Recommended Read from FAR
Red werewolf Bella flees her adoptive pack of gray werewolves when the alpha male Volan tries forcibly to claim her as his mate. Her real love, beta male Devlyn, has been out of her life for years, but comes after her when she finds herself accidentally captured by humans. Bella becomes convinced that Devlyn only wants to return her to Volan, but soon realizes that Devlyn loves her as much as she loves him, and is willing to fight Volan to the death to claim her. That problem pales, however, as a pack of red werewolves takes to killing human females in a crazed quest to claim Bella for their own. Bella and Devlyn must defeat the rogue wolves before Devlyn's final confrontation with Volan.
The vulpine couple's chemistry crackles off the page, but the real strength of the book lies in Spear's depiction of pack power dynamics, as well as in the details of human−wolf interaction. Her wolf world feels at once palpable and even plausible. (Apr.)--Publisher's Weekly(c) 2007 Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Book Excerpt:
He waited for her response. She wanted to tell him she would join him, but she couldn’t, not unless she told him she’d be his mate. Otherwise, she’d let things go too far.
He raised a brow, challenging her. “Coming?”
As a mature lupus garou, Devlyn proved hotter than the blue flicker of the flame. A wicked wolf and all hers if she’d just give the go ahead.
She turned to her neighbor. “Uhm, Chrissie, thanks for the pie. I’ll talk to you later.”
Chrissie’s green eyes bulged like a Pekinese’s.
Bella smiled. “Sorry, that’s the problem with renewing old relationships. They can be awfully demanding.”
Chrissie stammered, “Uh, yeah, well, okay. Talk to you later.”
Bella closed the door, then turned to Devlyn. “Where the hell have you been?” she snapped, the irritation still racing high to think she’d worried so about his safety.
“Running. I already said so,” he retorted, his own voice still angry. He stormed off in the direction of the bedroom.
Setting the pie on the coffee table, she dashed after him. “You do not like sweets, liar.”
He turned to her, his eyes dark and angry. “I do too love sweets, Bella. Your kind of sweets.” But he wasn’t smiling.
