Rachel Miller photographed a black wolf in the forest and
carved its likeness into wood. Some years later she's a
well-known artist and her wolves are selling for big money.
What she doesn't know is that she actually based her
carving on a werewolf.
WEREWOLF IN ALASKA brings Rachel too close to nature when a
bear charges her, trying to protect a cub. A black wolf
leaps out of hiding and sees off the bear. This is really
Jake Hunter, son of the original wolf, and he's badly
injured from the fight. Rachel decides that this must be a
wolf-dog mix and brings him in for treatment. She doesn't
realise he's the handsome neighbour she secretly watched
skinny-dipping in the lake. For his part, Jake is firmly
against were-human mating, believing it will lead to
exposure of the shifters' secrets. But tucked under her
bed while he regains strength, he could almost be
persuaded....
Rachel has a friend, Lionel, a Native lad of nineteen, and
when she tells him about the wolf currently polishing off
her steaks, he thoughtfully wonders if it could be a tribal
spirit. Lionel is cautious, pointing out that a wild
animal could carry rabies or Lyme disease, but Rachel used
to work for a veterinarian; she can cope. Until it comes
time to let the wolf go free....
WEREWOLF IN ALASKA is a rich sexy tale of a wild spirit and
an empathetic
girl, sharing a backwoods life in the long Alaskan summer
days. I liked that the wolf is slightly telepathic; most
humans can't hear his thoughts, just animals. Rachel makes
a connection, but other people see a wolf and naturally
reach for a rifle. Not alone that but the Were Council
reacts badly to a potential breach of security.
I got
into the book right away and as the tensions gradually
unfold what at first seems to be a simple relationship
becomes more complex and dangerous. Vicki Lewis Thompson
has given us an adult romance with a difference and after
reading WEREWOLF IN ALASKA I look forward to trying more of
her work.
In Polecat, Alaska, Rachel Miller and Jake Hunter have a mutual admiration for each other—from across a lake. There’s nothing Rachel likes more than spying on the very fit wilderness guide when he skinny-dips each night. And Jake has always been curious about his reclusive artist neighbor. He even bought Rachel’s first wood carving: a wolf who looks suspiciously like him.... Jake is a werewolf, but not just any werewolf. He’s the founder of WARM (Werewolves Against Random Mating). And that means a human like Rachel is off-limits, no matter how attractive he finds her. But when Rachel is threatened by a bear, and Jake shifts to save her, their lives collide with an intense passion, one that could change everything they’ve ever felt about themselves—and each other....
