Lone Wolf by Tessa Clarke
4.0

Unlike some stories where they hide the truth, in Clarke’s world shifters are commonly known and accepted. They even use their special abilities to help their communities, which I think is nice because it shows that they have something to offer the world. This is a short read, introducing Delany and Leif and their friends/family, so that also helps because it cuts out some explanation time :)

I do wish there had been more time spent on Leif’s healing over what caused him to be separated from his brothers. It’s very important to the man he’s become and why he’s making the choices he is, so it needs proper handling. While there is resolution (and good explanation) I just wish there had been a little more because it really is that important for him and complicates his life & his romance with Delany.

Clarke does a great job of giving us relatable characters and a plot that, while simple, is enjoyable. The language is a bit … blue, I think, is the term for it. And the sex is graphic but none of it is overly kinky. Which means that it isn’t going to be for everyone, but it is a good choice for those who like paranormal erotica.
