She's exactly what he wants to sink his teeth into...
Jordan Hill is his pack's Alpha. The Big Bad Wolf. And after his last breakup, he's opting to be the lone wolf, too. But then his rival's little sister—a human, of all creatures—comes to his door. And suddenly, what should be a tasty little snack turns out to be something more than Jordan could ever imagine...
Christa Hansen is simply looking for a place to stay. Yet the dark shifter smells irresistibly like forever. But getting involved with the wolf who tried to kill her brother—twice—is lunacy. Besides, in the unforgiving, shadowed world of shifters, there is no room for weakness. And falling for her family's enemy won't just be her downfall... it will be his, too.

We’ve already met our main characters in the first book, even if their roles weren’t large roles. Crista is the sister of Dane, book one hero. She owns the house cat that I previously mentioned. The cat’s name is Lucifer. Crista is a very strong individual. She is a human who knows nothing about werewolves. She also has MS, multiple sclerosis. If you are not familiar with this disease, that can really take a lot out of a person.
Jordan is the alpha of the pack. He is also the only Lycan in his family. While both of his parents are full Lycans, neither of his brothers ever shifted. Then not only is is a Lycan, but he becomes alpha of a pack. This made for a lot of struggles between him and his brothers.
In this world, a couple will scent match, meaning that they know their mate at first smell. Jordan fights the scent match because he has not had much luck with women. He has had several girlfriends who were crazy. So when he scent matches with Crista, he is extremely hesitant.
There is suspense in this story as Jordan helps some former packmates to track some poachers. Poachers are humans who hunt and kill Lycans to sell their organs on the black market.
I really enjoyed this story. I didn’t find it nearly as humorous as the first book in the series, but this one did have it’s moments. This is a book that you could read without reading the first book in the series. But, saying that, I liked book one a lot more, so I would recommend reading it just because it is a great read.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
Okay, I’m gonna have to trust you on this one. This werewolf is definitely going against everything I’ve known about werewolves. He seems kind of…lame. Lol. But. Perhaps the appeal is in his uniqueness? 🙂

Jordan is an alpha male. He does have some insecurities, but I felt it made him more real. He has had horrible tastes in women in the past, but he finally gets a good one in this book.

It is a really great series. I need to look at what else this author has to offer. So far, I’ve just read these two.

This one came on me pretty quick too. I didn’t know it was out until I saw it on a release day post. The author told me she is working on book three. YAY!! 🙂

This series sounds like so much fun! Sorry this second installment didn’t quite end up as funny as the first but it still sounds like it was a good read.

It was still great, but book one was better. I can’t wait for book three.

You’ve got me intrigued now. I may just have to check out book 1 🙂 Thanks!

I hope you like it. Book one has the murder mystery aspect with more humor than this one. I really love this series and can’t wait for book three.

I bought it but heaven only knows when I will get to read it-sounds really good!
Lorna recently posted…Review: A Vampire’s Christmas Carol by Cynthia Eden
Oh I confess that you’re right, now I’m quite intrigued too! I didn’t know about this one but the ideas are so much fun! I want to try! thanks for the review!
I loved when I found book one earlier this year. It is a great new werewolf series. I hope you enjoy it. I know that I’m already dying for book three.

I like that the characters in these books are suffering from illness or disabilities. I applaud authors who bring light to diseases like MS, but sadly I’m still on my PNR slump so this is a no-no read for me. 🙁

Going into book one, I knew all about the severe allergies of the main character. While the author has fun with it, she does bring to light the difficulties that come with something that to many seem like a small deal. I was very surprised to see that the heroine in this one had MS. I loved how the author really showed not only how hard it could be for her, but how little things like stress could cause a flare up. I hope you put this one on your list for when you choose to go back to PNR.

Well, the werewolf with allergies made me curious, Melanie. 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed this second installment even if it didn’t bring the giggles like book one did. I am intrigued with Crista and Jordan’s story though…scent matching?

The werewolf with allergies is how I got pulled into the series to start. I’m so glad I did. It is a great series. Yea, these werewolves scent match. Once they smell their mate, they are pretty much hooked. There is no use fighting, though they do. It is a great series. I hope you enjoy.
Seems like so much fun and good to hear enjoyable even with the insta love
It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy.

Oh this sounds like a fun series -I agree with you, an alpha that can be taken out by a house cat because of allergies is too good to pass up. Too bad this wasn’t as good as the first, hopefully the next one raises the bar a bit. Adding to mg tbr!

I can’t wait for book three. Book one was so much fun. This one is good too, just didn’t have the zing that the first one did.
Melanie recently posted…Paranormal New Releases: December 9th
Sounds good Melanie! I don’t think I read a paranormal story where the characters are less than perfect, so this sounds like a fresh approach. I will add these to my TBR.
This is the first time I’m hearing from the author. Thanks for putting her on my radar 🙂

That’s what’s so great about this series. The people are very real with real world issues. I’m so glad I found her earlier this year.
