"Great series. If you love werewolves, you'll love this story."
Adrian Gentry, werewolf captive to a vampire for the past
20 years, finally has a chance to escape. Permanently stuck
in wolf form until he can get a silver bullet removed from
his hip, he has to leave his sisters, and fellow captives,
in the hopes that he can find help. Not in the best of
shape, and on the verge of death, he's found by Natalie
Cash. Natalie is a waitress with a soft spot for animals, but
she's not sure if she can give the local veterinarian what
he wants in exchange for keeping her wolf a secret. If the
authorities found out she was harboring a wolf they would
either put him down, or try to relocate him. She knows that
he won't survive either way but is it worth her self
respect? Elizabeth L'Inconnu has continued her werewolf series that
started with To Catch A Wolf. It was pleasantly surprising
to read a story where the strong partner started out being
the woman and then it ended up being shared equally between
the two main characters. Not that she made the male lead
character a wimp, but he had his issues that he had to work
out and Elizabeth did it admirably. Darkly humorous,
especially toward the end, I couldn't put it down until I'd
finished it. I haven't read the first in this series, but I
will now, and I'm looking forward to reading the next
installment and finding out what happens next!

Adrian Gentry and his two sisters are long thought dead by their family. Taken captive by a vampire when they were young, Adrian assumed that Adam was killed that day until he felt Adam dying. Badly hurt and malnourished, Adrian finally escapes, knowing it is only a matter of time before his master finds him missing and hunts him down. When Natalie Cash finds a wounded wolf on her property, she tries to help him. Calling in the local vet to help proves unwise, but Natalie will do all she can to see the wolf nursed back to health. As he heals, Adrian finds himself falling for his new owner and despite his dislike of the vet, he knows he needs the man’s help - he has a silver bullet embedded in his rump. Stuck in his wolf form, how will he convince Natalie to have the bullet removed and how will she take it when she discovers the truth that he is not only a wolf but a werewolf — part wolf and part man? Will she be as free with her affections for him then or will she throw him out to fend for himself in a world he no longer understands? Genre: Paranormal Romance, Shapeshifter, Werewolf
