4.3 out of 5 stars 836 ratings

The Blackwood Pack saga begins…Follow the journey of the Blackwood Pack, seven brothers who are wolf shifters in search of their fated mates – stories about love at first sight with twists and turns, angst and humor, romance and adventure. Each book has two men who meet, fall in love, mate and achieve an HEA but the stories also chronicle the continuing saga of the Blackwood Pack.For more than 100 years, Steel, one of the last Dire Wolves, has been looking for his mate the Fates promised him. Discouraged after meeting his latest date, he takes a short cut home, seeing in a naked hitchhiker everything he envisions the man of his dreams to be. His wolf and body tell him the man is his fated mate but why can't he pick up his scent?Robbed of his car, clothes and money, Jackson, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, is left with no choice but to thumb a lift, frantic to get home to his six brothers. He's been protecting them from a rival pack who massacred most of his family and wants to finish off the rest. When Steel rolls down his window, Jackson knows he's found his fated mate but it would be too dangerous to claim him with his pack under attack.After the intervention of an Oracle and a Witch, Jackson finds the Fates gave him an unusual gift that made him unique-- and just for Steel. Navigating the mine field this revelation brings, Jackson and Steel must figure out how to make their relationship work while dealing with external forces determined to kill them and the rest of the Blackwood pack.M/M, Paranormal, Fated Mates, Multiple POV, MPREG, HEA

A few years ago, I wrote my first book, Dire Warning. Readers loved it and I was on my way to chronicle the Blackwood Pack, seven brothers who are gay wolf shifters in search of their fated mates—stories about love at first sight with twists and turns, angst and humor, romance and adventure and, of course, happy endings. Since then, the pack has expanded, allowing more stories to be told and different paranormals to be included. The series has become, as one reader described it…an “Epic Saga.”

Now, eleven books later, Blood Prophecy, has just been published. I love the M/M paranormal genre because it gives my imagination a lot of territory in which to roam. My mind can really run wild and come up with some amazing stuff when it doesn’t have to stay inside the box. My story ideas come to me as if they were being channeled by my characters, all of whom I love (except for a few villains). They are eager to recount their lives, loves and adventures, and are not reluctant to let it all out when it comes to revealing steamy details. My writing style is free-wheeling and uninhibited and my readers tell me they love it that way; that it makes them feel like they’re right in on the action and a member of the Blackwood Pack.

I live in the Northeast and love the beautiful change of seasons, my husband, and our quirky calico cat, though not necessarily in that order. I read a lot (good for the mind) and love gardening (good for the soul). I’m always happy to hear from my readers and can be reached through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MeWe, email, or my website www.maryrundle.com

    Blackwood Pack book 1 is an incredible place to start learning about the 7 brothers. Thus follows Jackson and Steel's love affair. Jackson as the Alpha since he lost his pack has been looking after his brother and protecting them from danger. Along comes Steel from a bad date and meets the man of his dreams....naked.

    I couldn't put this book down and loving getting to know the brothers and watching Jackson and Steel love each other. Can't wait to read book 2.

    Highly recommended

    Intrique, greed, love and a pregnancy with a difference make this first book, Dire Warning, from Mary Rundle a most enjoyable read. If you want to try a New Author I can highly reccomend this book.

    I loved the start of the series! J am totally a sucker for fated mates! It is mpreg but not omegaverse. I loved the new take on the mpreg and all the character. It is sweet smexy and has me hooked on the story line that involves everyone

    I’m about 50% through the book and have to admit even though the story line is very good, I still sometimes feel like I should just mark the book as read and read some other book. Intimate scenes seem to take up a huge part of the book and I really dislike the use of debasing words such as “c#$k sucking lips” every time Steel stares at Jackson’s lips...his mate. I can’t see how that is very respectful.

    So unfortunately this book is not a recommend...unless you like such often-used lewd references to life partners.

    This book was just...weird. it was super wordy and sometimes used the *wrong* words. I also found it weird that POV jumped between characters from paragraph to paragraph with no indication. Honestly, I could deal with it if it was *just* the two heroes but it was more than half the cast of the story--even secondary characters that were there for like 5 minutes. I just couldn't do it.

    I am coming back to leave a review after just finishing book 12 to say if you are unsure please read this series which has been excellent from start to finish. A well written storyline that i couldn't put down and I avidly looked forward to each following book. Though the paranormals were familiar species the concept of this story is so fresh and unique. An absolute must read series for MM pnr fans

    I am re-reading this series so I can now add my review. The story starts with Jackson waking up after being knocked out and robbed. He hoped someone would come by as he had no phone or money on him. Steele was driving back home and took a shortcut. He saw someone standing on the side of the road. His wolf was very excited to meet him and was wondering what was going on as he couldn’t scent him. Jackson realized right away they were mates but didn’t say anything with what was going on. This started the story of how Steel found out what Jackson and his brothers backstory was. This is the first book and they all must be read in order. I love the world building and looking forward to reading book 2.

    I'm kind of new to this form of fantasy, but it is quite good. A timber wolf and a dire wolf become mates , both gay males and one becomes pregnant! Unusual scenario, most of the shifter tales I've read just have the participants become close partners. The technical aspects fascinate me, how one can get pregnant following anal intercourse and where can the babe grow from the egg. But then again it is a fantasy.

    The sex-scenes are good, the ideas are there but the writing... ugh. It's rushed, it lacks worldbuilding, the characters are cliche. Would be interested in reading an edited version once the author has grown a bit though.
