Get ready to run with the red wolves in Spear’s latest action-filled novel! Your heart will batter against your chest as a new pack runs for its very survival.

Despite being the fifth novel in Terry Spear’s werewolf series, Seduced by the Wolf was written as a stand-alone. As a rule, I enjoy reading previous installments in a series. Simply because I like to spot cameo appearances. For example, Sarge from book four is now in Leidolf’s pack, and consequently part of book five. There are also references to book one characters: Alfred, Bella Wilder, Big Red, and Thompson. But again, reading the others isn’t a prerequisite to run with these reds.

Ms. Spear has an uncanny gift for accurately describing wolf behaviors. So much so, I’m beginning to speculate whether she herself is a lupus garou (werewolf), or if she just lives among a pack of real wolves. I guess we’ll never know!

Leidolf Wildhaven (hero) is a sexy rancher, and an “unmated” alpha doing his best to protect his pack. He’s the pack leader in Portland who takes in abused garous, providing them with a family and a chance at a better life. Used to being in charge, and never second guessed, he’s a wonderful superior. Until a Dr. Cassie Roux (heroine) arrives in Oregon. Cassie is a wolf biologist and advocate. On a deadline to write about wolf behaviors for a journal, her primary goal is to locate and document a red female lupus (wolf). When Cassie realizes the female and her pups need protection along with food to survive-Dr. Roux knows she’s the only one who can aid them. Their safety is now the only thing that matters!

Since Cassie’s arrival, Leidolf’s been asleep at the switch. She’s proving to be one hell of a distraction! Dr. Roux will risk it all, even her life to save the female and her pups. Leidolf's priority has always been the protection of his pack. Now hunters are on the loose. And with Cassie missing in Mount Hood National Forest everyone’s lives are in peril. Leidolf really can’t afford to keep getting distracted. Together Cassie and Leidolf will realize the greatest risk they face, may not be within the grounds of a national park. What they risk is losing their hearts!

Comedic Moments: How the Jag keeps getting stolen. That sports car can’t stay put!

What got me howling: When the male pack members fan out in search parties.

Recommendations: You’ll be seduced if you enjoy howling at the moon, stripping out of your clothes, reading paranormal romances with happily-ever-afters, if you like real wolves, werewolves, or just steamy sex in log cabins with a man that’s a real animal!

Want more sexy wolves? Book six is set for release in December 2010, titled Wolf Fever. Installments seven and eight are due out in 2011.
