Hands down the most realistic werewolf paranormal story I've read and I've read many from Lora Leigh to Kresely Cole. This story is believable in terms of how painful it is to change, how one is naked after the change (clothes don't magically reappear when you revert back to human form), how it feels like to be a wolf in an urban setting, how it feels to have wolfish senses, and so on.
I loved the heroine and disliked her also. She's feisty, she's sexual, she's smart and funny. She isn't anyone's submissive. She is also mean, selfish, and wishy washy. She couldn't figure out if she belonged in the human world or the Pack. If cheating bothers you, then be warned. The heroine cheats on her sweet human boyfriend. The werewolf hero, Clay, is likable though when you find out what he did to the heroine 11 years earlier (no, not rape!), you may not see him in a positive light. He is sweet without being one of those chest-thumping "you're mine!" type he-men so prevalent in paranormal stories. The two main characters had good dialog and tension.
There's a good mix of humor, drama and romance. The plot is a whodunnit. I felt the author really gave the werewolves all the wonderful characteristics while the humans were bland and boring. The wherewolves are athletic, fit, strong, rippling muscles, all six-pack abs, they have loads of money, expensive cars, nice clothes, mansions, etc. The humans...well..not much of those things. The humans are just there for dinner or sex. And when the Pack needs money they get it because their leader, Jeremy, is just this genius who can do things to generate cash. It just all seemed very convenient. Jeremy, the Pack leader, is an intriguing and likable character. Hope to read more about him in the future.
Overall, I liked this book, but at times it felt like a Harlequin Romance novel. But it's a fresh take on paranormal stories. I'd read more from this author.
