Valerie C. (vwcameron) reviewed on
I really liked this book. If you like Julie Garwood's historicals (The Wedding, The Bride, The Secret) than you will probably like this book as it has similar undertones. I'm not saying it's as good as those books, mind you, but similar...and being that those are probably at the top of my favorites-of-all-time list, it was nice to read something similar. Now obviously, there is the whole werewolf dimension to these books, which I also liked (but I like paranormal romance a lot).
The only annoying thing about this book was the female lead. She got on my nerves sometimes, but not too badly or I wouldn't have given it 4 stars. If you are like me and you like historicals in the same vein as Garwood AND you like paranormal (I love Feehan and J.R. Ward) than you will probably like this book. The paranormal culture and characters are not NEARLY as developed in this book as they are in the Carpathian/Black Dagger Brotherhood books, but it was good enough for me to keep this book (and the rest of the series) on my keeper list.
Long story short: if you like historicals, books with a paranormal twist, and more alpha male leads, you will probably like this book. And as a bonus, I thought book 2 was even better.
