If you like dark twisted romance laced with a hit of mystery this is for you. There are vivid descriptions and gruesome scenes so it’s not for the squeamish.

Gabriel (Wolfe) and Brinley are the epitome of opposites attract. They couldn’t be more different if they tried. She was a good girl who grew up in church and was warned away from his motorcycle club members. But one glimpse into the club and she’s undeniably hooked. Curious. Oh boy does that put her in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now she’s his. His “problem to sort” but he doesn’t want to sort it. He wants to keep her. They have a gravitational pull to each other that they can’t explain. Settle in for lots of spicy chapters!!

I didn’t guess the ending which is a huge bonus for me, I like to be surprised!

I enjoyed their story and it did leave me wanting to read about more of the club members and their stories!

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest opinion.

This book was exactly what I needed to get out of a reading slump. Dark, intense, and dripping with tension- Wolfe is the kind of romance that doesn’t let go.

Though it includes insta-lust, I appreciated how both main characters resisted and processed their feelings rather than diving in headfirst. Their growth felt earned. The spice is heavy and central to the story, but not just for the sake of it- it strengthens their emotional connection.

This is not a soft romance. It’s violent, gory, and full of trigger-heavy moments, so I strongly suggest readers check warnings. But if you're into dark MC romances with strong chemistry and gritty vibes, this is one I highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley, Evermore and Paisley Hope for allowing me to read Wolf.e. 3.5 *
This was my first motorbike gang read and I think there’s a reason for that! I enjoyed the spice - it was spicing! But that’s mostly where it ended for me unfortunately. Gangs just don’t do it for me, I’m not a huge fan of over-the-top violence and men being massive sluts but ‘it’s ok cos he’s the boss’. Not a trope for me.
I struggled with the chemistry - wasn’t much there for me. I did appreciate Gabriel opening up to Brinley and actually communicating - plus star for him!
I struggled with the friendship between the girls - it didn’t come across as childhood friends at all, it seemed very surface level and I missed that friendship and ‘found family’.
I enjoyed the writing style and it was an easy read, I would definitely try other books by this author but I wouldn’t return for more motorbikes I’m afraid! #NetGalley #wolfe #paisleyhope

For some reason my the long review I wrote didn't save.
This is a good MC dark romance. The spice was well written and quite kinky. The levels of plot to spice was just right amount with plenty of action and a sprinkling of murder to keep it interesting.

3,5✨

This was my first novel by Paisley Hope and I am intrigued to read more of her work! Sons of Anarchy is one of my absolute favorite series so I was immediately drawn to this story yet I did feel like plotwise that it was a bit lacking. The romance between the two main characters also kind of felt like an insta love which didn't feel quite right especially due to how the writer describes the MMC, Wolfe. Brinley, our FMC, did have a lot of character growth which I appreciated but yet again, I did not feel like Wolfe had the same growth like she had. If you don't like spice, I would say that this book is absolutely NOT for you. I love spicy scenes but even I thought that sometimes it would be better to see some more emotional connection between them instead of only the lust.

Overall, the writing was very pleasant and as I said before, I am very curious about her other books (looking at you; Silver pines ranch series). I just expected something more from this one.

2.5 stars (I'm being gracious here tbh)

this was... WHERE IS THE PLOT?
It infuriates me when I'm looking for a good MC romance book (possibly a series), and the book is just smüt.
I feel like nothing happened; it was just insta-lust, spice and that was it. For me, I came to this book looking for MC life, and all I found was spice... It's boring.
also, if your book is 90% smüt and has little to no plot, then that's not romance, that's erot!ca. I'm just saying.
Still the little glimpses of plot... that was cool, and I did enjoy it.

thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a binge-worthy read! I enjoyed the storyline - the setting within the motorcycle club was great. Slight Sons of Anarchy Vibes 😍 I adored the side characters as well as our two leads.
My overall thoughts are a little split however...as much as I liked it, I found it cringey in some parts and that pulled me out of the story so I give it 3.75 stars.
I'm definitely looking forward to book 2 coming out!

Thank you so much to Evermore for the ARC via NetGalley and for giving me the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on this book.

