I have no idea how Terry Spear keeps her werewolf stories fresh and exciting, but she does book after book and she does it well. Her characters are always strong, and she’s true to those characters whether in their human or wolf form. Details, big or small, are never redundant from story to story, nor are the storylines. Each featured couple receives their own unique tale, including a mystery designed just for them. This series has been consistently one of the best, never letting me down from th

Though Dreaming of the Wolf is the eighth book in Terry Spear’s werewolf series, the romance between Jake and Alicia does stand on its own, introducing those of us who haven’t read the previous books to the world as Alicia finds herself drawn deeper in, and we are able to latch on to the comforting familiarity of sexual tension and desire to keep us grounded. The relationship between our hero and heroine progresses physically with surprising rapidity however, and despite our ability to recognize

This book has EVERYTHING!!!
No joke, there are Mob bosses, murders, wolves, and best of all LOVE. We start out meeting Alicia Greiston who had had the misfortunate of getting herself wrapped up in a crime spree; as a bounty hunter she’s been given a case that is more personal than professional. She’s hunting her mother’s killers, which given her track record, should have been easy, except they’re on to her, and they want her as bad as she wants them!

“The Heart of the Wolf” is the eighth book in an ongoing werewolf saga by Terry Spear. The good news is it can be read completely as a stand-alone. The various pack and family members make an appearance but you don’t have to know them to understand what’s going on. So, good for you if you’ve read previous books and have a particular fondness for some of the heroes, and good for you if you haven’t. The bad news is, well…

Dreaming of the Wolf is the 8th book in Terry Spear’s Wolf Series and I find myself running out of words to describe just how fantastic these books are; Dreaming of the Wolf is no exception. From the first few pages, it was non-stop action. This book is a little different than the others in that the majority of the story takes place away from the pack. This book can be read as a stand-alone and while some of my favorite characters from the other books do show up, you won’t be lost in the story i

However, I think the tides are turning and I am team werewolf. How could you not be? I have yet to read a story about a werewolf that is some wimpy little cowardly pup. No way. They are these big hulking alpha male men, ready to defend and protect their women and their pack at all costs. *swoon*

Given the hungry appetites of paranormal readers for werewolves, I decided to jump into the action with Terry Spear's DREAMING OF THE WOLF. Spear delivers a determined heroine to whom I can relate in her effort to bring a mob to justice. Add a hunky hero whose protection leads to passion. The final result is an action packed, suspense filled story that satisfied me. I emphasize that I have little knowledge of the werewolf genre yet Spear brought me into the pack with her page turning plot

The further the series moves along, the more the books change. I like it, but they are getting different.
This book is more of a romantic suspence with less focus on werewolves, but I also love those kind of books, so it was a great crossover! It was not as PNR as all of the other books in this series.
I was also very glad that I didn't have to wait for the end 3/4 th of the book to finally have the characters get together... It was really very quick! I was less frustrated More...

First of all I haven't read the previous books in this series, but with the exception of a few unclear details, it did not present a problem. One of the things I love about a series is the intertwining characters that move from book to book, and this novel lived up to that. We meet the brothers of Jake and many of the werewolves from their town.
