Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 477 ratings

Ignorance isn’t always bliss…
Especially when the truth is this dangerous.


New Orleans homicide detective Bryce Samuels would rather save lives than investigate deaths. He earns a promotion allowing him to do just that, but he never thinks the people he’ll be tasked to save will be the ones closest to him.

Until the woman of his dreams shows up on his doorstep, beaten and bruised.

The mysteries surrounding her “accident” will leave him fighting not just for her life, but for his own.

A rogue can’t be expected to settle down, especially with a human cop, who doesn’t know werewolves exist. But that’s exactly what Alexis Gentry’s wolf insists she does from the moment she meets Bryce.

Alexis guards her heart as heavily as her secrets, but as the walls come down, she can’t help but fall for the sexy detective.

Letting him into her supernatural world will endanger his life.

But she soon discovers that what he doesn’t know
can hurt him.

If you like a strong female lead, you'll love this thrilling shifter romance.

    Bound By Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack #3)
    By Carrie Pulkinen
    Rated 5 stars!!

    What an amazing story! I was so pleased to see this was out! I loved the last two and this one is special in its own right. I couldn’t wait to read the story of these two after seeing (reading) them in the last couple books. I figured they would have a good story. Boy was I right! The weaving of the story was perfect. It kept my interest and moved along at a good pace. There were some wonderful moments in here as well as a few shockers and out loud laughing. For example:
    The cooking scene....hahahahah...it....hahaha...makes me laugh....hahaha...every time ....haha*snort*haha...I think about it!! That Bryce! He’s a keeper! Haha! Great scene!!!!

    These characters started so low and....well separate. They each have lived their own life just the way they want it for many years. Change was bound to happen. They each had so much room to grow. I wanted Alexis to stop being a rogue as much as Bryce did. But she is so stubborn and has been alone for so long....I feared it was all she knew. Bryce’s story was a shocker and it was told so well. Sorry No spoilers! I loved being inside their heads reading their wants and needs as well as their concerns. Usually I’m more of a dialogue person and the mesh of the two worked very well here. Each main character had so many secrets that to understand them we needed that little insight.

    I am a huge werewolf fan so this series is right up my alley. I love seeing all the previous characters and getting to hang out with them. Seems like James is the only one left that is single.....ooh ooh makes me wonder if his man card is about to get punched???

    Bryce was Maceys partner on the police until he was promoted and went on the day shift.
    When Macey married Luke he met her sister Alexis. They were immediately attracted to each other but she had never been comfortable enough to let herself get into a relationship. She had been in foster care with Macey when she had her first shift to a werewolf and ran off because she was unprepared and hadn’t known what was going on.
    When they keep running into each other in strange circumstances they can’t deny their attraction to each other.
    When Alexis is in danger from a previous relationship he stepped up to help her even though he knew nothing about what he was getting into.

    By: Carrie Pulkinen
    5 out of 5 stars

    The story Bound by Blood (Crescent City Wolf Pack Book 3) by Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance book. It is the next amazing story in a series that I have loved since I read the first book. You are hooked into this story from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Bryce Samuels and Alexis Gentry. Bryce has been a homicide detective, however, he really wants to save people’s lives when they are in need. He earns a promotion to a job that does just that. Bryce also has never been able to get Alexis out of his mind. Conversations and invites to her have been extended. He wants to get to know her better. Then she shows up at his door after an attack by her ex. An invitation to say with him is given. His emotions towards her are strong. Will Bryce act on his feelings for Alexis? Alexis is a woman who is strong, independent, smart, and stubborn. She is also labeled a rogue and has a bad habit of running when she becomes afraid. Will Alexis allow Bryce into her heart? Bryce doesn’t know about the supernatural world that is all around him. What will happen if he learns the truth? Will Alexis and Bryce have a chance at happiness together? Will they get an HEA? Read this book to find out. This story has mystery, drama, suspense, and danger. A combination that kept me turning pages to find out what happens next. There are also some steamy scenes included with the book that will make the temperature in the room rise. This is a story that I loved reading and would gladly give it more than a 5 if I could. Wonderful storyline and amazing characters. Highly recommended.

    Bryce and Alexis were both such interesting and likeable people. I loved this story. It was one of those type of books for me that I couldn't put down. One of those "I'll read just one more chapter type books" when you should be doing other things 😁. The action was non-stop. The twists and turns just kept coming. Bryce was such a sweetheart.... So kind, so protective, and deeply caring of other people. Alexis was tough on the outside but fiercely protective of those she loved. The romance between them was passionate and heartwarming at the same time. You really felt as if they had both "found home" for the first time. I highly recommend this book because it has everything a reader could ask for. Suspense galore..... Scary moments.... A swoony, heartfelt romance.... Characters from the previous books... Friendship and loyalty... It's Just an all round entertaining book!!😇

    Bound By Blood is part 3 in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen.
    Bryce Samuels, Macey's former partner is ignorant to all things supernatural, he kinda believed in Macey's gift, but that's about it.
    He loves to save lives and that's the reason he moved away from homicide.
    Bryce met Alexis Gentry, Macey's sister, at her and Luke's wedding and he has tried since to get to know her better.
    Alexis has been a rogue since she discovered she's a werewolf, her life has never been an easy one.
    When she makes a dreadful discovery about a former boyfriend and is nearly killed, Bryce is there to help her. But Bryce is human and no challenge to a werewolf, she develops feelings for Bryce, but does not want to put his life in any danger and she makes a decision.
    Bryce , the cop that he is, cannot just let go of Alexis and investigates further. His life is about to be turned upside down as he becomes confronted with what has been hidden right in front of him.
    His new friends are there for him, but will it be enough to save Alexis?
    I absolutely loved Bryce and Alexis' story.
    They both hide a lot from the world, can they both overcome their insecurities and what about Bryce discovering that werewolves are real?
    Another great book by Carrie, highly recommended. Her writing is so gripping, it pulls you in immediately. The storyline is just brilliant!!!

