Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Big Bad Wolf Series 4

By: Charlie Adhara

Narrated by: Erik Bloomquist

Agent Cooper Dayton is almost relieved to get a phone call from his former boss at the Bureau of Special Investigations. It means a temporary reprieve from tensions created by house hunting with Oliver Park, his partner both in work and in life. Living together in a forever home is exactly what Cooper wants. He's just not keen on working out the details.

With a former alpha werewolf missing, Cooper and Park are loaned to the BSI to conduct the search at a secluded mountain retreat. The agents will travel to the resort undercover...as a couple in need of counseling.

The resort is picturesque, the grounds are stunning and the staff members are all suspicious as hell.

With a long list of suspects and danger lurking around every cabin, Cooper should be focusing on the case. But he's always been anxious about the power dynamics in his relationship with Park, and participating in the couples' activities at the retreat brings it all to the surface. A storm is brewing, though, and Cooper and Park must rush to solve the case before the weather turns. Or before any more guests-or the agents themselves-end up dead.

Contains mature themes.

4.5 Stars ⭐️

This series just keeps getting better.

This time, an old alpha werewolf is missing and the two agents are sent to work undercover at a retreat for couples that he was last seen working at. This is a very unique retreat that addresses the reality of shifters - in other words - the wolves are "out" here and can be themselves. Park is looking forward to actually being undercover and being able to step away from his identity as the Shephard.

As you would expect, things go from bad to worse when people start dying. There are secrets within secrets and the two of them find themselves in the middle of some craziness that has been brewing for a really long time.

Wow! Amazing!!

This was my favorite book in the series! It was brilliant and I loved every word. The narrator was amazing.

Another great story.

This is another great story in this series. I can’t get enough of the great writing and the story of these two men. Men who are law enforcement agents and oh, they just happened to be gay and in love. Great story.

Fascinating story!

I love this so much! This book is my favorite in the series so far. Cooper is so damn funny. He and Oliver are both badasses. I love how much they love each other. They make my heart squish. 😍 This series is awesome, and Charlie Adhara is a genius!
I don't listen to ai or virtual voice, so I'm glad the audiobook narrator is a human. This was fun to listen to. Erik Bloomquist did amazing voice acting.

World building continues

In book 4, Parker and Cooper’s relationship is more secure but Cooper is floundering with his sense of individuality and self confidence. He knows he loves Parker but is having difficulty believing they are a forever and happy couple.
Charlie Adhara writes a good mystery that further develops wolf nature and the reality of the human/wolf cultural landscape. I found Cooper’s incessant self doubt tiresome but the mystery combined with Parker’s solid character kept me listening.
I don’t care for Eric Bloomquist’s narration. He’s got a monotone style that makes Cooper’s constant internal conflict and outward avoidance of telling Parker how he truly feels more irritating than the dialogue itself.
Rated the narration 3 stars due to the monotone performance.
Rated story 4 stars due to excessive angst in Cooper’s internal back and forth.
