Romance Paranormal

Bella is a red werewolf who has been running from the cruel alpha who wants to claim her as his mate. She enjoys the freedom that comes as a lone wolf, but she does wish for a mate. In her area, there have been several redheads murdered. The women have bite marks, and the police suspect a vicious dog. But Bella knows that a man created those marks, a man who turns into a wolf, and she intends to hunt him down. The killer's actions threaten the livelihood of the lupus garou, werewolf. However, the last thing Bella expected was to be caught in her red wolf form and taken into the custody of the local zoo. When she hears that a man named Volan has been asking about her, she knows she has to escape. She will not go back to him. How can she track a killer from inside a cage? What will happen when she reverts back to her human form?

Devlyn has been sent to return Bella to the gray lupus garou pack that helped to raise her, and more importantly to bring Volan his mate. He never thought that he would be rescuing her from a zoo. The truth is that he has always wanted Bella for his own, but she always seems to push him away. When she convinces him to help her trap the red lupus garou that is killing the women, he becomes even more territorial. Now he has to protect her from the red alpha who wants her as mate. Will she ever let him prove that he can defeat Volan, and be the mate she deserves to have? Will they live long enough to have any kind of future together?

Terry Spear has written a wonderful story. She captures the essence of the wolf and combines it with what it means to be human to create the lupus garou, a sexy and mysterious group of werewolves. She not only has a sexy alpha male, but also a sexy alpha female who is not afraid to go after what she wants. The cast of secondary characters adds quite a bit to the charm of the tale. The action is fast paced, and the search for the killer keeps you on the edge of your seat. Ms. Spear is a gifted author who brings a unique perspective to the paranormal genre. HEART OF THE WOLF is an enchanting romance, and I certainly hope to read more lupus garou stories in the future.

SUMMARY

While searching for clues of a lupus garou who is killing women in the rainy Portland suburbs, Bella Wilder becomes the hunted. She had run away from the gray pack who had taken her in when she was she young. And she will do so again before the brutish pack leader can have her.

Devlyn Greystoke has a mission—return Bella to the gray pack for safekeeping before she exposes their kind and gets herself killed. But little red wolves are in short supply and high demand and Bella’s determined to be the bait to flush out the killer. Keeping her out of danger is only half the trouble Devlyn encounters as his compulsion to make her his mate grows and she fights being his, fearful the pack leader will kill him.

Volan Smith, the gray alpha leader, claimed Bella when she was young. Now that he has located her, he wants Bella back. And he will stop at nothing to have her.
