THEY CAN’T EVEN BE IN THE SAME ROOM TOGETHER………………………

Ever since their failed elopement years ago, Prisca Hawthorne has taunted, insulted, and in every way tried to push him away. If only her heart didn’t break every time Lord William Westfield left……………….

BUT STAYING APART IS EVEN WORSE……………………..

Lord William throws himself into drinking, gambling, and debauchery and pretends not to care about Prisca at all. But when he returns to fid a rival werewolf vying for her, he’ll stop at nothing to claim the woman who should have been his all along.

Can Prisca forgive the unforgivable, or are the moon-crossed lovers going to be forced into a battle of will that could be fatal?

My thoughts:

WOW!! This is the book that most readers have waited for since the first book in the Westfield series and I have to say that it did not disappoint. You could feel the attention and attraction between Will and Prisca since day one. Not only are the lovable Westfield brothers and their wives featured we also get introduced to Prisca’s brothers. And although they may be human lets just say they are a bit wolfish at times. I loved the way they concocted a way to rid themselves of their sister. They also seem to be master manipulators by playing the newly introduced Dashiel Thorpe against Will. It makes for some hilarious moments.

This was a great novel that I will enjoy rereading. I have to say that I loved the way that Prisca kept Will close to her heart.

Readers will also see a few subplots emerge some are dealt with by the end of this novel and some conclude in The Taming of the Wolf, although I would like see a book that features Alice Westfield, and the Major. I also would love for Lydia Dare to put out a follow up book, maybe a Christmas type theme or whatnot that shows what happened after the I do’s.
