I was gifted these stories individually from V. Vaughn, in exchange for my honest review.

Introducing "The Quinns" the 4, 8 & 9th installments from V. Vaughn in her "Winter Valley Wolves" series & the "Mating Season" collection. Once I started reading this series, I quickly fell in love with the storyline & characters, devouring each installment so quickly, leaving me WANTING more as soon as possible. Please read the "Winter Valley Wolves" series in chronological order as follows: Brindle, Bosun, Berch, Chosen, Ergan, Ekton, Esher, Fated & Destined. I've added my reviews for each book in this boxset below....

Chosen, bk 4...
I was quickly drawn into the story, and almost as quickly I'd finished.. enter "sad face"... I really wish these books were longer.
       Trixie has been experiencing an odd fever that arrives every spring, ever since she was bitten by a wolf a few years ago. Then her mum suggest something that Trixie would never have thought possible.... Parker has struggled to reintergrate into the pack, since coming home from playing football, trying to find his mate, but never finding her until....
       I can say that since coming back home, Parker has been trying to improve himself, we first meet him in 'Berch' book 3 & I can say he had ALOT to make up for. I enjoyed how close a relationship Trixie had with her mother & also how more involved the alpha was in this book, compared to the others.

Fated, bk 8...
I've been waiting for this story since the epiogue of 'Chosen' (book 4 in this series). As soon as it landed in my Kindle app, which was just hours ago, I had to jump right into it. One chapter in & I was once again HOOKED!
       It's been a year since Caroline (Trixie's mum) was at the mating BBQ, where she let her hair down & had fun flirting with Alpha Paul, but she hasn't heard from him since. So it becomes odd seeing him almost everywhere she goes, then her sister comes to town with the plan to catch them both a man..... Alpha Paul has finally decided it's time to find a new mate & only ONE women is in his sights....
      I was really extatic when I started reading 'Fated' & found out I was reading about Alpha Paul & Caroline (Trixie's mum), when reading 'Chosen' I really thought they hit it off. I loved how Caroline is so unsure about dating Paul, if the love of a mate being forever or not.... it really made everything about Caroline & Trixie's relationship make more sense.

Destined, bk 9...
I've been waiting for this story since Warren first jumped out to save Kayla in 'Ergan' (book 5 in this series). Once again as soon as it landed in my Kindle app, in this case was just minutes agao, I had to jump right into it. One chapter in & I was once again HOOKED!
       Sophie is slowly getting used to her summer not being what she originally planed. Her plans where to get her sister & herself new men, but her sister already found herself a mate & is deliriously happy. Having moved into a house by Silver Lake & starting her wedding planning job there is just one thing missing. Warren is beta to the pack & waiting patiently for his mate to show herself, so it comes to a surprise that it's his new alpha females sister, but Warren doesn't trust humans too easily....
       I was really hoping Sophie would find happiness, especially after reading about her past, then to have grouchy, silent, Warren, who takes a little while to warm up to humans around him as the man in question.... WOW. I loved how Sophie & Warren interracted with one another & especially the change that occurs because of the mating pull.
