This is the very first of Rebecca York's werewolf books. I love this series.
The werewolf hero is a detective, looking for a gene therapy answer for his heritage that has all female offspring stillborn and only a small portion of male offspring surviving to adulthood.
He meets the genetic researcher heroine when she comes to collect his blood sample and finds him naked, passed out on the floor after being shot in wolf form by a serial killer he's tracking.
The story is intense and exciting, and keeps you turning pages. Ruth's definitely one of my favorite authors.

Rebecca has done it again. Some writers promise me a sleepless night and this author is one! There is not a book in this series that won't make you listen to house settling sounds and see monsters in the shadows.

Not bad. The overall storyline was good, but it was a little to melodramatic and soap operaish. The dialog left a lot to be desired. There were a lot of exchanges like this: "Ross." "Megan." "Ross!" "Megan!" "Oh God, Ross!" I kept wishing they would say more than each other's names. Also, some of the things they did seemed a bit unrealistic, or unreasonable. I'm still not sure why Ross felt he needed to search Megan's house, and I was a bit creeped out by his lingering over her stuff. Yeah, I get that he was supposed to have chosen her as his "mate," and that no other woman will do, and he will always want her so when he thought it was over he was despondent blah, blah. But, I don't know...that move seemed a bit desperate and needy, and I guess I don't like my alpha guys desperate and needy to the point where they start to resemble a creepy stalker.

This is what a werewolf novel is supposed to be like! The character development was good, the storyline was interesting, and the romance was HOT! While a bit far-fetched as to the explaining of the werewolf gene....let's face it, were talking about werewolves here, you can't get much more far-fetched than that! I really enjoyed the private detective angle also. I liked this one enough to order the rest of her series. If you like were-novels, then I would definately suggest giving this one a look!

I have been a fan of "monster" books since I was about 10; the werewolf type presented in this book is not unique (why do so many writers decide that for some reason the werewolf "gene" is deadly to girls? Scientifically girl babies are MORE robust, not less . . . *shrug*), but the overall concept is really quite interesting.
Ross Marshall is the latest in a line of werewolves descended from a single forebear - apparently around the time of the druids - who dared to ask the gods for a gift . . . although that gift was granted, it comes with a price; baby girls are stillborn and many of the boys die when they are teens and very first try to transform. Ross is a bachelour and determined to stay that way, as he is afraid he will turn out to be like his father - a very cruel man - as well as afraid to even try to have children. However, he is also curious if, genetically, anything can be done. So, he calls a genetic testing lab and asks for someone to come out and test his blood. Dr. Megan Sheridan is sent. It is love at very first sight (of course).
Wrapped around their love story is Ross' endeavor to bring a serial killer to justice (he works as a PI) as well as his friend - Detective Jack Thornton - becoming suspicious about Ross' involvement in the death of a serial killer 5 years ago.
Overall, this was really a good book. Lots of thrills and chills and the dynamic tension between the romantic leads was well done - in a REALISTIC manner, rather than the typical romance novel approach, which is to have the two romantic partners dislike each other for no good reason. For fans of paranormal romance action thrillers with a twist, you'll like this one!
