As the alpha wolf of Cascadia, Cade has always put the needs of his pack before his own, even his growing need to find
his mate so he will no longer feel so alone.  It doesn’t look like he’s going to have time to search for her in the near future
either, not with Warren Pellini and his twisted mob having access to a biological weapon that kills humans and werewolves
alike.  Nothing prepared Cade for the arrival of the woman he’s been waiting for all his life.  Surrounded by danger and
with a spine of steel hidden in a petite frame Grace holds his soul from the first time he scents her.  

After being banished from her pack because of the actions of her evil and hated brother; Grace Pellini is now courting
danger by gathering information for the Nationally Allied Packs in an effort to stop her brother Warren’s latest evil
plot.  Coming in to give her report Grace is shocked to find her mate sitting at the meeting.  Cade is everything Grace
ever wanted in a mate, strong, loyal and caring.  Occasionally his pushy and protective nature is overbearing and
upsetting but Grace is willing to work with Cade to help him put his protective instincts aside and rule the pack at his side.

However when Warren’s biological weapon threatens Cades life it is Graces turn to put her protective instincts aside
and come up with a solution to save Cade’s life.

Heavy tension keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first page of
Standoff and refuses to let you go.  The
complex pack relations mixed with the burgeoning mate relationship between Cade and Grace make for some especially
emotional moments as balance between pack and family is learnt by both.  Cade is an exceptional alpha male, born alpha
with the power to control a pack with a few words his consuming need to love and protect his pack and mate make you feel

a strong bond with this intense male.  Grace is a strong woman who is willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, her
inner strength and ability to stand up to Cade will have you smiling even as you find yourself feeling a friendly closeness
with her.  

Sex between Cascadia mates is always intense and
Standoff is no exception Cade and Grace come together with an
instant love and lust that is astounding and extremely intense dragging the reader into their passion enveloping you in a
loving warmth that is made all the more intense by the emotions that swirl through them.  

While it would be possible to read
Standoff as a standalone you will receive much more enjoyment and understanding
of the characters and motives if you start the series at the beginning.  With other Cascadia Wolves still looking for mates

and a whole new world to explore I can only hope that Ms. Dane isn’t finished with the fantastic Cascadia Wolves
series.