"What I know is, I want Brinley Rose Beaumont in a way I can’t comprehend, and I’m nowhere near done uncovering the darkness in her."

"He's a hunter whose only purpose is to trap his prey, and right now his prey is me."

🔥 Dark MC Romance | Spice overload | Opposites attract

Brinley is done being the good girl. So she ditches her picture-perfect life and returns to her hometown — only to crash into the world of the Hounds of Hell, an outlaw club that rules the shadows. And in the center of it all? Gabriel Wolfe. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. Until her.

He’s the kind of man you should run from. The kind of man who breaks you and ruins you in the best possible way. But the moment Brinley looks into his eyes, the rest of the world fades.

One weekend. One mistake. One brutal secret later… and she becomes his captive instead of his craving.
He was supposed to kill her.
But how do you destroy the only person who makes you feel alive?

This book is dark, twisted, and dripping with tension. Gabriel is the kind of morally gray antihero who will ruin every book boyfriend after him, and Brinley’s descent into his world is seductive and addictive. Think: 🔥 forced proximity, forbidden touch, found darkness, and zero chance of turning back.

⚠️ Heavy spice. Heavy obsession. And zero apologies.
If you love your romance feral, filthy, and full of bite — this one’s for you.

Thanks to @netgalley and the publisher for granting me an ARC of #wolfe in exchange for my honest review.

Xoxo😘

I really LOVED this book from the very beginning until the end. Gabriel Wolfe was exactly the kind of bad boy hero I hoped for, dark, mysterious, and very possessive, but at the same time, he showed deep feelings and complexity. He wasn’t perfect, but that made him more real and interesting. Brinley’s character was also amazing. At first, she felt like someone many women can relate to — trying to find herself and break away from a difficult past. Watching her grow stronger and more confident because of her experiences and her connection with Gabriel was very inspiring. Their chemistry was electric, and the slow build of their relationship made every moment between them exciting and believable. The author created a found family feeling that made the story feel warm and complete, even though it was dark and sometimes intense. I didn’t expect some twists, and those made the story even more interesting and kept me turning pages. It was definitely one of my favorite reads, and I gave it 5 stars easily. I can’t wait to see what she writes next. Thank you so much to the author, Random House UK, Evermore and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read the book in advance, I received this for free and I'm leaving a honest review

Wolf.e is a sinful, high-octane ride that had me absolutely feral from page one. This book oozes danger, desire, and that dark, gritty tension you only get from a story dripping in adrenaline and lust.

Paisley Hope delivers a brutal, addictive romance full of heat and raw emotion. I don’t usually scream out loud while reading… but this one had me losing it more than once.

If you like your love stories messy, dirty, and dangerously intense… this one’s for you.

I don’t read much MC romances but I wanted to give it a try with Paisley Hope after loving every Silver Pines books, and to be fair I really liked that aspect of the book. It made for an interesting story and it was fun to discover more about the club alongside Brinley who comes as an outsider, just like us readers.

Unfortunately, that was kind of it for me. Besides this one good thing, there were quite a few too many things I didn’t like and so I didn’t really enjoy the book so much.

Firstly, I really dislike stories where the FMC is that naive and innocent little thing versus the MMC being all dark and criminal, it’s just not a dynamic that works for me. Brinley had some moments of being more independent and snarky, and she got better in the end, but it was too late and not enough for me to find her interesting.

Secondly, too much of instalust for me. They see each other across the street and bam they’re both obsessed with each other…

So far, these two points are very much personal preferences, if neither bother you, you might just love the book. Unfortunately, in addition to this, the members of the club had to be complete inconsistent and claim they were the outstanding club that didn’t hurt women and children but also suddenly all want Brinley dead because she’s at the wrong place at the wrong time… I couldn’t look past how stupid that was.

It was still entertaining, but because of all of that it’s a pretty low 3 stars for me. I would probably give the next book in this series a chance, hoping for a FMC with more of a backbone - that honestly would have been enough for me to turn this book around.

Dnf at 68%

This is not what I was expecting. First of all there are typos and English grammar mistakes that annoyed me.
Then secondly, I didn’t care about any of the club business, I was desperate to skip those paragraphs. The relationship between Brin and Layla was really shallow when they’re supposed to be childhood friends.
Overall, this really has the same plot as Cruel King by Rina Kent that I also really didn’t enjoy.

