.

Another great addition to the Phoenix Pack Series. It feels like we have been waiting an age to read Trick’s story and you will not be disappointed.

Frankie is a half shifter wolf who was brought up by her maternal grandparents after witnessing her parents’ deaths when she was very young. Her grandparents blame the pack for their daughter’s death, and have never told Frankie about her heritage. Trick meets Frankie when he tells her of her paternal grandmothers illness and know instantly that she is his mate.

The story is fast paced with a great plot. You will not be able to put it down.

I was given this ARC from netgalley to give an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book I have been waiting forever for Tricks story, I think what I like most is he knew right from the start and Frankie didn’t fight him on it she was right there with him. Frankie’s family and Cruz didn’t see that one coming but that’s what I love about all of Suzanne’s books she throws some crazy stuff at you but that’s what makes her a great author

4.5 stars

Suzanne Wright can write about anything and I'll read it and love it. She can make mates out of a capybara and a tortoise and I'll still think it's the bomb because she's simply that good, for me.

Here we may not have an unlikely pairing like her previous book (raven and wolf) but it was an interesting one nevertheless. It was also quite refreshing. SW follows a particular formula in her books and I love it but you've come to know more or less what to expect. In this book we had one major difference. Trick recognises and accepts that Frankie is his mate on sight so we don't have to jump through a ton of hoops and realisations to see our couple get together. He decides to make himself indispensable to her and win her over, not by barrelling to her in typical shifter fashion but slowly showing her with his actions that he'll be there for her and always will be.

"I know you're feeling like you're being pulled in different directions, but I'm the one person you don't have to try to please, because you please me by just existing. You're my priority. You get me?"

Frankie herself was also a refreshing element. She might be a dominant wolf but she was raised by her relatively conservative human family so for all intends and purposes she behaves like a human. She is in harmony with her wolf but doesn't display many of the traits of a dominant female wolf. And even though her wolf tests Trick, her resistance wasn't to the levels we usually read from the dominant females. (I said before I really want to see what Suzanne Wright can do with a human-shifter pairing or a truly submissive(Shaya doesn't count as she's not truly submissive)-dominant pair. ) Frankie is fiercely independent with a strong personality and has forged her own path despite the many objections and put-downs from her family.

I also enjoyed this one more in the sense that I could remember all of them as I have recently been "re-reading"(listening to the audio versions, Jill Redfield is fantastic for first time listeners like me) the series.

We have a mystery that unfolds from Frankie's past and I don't know what it says about me that I immediately knew one the baddies upon introduction as they hadn't shown any signs or said anything suspicious to set me down that path. Maybe I read way too much Agatha Christie as a teen. My brain just works in suspicious ways now. I wouldn't be surprised if I go to a restaurant and my brain yells "The waiter did it".

The packs (Phoenix and Mercury) unite again against a common enemy, this time Morelli is being an even bigger pest than in the previous books. The wolves are trying to figure out his motives and are not pleased with what they find. Things come to a head but I have a feeling the problem wont stop any time soon. It seems whenever our wolves cut off one head, another appears. Much like fighting a Hydra. Not that I am complaining, more heads means more books which makes me one happy camper.

As I have said many times before please do read this author. Especially if you love shifter books. They are the perfect blend of OTT Alphaness and Independent Heroine with a dash of destined mates and a sprinkling of danger and action.

Frankie was raised by her maternal grandparents and uncle after she witnessed her father killing her mother when she was 3 years old. She’s actually half wolf shifter and half human, but her family kept her away from her wolf family her entire life as they view them as uncivilized. They also lied to her about who exactly her parents were and how they died. When Frankie is contacted by her aunt Lydia she’s shocked. Lydia wants to see her because Lydia’s mother, Frankie’s paternal grandmother, is dying and would like to see Frankie before she dies. Needless to say, Frankie is pissed off at her human family for lying to her her entire life.

Frankie agrees to meet with Lydia but some others in the pack go along to the meeting. One of those is Trick who knew Frankie when she was just a toddler. When he sees her again he knows immediately that Frankie is his mate. Trick was always open to finding his mate and knew that whenever he met her he wouldn’t fuck around. He’d just go up to her and tell her and they’d claim each other – easy peasy. When he realizes it’s Frankie he knows he needs to tread carefully as she’s not ready to hear that she’s his mate. She’s already dealing with a lot by just finding out that she has other family that she knew nothing about.

Despite Trick saying that he wasn’t going to lay the whole “mate” thing on Frankie it doesn’t mean he can keep himself away from her. He shows up at her house and as Frankie feels so comfortable with him she doesn’t have any objections about them getting close. She soon figures out for herself what’s going on and she’s not opposed to the idea at all.

Unfortunately, as she gets more enmeshed in the Phoenix pack the more curious she is to find out about what went wrong with her parents. When she starts to have a few dreams about what happened she doesn’t like what she starts to figure out about her mom and dad.

This was another great story in the Phoenix Pack series. I’ve loved this pack since I started reading about them back in 2012. Wright has a wonderful way of writing shifter romances that I just love. They dynamics with the pack are always great to read about and adding in a new character who’s as cool as Frankie was a bonus.

Trick was perfect for Frankie. He could take things slow with her until she got used to idea of being mates and I loved his patience. In the past he had been with both men and women and he was up front about that with Frankie. He didn’t want her to hear from others about the men he’d been with, especially as one of those men was in the Phoenix pack. The fact that he’d been with men before did cause an issue at one point in the story but not between Trick and Frankie. Once those two were together they stuck like glue, I’m happy to say.

There was also another part of the book where Trey, the Alpha of the Phoenix pack was dealing with someone who wanted to create an alliance with the pack, but Trey wasn’t having any of it. Trick got caught up in this and it caused some issues as well. Luckily Trick dealt with this quickly and efficiently.

Overall this was a great book and a wonderful addition to the series.

Rating: 4 out of 5

This will post as a guest review on Book Binge.

I wish i could give this book 6 stars.
Suzanne is one of my favourite authors.
Receiving an ARC of Wild Hunger was amazing.

This book is freaking fantastic.
literally could not stop reading it once started.
(even read it whilst cooking)
Trick & Frankie are one of my favourite couples.
Trick allows the relationship to go at Frankie's pace, which makes me love him more !
Frankie's sense of humour is hilarious.

I literally wish i could read this book for the first time all over again.

It is AMAZING !

This is Frankie and Tricks story! I feel like I have been waiting for Tricks story for forever!! Trick has been looking for his true mate for years and is totally open to mating, so it’s no surprise that he recognizes her onsite. Frankie was raised among humans so she isn’t as open to mating and didn’t realize he was her mate. Will trick he able to knock down her walls?

Suzanne Wright's books are always highly anticipated. This one was full of surprises. I really liked the lead characters Tricks and Frankie. The chemistry was great between them and within the pack. Can't wait for the next one.

Suzanne Wright returned to the Phoenix Pack with Wild Hunger. This was a scorching hot paranormal romance that I couldn't put down.

This story flew by at a lightening fast pace and was loaded with surprises for Trick and Frankie. OMG ! Trick was super sweet and made such an awesome alpha hero. Frankie was so cool and no pushover herself, especially when it came to her pushy family. They were both very likeable and definitely had me rooting for them.

I can't wait to read the next book !
