And one of my favorite werewolves isn't in a romance novel, but is in a romantic relationship. Constable Angua the werewolf in Terry Pratchett's "Guards" Discworld series is romantically involved with Corporal Carrot, and their relationship is a delight. If you haven't read Pratchett, start with "Guards! Guards!" and follow the tales of the Night Watch from there.



You might want to look into Lori Handeland's Night Creature series although than involve those that hunt werewolves.

Rebecca York's books (The Moon Series) are entertaining (although the latest one was a little disappointing). Start with Killing Moon.


Also, not really romance but also excellent (and I think the guy and the girl end up together) is Robert McCammon's The Wolf's Hour. It take place during WWII and the main character is an Allied spy against th Nazis. It is fast paced and fun and one review on Amazon likened it to James Bond meets Indiana Jones, which is an excellent description. But the guy is also a werewolf! so there you go!

And if you like shapeshifters in general Nalini Singh starts a great series with Slave to Sensation.
Happy Hunting!!

And Donna Boyd has written two novels that explore what happens when the loup-garou fall in love with humans. The books are sort of a merger between historical epic and romance, with a bit of horror thrown in. The first book is The Passion and the second is The Promise. I really liked them.
My current favorites though are the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs. The last one, Iron-Kissed, blew my socks off and what happened at the end made me tear up. Can't wait for the next one.
Oh, and I almost forgot about Keri Arthur's books, which bring together werewolves and vampires in Australia. The Riley Jenson Guardian series begins with Full Moon Rising. Her series does something really fascinating with the werewolf nightclubs sometimes frequented by Riley.

I love Patricia Briggs, Rachel Vincent, and Kelly Armstrong. Very good reads!




A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole is very good (plus the rest of the series)
Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon
There are also the Wolf Breeds books by Lora Leigh: Elizabeth's Wolf, A Wolf's Embrace, Wolf's Hope, Jacob's Faith, Aiden's Charity (Note: The Breeds do not actually shift shape, but they do have wolf DNA and senses.)
Nalini Singh's Psy/Changling series has shape shifters

Rather narrows my margins.
I REALLY enjoyed Christine Warren's the OTHER series-Which begins with The wolf at the door.
LORA LEIGH'S THE BREEDS series will always be my favorite -and I believe Mercury's War is being released in Sept CAN'T WAIT.
Nalini Singh (shapeshifter) is another really good series which She has a new release soon.
I really enjoyed susanne Sizemore's Primal books also -- she has a new primal book due out in oct I believe I saw on her web site.
I'm always looking for more authors also but it seems if you don't want to go to erotica you can't find any.


Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs,
Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs,
Howling at the Mood by Karen MacInerney,
Riley Jenson Guardian series by Keri Arthur, although sometimes it get's close to erotica.
Night Life by Caitlin Kittredge. Although that one's set in like a alternate city, so if you don't like that type of thing, you probably won't like that one.
I've hard a hard time finding werewolf books I really like. I usually settle for werewolf/vamp books where they fight or team up.





about
Riley Jenson Guardian series by Keri Arthur, although sometimes it get's close to erotica. isn't this a recurrent character--and 1st person--seems I picked it up and said nope for that very reason....but I am a pretty sale. SORRY--just old enough to know what I like ang don't in most everything-I guess that makes me a woman LOL.

It's a pun, of course. *LOL* "Dog Walk," "Doggy Style," there's another in the series that's related but not hot, just sensual, called "Puppy Dog Eyes." *LOL* So you can sense the theme, I suppose? *LOL* I'm going to write a few more too, titles in the same vein. *LOL* They're shifter wolves, but aren't all guys just big puppies? *LOL*

i have read and loved the wyndam werewolf story. The elevator scene was hot/naughty

well, so far, its still going on. And Terry has announced that he has a rare for of Alzeheimers, so not sure how many more books he will be writing. I have 2 whole shelves devoted just to Terry. I LOVE Captain Carrot, MR Vimes, Nobby, and all the others. (btw, for Terry fans, they made a cartoon of Wierd Sisters, and a live action of Hogfather)

on the Wyndham werewolves front--Davidson has another collection of short stories (well, 4 stories in it) all set in the Betsy/Wyndham universe. And Antonia (the psychic were/human hybrid) in Derik's Bane moves to Betsy's home and appears in a couple of her stories.

Did anyone mention the Nina Bangs books? I actually started reading Nina's works because of a quote that someone who had a review list set up on Amazon gave for her book "A Taste of Darkness" For those interested the quote was:
Werewolves--furry pains in the butt. Were cats--sneaky whisker-twitching manipulators. Reinn hated them all. But most of all, he hated his job. Guardian of the Blood. What a crock.
I decided that any book with that passage in it HAD to be worth reading. In this series Nina has--were wolves, were-cats, were-bunnies, were-ducks, vamps (of all different sorts) harpies, gods, goddesses, humans, creatures that she made up out of her own warped imagination and urban legends that really exist in the stories. :o)
The books are all humourous (as I'm sure you gathered by that quote) but I've enjoyed all of them so far.
