Undressing History at History Undressed!
Research is a lot of fun, though sometimes I get so wrapped up in it that I keep reading more and more and more, not any of which I will use in a story. However, sometimes some of the the intriguing information does wind up in the story.
But some of it, I wanted to share in this blog with everyone!
Political Intrigue during the Medieval Period...
I am giving away a copy of Winning the Highlander's Heart. It has the old cover with the knight... but it's the same book otherwise. :)
And this just in! Thanks so much to Rhonda Valverde of Vampire Romance Books who loves my wolves too! :)
Review: Dreaming of the Wolf [image error] Dreaming of the Wolf (12/01/11) 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 if you haven't read any of the other books in the series. I loved the pairing of Jake with Alicia. Jake being the alpha male and Alicia being a strong independent woman made for some great banter between the two. Ms. Spear's writing has tremendous detail, depicting realistic thoughts and emotions, bringing the spirit of the wolf alive. Dreaming of the Wolf is a must-have addition to any Terry Spear fan's bookshelf. Well done, Terry; your wolves never cease to thrill me.
Jake Silver is visiting Breckenridge to drop off some of his photography to a local art studio when he spots a woman acting suspiciously across the street. The wolf and man in him is intrigued and goes on the hunt. Though his kind (wolves) doesn't normally interfere with human problems he can't help but come to the rescue of the beautiful Alicia Greiston from a couple mob goons. Unaware of the danger Jake placed himself in, Alicia takes it upon herself to keep Jake safe by disappearing. If she's gone, the mob won't go after Jake to hurt her. One night together should have been an easy thing for Jake to get over. Since Alicia is human it's not like he could have a long relationship with her. But when Alicia starts coming to him in his dreams every single night, he knows something isn't right. His family has a history of dreaming of their intended mate, but Alicia isn't a wolf. So what is it about this woman that is drawing him to her? ~~Rhonda Valverde
I have to report a great review of Seduced by the Wolf at Where the Wolves Read! I love the title of her blog!!! And the wolfies heading it up! And Seduced got 5 Howls! Yes!
Summary: Fascinating aspects of real-life wolf behavior based on extensive research on how wolves live in the wild make Terry Spear's werewolf paranormal series stand out and attract a growing audience. The fifth in the series features heroine Cassie Roux, a biologist who has studied wolves for years, trying to prove to the world they're not evil predators. A red lupus garou (werewolf), who lost her pack and was raised by real wolves, she has dedicated her life to their preservation. Leidolf Wildhaven is a red lupus garou pack leader who has more troubles than he ever thought possible, what with running a pack, a ranch, and other businesses. When Cassie—a rare red female— is spotted in his territory, Leidolf figures he's found the answer to his pack's threatened extinction. Only the headstrong woman has other priorities…
Review: I flipping loved this book. I wasn't sure how I would feel about Leidolf's book because I wasn't sure if I really liked his character or not. He was an absolute delight to read. He wasn't too bad as far as alphas go, and let's talk about Cassie for a minute. She was such fun to read. I loved her attitude and the way she handled Leidolf was hilarious. I was actually surprised that I didn't get bored with the beginning of the story because it's Cassie trying to run from Leidolf, but I thought it was done very well and it wasn't dull at all. I thought some of the minor characters were great fun to read about as well. I'm wondering if some of Leidolf's pack mates will get their own books soon. Or, at the very least, be mentioned in later books so we can see how well they are going along with some of their relationships. This might be my new favorite, but I still have to read the rest of the books so that could very well change. ~~Kim

Okay, it is Friday, TGIF! I have a million things to do, like ship off some books to folks if I can after work, work (where we are going to be REALLY short handed today), and get the newsletter ready for tomorrow. Are you all ready to see more about the TEXAS STUD?
Also, I bought some print copies of THE DARK FAE (YA) that are being shipped to me as we speak, and I am looking for reviewers....so if anyone knows of anyone who would like a copy to review....just send me an email! :)
Plus, I received some more copies of the ARC of Dreaming of the Wolf if anyone is up to reviewing it. :)
Happy TGIF!!!
