Vicki Lewis Thompson (Author)

Book Description

Release date: April 3, 2012 | Series: Wild About You Novel (Book 3)

The last thing Colin McDowell wants is to inherit his Aunt Geraldine's mansion in the San Juan islands off the coast of Washington. As the pack leader of the Trevelyans in Scotland, he had little time to travel halfway around the world to take care of his inheritance.

But the trip takes a pleasant turn when he meets Luna Reynaud, the young secretary his aunt hired shortly before she died. He isn't sure which surprises him more-Luna's clever plan for turning the mansion into a resort of the fact that she's drop-dead gorgeous. Both intrigue him-until he learns that Luna is only a half-breed. There's no way a pack leader can mate with a woman who's partly human...or is there?

3.0 out of 5 stars Another good read in the series July 28, 2012

By Jetches

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Well when you throw in a good Irish accent and make the man a werewolf I think my heart thumps a little faster. I am a werewolf girl. I've come to realize and accept this and the third book in the series introduces us to two weres falling in love with each other, but Colin is a little bit prejudice and Luna has been hiding her entire life. So they make for a different couple. At first it didn't seem that Colin was really into Luna, but of course his true colours show later on. And for a girl like Luna, who has been hiding all her life, she sure knows how to loosen up. I loved the characters. Thompson is very good at creating strong independent women, but for some reason they always take a step on the dependent side near the end. They always change their lives for the men in them. Sometimes this upsets me, but sometimes its seems to fit the characters and circumstances. Although the ending was a little bit awkward, and the bad guy in this story didn't feel so "bad" more "sad" I still enjoyed the characters and the story. I will be definitely keeping up with this series.
Good:
Luna: Independent, organized, cherishes what she has, and isn't fooling herself with what may be, instead she sticks to her guns and making it all happen.
Colin: Irish Brogue who happens to he a werewolf? Yes, please. Add a sentimental side to him and you have yourself a winner.
Bad:
The plot was a little weak. I expected a "badder" bad guy. The ending of the story was also awkward, but considering I kept asking myself how they were going to do it in the end it seems to fit things well enough.
Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):
Awkward in some placed, but good overall.... The story lines was will plotted and the characters all had their own personalities making each character one whom you would remember. The writing was well-done although I will admit that sometimes I did have to re-read things to make sure I was understanding them correctly.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 Stars. A lighter shifter romance with a fun supportive cast April 9, 2012

By Stephanie G

Format:Kindle Edition

Colin MacDowell, alpha of a powerful Scotland clan, loved his aunt Geraldine but isn't happy she left him her mansion and island off the coast of Washington in her will. Arriving at the island brings back fond memories from his youth and after meeting his aunt's beautiful assistant Luna, Colin starts to think inheriting the island isn't so bad after all. After years of being alone, half were-half human Luna Reynaud finally found a home with Geraldine. Not wanting to leave her safe haven, Luna comes up with a profitable ideal of making it a exclusive shifter retreat. As she works to convince him her ideal is worth a shot, Luna finds herself becoming more and more attracted to the irresistible Colin but his belief that only pure blooded weres should mate may keep them apart.

Though Colin and Luna are nothing that I haven't already come across in this genre, I still thought they made a cute couple. Luna is an attractive, intelligent woman who lost her parents at a young age and didn't find out what she was until she hit puberty. She'd prefer to get by in life without anyone noticing her. Colin is handsome and smart and from a influential shifter pack. He's against human/were matings because of the threat of exposure. From the moment Colin arrives, a relationship starts to form but is threatened when Colin reveals his feelings on matings. Seemingly okay with the understanding there could never be anything serious between them, Colin helps Luna explore all the sexual wonders that comes with being a werewolf and it's not long before they become more emotionally involved than they wanted to be. Their relationship was predictable but I enjoyed watching them come out of their comfort zones to create a hot yet sweet relationship....

From a pair of sassy housekeepers to a sweetheart of a pilot, this book has a great supporting cast that was there to help Luna and provide some laughs. My favorite supporting characters are ones we never actually meet. Geraldine and Henry didn't care that their packs didn't approve of their mating. They created their own life and memories on their island and Henry even built a mansion for Geraldine. Their story is very romantic and I loved when others would tell stories about Geraldine because they told of a woman who did things her way and never apologized for it. If the author ever decides to write a novella for these two, I'd definitely buy it.

Werewolf in Seattle is mainly about Colin and Luna overcoming obstacles, which mostly included themselves, to be with one another. There is a side story that starts developing in the second half of the book that brings in a relative that Luna wasn't aware she had and the serious problems he could create for her. I liked that this was included because it added a bit of suspense and dove a bit more into the lives of Luna's parents. Werewolf in Seattle had a cute, albeit predictable, romance with a hero and heroine you can't help but cheer for. This can be read as a standalone book or you can go back and enjoy this series from the beginning. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars leader of the pack September 2, 2012

By Paul Jutras

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

There was a couple of slow chapters in this book but the majority of it was fantastic. Half breed were wolf Luna Likebe Reynaud has return to her dad's pack home town where she encounter the Scottish alpha of her dreams Colin Macdowell. The majority of crisis found in this book deals with Luna keeping the fact her mother was human a secret in hope of being more accepted into the pack who feels sorry for her dealing with her first shifts alone since her parents died. Colin spends the book trying to convince Luna why they should only have a business relationship trying to turn the manor into an inn while also trying to talk her into revealing herself to her grandparents in town. Problems come up with Uncle George and the reason he drove her mother way from the pack in the first place.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Surprise to Me June 22, 2012

By L. Rigod

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Normally, this isn't my choice of reading material. That being said, I was ill and laying in bed, and was thoroughly entertained by this rather racy, to me, novel. It was a true love story of a half human/Werewolf (Were) and a full-blooded Were who had just inherited his Aunt's property, a lovely hidden island in Washington's famous San Juan Islands.

Although the romance scenes were explicit and sometimes a bit much for this old gal, I wasn't offended and they truly did answer questions (I hesitantly admit to,) that I had pop up about love between the two.

The story was strong and creative. The romance was true and steady. I truly liked this book and may actually (I'm fairly sure,) will buy the next one out and may have to go and see what the older books have to say....

Have I found a guilty pleasure? Well, don't leave me alone...read it too (keep the kiddies away though.)
