She moved back against the pillows. She shook her head and pushed back her thick hair. His mark was plain to see on her neck. She smiled seductively. Her blue eyes burned cobalt in their intensity. She slowly shook her head again. Her dark hair swirled down her shoulders to her waist. Her tits peeked out from between the thick strands.

She was stunning. He could not help the direction of his gaze as it followed the firm dip of her belly to her slightly  flared hips. Slowly she spread her thighs. "You can change your mind and and take me."

Now it's your turn to show me your sexy!

~ Book Review ~

I truly enjoyed this story from start to finish.

First off, I have only read the first of the Westfield Wolves Series--Book One, A Certain Wolfish Charm, to be exact. It has been a while since I have read this, but I am so glad that I decided to get back to the Westfield men and the other Regency gentlemen of Dare's world. Now I must go back and finish this delicious and wolfishly sexy series.

The Wolf Who Loved Me starts out with Madeline Hayburn, a young English lady whose father is determined to see her married. Her prospects are after her love...er...money and the thought leaves Maddie feeling that she will never truly experience a passion-filled marriage.

Weston Hadley, a poor relation to the charismatic Dash (The Taming Of The Wolf) has no hopes of ever being with the woman he has loved from afar--the beautiful and well-mannered Madeline Hayburn. He has no job, no money, and no chance to woo the woman he fell in love at first sight three years ago. So he chooses to stay to the shadows.

Circumstances put the two together after Madeline witnesses Weston's transformation into the big bad Wolf...and he can no longer stick to the shadows. He must keep her from revealing what she knows in order not only to protect himself--but others of his clan. Madeline and Wes have an explosive sexual chemistry that make for wicked nights and a steamy read as the two almost-strangers embark to Scotland via a very humorous carriage ride.

What follows is a very entertaining read and the pages flew as I soaked up the words of Lydia Dare's Regency Wolves...I laughed at the Hadley brother antics and the comical ignorance of Madeline as she covers herself in dung-YES--DUNG, mistaking it for mud.

The climatic conclusion was sappy yet sweet and I made an audible "AWWWW..." as I read the ending.

If you love historical romance with shifters to boot-Lydia Dare's THE WOLF WHO LOVED ME will truly charm you and wanting more.

Book Blurb:

Meara Greymere is in charge of the cabin rentals on the rugged Oregon coastline, so her brother and his mate could take a delayed honeymoon. But while Hunter is away, the she-wolf intends to play—she just has to convince the right alpha male to rent one of the cabins, and she’ll take it from there. But when Finn Emerson arrives with every intention of pretending to be her lover, she's not going to take this lying down. She knows he'll tell her brother what she's up to and put an end to her game.

Finn Emerson is a Navy SEAL, formerly one of Hunter Greymere’s team members, and now he's trying to track down a gray wolf, who's already made an attempt on one of their team member's lives. Finn believes Hunter will be targeted next, only to discover Hunter is off with his mate on a honeymoon, and he fears Hunter’s sister is in grave danger. But the SEAL soon learns protecting the unpredictable sexy she-wolf is a mission and a half and protecting her isn’t all he wants to do.

Book Review:

Let me start off by saying I have never read any of the previous books in the Heart of the Wolf Series. What attracted me to this book were three things:

1. Many, many, recommendations from friends who loved the books in this series.

2. SEAL--I am a sucker for military romance.

3. Cover, Cover, Cover...yeah, it captured my attention and I had to see if it would rock my world.

That being said, I loathe to read out of order. and typically don't. However, I never felt 'lost' while reading the book. The author did a superb job in explaining her 'world' without it getting too wordy and/or  losing the flow of the story line.

Although the heroine Mearna was not to my liking, I did love the quirkiness of her character. She had some endearing moments for me. I guess what I didn't really get was all the MUST FIND A MATE NOW scenario. For me, the plot was a little predictable, the 'can't have you, but I WANT YOU' a little cliched, and it didn't exactly rock my world when the two finally got together. The build-up was way hotter and more intense.

Finn, the SEAL hell bent on protecting her, was also hell bent in staying out of her bed. This made for some really good UST moments as well as some serious over-the-clothes smexy times that fogged my glasses and had my kindle smoking...great sexual chemistry between the two lovebirds. 

I also loved the cast of secondary characters and hope to see some of them get their own story. I'm not sure how many the author has planned out for this series, but I will be hanging out waiting to read more about Roarke.  

My rating is due to the lack of originality, not in the lack of great character development, solid world building, or plot development. It just lacked the UMPH that I like to have in a book--one that keeps me glued to the kindle (or the paperback, as the case may be).

If you are fan of shifters, strong heroes who can kick ass, you will love this installment of Terry Spears Heart of the Wolf Series.
