4.5 stars

Wolf.E was an addictive read. Gabriel is the definition of the broody MC hero. He's dark, dangerous, and absolutely not anyone you want to cross. He takes no prisoners, and when Brinley sees something she shouldn’t, he gives her two choices: be his or die. Naturally, she chooses to live… but she has no idea how much her world is about to change.

Brinley is the prim, proper, and polished heroine, but Gabriel finds out a darker side she never explored. Her character growth was phenomenal—watching her step into her true self was honestly one of my favorite parts of the book. And while Gabriel may be rough around the edges, the way he supports her transformation is addictive to read.

The chemistry between them is intense, the tension crackles off the page, and the story isn’t afraid to lean into some darker themes. And while Gabriel may be rough around the edges, the way he supports her transformation is addictive to read.

I’m shocked to say I didn’t love this😭
I love all of Paisleys other books but this one didn’t quite hit the same. Maybe I’m not into bikers who knows.
I did love Layla and her friendship with Brinley but I just got massive ick from Gabriel.

Will continue the series as I do hope I enjoy it more.

I’m a sucker for a dark biker romance and this had me hooked from the very beginning!

I’m on my knees for Wolfe and Brinley. Wolfe is the club president and badass MMC. He didn’t care about women or relationships until he met Brinley. The bad boy x good girl trope is one of my favourites. Wolfe was instantly down bad for Brinley and couldn’t get enough of her. I loved Brinley so much, as the book went on she became so much for confident and strong!

This book was so damn spicy I couldn’t get enough of it! I never wanted it to end!

This book was such a fun ride, excuse the pun! Dark, deliciously smutty, and packed with tension from the very start. In true dark Romance form, the guy is completely obsessed with her and he falls hard and fast. He might be the most feared man in town, but to her? He’s safe, soft, and completely captivated. I loved how he broke all his own rules the moment he met her — he just had to have her close.

This was actually my first MC romance, and wow! I'm hooked, what a wild, intense introduction! Wolfe was such an intriguing MMC. Yes, he definitely pushed Brinley's boundaries — some scenes were a little... questionable — but their dynamic really worked for me. He awakened something dark in her, and she, in turn, brought out something softer in him. It was messy and intense, but in the perfect way.

Brinley’s character arc was one of my favorite parts — it felt like she finally discovered her real self through their relationship. She shed all the pressure and expectations placed on her by her family and fully stepped into her own power.

This one’s definitely 75% smut and 25% plot, so if you’re in the mood for a fast-paced, spicy, dark romance, that you 100% need head phones for — absolutely give it a go.

Thank you to netgalley for this ARC. Goodreads review up now.

Wolf.e by Paisley Hope is a dark, atmospheric fantasy that completely swept me away. 🐺✨ From the very first chapter, the tension builds beautifully, pulling you into a world of secrets, danger, and survival.

The writing is haunting and immersive, with vivid descriptions that make the setting come alive. I really enjoyed the layered characters — flawed, complex, and constantly evolving as the stakes grow higher. The dynamic between the leads had me hooked, and there are plenty of unexpected twists that kept me on edge right until the very end.

There were moments where I wished for a little more world-building detail, but the gripping plot and emotional weight more than made up for it. Paisley Hope has a real talent for creating an intense, consuming reading experience that stays with you long after you close the book.

If you love dark fantasy with strong characters, rich emotions, and a touch of danger, Wolf.e is definitely one to add to your TBR. 🌙📖

A big thank you to @authorpaisleyhope @netgalley for my ARC, I'm super grateful 🫶🏻 I ATE THIS UP 👏🏻 couldn't put it down and devoured in one sitting! I mean a biker gang & good girl gone bad what more could I ask for?!😏 the spice was HOT 🔥🥵 loved the suspense, it had me captivated from the get go! Adored the found fam aspect and cannot wait to read the rest of the series! Would highly recommend reading this absolute beaut!!🖤✨

I’m so obsessed with anything Paisley Hope writes!!! And this one was absolute perfection. I read this one in 24 hours because I just couldn’t put it down.
I loved the characters and their story. Absolutely perfection. Can’t wait to read the next books in this series!!!!

