About this ebook
Werewolves head to the heart of the Highlands in this thrilling, sizzling paranormal romance from USA Today bestselling author Terry Spear!
Gray wolf Ian MacNeill is the modern-day laird of his family estate in Scotland, and he quickly finds that ancient Highland castles require a lot of upkeep. When a film production company offers to pay for the use of his castle, he reluctantly agrees, but knows his secretive clan has a big problem when he meets Julia Wildthorn, and not only because Julia is not who she says she is…
Beautiful red wolf Julia Wildthorn insists she's working on her next werewolf romance novel and simply found her way to Ian's home by mistake. What she can't tell him is that she needs to get into Argent Castle to steal an ancient relic for her grandfather. But the more time she spends with Ian in his beautiful castle, the more she realizes he's the perfect hero she's been waiting for. Between her deception and false identity, can Julia find a way to win the heart of her Highland wolf?

82 ratings7 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A well-written novel centered on the passion of two potential mates struggling to protect each other in the face of lustful, abusive pack alphas. The story, characters, and elements of the paranormal setting were somewhat unique and definitely interesting. A significant portion of the book was dedicated to the potential and eventually realized sizzle between the pair. Sometimes it seemed the story was just a device to surround the heated scenes with an interesting structure, and often the plot and characters seemed to simply be interspersed to lightly connect to the next heated encounter. This work should especially appeal to those readers who like a lot of heat, punctuated surrounded with a somewhat interesting story.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This author had an interesting world concept, and weaves a lot of great wolf behavior into her mythology. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand the characters' behaviors and motivations. Not for me, but I'm sure someone else could enjoy it.

Synopsis
The sole survivor of her red wolf pack, Bella is rescued by a grey wolf male and adopted into his pack. Unfortunately, she is soon forced to flee when the pack alpha sets his sights on her and becomes a serious threat. Years later, Bella comes face to face with her past and Devlyn, the wolf who saved her, when circumstances bring them together once again.
Review
Starts out really well with an interesting story and characters with sizzling chemistry. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse with the addition of several improbable subplots.
Bella is a strong-willed and independent heroine. However, the fact that she has no faith in Devlyn's abilities made me like her less. Devlyn, however, is simply gorgeous and the fact that he is constantly walking around naked in a big plus, lol!
The werewolf mythology has potential, especially with the inclusion of traditional wolf characteristics and behaviors. However, the explanation of their origins is very sketchy and underdeveloped. Moreover, the overly obsessive and sexist nature of the wolves becomes aggravating after a while. Every wolf in the book is determined to "claim" Bella whether she likes it or not, and this is just annoying.
The writing flows smoothly and the dialogue is good but the plot becomes excessively convoluted with too many storylines that are never fully realized. Moreover, the resolution of the serial killer plot is ultimately unsatisfying. The sex scenes also become repetitive and superfluous and add nothing to Bella and Devlyn's relationship.
The secondary characters don't contribute much and even the hints at the next book don't sound that promising - the hero is a red wolf and after they are completely ridiculed in this one, I'm not that certain that I will be continuing. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Devlyn and Bella what can you say! She get her self in trouble and he saves her not only from her self but the one person she hates. the romance is get!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book was not very good as a romance. All of the romantic stuff took place in the past and it is about them getting re-aquainted. The book is more about solving some mureder mystery that never really answers all of the questions posed in the book. It also views humans as week or lesser beings. There is also a lot of fighting and wolf pack dynamics.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I picked up this book thinking it would be excellent, but there's not much to it. The idea was good, but the author just didn't make the story plot - in my mind - good. It kept my attention but just barley.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I won the 10th book in this series from GR First Reads program back in 2013. Unfortunately, that meant I had to collect the others in the series before reading it. Now that I have, I'm going to make my way through the series so that I can read the one I won. The first book was good. I love the "werewolf" aspect of the romance and it gets pretty steamy. But I also love the aspect of a mystery that needs to be solved, some drama going on in the main character's lives that needs to be fixed, and even a bit of thriller element going on. It wasn't just pure romance, there was a story there, something that just kept you reading. It will be interesting to see if the series follows the same characters or pack, or if we get a new couple each book.
