Raised by Wolves Complete Box Set

By: Casey Morales

Narrated by: Jon Curtis

Did you know one date can literally change everything?

OMG! You're going to laugh at me.

I went to a movie with my roommate's friend.

I didn't know he was gay. I certainly didn't know I was. I didn't even know it was a date.

I’m not talking about the fairy tale kind of date where bunnies fly out your butt and butterflies break into dancing and song.

I’m talking about a date where you don’t even know you’re on a date until the guy kisses you.

I nearly passed out.

I mean, not until after we got naked and . . .Over the next few years, my whole world changed. I went from never-do-anything-wrong preacher’s kid to a wild child sowing his oats. Man, I loved oats . . . or men . . . if men were oats.

This series is my story. You might find it hard to believe, but it’s all true. It’s also hilarious and heartwarming and sad (but only in spots) and uplifting . . . Did I mention funny? It’s really funny.

Check it out. The complete series is more than 1,200 pages. You’re going to laugh your hiney off!

Raised by Wolves is Michael's story, a classic, 5-book series that follows his life over decades of searching, finding, and losing love. It mirrors Michael's journey, beginning with simplicity, a single date, and grows in depth and complexity as his life evolves and changes. And yes, there is plenty of naked goodness.

Michael's tale is one of found family, hurt/comfort, new experiences, intimate moments, remarkable innocence and growth, self-deprecating humor, and most of all, boundless love.

This series will move you to tears, both in laughter and sorrow, while warming your heart in ways few stories ever will.

NOTE: Raised by Wolves is not a shifter series. There are no shapeshifters, and no one was raised by actual wolves. Rather, this is an American idiom referring to people who were raised in an extremely conservative, religious household. No wolf was harmed in the making of this series.

This is the author's true story.

Not a shifter romance

This series is the telling of the author’s life story. I like how he explains how things worked in the past. Like dial up! Whereas I knew what he was talking about there are some that don’t. It brought humor into the story. In this story the author starts with his first date and first look into liking someone of the same gender. In the next books we get deeper into how he comes out and accepts his role. There are struggles especially being raised by a part time preacher. We also see heartache and a HEA.

Honest

Enjoyed the honesty! Was waiting for the happy ending and it was worth it. Although there are struggles it is always possible to find the one.

loved this journey

Michael's journey (or adventures) to finding himself, his truth, the life he wants to live, what he will leave in the past and the love of his life made for a very interesting, funny, sad and ultimately uplifting story.

It was definitely different from other series I've read, following one person from a young age to maturity but I absolutely loved it.

Jon Curtis is one of my favourite narrators and was the perfect choice for this series.

self awareness

this is truly a great story. glad to know mostly true it sounded like my life. lolol. would be good for young people straight 8r gay to read. dating is rough for all of us. I've been happily married for 23yrs. thank you for your story. the connections was a great place...

Life's Heartbreaks

I cried when things didn't work out with Carter. I was crushed and cried my heart out when Ryan broke up with you. Thank God for the Epilogue! I can't tell how happy & actually relieved I was to listen you story with Heath!!! OMG! Seems like an HEA to me. Thank You for writing this book & being truthful.

Educational autobiography!!

An educational autobiography that everyone can learn from! A series mixed with equal parts humor and heartache, the realistic journey to finding happiness at the least expected time, took me through so many emotions. The way Casey wrote this piece shows just how positive of a man he truly is, always taking his failed attempts as a lesson and finding the humor in every situation. I am genuinely happy that you were able to find your forever person in “Heath”, and wish you both nothing but happiness for all the years to come!

Like hanging with a friend.

The realness in this series is wonderful. I was lucky enough to get it when i really needed it. Yeah, it's one of those! I highly recommend.

I will never forget this book

If you are remotely on the fence, wondering if this is worth a credit, this is the easiest decision you will ever make on Audible. I finished the audio book, and immediately bought the box set, because I want my teenage son to read this series, and teenagers have to read the physical books, it's a rule, so sayeth this mom.

To say I loved this series would be a gross understatement. I spent the last 3 and a half hours with tears leaking out of my eyes, some devastated and some from hysterical laughter, and others somewhere in between. I gave up, took my contacts out, and surrendered to the emotions. Thank you, Casey Morales. It's not often I come across a book that I immediately need my teenager to also read, in fact it has never happened, and we are both big readers. I have also never felt the need to speak directly to an author in a review, so you are popping all of the literary cherries today. Thank you.

Disclaimer, for the skeptical: For what it is worth, I haven't been paid, given a promotional copy, or otherwise been seduced by something free, and I am not even a little bit of an "influencer", and I have never been fortunate enough to meet the author. I accidentally stumbled upon this series on Libby, from the Los Angeles Public Library, two weeks ago. I checked out books 1 and 2, and 1/4 of the way through My Accidental First Date, I returned the books to the library (they don't have numbers 3, 4, and 5, yet.), and turned to Audible. I was sucked in by the references to my life, the author and I are a similar age, and he is Tennessee while I am Oklahoma. It's basically the same thing, this many years out of the Bible belt. I laughed so hard, I cried, and then I really got invested in this amazing retelling. It's 12-ish hours since I wrote everything above "Disclaimer", and my eyeballs are still leaking really happy tears.

Wonderful story.

I really am glad to have listened to this book, I learned so much. Tears and laughter were wonderful and I am glad that times have changed over the years and everyone is now able to live a full happy life. Thank you.

Most relatable experiences ever

As a CIS bi woman, my review title might make you raise your eyebrows! That's how you know this telling is absolutely magical. We hear all the time that books can be windows or mirrors. Windows are where you can see through another's perspective, but these characters are so danged relatable that I could see my own reflection in so many of these characters *spoiler alert* I saw myself in Duane, the 40+ year old man who was 25 at heart but also a mentor and the dad of his group. I saw myself in Carter through the messy divorce that broke him in unexpected ways. I saw myself in Katie who cares for strangers and finds connections wherever she can. I saw myself in Connie who values her friends (enough to make fun of them) and cares for her employees. I saw myself in Michael who finds love in every relationship and can still see the positives even after heartbreak... I hope to find my Heath eventually, but for now, I'm listening to the devil on my shoulder.
