New Lone Wolf and Cub Volume 9
He kept hurting Mollie because he refused to confide in her, to share some of the burden. Mollie's flaw is jumping to conclusions and judging way too fast. I love the way Jacob proposed to her, it was so romantic. The only thing that really bothered me is Jacob's epiphany at the end of the book. It was just too neat view spoiler [everything gets resolved in a dream, he gets rid of his fears just like that hide spoiler ].
It was a nice series, with some good books, and some not so good. Rating of the entire series: Jul 30, Makii rated it it was amazing. Debo decir que fue la historia que mas ame, por varios motivos. Salvo a su hermana, y a su familia. En segundo Lugar, Jacob es hermoso. En tercer lugar, Molli es super linda, y hace tanto por Jacob. Y adore eso de ella. En cuarto lugar, el hecho de que al final, los protagonistas no se separaran cuando uno de ellos confesaba su amor por el otro fue lo mejor.
En cambio, Molli lucha por su amor y el de Jacob hasta el final A un hombre que lo ha sacrificado todo, incluso su propia felicidad, para proteger a su hermana. Jun 13, RLA rated it it was amazing. The book begins with the heroine Mollie arriving at Wolfe Manor, where she lives in the gardeners cottage, after a six month trip to Italy she took after he fathers death. When she gets to her cottage she discovers that the power has been switched off and is confronted by Jacob, the hero, who thinks she is an intruder.
Jacob has been away from his childhood home for 20 years after he left haunted by events that led to him killing his evil father. He has returned to restore Wolfe Manor before mov The book begins with the heroine Mollie arriving at Wolfe Manor, where she lives in the gardeners cottage, after a six month trip to Italy she took after he fathers death. He has returned to restore Wolfe Manor before moving on and also to make amends with his siblings he abandoned.
He offers Mollie the chance to landscape the Manor, which she accepts. Mollie harbours resentment towards Jacob and how he left his family alone to deal with everything, and Jacob is still haunted by his past and rarely lets anyone close. Their interactions are tense and awkward, but as they slowly get to know one another they fall in love and ease the loneliness inside each other. However Jacob knows it can't last and still plans to move on. As I have read all of the books in this series in order I already knew quite a bit about Jacob and his involvement in his siblings lives, and especially the events leading up to their fathers death.
I knew his story would have to be powerful and I'm pleased that this is exactly what we got. The guilt and pain that Jacob carries around everyday saturates every page of this book and is written beautifully. I really liked reading how Jacob realised his feelings for Mollie early on, but it was his pain that held him back, not your typical commitment-phobic issues. Mollie is a great female character, I was expecting a quiet and nurturing type character and this is not at all what Mollie is like. Instead she was ballsy and strong, and a little judgemental at times, this was a pleasant surprise and made her character feel very real.
Both of the characters are flawed and suffering, the relationship written for them developed beautifully and is believable. The story is very emotional and hard hitting, with thanks to some brilliant writing from Kate Hewitt. I cannot recommend the series enough, a definite must-read!

This was the last book in The Notorious Wolfes series with this story being told about Jacob Wolfe, the oldest Wolfe, who had a lot a demons to content with about his past mainly the one where he feared that he would become like his father, a violent, abuse, drunk man who like to inspire fear inside his children.
Jacob stopped his father from nearly beating his sister Annabelle to death during a drunken rage. Jacob hit him un Going to try to keep this very brief and just go by the notes I have. Jacob hit him until he stopped hitting Annabelle and due to his drunken state he stumbled and fell and hit his head, which killed him. So Jacob had a lot to deal with that emotionally as well as the guilt that he "killed" his father as well as the fact that he abandoned his siblings though he did so from a loving place, fearing he would hurt them and become abusive like his father.
He nearly hit Annabelle when he was drunk and from that day on he vowed to leave his siblings behind so he wouldn't hurt them. While Mollie was the gardener's daughter at Wolfe Manor, she was Annabelle friend and she had a crush on Jacob, and even though she had been friends with Annabelle. She still felt like an outsider looking on from her cottage at the Wolfe siblings as the played among the grounds.
