Wolver's Gold

The Wolvers, Book 5

By: Jacqueline Rhoades

Narrated by: Leah Frederick

Finding gold where you least expect it... Lone wolf and Special Investigator for the ubiquitous Eugene Begley, Challenger McCall is sent to the town of Gold Gulch to take care of a problem that might involve the exposure of the wolver community. For McCall, it's like stepping back in time - 150 years back in time. Gold Gulch is a tourist attraction where the wolvers take their work so seriously, they continue their Victorian lives long after the tourists have gone home. Much like their 19th century counterparts, the women are overworked and underpaid. Rachel Kincaid is one such woman. Exercising the only power she holds, she has become a wolver oddity; a spinster who refuses to mate. Why would she, when she already has to take care of the short-staffed hotel, its restaurant, and her ne'er-do-well father? Angry and bitter, Rachel decides she deserves a better hand than the one she's been dealt and finds herself drawn to the handsome new sheriff, Challenger McCall. Why shouldn't she, for once in her life, enjoy the same freedom as the Soiled Doves on the hill? Things get complicated when Rachel's wolf awakens after a long sleep and the town's women seem to awaken along with it. Papa's gambling debts leave them on the brink; the pack is at risk; and the women rebel. Oh, and don't forget the murders. If ever a pack needed rescuing, Gold Gulch is it, but as the girls up at Daisy's Bouquet point out - A smart woman needs to look after herself!

Wolver's Gold is a nugget of fun

The Audio book was fun to listen to. The character of Rachel was well developed and the concept of old times in today's world was new. The majority of the narration was ok. The only complaint is that Leah cannot pronounce "wolf". It comes out as "woof' dropping the L. It was distracting.

Wonderful!

Another great Wolver story. I've enjoy all the past books, and look forward to the next one!

Entertaining read

What other book might you compare Wolver's Gold to and why?

This series is similar to Christine Feehan's series " leopard " in that it has strong likable characters who get involved in a dangerous situation while they become emotionally involved with each other.

What does Leah Frederick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Leah Frederick brings a depth and dimension to the story with her performance. For those of us who can no longer pick up a book she brings a richness to the story that allows us to immerse ourselves in the plot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I actually took 2 days to listen to the entire story, my family was selfish and wanted to eat lol

Any additional comments?

This is actually a series but all of the books can be read as a stand- alone.

very good addition

I have been following this series since I discovered it. This book is much better than the previous one and has reignited by love of this series. Very good read.

So different!!!!

I Loved it! it was so different than most because it had so many old ideals and the old way of thinking. I was dying when the women had to be so submissive, I could never do that. it's crazy to see how far the world has come. I LOVED the character development! You really felt for them. I fell for Arthur and Rachel wolf lol they have fun personalities.