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK for the ARC

I liked this book but not as much as Paisley Hope's cowboy romances, though this one is much darker than the Silver Pines Ranch series with a lot more smut and lot more murder.

Brinley is a good southern girl, raised by a strict, religious family but both her parents die when she's young so when she moves back to her hometown of Harmony, she has a pretty nice house to live in. She gets back in touch with her best friend, Layla, only to find out she's marrying someone from the local MC - a group she was always warned to stay away from because they're dangerous.

But then she sees Wolfe and she's a goner. After telling everyone for years that he'll never sleep with the same woman twice and will never settle down, Wolfe is instantly drawn to her and must have her. Wolfe thrives on her fear, knowing it's something that turns her on and he's determined to get her to let her freak flag fly

Sprinkled in amongst all the smut (which is pretty hot to be fair!), there is a small amount of plot, mainly around Brinley witnessing the lengths Wolfe will go to to keep his club safe - including murder.

There is a bit of blood play in the smutty scenes so if this isn't your thing, I'd recommend staying away. But at the same time, no one bleeds that much from a scratch that it would be dripping off your body onto someone else's continuously!!

I really liked both characters and I loved the smut. I thought both characters grew quite a lot even if it was pretty obvious how that was going to happen from the beginning, but I love a bad boy who thinks love doesn't exist finally meet his queen and realise she's the thing that's been missing from his life all this time.

Also, it was nice not to have a damsel in distress that needs saving by her man! I do wish there had been a bit more plot mixed in but maybe we'll learn more about the club in the next books in the series.

Thanks to NetGalley and Evermore for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

3.5 Stars

Wolfe is a fast-paced read full of steam and action from the very start. The chemistry between the characters is intense, and the story definitely keeps the tension high with plenty of romantic and dangerous moments.

That said, I did feel it lacked a bit of depth when it came to character development and world-building. With a little more background and detail, it could have been even more immersive.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable, steamy escape for fans of quick, action-packed romance reads.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Instant 5 stars🤌🏻🔥👏🏻😍
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is one of the best Dark Romances i’ve read in a while! I adoreee all of the dark romance side of things but i also do love a good plot and when it’s written as amazingly as Paisley has with Wolf.e, it’s an instant love and an absolute FAVE for me😍🔥👏🏻

To start off i am obsessed with Every. Damn. Thing. About Brinley & Gabriel (Wolfe)🥹😍🥰

Brinley Rose Beaumont has settled into to a monotonous life and routine with someone who struggles to give her the attention and affection she so clearly wants, so heads home and settles back into her once childhood home & bumping into and old friend who she grew up with, realising she is getting married to a member of a motorcycle club “Hounds Of Hell” and Brinley instantly panics for her friend after all of the dark rumours and stories she has heard through life. Instantly aware and unsure of her friends future, she sticks around and unwillingly attends her friends wedding, but then something changes when she stands in front of the president of the Hounds Of Hell MC. A fire kindles in her that she’s never felt before but always longed for and her curiosity grows as he becomes obsessed with her in a short amount of time. The rest of the story is history😏🤌🏻🔥


OKAY EVERYONE…👀👏🏻

I absolutely ADORED the progression of Brin & Wolfes relationship the deeper into the book we got but also the plot and the personal development of their characters in their separate POVs throughout this whole time. I LOVED going on this journey with them both into the Hounds Of Hell territory and everything that came with it, the good, the bad, the sexy, the violent, the darkness, the pure possessive and obsession they had for each other. I just loved every damn second of this book wholly.