Wolf.E

This is the second of Paisley’s novels - and this one was quite a bit different. This is the first motorcycle club romance I’ve read & my honest opinion is - it wasn’t too bad. The spice is spicing - but like a lot of the reviews suggest - the spice is there, the story not so much.
Brinley breaks up with her boyfriend & has to leave her comfortable life & return home to her small southern home town - she bumps into her old best friend - and is soon shocked to find she is about to become the old lady of a member of the notorious Hounds Of Hell motorcycle club.
Brinley is thrust into the MC life - she encounters club president Wolfe - and her life changes beyond all recognition.
Brinley is a good girl, Wolfe is a bad boy. Wolfe doesn’t do relationships and he doesn’t do love.
If you like spice, you like a manly man, you like the MC vibes & you like small down romance - this may be for you. I enjoyed it - but I think cowboy romance is more my thing.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this arc.

This isn’t my normal read but it was fast paced and kept me wanting more throughout my time reading it! It was a good palate cleanser and I would definitely recommend!

- Motorcycle Romance
- Forced Proximity
- Touch her and die
- Morally Grey MMC
- Good girl x bad boy
- NOT a slow burn


This is the first book I’ve read that has a motorcycle club in it and I think I’ve unlocked a new trope. I will definitely be searching for some more motorcycle books in the future and I really can’t wait for more from this club.
As always the best bit was how he was completely different with her than any other woman before her and everyone around is so confused.

I really enjoyed seeing Brinley’s growth as a character from being a good girl and wanting all the right things at the start of the story to seeing how she evolved and became her true self towards the end.

The only thing I didn’t fully get along with within this book was this type of blood play. It wasn’t something that I particularly liked about the story but I also felt it fit in well with the characters and the scene at the time. It’s just a personal feeling towards it. Otherwise I really enjoyed the book and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Review rounded up for 3.5 stars.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, and liked Brinley's smart and feisty spirit. But for me, the insta lust just seemed to give her a personality transplant.

One minute she's asking if Wolfe's magic in bed to have all these women fawning over him, and then boom one night with him and all of a sudden she's just as smitten as everyone else.

I liked the club rivalry aspect, but I'd have liked more from that particular part of the story.

I'd still be interested to read more from this author featuring other members from HOH (Hounds of Hell) but I'd love more substance over spice.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this book via Netgalley.

Ladies and gentleman! Paisley Hope has done it again, I could not put this book DOWN! I needed it to be about 2000 pages longer and even then it wouldn’t have been enough. The chemistry, the build - I could scream !!!!!!

I'm going to dnf for now.... Too dark, spicy and insta love /lust for me right now.

I am planning to go back to it when I'm in the right mood 🫠

Little plot, lots of spice

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

Okay, this was different than I expected.

I know Paisley from her cowboy stories, which I love, and was very hyped for a dark MC story. And “Wolf.e” is definitely darker.

Unfortunately, Wolf and Brinsley's story fell a little flat for me. Even though the storyline had its exciting moments, there was a lot missing for me. However, that was to be expected for a single book.

In any case, the beginning grabbed me straight away! And this book really has a lot of spice!

If you look up obsessed and brooding mmc in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Gabriel Wolf, president of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club. And man, this guy really beats every obsessed guy I've ever read about. He's also unbending and won't bend for anyone - not even Brinsley.

Brinsley was one of the biggest surprises in the story for me. She is thrown into a brutal and merciless situation and she goes from a rather naive woman to a real bad ass fmc!

Demanding sexy and spicy .

A name like Wolfe can only mean one thing bad boy but first name is an Angel - Gabriel.

He’s obsessed , small town , single dad, age gap .

Paisley hope you have a new fan and a book club recommendation for my book choice ❤️

This was so good!!!

I was hooked from the first page.

This was giving major SoA vibes and I am here for it.

The chemistry between Brinley and Wolfe was electric. "There isn't a thought in my head that doesn't start and end with you." aaah

And the hair washing!!! I freaking love it.

So so good and one I will defo re-read.

