Synopsis (Goodreads):
There’s nothing more dangerous than a mama bear…

Only days ago, Stacy Moraine and her three young boys’ arrival at Timberwolf Lodge involved a near disaster in a flooded river. This week’s agenda? Learn the ins and outs of the huge kitchen Stacy needs to run at the Lodge, deal with mouthy teenage pack members with control issues, and not drool over the deliciously dangerous Delaney Vezina, the local pack Enforcer, whose goal in life seems to be to strip naked and show off his perfect… everything anytime Stacy is near.

Switching from Alpha to Enforcer for the Jasper pack was the right thing to do, and Del’s had a lifetime of experience in doing what’s right, even if it’s currently killing him. Like not pushing Stacy too fast, even though he knows they’re fated mates. Having her boys in the picture only makes him want to accelerate the timing even more. He wants her, and them, to be his. But first, he needs to eliminate the dangers from her past that threaten their future.

Because something’s not right in the pack. There’s going to be a showdown between one very protective mama and anyone who thinks they can pull a fast one on her. Del’s more than willing to hold her cape as long as they’re standing together in the end.
Thoughts on The Enforcer's Gamble: We're back at the Timberwolf Lodge with the 2nd of the human women (and her rambunctious, adorable children) and the enforcer of the local pack. Our introduction to Del (in book 1) was a little rough, but he's settled into his new role as enforcer and it's a perfect fit for him.

As it turns out, Stacy is a perfect fit for him, too. She's fierce when she needs to be (especially when it comes to protecting those who need her the most), but she's also wise enough to know when fierceness isn't needed. She's finding her groove in the kitchen at the lodge and she's thrilled that her son is being taught how to interact with his wolfish side. She's also thrilled that Del is as smitten with her non-wolfy children as he is with her wolfy one.

To be fair, Del likes the whole package when it comes to Stacy. Her boys, her sass, her willingness to see where things could go between them, and everything else in between. While his new enforcer duties keep him away from her more than he'd want, he's also determined to make sure his (hopefully) soon-to-be family is safe from anyone or anything that could threaten them.

Strong pack bonds, boys with plenty of energy, kitchen dynamics, the mom-voice, a man who is more than happy to be the pack protector, and a lady who matches him in every way. *thumbs up*
