Synopsis (Goodreads):
This bundle includes several short stories set in the Black Dog Universe, including the all new story, Thrown to the Wolves.

Thrown to the Wolves

Zed lost his mate, and it broke his wolf's heart. Now he's got a second chance at a happily-ever-after if he's brave enough to take what he wants.

The Bakers Grimm

When two struggling business owners compete for the contract of a lifetime, it’s all bakers on deck. Mix in a dollop of rivalry, a tablespoon of romance, and a pinch of magic, and you’ve got the recipe for one heck of a bake-off. May the best decorator win!

Out for Blood

White sand beaches, fresh tropical drinks…and three exsanguinated bodies. So much for Marshal Ayer’s transfer to the island of St. Kitts being a vacation.

Dog Days of Summer

When a fae boy goes missing, all evidence points to a warg being responsible for the crime. Thierry is called to lead the hunt for the rogue, but the closer she gets to locating the boy, the further she gets from the truth.

A Stone's Throw Christmas

Cam has a present for Cord, but once he unwraps her gift, their lives will never be the same.
Thoughts on Thrown to the Wolves and Other Stories: I'd read all but Thrown to the Wolves and Out for Blood previously, so not only was it a thrill to have two new-to-me stories, it's also outstanding to have everything bundled in one place. What? I'm a simple individual. Being able to quickly find a specific story when I want to read it makes my day.

I feel it's only fair to say that I'm DEEPLY enamored of the Black Dog/Gemini world. Everything about these shorts make me happy from top to bottom. So prepare for me to go all fangirl and squeaky while writing this.

Thrown to the Wolves - Zed. ZED. Seeing him find his happy place made me ridiculously happy. RIDICULOUSLY. For all he's a wolf, his physical fragility as he fought through the loss of his mate was heartbreaking. His wolf's interest in Joann is definitely a good thing, but his human side isn't quite ready to jump in with both feet. Or all four.

We learn a little more about Zed and a lot more about Joann and things take a wild turn that works out for all of them.

Out for Blood - Marshal Ayer is still dealing with the fall-out with her run-in at the hands of a manipulative fae (waaaaay back when) and having a hero-worshiping young marshal helping her with her most recent case isn't necessarily doing her any favors. Except Marshal Jones isn't just struck with a case of hero-worship, he's also interested in the woman underneath the story.

They were honestly adorable. Jones teased Ayer out of her shell in a relentlessly gentle way and I LIKE THEM TOGETHER.

Then again, I like EVERYTHING I read in this world, so I'm totally biased. In the best way.