I’ve not read a motorcycle club based romance in ages, so this was a welcome change for me. Wolf.e is / has:
🏍️ F/M motorcycle club romance - so expect a romance with a darker edge
🏍️ Insta-lust
🏍️ Dual POV
🏍️ Start of the The Soldiers of Bedlam series

In Wolf.e we follow Brinley, who fresh out of a breakup returns to her hometown. On her return she quickly gets swept into the local motorcycle club via her old friend, Layla, as well as her attraction to the club’s President, Gabriel Wolfe.
This was a fast paced story, which I’ve come to expect from this author. As with her other stories this was romance / relationship focused, although we do have some wider narrative with the motorcycle club. Because this is focused on
romance and attraction between Brinely and Wolfe, there are many spicy scenes, which include some exploration of kink.
However, what I enjoyed most was Brinley being given the tools to look after herself, alongside understanding what she wants and enjoys in terms of intimacy and a relationship. As a consequence, it did feel that Brinley developed through the story.
Yet, I wanted more tension between our main characters (this is always a struggle when an instant attraction is part of the romantic plot and obstacles are few). There is tension in the wider storyline which does counter this a little.
I’ll definately be reading the second book when that releases.
(And a side note on how STUNNING the cover is, and the cover of the second book!)

In short, this would a be a good read for people that enjoy the romance sub-genre of motorcycle club romances, or a fan of this authors other work.

Wolf.e was my first book by Paisley Hope. I have her cowboy romance books on my tbr but this looked right up my street, plus it’s been a while since I’ve read an MC romance. I love the cover for this book, it’s what originally caught my eye. Its the perfect mix of vintage bodice ripper style cover art thst appears with a modern element.
This is a true motorcycle club romance, with opposites attract, very alpha male energy. Brinley is working hard to get her promotion. Dealing with her sleazy boss is one of the things on her list of things to handle. After she is let go and propositioned by her boss, Brin is excited for the special dinner her long term boyfriend has arranged, and she suspects he is about to propose. Unfortunately for Brin, he announces a promotion and plan to move to NYC – without her. Finally sick and tired of being treated like rubbish, Brin ends tje relationship and returns to her hometown to start her life again. After running into her childhood best friend Layla oh her hen do (bachelorette) for those in America, Brin discovers Layla is totally different from the debutante teen she knew years ago. As her wedding to MC bad boy Ax approaches , Brin is thrown, albeit apprehensively, into MC life meeting President Wolfe, a scary ex-military man who runs the MC in her local town. Brin grew up being warned about the local club, about how dangerous they were. Now her friend is fully immersed in that life, Brin finds herself gravitating towards mysterious Pres Wolfe who also feels a connection with picture perfect Brinley.
As Brin witnesses some club activity, her choices are limited and she becomes engrossed in club life, and her developing relationship with Wolfe.
This book was fun to read. I found the insta love between the pair quite lacklustre. There was no tension, or build up. It was incredibly spicy, I think the love scenes became the primary focus throughout the book. Although a lot was happening within the plot, the primary focus was their romance. By the end Brin was a completely different character to the one introduced at tje start. I enjoyed her growth in confidence but she lost her original qualities.
I think of you’re interested in this book for MC lore and the nitty gritty of dangerous life then this may not be the perfect book. If you’re after spice, spice and a little more spice with a side of motorcycles and growly, grunting male characters then you may enjoy it.
Thank you for the eARC!

Wolf.e by Paisley Hope is a dark and addictive biker romance. The story follows Brinley, a good girl with a soft heart, and Gabriel Wolfe, the dangerous and morally grey president of the Hounds of Hell motorcycle club. They’re complete opposites, but their connection is instant and impossible to ignore.
What I loved most was Brinley’s growth, she starts off quiet and reserved but slowly finds her strength and voice, while Wolfe is all danger, obsession, and protectiveness. The chemistry between them is intense, full of tension, and the spice is definitely top tier. But beyond the heat, the plot was engaging, with just the right mix of grit, romance, and emotion.
If you enjoy motorcycle romances with spice, passion, and strong characters , this one is for you.
Very grateful to the publisher for my copy through NetGalley, opinions are my own

Wolf.e is a very hot, sexy, and easy read despite the dark moments of the motorcycle club. It was my first MC book, and it won't be my last!
Brinley's nerves really helped ease me into the world, and I enjoyed her character development. It was also great to see Wolfe softening as the book went on.
Really enjoyed it, and looking forward to the next books in the series!

4.25/5
