Graham Winters, alpha werewolf of his pack, has troubles with a cousin who wants to usurp his position - he plans to use the fact that Graham doesn't have a mate against him, as alphas must be a mated pair, and the pack is starting to get antsy about how long it's taking him to find one.

Missy Roper, kindergarten teacher, has always been a shy wallflower, and can only dream about Graham, who has never noticed her before, not even when she is paired with his as best man and maid of honor. But her friends persuade her to dress like a vamp to her best friend's post-wedding party, and suddenly she arouses his interest. More than that, wolf instincts kick in and he realizes he has found his mate. Only one problem - she is human, and the pack won't take kindly to that.

Typical setup for a typical romance, albeit with a paranormal twist. I have to be honest - I picked up this book to trade and only peeked into it because I wanted to see how good the sex was (it was pretty good). But the more I read the more I got sucked into the story. Yes, it did have a story, and I was astounded to realize I actually enjoyed it - it was fun! Oh, it still had parts that were only worth skimming, but for a couple of hours of mindless relaxation, this fit the bill exactly. I was intrigued by the characters and enjoyed the bantering dialogue along with the chapter-long sex scenes, and the story stopped right where it should, before the reader can get bored with it. Wonder of wonders, I even find myself wanting to know how the pup turns out. Looks like I've found another guilty pleasure.
