I WAS Going to Work, but...
Note that it is a vampire day here in Texas...cold, misty, foggy, wet and perfect for the wolves to stay inside today!
I had already taken leave to be off today and I still am trying to finish up the final guest blogs (3 nearly done, 1 more after that), will decorate and clean some more, and figured this is going to be another Christmas gift to me! LOLI needed it! I'm still working like crazy, but it's less stressful if I'm not at work worrying about having to get all this done before Christmas in just a short time.
I'm talking about Life without Fantasy at All things Urban Fantasy for another giveaway. I loved Abigail's introduction: Terry is here celebrating the release of DREAMING OF THE WOLF (available now from Sourcebooks Casablanca), the eight book in her Heart of the Wolf paranormal romance series about alpha werewolves and the women who tame them.

The Ancient Fae is Up at B&N now! & Some Cute Pictures to Share!
The first is of Lucifer--from Down Under! He's adorable and reminds me of a black cat I once owned and adored! He adopted my black standard poodle as his mother.
Thanks to Lisa for sharing her cat who is one of Santa's elves! Merry Christmas to Lisa from Australia!
I don't think Lucifer looks too happy here! :)
And here's one funny looking little bad-hair day black squirrel, sent to us by Donna from Minnesota! Some of us rarely see snow where we live, so this is always a treat to me! But these pictures are precious too!
Here is our squirrel, as we get to adopt him too! But Donna, he/she needs a name!
And here are some great reviews for Dreaming of the Wolf!
Julie Witt rated it [image error]
Shelves: netgalley, reviewed I received an ecopy of this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I have to admit that I haven't read any other books in the Heart of the Wolf series, but I've heard really good things about it, so when I saw this book listed on NetGalley I decided to give it a try. I can honestly say that I now see why everyone loves this series!! And the best part is that this book can definitely stand on its own! Even without knowing what happens in the previous books of the series, Terry Spear lets you know what's what without making you feel like you are being dumped information.
From Goodreads: "Werewolf pack leader Jake Silver is an acclaimed photographer. He sees a beautiful woman at the art gallery where his photos are on display, and his intrigue turns into wolfish protectiveness. Alicia Greiston has never met anyone like Jake-he's sexy, alpha, and totally irresistible, and he calls to something primal in her soul."
Jake Silver goes to drop of some photographs he took at an art gallery in Breckenridge, Colorado, and he's planning a quick in and out so he can get back to his home in Silver City, where his pack is located. But when he sees a very attractive woman surreptitiously taking photos of a car's license plate on the same street, he's curious (and interested) enough to follow her into a restaurant. It turns out she's a bounty hunter named Alicia Greiston and she's bound and determined to take down a couple of mob guys by herself, to keep a promise she made to herself when her mother was murdered by these same men. Jake, being the sexy, fierce, alpha werewolf that he is, decides to stay in town to protect her, even though they can have no future because she's a human and werewolves are not allowed to have more than passing sex with humans. Therein lies the problem and you will have to read the book to find out how it is resolved because I'm not giving it away!! No, I mean it - don't even ask!
I thoroughly enjoyed my first foray into Terry Spear's writing! The sex scenes were hot, hot, HOT - but that wasn't all there was to the book by any means. The story was one that drew you in, and you really cared about all of the characters. I can tell you this for sure - I am definitely going to go back to the very beginning of this series and read the first seven books because if they are anywhere as good as this one was, I know I'm going to fall in love with Silver City and its very interesting citizens!
In summary, I highly recommend this book for paranormal lovers and werewolf lovers alike!!
MoonGlitter rated it [image error] First of all I just have to say that this is my first Terry Spears book. I know, it's a bit strange that I would start with book #8 in a series. I am happy to say that these books do NOT need to be read in order :) They are great stand alone books!
Dreaming of the Wolf was a fantastic read!! Alicia Greiston is a bounty hunter who wants to make sure justice is served and her mothers murderers are put behind bars for good! While she realizes that she is dealing with members of the mob, she just doesn't realize just how far in over her head she is!
Jake Silver is a true alpha male werewolf! He has never been interested in finding himself tied down to a mate....until he spots Alicia. But she's a human and he realizes that the cards are stacked against him. Right away she intrigues him. He feels the need to know her business. He wants to protect her and keep her close.
The plot moved along at a great pace. I found myself up late at night and into the early morning hours devouring this book! The characters are interesting and easy to relate to. The romance is amazing and sensual. If you love werewolves, you are sure to love Dreaming of the Wolf! I will be reading more of Terry Spears books!! I highly recommend them!!
My rating: 5 stars!

Melissa rated it [image error] What an amazing and exciting read this was. I could not stop reading this eighth installment of Terry Spear's Werewolf series. The plot and the pace flowed so well. The action and suspenseful romance kept me turning pages. The characters were like old friends. Very realistic and likeable. You can easily find yourself wrapped up in them. I would completely recommend this book to any readers looking for a great read.

