The closer she gets to mating with Chase, the more Andrea continues to ache for him. He has sent so many gifts that Andrea can barely keep track of them all. There is only one gift the young woman truly wants. Andrea wants Chase to love her and refuses to accept anything less. Chase only cares for her because she is a breed and sees her as a child. By the time they are married, Andrea is determined to let Chase know she is a full grown woman who means business.

Years of waiting to claim Andrea as his mate has been hell on Chase. Staying away from Andrea was the only way Chase had been able to last without touching her. By complying with her family’s wishes, Chase was going against everything his wulf wanted most and alienating the one person he wanted to be the closest to. Andrea was more stubborn than Chase realized and as arousing as that made him, it also caused problems in their relationship.

Even though she’s young, Andrea definitely has a woman’s desire for her man, and she isn’t afraid to let it loose on Chase. She has more than enough fire to keep Chase on his toes. I’m glad her character wasn’t portrayed as a shy virgin being forced into a marriage against her will and that her deflowering wasn’t a typical one. Camille Anthony always knows how to shock readers the right way when it comes to her blistering sex scenes, and this one is no different. It was a bit difficult for me to accept the age difference between the couple, even though I know they shouldn’t be judged by human standards. Throughout the story, I didn’t feel enough vibes of love coming off Chase, only lust. However, by the end of the story he definitely surprised me with the depth of emotions for Andrea’s friends, and for Andrea. Wulves are such randy beings that sometimes I forget about their feelings. It was nice to get the reminder. There are some unexpected tear jerking moments that will touch readers and leave them hopeful. Werewulf Journals 5: Hunting Chase is a great installment in the series that will leave you yearning for what comes next with several characters. I will never grow tired of this passionate pack of Alphas and I pray that Camille Anthony never grows tired of gifting us with their escapades.
