97) Werewolf in Greenwich Village by Vicki Lewis Thompson

The Blurb :

Quentin Wallace has it all. He's got money in the bank from his lucrative job as a Manhattan contractor, and he runs with the big dogs of his were pack. But when he meets and falls for Nadia—who's soon to be named the leader of New York's Henderson pack—he knows he's in over his head. Nadia belongs to a rarefied world; Quentin would sooner be seen in torn jeans than in an Armani suit. But when Nadia's new position is threatened by a rebel were, Quentin has a chance to prove his worthiness and his love—and show her the alpha-male inside

My Thoughts :

I read the first in this series, A Werewolf in Manhattan, when I was in New York last year.  I really enjoyed the story and have been really eager to read more about this werewolf world.  However there are always too many books and not enough time and it has been a year since I read the first book in the series.

So when I saw this novella (#1.5 in the series) I couldn't resist and it brought back all the memories of how much I enjoyed the debut book in the Wild About You series.  I can't promise that I will get to the second book any quicker now but I still have it on my radar and my wishlist.  Hopefully one day soon I will get the chance to catch up and see what happens to Quentin and Nadia as well as Adian and Emma.

If you haven't had the pleasure of trying this series then think of it as Lynsay Sands but with Werewolves instead of Vampires.  The relationship and romance are of course the main content and conclusion but the who, why, when and how all make the story just that little bit more interesting, exciting and readable.

111) A Werewolf in Manhattan by Vicki Lewis Thompson

The Blurb :

A Fantasy Come to Life -- Literally. — Emma Gavin writes bestselling novels about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them -- and she certainly doesn't think she'll meet one. But that's exactly what happens when her books catch the attention of a rich and powerful pack of Manhattan Weres, who have kept their existence hidden for centuries. Alarmed by the accuracy of her novels, they're determined to find out if a renegade is acting as her informant.

Aidan Wallace, the pack leader's son and heir, knows he's the wolf for the job, but when he gets close to Emma, they are both surprised by an attraction too strong to deny. To surrender to it, Aidan will have to risk everything -- including the security of the pack he's sworn to protect.

My Thoughts :

When in Manhattan, read about Manhattan! That was my reason for starting this book while on holiday. I couldn't resist reading a story based in the city I was visiting. It seemed like the perfect read and I was right. Even if only the first third of the book was actually set in Manhattan.

Vicki Lewis Thompson is a relatively new author to me. I think this is only the second book I have read by the writer even though she has been on my radar for a very long time. I have to say I am impressed so far. Not too lovey dovey but totally paranormal her books remind me of Lynsay Sands and Molly Harper. With some nice humour in there for good measure there isn't much wrong with this the debut in the Wild About You series.

I liked the characters in this book and instantly adored Emma. Who wouldn't like a normal girl who writes about werewolves for a living and lives in Manhattan. Aidan didn't take much getting used to either and I was cheering for them both the whole way through. It was fun seeing where things would take the pair who were so obviously meant to be a couple.

The style is right and the content is good. There will be more books by this author going on my wishlist and I look forward to reading them.