    Bound by Blood is the third book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series by Carrie Pulkinen. It could be read as a standalone, but seriously, do yourself a real favour and read the other two books, because they are spectacular! You really won’t regret it!
    As I’ve said with each of the previous two books, I am completely in LOVE with this series, I have devoured each one in a matter of hours- glued to the pages from beginning till end- torn, in that I really had to know what happened, but at the same time not wanting the book(s) to end. I really couldn’t choose a favourite from the three (so far) because they are all brilliant in their own right- each one having its own identity and ‘flavour’, but also, because they all blend together to paint a much bigger (overall) picture, while complimenting the other books in the series at the same time.
    This (and the series) is a great paranormal romance- with shifters/werewolves, witches, the supernatural, mystery, suspense, danger, action, murder, drama, secrets, shocking discoveries, and emotion. As with the first two books- the story unfolds against the vibrant and mystical backdrop of New Orleans.
    Alexis Gentry is a rogue werewolf, a drifter, who has had such a hard life that her experiences have left her with trust issues and caused her to build a protective barrier around herself, one she won’t let anyone through- not even her little sister who she’s finally reunited with after 20 years. She is skittish, stubborn, and quite mysterious. She hasn’t had much luck when it’s come to relationships, as she always seems to pick men who’ve only brought her trouble and grief. So, she’s sworn off men and relationships. But, after meeting her sister’s work partner, she can’t stop thinking about him, and he brings out a sense of longing in her that has her questioning everything she thought she wanted. When her latest job goes sour, she quickly realises that she’s gotten in way over her head, and can’t seem to see a way out of her dangerous predicament- not without taking some drastic, desperate action- which results with her in hospital, needing to lay low for a while.
    Bryce Samuels has just gotten a promotion to Sergeant and put in the position as a negotiator- which is something he’s aspired to ever since joining the Force- saving lives is all he’s ever wanted to do. He’s really good at his job and has a natural instinct that gives him a bit of an edge over some of the other officers. He’s definitely not the settling down type, earning a reputation as an arrogant flirt who doesn’t do relationships. But in fact, there’s a lot more to him, which we discover as the story progresses. Bryce was captivated by Alexis from the moment he set eyes on her and would love to get to know her better. But he soon discovers that she quite the flighty one. When his latest case brings him to the hospital to check on the welfare of his neighbour, Bryce find Alexis has been admitted in a pretty battered state. Concern for her well-being has him offering her a safe place to stay until she gets back on her feet. Alexis is quite suspicious of his motives, no one does something for nothing- there is always a price to pay. Isn’t there? But things aren’t adding up, which raises Bryce’s suspicions and has him questioning everything, and puts his detective skills to the test.
    What happened to put Alexis in hospital? Will she take Bryce up on his offer? What happens when danger catches up with Alexis and places them both in peril? Can Alexis learn to trust? What happens when Bryce learns the truth? Alexis was so used to taking off when things get complicated, spending her whole life running- will she finally decide to stick around, put down some roots and take a chance on love? Bryce lives his life to the letter of the law, upholding the law with every fibre of his being- what will he do if a few laws need to be broken in order to protect the one/s he cares about?
    I must admit that I really didn’t know if I would really like Alexis as she seemed quite mysterious and somewhat aloof in the previous two books. But, the more I learned about her, and what she’d been through to make her who she is, made me really feel for her and understand her so much better. She did grow on me and by the end of the book I was definitely #teamAlexis. She did frustrate me at times, especially with her lack of communication, and the tendency to let her pride/ego rule. Bryce had already won me over in previous books- even though we knew very little about him, I liked him anyway. Getting to know him so completely in this book, just cemented my feelings.
    As with the previous book, I spent the majority of this one on the edge of my seat, wondering how things would play out! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!
    James’ story is next…. Can’t wait!
    Superb!

    Thank you, Ms. Pulkinen!

    Now we know Alexis is Maceys sister and Bryce was Maceys police partner before he earned a promotion.
    When Bryce & Alexis first met in book1 there was an instant spark!

    Alexis had been a runaway since she was 13years old leaving Macey behind in the foster homes. But she never forgot Macey and tried to find her several times.

    Bryce got a new job, worked hard for a promotion leaving Macey on nights while he started talking to school kids about anti bullying campaigns. He feels Macey has changed recently since getting in with Luke. . . . . . . . . . . .

    If only he knew the half of it!!

    All he knows is he feel this overwhelming need to live and protect Alexis. Alexis feels and know with all her heart Bryce is her fate bound/ soul mate.

    Now with lots of ups & downs fights to the death, book 3 was great. Who does look a good happily ever after story

    Roll on book4 for me, feel sorry for the husband when I down tools again lol

    This is the 3rd installment, where the main characters are Alexis and Bryce.
    You see Alexis's life and how she chose to live as a rogue once she realised she was a werewolf.
    Bryce who is human, we see his life was troubled too with bullying and suicide and how this had an effect on him personally.
    The author really bring to light normal life within this story with the effects of suicide bullying, abuse and illness and puts the characters on a learning journey of self worth and acceptance.
    As with all the couples in this series they all have their own story to tell but do cross over into the other books , so therefore you need to read these books in order.