She felt very invisible and isolated, leaving with her father on the estate and when Jacob left the manor so did his siblings until no one was left aside from her father and herself working on the grounds. I did really enjoy the love story between Jacob and Mollie. It was beautifully written and beautifully portrayed.
It built over time with both Jacob and Mollie, helping the other heal as they were dealing with emotional scars that they carried deep inside them. And the pain each of them was dealing with was heartbreaking and it made me feel both characters and what that had to endure and suffer all those years especially Jacob who truly seemed broken, but felt alive again with his attraction to Mollie coming to the surface as well as the woman herself.
And I liked how these two lonely people for different reasons came together and were there for one another when they needed one another. They helped each other. They became friends before they became lover and I really like seeing that as their relationship developed. I loved the character of Jacob, who was a living breathing person in my head and I could see him so clearly. I really felt for him and saw the broken person that he was. I just wanted to give him and hug or more accurately let Mollie hug him and comfort him in the warmth of her arms and protect him. He was just so broken, and it was hard read of all the emotions and what he was dealing with from his past and the issues that he hadn't resolved yet.
He had so much guilt in him that it hurt me and broke me so I could imagine what pain he was dealing with. And he deserved love and tenderness in his life and just a happy ending after all the pain went through, and Mollie was that person for him. The relationship was developed really well like I said above.
It was slow and grew over time. In the beginning, they had a little love hate thing going on, but it wasn't overwhelming but it was just enough to create the tension and begin the simmer. As they got to know each other more and more the more thy opened up to one another, and soon they wanted to be around each other all the time because that was the only time they truly felt alive and had some worth fighting for. I liked how they used little excuses to try to catch glimpses of each other and just being to be hang out with each other without giving into their attraction for one another that simmered beneath the surface and ready to become to a boil.
Jacob even hired Mollie to work for him redoing the grounds of Wolfe Manor before he could sell and he enjoyed her passion and what she doing with the grounds and he would seek her out just to get her company. It was really sweet and I liked seeing that played out. My complaint was not the love story itself, but the love scenes that were not as passionate as I would've like to have especially since there was this build up of tension throughout the book and like I said simmered beneath the surface until it exploded.
But it wasn't huge explosion, I just felt the love scene just happened and nothing more. The way it was written it wasn't drawn out it kind happened in a few paragraphs and nothing more. It more summarized than shown I thought and I wanted to be shown more. I wanted to see Jacob passion unleashed a bit after denying what he wanted mainly Mollie.
I just wanted a little more spicy heat and just more where it was making me sweat along with them, but I never really got that from the love scene. The hottest was near the end when they make love on the plane and that kind was just summarized also in a few sentences.
I just wanted to see more of that raw passion between them. But overall it was a good story more about love healing two lonely broken people and building on that relationship until the people involved both felt alive. I liked development of their relationship and how it built in a steady climb until finally pronouncing their love for one another. Love fixed them, which was great to see and see that they had a bright future together.
The passion could have been amped up for my taste because the love scene felt a little bland and felt more like a Harlequin Romance instead of a Harlequin Presents. I needed a little bit more spice especially from this series.

If it was a Romance than I wouldn't judge the passion so harshly. It was nice to see how this series wrapped up and despite the fact have yet to read all of them I tell that this book definitely brought closure to the whole series and showed all the Wolfe siblings got their happily ever after after all. It was nice to see them all come together at the end during the epilogue and show their happy faces. I liked that they happy ending despite what they endure at their father's hands especially Jacob.
It'll be interesting to go back and read the rest of the stories now that I finished this one. Wonder if will color my view at all or just add to the dimension since I know what happens at the end. But it was a nice story and I enjoyed it. Just needed a touch more of a hot love scene and it would have been pretty close to perfect. Sep 11, Jesica rated it really liked it. Sin embargo me sorprendio Y lo mejor es que tiene epilogo P No es tan largo como hubiera querido pero bueno no pienso quejarme Maybe I should have read the rest of the series before this story.
Penutup cerita keluarga Wolfe. Sepertinya ada yg kurang. Tapi not bad lah.. Sep 19, Negesse Lakay rated it liked it. Unfortunately this book did not live up to my expectations. The story was slow to build. It was basically about how Jacob felt he was evil because he killed his father. I'm not really sure what Molly's deal was. She was demanding to know what Jacob had done while he was away like she was entitled to an explanation.
