"an enjoyable romantic suspense and shape shifter story"
Saved from a wildfire as a child-pup by Devlyn, Red
werewolf Bella
is adopted into a pack of Gray werewolves. When the new
alpha,
Volan tries to force her to become his mate, Bella goes into
hiding. Werewolves age 1 year for every 30 human years, so
her
exile has been a long one. Bella is still in love with
Devlyn, but
knows he will not leave the pack. Even if they did, Volan
would
come after her destroying anyone who stood against his
claiming
her. When she scents it is a werewolf responsible for killing
local
women, Bella searches the woods in her wolf form.
Distracted,
Bella is unaware of the danger until she is tranquilized and
brought to the zoo. Bella must escape the zoo before the
moon
fades and she becomes human, unable to shift back to her
wolf form
for several days. Meanwhile, news of a rare female red
wolf in
captivity reaches not only Volan's pack, but the local red
werewolves looking for a mate... and the chase begins. Devlyn is not ambitious in wanting to be pack alpha,
although he is
willing to fight for Bella. He comes to take her back to
her
adopted pack but when she explains the werewolf killings,
he agrees
that they need to solve the case to maintain the secret of
lupus
garou's existence. As if Devlyn and Bella don't have enough
trouble with lupus garou politics and danger, they have the
zookeeper hot on the trail of the missing red wolf. Bella is independent but a realist which makes an
interesting alpha
heroine. Rather than following the popular trend with
multiple
shape-shifting types, this book focuses on Wolf packs as
lupus
garou. I enjoyed that for lupus garou, there
are "nationalities"
as well as packs. There is enough humor and hot romance to
balance
the suspense and information in the storyline. HEART OF
THE WOLF
is an enjoyable romantic suspense and shape shifter story
you won't
want to miss. Reviewed by Cy Korte