The world building was brilliant to begin with that instantly has you hooked, seeing how Brinley & Wolfe lived their lives separately before finally meeting and then never looking back. Of course they would try to live their lives without each other but the RAW passion and obsession that happens between them is inevitable 🔥🔥

THE DAMN SPICE MY GOSH🔥🔥🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ the way that Brinley & Wolfe’s spicy encounters increased over time but also the way that their relationship & individual personalities grow throughout the book just made these moments more and more unique and HOT AS HELL😍🥰🔥 Some of those specific moments had me feeling some type of way for real😏🤌🏻🔥

I also loved all of the supporting characters in this book it really bought the feeling of family and protection into the whole plot and getting to learn along the way as Brin is opened up to this world she was always warned to stay away from but every single person that is written into this so beautifully by Paisley enriches the story ten fold and really brought the plot and the “found family” vibes truly to life with the development of the plot👏🏻🥰

Brin & Wolfe’s story will live rent free in my head probably for the rest of my life, i am incredibly obsessed with them and this whole MC universe that Paisley has created😍 and will ALWAYS be the first to recommend it as one of my top dark romance reads! Gabriel is a book boyfriend that will go down in history😏😍 and Brinley’s personal journey into becoming the woman an absolute QUEEN she was always meant to be will always be one of my FAVES👏🏻🔥

I am so thankful to have read this book, i gave this review voluntarily after receiving this for free from Netgalley😍 i will also be posting my review on instagram & amazon too very soon! 🌹❤️

Thank you to Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The writing was strong and the story had some seriously dark and gripping moments, which I wasn’t expecting, but love! And the spice? Some of the best I’ve read; it was intense, well-written, and seriously so spicy, omg. Gabriel’s character was a definite highlight for me too; dark, broody, obsessive, tattooed and pierced!

This was a little too on the insta lust side for me, which can be a hit or miss, and given how dark this was, I wasn’t quite sold on the romantic chemistry between Brinley and Gabriel. I still found parts of the story engaging, especially towards the end.

Overall, this was a dark, spicy ride and I’m intrigued to see where the rest of the series goes!

OOFT spicy.
Paisley Hope always delivers when it comes to raunchy reads. More hardcore(?) than her Silver Pines series, Wolf.e doesn't disappoint!
4 stars.

This book offers a compelling and well-paced narrative that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The author demonstrates a strong command of storytelling, blending vivid descriptions with relatable characters and thought-provoking themes. Whether you're a fan of the genre or new to it, the book provides a satisfying mix of entertainment and insight. While some parts may feel predictable or slow, the overall experience is rewarding and memorable. A solid read for anyone looking to get lost in a good story.

3.75 rounded up.

Thank you to NetGalley, Paisley Hope and the publishers for this ARC! This was my first Paisley Hope book and therefore I had no expectations going into this book.

Wolf.E is a motorcycle club dark romance book following, and as a Sons of Anarchy STAN, how could I say no to a world that I already love, and have added spice!? Say no more! We follow our MMC, club president; Wolfe, and our FMC, Brinley, who recently moved back to her hometown where the MC is situated. Before deciding to read this I had said to myself that I wanted to read a morally MMC, and holy smokes did this deliver 😮‍💨 he is morally grey and then some!

This was a pretty easy read, the plot flowed well and although I found it predictable, it was still an enjoyable read. There was definitely a lot of spice in this, which was fine, however there were times when it was like oh buckle up here we go again! But hey, it’s a dark romance 🤭. And I have to say, that bike spice scene? IMPECCABLE! And somehow at the time I was reading that scene, Free Bird came on, talk about perfect timing for that scene!

I look forward stepping back into the Soldiers of Bedlam series when the next book comes out, as well as diving into Paisley’s other work!

Thank you so much to Evermore for allowing me to read Wolf.e in exchange for an honest review.

Welllll!! I don't think I've ever blushed & giggled so much whilst reading a book... I loved Paisley's Silver Pines series and it's safe to say I loved Wolfe!

It's the first proper dark romance that I've read & it was certainly an eyeopener 🤣 I'm a vanilla lil soul 🤭 I've read spicy books, but this was next level spice 🌶

I'd definitely check the trigger warnings before you start reading though because it's pretty dark in bits.

I loved following Brinley's journey from being a supressed version of herself to coming fully out of her shell thanks to a certain motorcycle club President 👀 The insta love didn't bother me too much in this because it felt like it suited the storyline & setting.

Overall, I really enjoyed Wolfe and I've rated it 4.5✨️, only because the period scene just made me feel a wee bit weird 🤣

If you love small town romance, forced proximity (ugh, always! 😍), lots of spice (vindaloo level!) and some drama, then this is the book for you!
