SEAL WOLF HUNTING is Book sixteen in the Heart of the
Wolf
series by Terry Spear. Even though it's part of a series,
I believe that readers who are new to the series can
still read and enjoy SEAL WOLF HUNTING. This is a
"friends-to-lovers" story about two people who grew up
together but never acted on their mutual attraction until
now -- and they're both werewolves. For me, the heart of
the story is the evolution of Paul Cunningham and Lori
Greypaw's relationship. There are a little bit of danger
at times, but the focus is on the romance and the main
characters.
Lori Greypaw is another strong female character created
by Terry Spear. Rather than whine and mope about the
object of her affection never staying home long enough to
have a relationship with, Lori is pragmatic and living
her life to the fullest. She is a woman who recognizes
the part she plays in her family and her wolf pack while
maximizing her strengths. Lori is typical of the kind of
grounded, multifaceted, likable characters that Terry
Spear writes about. I like romances in which the hero and
heroine are working together and don't come into a lot of
conflict with each other. Lori and Paul are definitely on
the same side and don't do a lot of arguing, but their
changing relationship has a learning curve.
The sense of danger in SEAL WOLF HUNTING comes from a few
local omega wolf malcontents. The troublemakers are
always on the periphery creating an anticipation of
violence. This tension balances out the romance and
lighter moments. I like how this aspect of SEAL WOLF
HUNTING ties into Lori and Paul's relationship. Lori's
first reaction to being harassed is to handle things
herself because that's what she's had to do for so many
years while Paul went on missions and wasn't always
around. The trust and ability for Lori to rely on Paul is
something that is an ongoing theme in SEAL WOLF HUNTING.
SEAL WOLF HUNTING is a fun, sweet, and character-driven
romance. The passion between Lori and Paul gets hotter
and intensifies as their feelings grow and become
stronger. One of the strengths of this book, as well as
this series, is the tight-knit relationships between
family and friends. I love how the members of Lori and
Paul's pack support each other and watch out for each
other. As always, I look forward to the next book by
Terry Spear.
