Big Bad Wolf (The Others, No. 8) [Mass Market Paperback]

Christine Warren (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 29, 2009

Missy Roper’s fantasies have revolved around Graham Winters since the moment they met. But the imposing leader of the Silverback werewolf clan always seemed oblivious to Missy’s existence. At least he was, until Missy collides with him at a party and then abruptly runs away—arousing Graham’s interest…and wild desires.

Lupine law decrees that every Alpha must have a mate, and all Graham’s instincts tell him that the sensual, beguiling Missy is his. Trouble is, Missy is human—every delectable inch of her. Convincing his clan that she’s his destined mate, and keeping her safe from his enemies, will be the biggest challenge Graham has ever faced. And now that he is determined to have her—as his lover and as his mate—Missy’s world is changing in ways she never imagined…

4.0 out of 5 stars This is actually Book #2 in the Series..., January 12, 2010

This review is from: Big Bad Wolf (The Others, No. 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

I prefer to read a series in order, and I didn't realize that I wasn't until the "Big Bad Wolf"

According to her web site, there are 4 books that in this series that haven't been published (they were written through Ellora's Cave and could have been downloaded, but they are no longer available).

The actual reading order of these books are:

1. One Bite with a Stranger (Regina & Dmitri... the first of the Fantasy Fix's)

2. Big Bad Wolf (Missy & Graham)

3. not yet published (Danice & Mac)

4. not yet published (Corinne & Luc)

5. not yet published (Tess & Rafe)

6. not yet published (Logan & Honor)

7. Wolf at the Door (Sullivan & Cassidy)

8. She's No Faerie Princess (Fiona & Tobias)

9. The Demon you Know (Abby & Rule)

10. Howl at the Moon (Noah & Samantha)

11. Walk on the Wild Side (Kitty & Marcus)

12. You're So Vein (Ava & Vladimir)

13. Born to be Wild (Eli & Josie)

According to the web site, these books can be read alone or in order, but after reading You're So Vein, where Missy & Graham are already together and then starting Big Bad Wolf, where Missy & Graham get together, was a little confusing at first.

I think I would have given this series a 5 star if it wasn't for that confusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fur Factor!!!!!, October 4, 2009

By 

cmoonlight "moonlight charm" (nc) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Bad Wolf (The Others, No. 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the Christine Warren that I LOVE!!! This was the story of Alpha of Silverback Werewolf Clan Graham Winters and his wife Missy. Graham is such a playboy that he has started getting bored with sex. That is until he gets to know Missy, who is far from a sex kitten. This plain, quiet, kindergarten teacher has been fantasizing about Graham since his vampire friend married her friend Reggie. Until now, Graham has paid no attention to Missy until she dresses up for her Fantasy Fix. Now that he has noticed her (smelled her), she will not be able to get away from him. Missy has a lot to deal with. She has a hard time believing that a guy like Graham could actually want her. She also has to figure out what being Luna involves. This was a great story. It was originally published as Fur Factor at Ellora's Cave.

This review is from: Big Bad Wolf (The Others, No. 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

I had originally read this book in it's e-book format that was offered by Ellora's Cave and titled "Fur Factor". I loved it so much then, and with the addition of new material I love it now even more. I'm thrilled to have it in both formats.

Poor Graham Winters... he is the young attractive Alpha of the Silverback Werewolf Clan and is bored, bored, bored with the Otherworld women he has to choose from. He is tired of the gorgeous Vamp women and their games, the other Werewolf women, Demons, Fae and all the rest. BUT he has never had a "human" woman before. It is one of his hang-ups actually!

Meet Missy, a totally human woman who happens to be a kindergarten teacher and ALSO just happens to have a flaming crush on Graham ever since they met when they were paired off for a wedding.

Now they are both at the same party---poor Missy is there to meet a "Fantasy Fix" blind date and is more than reluctant to meet him; but through a series of extremely funny circumstances she ends up going home with Graham to have one night of ecstasy! But something happens during the night; something that smells of vanilla and sugar and has sent Graham reeling. Has he found his mate? In a human woman?

Find out by picking up this wonderfully funny, steamy novel, you won't regret it. As a matter of fact, if this is the first book of Christine Warren's you buy, I'll bet it won't be the last. While not all of the books in the series as as good as this one, they all a worth the read and your book budget cash! They do not need to be read in order, and they all are wonderful as "stand alone novels". They will be books that become "keepers" and you'll more than likely find yourselof waiting for the next book in the series.
