"Sexy and realistic-seeming werewolf world"

When Honor Tate's father died, he left her as Alpha of the White Paw Clan of werewolves. This means she must fight other werewolves who challenge her right to the position--to the death. Although Honor cares for her clan and feels duty-bound to take her father's position, in her heart she would rather do something completely different.

When Honor requests acknowledgment of her position, Logan Hunter is sent as a representative to assess the situation and determine whether Honor is capable of doing her job as Alpha.

Logan arrives at Honor's compound a few days before Honor is due to go into heat. She tries to hide this information from Logan--whom she finds attractive--because she does not want the complications that could come from mating with him. But that's only one of her problems. In addition to the instant attraction between the Logan and Honor, someone does not want her to make it as Alpha.

Logan knows what his job is but can he remain objective about Honor while falling in love with her?

Christine Warren has created a really realistic Lupine world. I think the whole concept of humans living, mating, and behaving like wolves is sexy. This is a well written and good story. Readers familiar with her work, as well as those new to her, will enjoy it.

Summary

Logan Hunter has finally found a woman he wants for his mate. The only problem is, she's already married to his best friend, Graham Winters, who also happens to be his boss—Alpha of the Silverback Clan.

Honor Tate found herself moving up through the ranks of the White Paw Clan, attaining the position of beta when she was only fifteen. Nine years later the Alpha of the White Paw Clan is gone, leaving her to serve as alpha in his stead. Unexpectedly facing challenges from several males in her pack, she asks Graham Winters to acknowledge her right as the new Alpha. It's either that, or fight every would-be challenger, quite possibly to the death—theirs or hers.

Instead, Graham sends Logan to determine Honor's fitness as the new Alpha of the White Paw Clan. Logan's grateful for the chance to get the hell out of town and get his raging hormones under control. Too bad for him that those hormones are going to rage even harder when he meets Honor Tate face to face and realizes that sometimes fate is smarter than your average were.