First off let me just say, look at that beautiful, sexy cover for "Dreaming of the Wolf". I love it!!!! You know to not ever judge a book by it's cover, but this one, I have to say is one reason I adore this book. It seems every book's cover for the Heart of the Wolf Series gets better and better. I have to say also, is the model on the cover fits Jake's description very perfectly and I'm jealous now of Alicia getting Jake in the book. She's one lucky Gal. If you have never read the Heart of the Wolf Series, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Terry Spear writes her wolf series, like they are actual wolves in the wild, not like the movie "The Wolfman." This is one main reason why I adore this series and I can't get enough of the Sexy Alpha Males she comes up with. Now in "Dreaming of the Wolf", we are going back to Silver Town to finally get Jake his Mate. I love Jake not only for his looks, but the Man is a Photographer. He loves taking photos of Wildflowers. I would love to meet a Man who adores taking photos of beautiful things like flowers. I love taking photos myself, and flowers have been my favorite thing to photography since I took of Photography in 2006. The minute I started reading about Jake, I fell head over heels for him. Jake is definitely a very over-protective Alpha Male too, which who wouldn't want this Man watching over them? He finds his perfect Mate while trying to put his photos in a Art Gallery. He comes across Alicia...well, he actually kind of stalks her. Although, I have to say again, she's one lucky gal to have such a sexy hunk stalk her. Jake doesn't realize he's about to meet Alicia who is in kind of bind with the Mob. She is a Bounty Hunter and she's trying to put her Mom's killers behind bars where they belong. She has no idea she's about to fall into the Supernatural world that she never thought could exist and she is also about to meet the One Man who will change her luck on Love and Marriage. Let's just say, that Alicia gets lucky even in the beginning of the book and I loved the Woods Scene. =) From beginning to end, I had a hard time putting down this book. I love how Terry Spear, always makes the story so interesting. This book took you into the world of Mobsters and what would happen if you threw in Werewolves in the mix. She also brings back old characters from previous books. I love getting a look at Lelandi's pregnancy more and having Darrien again. Yum!!! I also loved the ending the most. Who would thought, a Wedding would happen at Silver Town...but when I woman puts her mind into something, who can say No to Lovely Lelandi. "Dreaming of the Wolf" has become one of my FAVE books I've read in 2011 and I definitely look forward to the next book in the series coming out next year. The best part is I got a sneak peek of "A Seal in Wolf's Clothing" at the end of "Dreaming of the Wolf". I'm looking forward to reading about Meara and Finn Emerson. Thank you again, Terry Spear for my Alpha Male Fix again this year. I look forward to the next books in the series and again, you have a FAN for life!!! I recommend this to any reader out there that has an obsession with Sexy Alpha Males and Daring Heroines. You will definitely enjoy this book and all the other books in the Series.

Princess Ritasia misses the adventure of getting her brother and cousins out of trouble, but when the hawk fae king arrives to court her, she becomes involved in trouble nothing like she's ever faced before.
Princess Ritasia isn't anything like what he'd envision his queen would be like. Rough and tumble, unafraid of danger, and speaking her mind, the lady might just be the one for him.
The princess believes the king is a tyrant, at least at times. But she discovers he's not all that he seems, and she wants to learn even more.
The problem is that Ritasia stumbles across an ancient queen's magical artifact and nothing will ever be the same between her people, his, and what is dug up at the ancient fae dig site.

Although it's only 6:00 in the morning, so by noon, I'll probably change my mind! Have a super Sunday....oh, and I need to get the newsletter out! Lovely review from Sexy Women Read. That describes us all! :)Review: Dreaming of the Wolf by Terry Spear
A FIERCE HUNTER...Alicia Greiston is a no-nonsense bounty hunter determined to bring a ring of mobsters to justice. Her dogged pursuit of the crime family has forced her to avoid relationships— any man would only become a target for retribution. Luckily, Jake Silver is more than a man, and his instincts are telling him to stop at nothing to protect her.
AN ANIMAL PASSION...
However, the mob isn't entirely human either, and soon Alicia must flee for her life. When Alicia and Jake's passion begins to spill over into their dreams, Jake learns he will have to do more than defend her— he'll have to show his mate the way of the wolf. description taken from here.
I love every Terry Spear book I have read. Dreaming of the Wolf was wonderful, and if you like paranormal romances, then you should really enjoy this book.
Like all of Spear's books, Dreaming of the Wolf also has the great character development, plot and romances that we will always know come with her books. There were a few twists and turns and a sweet romance that starts at first sight.
Great book!
Until Next Time,
Happy Reading!
Happy Holidays!!!Terry

Okay, it's not snowing, but it feels like it could and I just wanted you all to know that I LOST track of time!!! Blog tour, working, writing and promoting, you know, the usual!Anyway, while I was working late at the library last night, I was looking at the schedule because a lot of folks were changing their hours and I realized, to my absolute horror, that we only have 2 weeks until Christmas!!!

