Summary: Paranormal werewolf romance
Review: Alexandra Warrington, first went to Minnesota as a child, where she struck a friendship with shadow, a young black wolf, during the summer holidays. 17 years later, she returns to Minnesota, as a wolf researcher. There she saves a black wolf, not knowing that he is the same wolf that she met many years ago, when her life was carefree. The next morning, she wakes up and the wolf has disappeared but finds a handsome stranger lying next to her in bed. Alexandra slowly realises that the stranger called Kieran Holt is the one and same black wolf called shadow. For Kieran Holt is no human, he is a werewolf, a shape shifter. Kieran has amnesia and cannot remember his past. Alexandra vows to help Kieran unravel the mystery that is his past. With murders occuring at places where Kieran has been to, Alexandra must help him to find his memory and to clear his name.

This is a fast paced story, which will keep you turning the pages, especailly the chase scene across Minnesota up into the Canadian provinces. Alexandra is not a typical beauty but Kieran sees through her physical scars and helps her to overcome her mental scars. Alexandra fights with all her might from falling in love with Kieran but succumbs after she overcomes her fears. The evil charachter of Joseph Arnoux is a true villain and you'll be jumping up and down rooting for Alexandra and Kieran to beat him. Plus we get to meet again the gorgeous Luke GĂ©vaudan from Prince of Wolves. This is a great read and highly recommended for all paranormal romance readers.

Summary: Delightfully romantic with a twist
Review: Eminently readable and filled with mystery and romance. As with all good stories, the hero is handsome and strong; however, this hero has a wolfish side to him, which adds some spice to the standard romance recipe. It works well with the heroine, who is a wolf researcher. Coincidence? No, and that's what makes it interesting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All in all it was a good book
Review: I admit I have read better. I loved the first book Prince of Wolves, and I had hoped that this one was going to be as good. Maybe it was because I kind of knew what to expect, because of the first book, so I wasn't too dazzled by this one. I still liked it though. I believed the characters cared about one another, and I was glad to read about an old friend in it. I recommend it, because for number two in the series it really was worth the read. Ms. Krinard does write an interesting tale, and has a vivid imagination. If you want to read something that is different than the oridinary this book is for you. But PLEASE read PRINCE OF WOLVES first.

Summary: I had to put it down
Review: I finished Chapter 2 and had to put it down before I fell asleep. It's rich in detail, but there's too much detail. This was the first book of her's that I've read and I was reluctant to pick up another, but I have - Prince of Wolves - and it's much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Read
Review: I have to say I LOVED this book. Kieran Holt and Alex were a good match. Krinard's writing has a level of detail and characterization that is uncommon in the romance industry and which I found vastly appealing.

Strengths: Krinard made you really feel for Kieran and his troubled life. Alex's struggles to overcome self esteem and past trauma issues were moving. Even the villain's struggles were gripping. I enjoyed the level of detail revealed in Alex's work as a wolf researcher. The environmental themes were insightful and not preachy.

I particularly liked the scenes when Alex was Shadow.Very cute.

Problems: I really had no problems with this book. Since it is a romance the main focus was on the two main characters and their struggles, I couldn't help but find myself curious about the other sub plot characters and what was going on with them.. I would like to have seen Kieran explore more of his people's heritage, preferably in the company of his own kind, as he had barely begun the rode towards self acceptance and healing at the end of this book.

Overall, an excellent read..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GOOD WORK
Review: I liked this book very much, it was wonderful to know what happened to Luke the character in Prince of Wolves, actually I never expected him to be in this book. Most of the parts that were interesting and exciting was seeing the wild side of Kieran, true a werewolf but his heart was full of pasion. Once again Susan Krinard did a great job.

Summary: average
Review: I was not a fan of this book. I kept reading just to see what all the rage was about. I'm not sure why people love this book so much. Average plot, somewhat original storyline, and average writing. I'd try other writers in this field for more engaging reading (I highly recommend The Bride Finder & Night Drifter for comparison as to how this type of story should be written).
