Wolfe has a century under his belt as an Alpha werewolf for a small outcast pack. He loves taking care of those who have been rejected by their birth packs or lost them in accidents or wars. But Wolfe is lonely, as he hasn’t yet found his mate to share his burdens of leadership or his passions in bed.
One night he catches an alluring scent and gives chase to a cute but surprisingly reluctant guy named Peter. Though smart, funny and headstrong, Peter is a rabbit shifter. And wolves and bunnies don’t mix, do they?
Their first encounter certainly suggests so. They seem to have nothing in common. Wolfe is a bounty hunter living on a knife-edge of danger while Peter shelters discarded and wounded animals, believing in peace and mercy. For these two vastly different men learning to trust one another for a working relationship is a lesson in love.

5 Stars - Lisa's Review
Susan Laine is another author that I have found to be a hit. I chose this book because the title intrigued me. Most times wolves eat bunnies and not in a good way. So when I saw this book I knew I had to get my hands on it. It was a fascinating tale about mates and how they don’t always just jump into a relationship, but proves that it takes a lot of work to make it.
Wolfe is the pack Alpha and has been doing a pretty good job at it. His pack is one that is unusual. Most packs are born into it. However, Wolfe’s pack is from all over. His father had been a pack Alpha and when the beta wanted to be Alpha he told Wolfe’s secret. After being forced to leave his pack, he had made the choice to start a pack of his own. So out one night, he smells the best scent. A scent that calls not only to him but also to his wolf. He has found his mate, and surprise his mate is a bunny shifter.
Peter is a bunny shifter and is afraid of his mate. Wolves eat bunnies, and in this case, he is right and wrong. He is about to get eaten but in a very good way. It takes some time to trust his mate and fall in love, but he wants to take his time. He wants to get to know his mate. However, his mate just wants to get to it. He has to stand up to him but his will power is not as strong as he wants, because he wants his mate also. And when they get together, it is like hot sex on a stick.
I had a blast reading this and hope that this is just a start to many more stories like this one. I loved it and look forward to reading more by Susan. The characters are well written and grab your attention from the start. You will fall in love with them and laugh at their antics. It gives you a strong Alpha wolf, a feisty bunny mate, excitement, a bit of temperaments and some hot sex.
It had caught my attention from the moment I started reading it and kept it all the way to the end. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story, although I wished for a bit of danger to be added, I was quite surprised by it.
I would recommend reading this amazing story and checking out the rest by Susan.
4 Stars - Chocolate Minx Review
Wolfe and His Bunny is a delightfully amusing story of natural enemies learning to love as well as build a future together. Peter’s first instinct was to run when he first met Wolfe, but on closer inspection Peter discovers that they have a lot in common. For example, both men are caregivers. Peter works at an animal shelter taking care of all sorts of abandoned animals. Wolfe is the alpha to a pack of men and women who were made into werewolves rather than born wolf shifters.
Susan Laine has created an impressively appealing, sizzling romantic saga that I enjoyed immensely.
4 Stars - Serena Yates Review
One of my favorite tropes in shifter lore is a prey shifter bonding with a predator shifter. This can go one of two ways. Either it is a “serious” look at what happens when two natural enemies (at least in shifter form) have to work out how to live together and use their human side to deal with the issues. Or, and I think that is the case with ‘Wolfe and His Bunny’, it is a humorous look at some of the preconceived notions we have about prey and predator and what happens when the two meet and try to have a relationship. But there is more than humor to this story. While never taking things too seriously, the author has still managed to develop a setting that has some of the shifter trope elements – just enough to take a lighthearted look at bunnies bonding with wolves. And she succeeded – I am still smiling.
Wolfe is, in many ways, the stereotypical alpha. He is possessive, protective, physically strong, set in his ways, my-way-or-the-highway kind of stubborn. Empathy and flexibility are not words in his vocabulary. He was born in the late 18th century and seems not to have learned much since then. Or has he? When I looked at him more carefully, there were signs that he was not all about fulfilling the stereotype. Different from the all-powerful alpha, he knows what it is like to be rejected and alone, having lost his parents when he was a kid and growing up in an orphanage. As a result, he has formed his own pack, and all its members are outcasts in some way or another. So I had hope for him.
Peter may be a bunny shifter and his name alone - references to Beatrix Potter’s “Peter the rabbit” included – made me laugh. But. Despite the physical fear he feels when he meets Wolfe, he is not a pushover. He stands up for what he believes in, refuses the mating bite until they know each other better, and leads Wolfe on a learning curve about what partnership means. Yet Peter is not without flaws. He needs to work on his tendency to run and to give up. His empathy with where Wolfe comes from needs work, and his ability to compromise is not exactly stellar. I loved his playful side and some of the other “bunny characteristics” that came through once the physical relationship kicked off.
If you like shifter stories that contain more than a little humor, if a story about prey and predator figuring out how to live together sounds like fun, and if you’re looking for a read that is funny, cute, and very hot, then you will probably like this novella. I am certainly glad there are more books in this entertaining series!
