Written by Terry Spear, one of the Queens of Werewolf Fiction (don’t know if that’s a title, but I’m giving it out now), You Had Me at Wolf follows Nicole, a retired investigate for the military (think a step above Military Police) who is a werewolf, and now a PI after retiring from the military. Her current case? To prove that a man who claims to be dead, and got the insurance money, is faking his death. The fact that she ends up needing one of the owners, Blake, as a pretend boyfriend -a nice, hot werewolf – doesn’t hurt either. But, besides protecting Nicole and helping her as much as he can, Blake really wants Nicole to stay and be his forever.
Now, even though this is a romance and shouldn’t need this, this is not intended for children.
The writing in here was reliable and very much a nice, easy read for the start of what should soon be summer. Or a nice, cozy inside read. The romance in this is out of left field and diving head first, but it was sweet and made for exactly what you though you’d be getting: a nice, cozy romance with a bit of mystery. Blake was a great character, as was Nicole, though a lot of the interactions felt a little… forced? Not between the two of them, but more with how excepting everyone working at the ski lodge was.
But, if you’re wanting an easy romance read with a side of action and mystery and werewolf, this is a good choice.
I did receive a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
