Wild About You - Series Review

A Werewolf in Manhattan/A Werewolf in the North Woods 
Vicki Lewis Thompson
Books 1-5 Available now.

Recently I was looking for a little literary escapism, you know the type... something you would usually read laying on a beach while on holiday, where nothing really terrible happens, they are  fun and light with just the right amount of drama? Well boy oh boy have I found it - and best of all? there's a whole series of these juicy morsels to feast on!

Each book is based on a male and female character who always have opposing views and chemistry that could start a fire making for a delicious mix of naughty and nice. One of my fave aspects of these novels is the constant yet seamless alterations of perspective between our two main characters, giving a detailed view of the emotional 'stirrings' of both male and female counterparts as it adds a whole new dimension to the mix, besides, who wouldn't want to be inside the head of a hunky wolf, especially when he's thinking all the things you secretly dream that men think *cheeky grin and knowing head nod*





 While they are fun to read sequentially they are always about different characters in the same 'world' so really you can pick up whichever, whenever you like. Vicki weaves together relatable characters, witty repartee, humour and sticky situations often climaxing in steamy liaisons. In fact while we are on the subject of climaxes, these happen to be some of the best sex scenes I have had the pleasure to read, thank you Vicki!

Grab a copy, a comfy chair and a beverage of your choice and enjoy - You can thank me later.

"Oh good," she said. "We still have hours and hours." 

"A veritable wealth of minutes," he said.

She lifted her eyebrows and smiled, "A staggering fortune in seconds".

Having been immersed in YA  reading for a while I had quite forgotten what it was like to read an adult Paranormal Romance novel, its so refreshingly grown up! The characters are mature, the language and premise are so well formulated and in lieu of all the teenage yearning and angst is a satisfying yet tasteful sex scene or two (Yay finally). This is my first experience reading Thea Harrison but I'm sure it wont be my last, I had heard such great things about her Elder series that when this proof passed my way I was eager to give her a go. 

This story has one of my all time favourite plot twists connected souls and reincarnation, I'm such a sucker for a good romance spanning the centuries. Our two main protagonists Micheal and Mary along with 6 others are from an ancient alien civilisation of what I would describe as higher beings of light that almost predate our history, arriving on Earth after a self imposed exile to hunt down one of their own - the first of their race to break the bonds of a mated pair and seek to destroy for enjoyment. These poor souls have endured throughout the centuries to pit themselves against the 'Deceiver' in the hope of putting an end to his attempts at world domination, all the while knowing they can never return home. This ongoing war is about to have an epic final smack down and I cant wait for the next installment in the saga!