Today, I'm at Fresh Fiction! Talking about recipes. Come by and share your favorite recipe! Donna, tell me how you made your Russian Friendship Tea! :) I want to share it with my family at Christmas. My daughter and I loved it and couldn't get enough when you sent us some last year! :)
And Mary of Bitten by Books gave Heart of the Highland Wolf a 5 star...well, headstones (Bitten by Books, you know!) rating! Woohoo! I couldn't have been more thrilled!
Julia Wildthorn is willing to do almost anything to get into Argent Castle, stronghold of the MacNeill clan, even hiding her identity and her career as a romance writer to masquerade as a personal assistant on a film crew. Getting into the castle proves more difficult that Julia had first imagined, especially since Laird Ian MacNeill is opposed to the film crew roaming about his property unsupervised, but she is determined to search the entire castle, if necessary, in order to locate the rosewood box that holds the key to her future.
Laird Ian MacNeill takes his responsibilities to his pack very seriously and is definitely regretting that he ever agreed to allow this madness of a film crew onto his property. Intent on protecting his clan and property from harm, he senses Julia's lupus garou heritage and becomes suspicious when he discovers her in his bedchamber after learning she had broken into the castle through the secret tunnels. As Ian and Julia grow closer, the tangled histories of their families become clearer, and Ian agrees to help Julia in her search for the rosewood box. Even with interference from the Sutherland clan and the unwelcome presence of the film crew, Ian is determined to claim Julia as his mate and defend her honor.
Julia and Ian's romance quickly developed, especially after Ian's aunt delved into the family histories and legends and discovered the two were fated to be together. I enjoyed Ian's alpha behavior and his protectiveness and liked that Julia was no longer a lone wolf after being absorbed into Ian's pack. I really appreciated that the author allowed the storyline to develop without hammering the reader with innumerable wolf references and side comments. This was an interesting story that easily captured my attention, and as always, I look forward to reading more about this lupus garou pack.

When Lisa woke up in the year 1870 she thought she was dreaming. As she started to explore and tried to find the place she'd had dinner last night, she discovered it wasn't there. She still couldn't believe it wasn't just a dream, but as things slowly started to fall into place she realized she needed some help. She really did go back in time!

A Ghost of a Chance at Love is romantic suspense at its best! This is only the second Terry Spear romance I've ever read, but I absolutely loved it! It's the most unusual time-travel romance I've had the pleasure of reading, filled with adventure, mystery, intrigue, and heartwarming romance. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll become involved in the story and how much is going on at any given moment. I adored the characters and you'll feel the romance right away. Even though it was against Jack's better judgment to get involved with Lisa, he fell for her right away and wanted to protect her, cherish her, and make her his wife. They just needed to get beyond a few complications. You're going to love the twists and turns this story takes and it will definitely instill the warm-and-fuzzy feelings any good romance will give you! I highly recommend A Ghost of a Chance at Love!

And Mary of Bitten by Books gave Heart of the Highland Wolf a 5 star...well, headstones (Bitten by Books, you know!) rating! Woohoo! I couldn't have been more thrilled!
Julia Wildthorn is willing to do almost anything to get into Argent Castle, stronghold of the MacNeill clan, even hiding her identity and her career as a romance writer to masquerade as a personal assistant on a film crew. Getting into the castle proves more difficult that Julia had first imagined, especially since Laird Ian MacNeill is opposed to the film crew roaming about his property unsupervised, but she is determined to search the entire castle, if necessary, in order to locate the rosewood box that holds the key to her future.Laird Ian MacNeill takes his responsibilities to his pack very seriously and is definitely regretting that he ever agreed to allow this madness of a film crew onto his property. Intent on protecting his clan and property from harm, he senses Julia's lupus garou heritage and becomes suspicious when he discovers her in his bedchamber after learning she had broken into the castle through the secret tunnels. As Ian and Julia grow closer, the tangled histories of their families become clearer, and Ian agrees to help Julia in her search for the rosewood box. Even with interference from the Sutherland clan and the unwelcome presence of the film crew, Ian is determined to claim Julia as his mate and defend her honor.
Julia and Ian's romance quickly developed, especially after Ian's aunt delved into the family histories and legends and discovered the two were fated to be together. I enjoyed Ian's alpha behavior and his protectiveness and liked that Julia was no longer a lone wolf after being absorbed into Ian's pack. I really appreciated that the author allowed the storyline to develop without hammering the reader with innumerable wolf references and side comments. This was an interesting story that easily captured my attention, and as always, I look forward to reading more about this lupus garou pack.

A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWReviewed by: Mandy
When Lisa woke up in the year 1870 she thought she was dreaming. As she started to explore and tried to find the place she'd had dinner last night, she discovered it wasn't there. She still couldn't believe it wasn't just a dream, but as things slowly started to fall into place she realized she needed some help. She really did go back in time! Lisa noticed a cowboy watching her and when he realized she needed help, he offered his assistance. If they'd only known what they'd be getting themselves into

Too Frozen to Write!
First, all of us wolves got wet! Now, it's almost as cold as Minnesota. At least for those of us living in Texas it is!
I'm at a couple of places today, though I truly am so cold this morning that I'm having a hard time concentrating, and I DO have the heat on! And a cashmere wool sweater on. The cold winds are blowing straight into the house. :)O
