Kate Douglas (Author)

Book Description

Series: Wolf Tales | Publication Date: July 1, 2009

In the shadows they transform into beasts possessed of boundless sexual energy, with the strength and stamina to indulge every primal urge. Now, six new Chanku have appeared - bold, brash, and very much in need of their elders' wisdom. It is decided to split the young pack: three will travel to Montana to learn from Anton Cheval, and three to Colorado to be mentored by Ulrich Mason and his mate, Millie...Having weathered a series of vicious attacks, the Montana pack welcomes the distraction of breaking in the novices. But everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious stranger whose connection to Millie will bring the she-wolf, her partner, and their proteges - including Matt, the sensitive alpha Millie has brought to his sexual peak - to Montana. The time has come for Millie to confront her past, even as the young Chanku prepare for a future of power, pride, and pure pleasure.

More About the Author

I've been married for almost forty years to a terrific man who puts up with the idiosyncrasies of life with a writer. We raised two really great kids who are now wonderful adults with terrific spouses--and they've produced six grandchildren for us. ALL perfect, of course!

I currently write for two Kensington imprints with my long-running Aphrodisia erotic romance series Wolf Tales (which includes the Sexy Beast anthologies I-VIII) and the new erotic Dream Catchers series, as well as The DemonSlayers series from Kensington Zebra and coming in 2013, a new series called Spirit Wild. This one will follow the lives of the second generation of Chanku shapeshifters, beginning with Lily Cheval's story in TO LOVE A DARK WOLF.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great story in one of my favorite series!, July 1, 2009

This review is from: Wolf Tales VIII (Paperback)

Many of my favorite characters are highlighted in this story as the Chanku bring in the new members in from San Francisco. Logan, Jazzy and Decon go to Anton's and Beth, Nick and Matt go to the Wolf Sanctuary.

Anton is still dealing with doubts after what happened in the last book. Keisha, Stefan and Xandi are there to help him figure it out and it's great to see how the new members fit in. Adam and Logan share healing info and Deacon is healing. But someone is watching...

There's a great mystery here - I'm not giving it away - and we get to catch up with many members of the pack.

Wolf Tales VIII is another wonderful installment in Kate Douglas's fabulous series!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Ravenous Reader", August 2, 2009

By 

AvidReader_FL - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wolf Tales VIII (Paperback)

It wasn't a massive page turner but I liked it. The strong engaging plot comprised of intense character conflicts I've come to enjoy from this series were absent in this installment. Centered around the premise that two men are better than one, Deacon and Matt's, the two Beta wolves of the pack, story took the backseat while reiterated spotlighted events from previous installments rode shotgun! With the exception of most of the San Francisco pack, most of the characters were revisited along with a summary of their previous experiences that consumed most of the pages. The redundancy was this ravenous reader's buzz kill!!! P.S. Sexually explicit: ménage, m/m, f/m, D&S was some good stuff, that at least was not a disappointment!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars fresh spellbound thriller, July 1, 2009

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Wolf Tales VIII (Paperback)

The Chanku packs have grown by six newcomers who need mentoring. Three are sent to learn at Anton's Montana estate; the others journey to the Colorado wolf sanctuary owned by Ulrich and Millie.

All six have come from the mean streets and thus they are tough and ready to kick butt; that is when they are not licking butt. The old-timers at both sites look forward to some sex, respite and sex after surviving some nasty assaults (see WOLF TALES VII), but also understand the importance of mentoring the arrogant rookies using bravado to hide their fears. However, a mysterious newcomer arrives in Colorado shaking the balance and forcing Millie to finally look back at her past.

Following the climatic action of book VII, Kate Douglas proves she is a wizard as she provides a fresh spellbound thriller by bringing in the next generation. The story line is fast-paced and filled with sexual encounters of a werewolf kind. Fans of the saga will appreciate Ms. Douglas' new spin as somehow she makes each of her seemingly ever expanding cast seem different yet as a paranormal species appear real.