Also a big part of Molly's story was how she was invisible while she was growing up at the manor, then for some reason Jacob remembers that she used to follow him around like a love s Unfortunately this book did not live up to my expectations. Also a big part of Molly's story was how she was invisible while she was growing up at the manor, then for some reason Jacob remembers that she used to follow him around like a love sick puppy.
I'm not sure which is true. I didn't feel any emotional connection between them at all. It seems the author threw a bunch of things together hoping that something would stick. I did not like this one. The hero and I use the term lightly was mostly interested in himself and his own pain then anyone else how could he leave everyone like that after everything that happened and he was the oldest. The heroine was a sweetie but I did not like their relationship it felt like she was trying to hard to be what he wanted and he did not give a shit what she did.
I don't like books where he resolution is incomplete and the relationship is uneven. Don't waste your time here I was I did not like this one. Don't waste your time here I was expecting more from this final chapter. Mar 07, L rated it it was ok. The storyline itself is great, but writing lacked passion, emotion, conviction, desire.
Lot of guilt though made story 'Meh' after so many repeats. When i read a story, the ultimate experience is to feel the emotions, anticipations, emerse yourself into situations characters are going trough. I kept reading it, expecting a surge of pow. Some kind of change. Dec 17, Ana rated it it was ok. Hewitt did an excellent job of portraying an emotionally damaged man and a sweet woman willing to help him overcome them and learn to live again.

Hingga Jacob bertemu Mollie, yg tidak takut pd sisi kelam dirinya, yg percaya bhw Jacob berbeda dgn ayahnya. Novel ini terlalu angst utk ukuran Harlequin. Tapi saya msh merasa seolah Mollie adalah penyugesti Jacob. Hanya dgn kata2 dari Mollie, Jacob serta merta takluk. Dan adegan lamaran ala Fifty Shades of Sbg anak sulung, Jacob Wolfe memendam rasa bersalah masa lalunya yg pahit. Dan adegan lamaran ala Fifty Shades of Grey bikin saya geli.
Novel ini lumayan saja sbg penutup dr seri Notorious Wolfes. Dec 17, Reader27 rated it it was amazing. This is just an amazing book. I liked the plot very much, it's unique. I loved the characters, Molly and Jacob. I totally agree that they are meant for each other. Feb 06, Karen Kirst rated it it was amazing. It's about Jacob Wolfe, a man who, in order to protect his siblings from himself, abandoned them when he was eighteen.
Now he's back to fix Wolfe manor in order to sell it. Only then can he move past the painful memories it holds, of his father's abuse and the night Jacob killed him in order to protect his sister. Jacob is my favorite type of hero He's convinced he has the potential to be abu Loved this book! He's convinced he has the potential to be abusive like his father, so he holds himself back from everyone else, refusing to allow anyone close. Enter the gardener's daughter, Mollie, who's lived on the estate all her life, ignored and seemingly forgotten.
He hires her to renovate the gardens. Against his will, he's drawn to her goodness, her gentle and caring spirit. Hewitt pens a tender, poignant story that I'll want to read again and again.
Lone Wolfe (Bad Blood, #8) by Kate Hewitt
Jan 17, Renata rated it liked it. I love contemporary romances that span a series and particularly like seeing the ways in which characters evolve across a number of books. This is understandably more challenging when the series is penned by a number of authors so I give the numerous authors credit for maintaining some semblance of continuity over eight novels.
The Lone Wolfe wraps up the "Notorious Wolfes" series and while it does the ending justice, it's a little drier than some of its predecessors. Maybe it's that Jacob is the I love contemporary romances that span a series and particularly like seeing the ways in which characters evolve across a number of books. Maybe it's that Jacob is the most emotionally wounded of the bunch though I'm not entirely convinced of this , but his stilted approach to his relationship with Mollie left me wanting in parts.
It definitely lacks the passion found elsewhere in the series, as well as the wry humour I had come to expect from most of the Wolfe clan. Feb 17, Tia rated it it was amazing. I've read a few of these books but never reviewed until now. Eventually I will review every book I've read from this author and many more..
