Summary: Wild, Fun, and Possible
Review: I enjoyed this book so much, I loved the way the story came together. I loved the way she fit the wolf aspect into the story. The heroine was so much more real being unable to make up her mind and then when she does she begins to understand the mistake that she may have made. It made me think how would I choose when faced with a situation that is permenant. What could I give up? What would I need to keep? Then of course there is the fantasy of a new and possible land that may be just beyond our reach in an area we have yet to walk upon.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has the imagination to accept what MAY BE POSSIBLE....it's a keeper.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not one of her best books
Review: I feel she jumped around in the story a lot. I got lost after the prologue. I like the idea and point of the story, that a woman and a man from two different worlds could fall in love, but how it happens is a little far fetched. I did not like it that well, but someone else might.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An alright book...
Review: Overall, I gave this book three stars because I found I didn't like it much. I read the back cover, and the blub sounded interesting. I also read it because I love reading Science Fiction and Fantasy Romances.

I was a bit dissapointed. The plot had an annoying tendency to be boringly slow sometimes (for instance, the book is almost halfway through before the hero and the heroine meet each other and have their first conversation), and totally too fast at other times (example: They jump into bed with each other, when they've only exchanged one or two meaningfull conversations.). I felt like there wasn't enough interaction between the two characters to warrant the kind of feelings they had for each other. The plot was far-fetched, even for a Fantasy Romance, and I found the way the characters reacted in certain situations hard to relate to. I felt that maybe the author should have spent more time developing the romance, and narrowed down the first hundered pages to about fifty. Another thing I disliked was the way she wrote her sex scenes. I felt that the timing was completely unrealistic, not to mention that the act itself wasn't anything special. In all, I must say that I think the author can do better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wonderful, warm and sensitive Romantic fantasy.
Review: Saranne Dawson has done a marvelous job of blending sensitivity and romance in a modern day fantasy. Her vivid descriptions of Daken, the Kassids and their homeland, the Dark Mountains, transports you there and holds you as if you yourself were part of the plot. You feel the indecision of both Amanda and Daken, the strength of their feelings and the depth of their love. The passionate moments are very artfully and tastefully done without spoiling the story with explicit details. I would not describe it as a typical wolf/man story but one that touches a heart string in the soul.
