Ryker Grey is a pack Enforcer for the Black Hills Wolves, he is use to being on the outside looking in. It was the only way he could survive under the old Alpha. The new Alpha, Drew, is bringing back the life long missing to the pack but Ryker remains wary and vigilant. He has no idea that he is about to find our WHAT A WOLF WANTS he can have.

Saja Lyons has spent years studying cultures, but never feeling as if she belongs. Now on a three months cross country road trip she has enjoyed it all until her car breaks down on a stretch of deserted road in the middle of nowhere South Dakota

The only reason he approached Saja is to help her and get her away from Los Lobos as quickly as possible. For the safety of the pack. But something about this human woman arouses much more than the hunter instinct, the protective instinct ... she arouses him ... period. What if the best thing to ever happen to him is a danger to his pack? What will this enforcer ... trained to kill and protect do ... if his heart is threatened?

WHAT A WOLF WANTS is an incredible, though way too short, read. I felt for Ryker because of his blood oath to the former Alpha he had separated himself from the pack as much as possible leaving this wolf isolated and lonely. Then in comes Saja adorable but a little odd and he slowly comes to life despite trying to keep his distance. You have to admire the way author Heather Long throws the readers into the relationship dance with all the surprises that follow their meeting. I found myself laughing out loud a number of times mostly at Saja's monologue about what was happening to her. This is book two of the Black Hills Wolves series (Wolf's Return by Rebecca Royce was the first) but it is a stand alone book with enough background information so you won't feel lost. Ms. Long never disappoints ... her characters have depth; enough twists and turns to keep you glued to the pages, and the sex ... hot and steamy. I can't wait for the next book to come from her vivid imagination.
