Ian’s alpha tosses him out of his car at a training camp for worthless and weak wolf shifters run by a crazy vampire.

His only choice is to escape and go lone wolf.

Until he runs into Clare…

She actually volunteered for this gig.

Her wolf is all alpha but it’s crammed into a petite package, and she definitely has no mercy when it comes to him.

The work is hard.

The training dangerous.

Surviving is optional.

Clare can’t stand Ian’s disregard for her authority and he hates her driven ambition.

Sparks fly and teeth are bared. Opposites attract they say.

If they don’t kill each other first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good story

They were in a wolf shifter's camp run by a vampire. The vampire promised results. Clare didn’t want the fate that waited for her in her pack. Being the smaller shifter she almost forced her alpha father to send her to the camp. She had inherited her father’s traits and had been taking charge of the others shifters. Ian was tied, gagged and taken to the boot camp by his alpha. His alpha thought that some discipline, meaning a lot of force) will help Ian find the right road. Life in the camp was really hard and soon the lives of all the residents were in danger. Really interesting and entertaining this story. Liked the challenges and I’m was intrigued with the vampire drill sergeant. Some narrations made me laugh a lot, others made me sad because there was much emotion in them. Hope the author gives us more of these misfits.

Annie Nicholas' novella "Bootcamp of Misfit Wolves: Shifter Romance (Vanguard Elite Book 1)" was a fun read. This was book one of a series that now has five completed stories and with Nicholas' warm, inviting, lighthearted tone, it is no small wonder her fans asked for more and she delivered more to them. Book one introduced several characters that likely appeared throughout the series; each character was left plenty of room to grow and flesh out as the larger story unfolded, while still being presented strongly enough to visualize and empathize with most. There wasn't a traditional happily-ever-after ending in this first story, as the tale was not entirely finished. Nicholas didn't end with a cliff hanger, per se, but rather as she answered some questions, she allowed others to pop up and grow enough to tickle a readers curiosity - inviting them to follow along with these misfits.

There were some spelling, grammar and punctuation errors scattered throughout, but none glaring enough to toss this reader from the world. The world itself is nicely crafted with settings that are fairly easy to visualize and almost feel as if one is there peeking over the shoulder - like a flea? - of whichever wolf shifter is in the forefront. Dialogue between the characters flows and is believable and authentic to each character speaking.

The premise of this novella and the series (I assume) is quite interesting. Take members from packs that are less than desirable from the pack's viewpoint, turn them over to the training skills of an ancient Nosferatu vampire, and voila - the makings of an elite group of warriors - if they survive the training, that is... now known as the Vanguard Elite. This reader loved the humor and the warmth found in Nicholas' writing voice. Therefore, I have absolutely no qualms recommending the writer and this tale.

What a delightful boot camp.
Not everyone has arrived for the same reason.
Some packs sent their losers, some sent their trouble makers while one little female sent herself and she’s determined to kick ass regardless of her small size.

Running the bootcamp is Pallus the vampire. His job is to teach this unlikely group to become a real pack. What a task! He also has strict rules against matings while at Bootcamp. Oh, and he doesn’t expect everyone to survive.

Clare, the tiny female alpha may be small, but look out. She’s very bossy and a powerhouse.
Ian is here because his alpha decided to contribute his most annoying pack member to the camp. Ian was waylaid, duct-taped, stuffed in trunk and delivered to Pallus. Clearly, this wolf has an attitude, but Pallus lets him in his bootcamp, so naturally Ian leaves the first chance he gets.

Making a pack out of this group is harder than you imagine. Add the local small town jerks with guns who thinks anything that moves should be shot or burned in their sleep and their survival is in doubt.
Somehow during all this, Ian and Paula manage to stop fighting each other and have a ‘totally against the rules’ romance.
It’s fun from beginning to end with fabulous personalities and adventures.
Warning: You’ll be left wanting to read the next of the series

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice start but needs some work
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2016

This kind of reminded me of The Land of Misfit Toys. They were all broken, damaged or insecure about themself weres, that were either rejected or misguided and just wanted to feel as if there were part of the pack.

The story concept itself was good. The editing and layout needed work. This needed a really good beta read. This was a written as a multi pov, and in many spots, the pov changed without warning in the middle of an action. It would cause the story to grind to a halt to figure out who was doing what and saying what. This happened on more than one occasion. I love multi pov, but if you are going to write it, you have to make sure that it is separated in a way that it is easy to distinguish who is doing the action.

The characters were nicely written for the most part. The dialogue flowed well, the descriptions to details were done nicely. Not a lot of romance really in this book, and I guess you can call it a HEA. Ian and Clare do end up as a mated couple, but we never got to see the "Mating" Yea, they had sex, which was very very tame but that was about it.

Would I recommend this book? Yea, if you are looking for a soft read and are willing to overlook a few things.

Would I read more from this author? Yes, I enjoyed the story enough to want to see what happens with this band of misfits.

I chose to read and review this book. I enjoyed reading this one a lot. It is filled with emotions that make you feel alive and connect with it. I love shifters who fight for their rights survival and mates. This one is filled with action suspense sparks and hot romance that flies everywhere. I recommend it.

Claire è una femmina alpha, non creduta tale da suo padre. Decide di andare al bootcamp del vampiro Pallas, il quale ha deciso di riunire i lupimannari per insegnar loro l'arte del combattimento. Tra loro vi sono i membri non voluti dei vari clan. Tra questi c'è Ian, mandato là, perché non rispetta le regole. Claire ed Ian non vanno d'accordo, ma l'attrazione tra loro è molto forte. Scritto tramite i punti di vista dei due protagonisti. Buona trama e dialoghi accattivanti.

The name of the book sounds interesting, and the premise is.
It is an interesting, short read.
This is the story of the Alpha couple. Thus, perhaps I expected it to be a more involved/evolved story.
As an introduction tho' it was nice. The next in the series is about the characters we meet in book 1.

I would probably pick up the rest of the series too, as I'd like to read the stories of the others from book 1 :)
