"A female werewolf finds love when she least expects it"

Working on a wolf preserve, Serena Wilde has found a place to call home. She enjoys working with the wolves and they accept her as one of their own. That's because Serena is a werewolf. She ran away from her pack when the alpha male wouldn't take 'no' for an answer to becoming his mate. Serena has been in hiding ever since. What luck it was finding this job at the wolf preserve. With her wolf heat cycle coming on, Serena needs to disappear for a few days. But her boss has other ideas.

Wolf expert Dr. Kearnan Gray has been waiting three years for the right moment to make his move on Serena. From the beginning, he sensed something different about her. After confirming his suspicions, Kearnan intends to claim Serena as his. Not just as a lover, but as his mate. With a bold move, he lays claim to her body and begins a slow seduction of her senses. Kearnan also has a closely held secret. He's a werewolf, but not just a run-of-the-mill werewolf.

Waking up chained to a bed doesn't put Serena in a very good mood to start her yearly wolf heat cycle. She doesn't understand why Kearnan has chosen to take her now, but soon Serena couldn't care any less. If Kearnan stops his enticement of Serena, she won't be responsible for her actions. What happens next after she accepts Kearnan as her man? Will she learn of Kearnan's past? And will Kearnan fight to keep her as his mate?

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and cannot wait for the next book in the series. Ms. Mays has written a compelling werewolf love story. I loved it so much that I promptly re-read the story instead of working on my review of it. Serena and Kearnan have a great future ahead of them, partners in every way. Don't miss this great new werewolf series from Ellora's Cave!

Summary

Serena Wilde was anything but serene. The full moon was tonight. She had to get away, or she'd be far wilder than her sexy boss could ever anticipate. Why in the world did he have to demand that she show up for a meeting about a new breeding program now? Dr. Kearnan Gray might be an expert on wolves, but he didn't know a damn thing about werewolves, especially one that was about to come into heat.

Sexual Content: E-rotic. Genre: Werewolf.
