Spear’s latest novel is bursting with romance, suspense, and heart-pounding excitement!
Legend of the White Wolf is the fourth book in Terry Spear’s werewolf series.
Does it stand alone? Yes.
Recommendations: This novel will appeal to readers who enjoy both paranormal romance, and romantic suspense.
The heroine (Faith O’Malley) is a forensic scientist working with the police dept. in Portland, Oregon. She’s also a woman on a mission. Faith is traveling from Oregon to Maine, in search of her soon-to-be, ex-boyfriend Hilson. Apparently, he just stole her father’s research.
Meet Cameron MacPherson, a sandy haired, blue-eyed gorgeous hero. He’s a physically fit private investigator, and former police officer. Cameron has a mission of his own, to find his missing partners, Owen and David.
But, when Faith and Cameron stumble onto a murder scene, their plans are not only sidetracked, but they are now persons of interest in a murder-mystery.
Will they find the person(s) responsible, or will they become the next targets?
More importantly, can two jilted people learn to love and trust their hearts again? Read Legend of the White Wolf to find out.
Here are some things I enjoyed: There’s a scene, where Cameron runs a towel over Faith’s wet hair. I thought it was both simple and utterly romantic. The author’s description of an Aurora Borealis was also beautifully written.
What will you enjoy? Hunky- wolfish men shedding their clothes, wolf bites, hotel clerk’s key mix-ups, and the reference to the Sleeping Beauty trio.
Legend of the White Wolf will leave you howling for more! Don’t worry, Terry Spear promises to feed our wolf addiction with books five and six, set to release by fall of 2010. Both novels will be published by Sourcebooks, Inc., Casablanca-titled Seduced by the Wolf and Wolf Fever.

September 5th, 2009 — Authors, Contests, Guest Blogger
by Susan S., guest blogger
LRP readers are you ready for round two? Right now, I’m sipping an iced mocha while eyeing 2 beautiful Harlequin Blaze romances. If you’d like a chance to win one, get your fingers ready to google. I’ve reduced the number of questions from 20, down to 10. Not only will this make it easier on your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but guess what? Some of these have the book title, yes you read correctly. Easy peasy right? Before we begin though, there’s good news and bad news.
The good news is this month’s contest is easier; the bad news is you’ll have to work out the answers without Ms. Merryweather’s help. If you’ll recall, Ms. Merryweather was our kind librarian. For some reason she resigned, we can find neither hide nor hair of her. I haven’t seen her since, well, um…since the day of our last contest. No matter, I’m sure you’ll do just fine on your own. Remember I only need author names, titles are not necessary.
Prizes: The Right Stuff
by Lori Wilde or Always Ready
by Joanne Rock.
Winner #1 with the highest number of correct answers will have 1st choice; winner#2 will win the remaining book. If there's a tie for either or both positions, the winner(s) will be drawn from the tied entries by a random generator. You must be 18 years or older to participate. Good luck!

Author #1 The title of her new book was a song from the movie soundtrack An American Werewolf in London.
Author #2 Her heroine is a telepath; that gets erotic with a sexy private investigator.
Author #3 If you need a reason to ring in the year 2010, how about Velvet Haven.
Author #4 Are you part of team Edward or team Jacob? I’m neither, being such a Jasper fan and all.
Author #5 Go to Breathlesspress.com, look under erotic heading. The cover art shows a woman holding one wicked looking sword hilt.
Author #6 Mei Ling orders Chinese takeout, but doesn’t understand why the restaurant is listed under the escort section.
Author #7 It seems little red riding hood is all grown up, sure wouldn’t mind being bitten by that Wolfe.
Author # 8 Cover shows a wolf on the top portion of the book and a couple on the brink of kissing towards the bottom. Hint: Author’s last name rhymes with Dodgers.
Author # 9 Lover Avenged from the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series.
Author # 10 & this concludes our contest. If you visit her website you’ll see a cemetery with a red headed, red lipped, green glowing eyed woman on the right hand corner. Spooky! Hint: Author writes urban fantasy romance.
