Coveted and Kept ( Coveted series) by Shawntelle Madison

Coveted summary:

SOMETIMES WHAT YOU COVET IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP.

For werewolf Natalya Stravinsky, the supernatural is nothing extraordinary. What does seem strange is that she’s stuck in her hometown of South Toms River, New Jersey, the outcast of her pack, selling antiques to finicky magical creatures. Restless and recovering from her split with gorgeous ex-boyfriend, Thorn, Nat finds comfort in an unusual place: her obsessively collected stash of holiday trinkets. But complications pile up faster than her ornaments when Thorn returns home—and the two discover that the spark between them remains intense.

Before Nat can sort out their relationship, she must face a more immediate and dangerous problem. Her pack is under attack from the savage Long Island werewolves—and Nat is their first target in a turf war. Toss in a handsome wizard vying for her affection, a therapy group for the anxious and enchanted, and the South Toms River pack leader ready to throw her to the wolves, and it’s enough to give anybody a panic attack. With the stakes as high as the full moon, Nat must summon all of her strength to save her pack and, ultimately, herself.

Kept Summary:

Fresh from defending her pack in battle, Natalya Stravinsky, a whip-smart werewolf with a lovable neurotic streak, wants a little rest and relaxation. Once an outcast, she’s now eager to rejoin the ranks of her New Jersey pack, and has even gotten a handle on her obsessive urge to hoard holiday ornaments. Yet Nat barely has time to revel in her progress before the next crisis comes howling at her door.

Nat’s father has suddenly gone missing, captured by the Russian werewolf mafia. And as Nat steps up to save her dad from a mob boss’s deadly game, two men step in to play another round for her heart: her gorgeous alpha ex-boyfriend, Thorn, and her new flame, the sweetly sensitive wizard Nick. With her life growing more harried by the minute, Nat must stay cool, calm, and collected . . . or else risk losing everything.

My Review:

This is a charming series with a likable main character and a hot love interest. I liked the story and Natalyas obsesivness with holiday ornaments, it made for a unique twist. I also like the dinamics of the books, how Natalya struggles with her family and the pack she is no longer a part of and with the therapy for her neurotics. Werewolves are really awesome in this series, nothing fancy, just a good old- fashioned changing during the full moon. Even though I liked Thorn, his treatment of Natalya wasn´t nice but then you see he really loves her and all he went through for her and you cant help but love him. I alos liked Nick, who also has his neurotics but is a really lovable character. The one I really hated in this book is Erica, Thorn´s fiancee. I will just say she is something with a big B. I hope there will be other books in this series but if not, it already has a somewhat happy ending but I want to know #SPOILER# how Thorn´s " condition" plays out.
