Little did Dr. Melanie Harding know when she took over the veterinarian clinic in rural Maryland that the citizens took the werewolf legends to heart. She knew how serious when her first emergency was to remove a silver bullet from an ordinary dog. The dog's owner hunky Major Drew Connell, a member of the Alpha Force, was stationed close to the clinic. The attraction between them is immediate, but Drew tries to keep his distance since not the entire werewolf tales are false.

The closer Melanie comes to the truth and to Drew, the closer to danger she is. She isn't the only one in danger. Someone with a personal agenda has it out for Drew as well and it might not be who you think.

I love Linda's pet sitter series, but this one didn't quite live up to those. I liked the concept, but it just felt forced. Like the story was assigned to her rather than one she really wanted to spin for the reader. I recommend her other books highly, but skip this one.

The book was ok, it just was a bit tame for me. I have read several breed series and to be honest, this book seems to be like a beginner's book. I just felt a bit disappointed with the book. On the whole it was ok. Maybe someone who has not read any other breed series would enjoy it more.
