Timber was raised in a series of foster homes, with no family of her own, and never knew another shape-shifter. When an anonymous invitation from her biological family arrives out of the blue, she jumps at the chance to finally learn of her heritage and strange abilities and to find a real home.

Arriving at Wolverton Manor looking for a family, Timber quickly learns that the one person who seemed to want her there died, having issued the invitation from his deathbed! Fighting for not only a family, but now her very life, she races to uncover the terrible secrets the late Wolverton patriarch worked so hard to bury.

Kane was raised in the Wolverton pack, with a loathing of half-breeds. When he meets Timber, everything he thinks he knows and believes is turned on its ear. Finding himself inexplicably drawn to the half-breed, Timber, Kane fights to protect her from his own family while everything he thought he knew shatters around him.

Will the menace that threatens the Wolverton half-breeds destroy them all?

I had no idea it was possible to have so many sexy scenes in one book and still have a plot - especially a good one - but Brenda Williamson has done exactly that! The characters are absolutely captivating, and I can tell you I blushed a few times while reading this one. Having purchased two of Williamson's books at once, I immediately launched into the other book upon finishing Wolverton Blood!

Williamson creates a suspenseful romance rife with secrets and danger that threaten the Wolverton clan. From the start, Williamson sucks the reader into her world with plenty of action and adventure. Timber runs into adversity at each step from the get-go, tuning the reader into how her life as an isolated shape-shifter must have been. With words, Williamson easily engenders empathetic feelings in the reader for the main characters.

While there are an abundance of spicy scenes, their placement in the story make sense. Of course, with a shape-shifter story, the writer is afforded much leeway in this area, due to the primal nature of the shape-shifter.

This was an exciting, fun read, with several twists in the plot to excite the reader. If a sequel is released for Wolverton Blood, I won't hesitate to purchase it.

This will never be one of my favorite books. The "heroine" (if you can even call her that) is constantly abused by everyone she meets and yet sticks around for absolutely no apparent reason. The "hero" is an abusive conceited jerk that mistreats the heroine at every turn because his family feels she is not worthy of being in their presence. Reading this book was a complete waste of time.

I read the negative reviews on this book, but purchased it anyway and found myself slightly disappointed. I did enjoy the book somewhat, but I will probably not go back and read it again. The main female character Timber really did not have a backbone and Kane the main male character was a total jerk with the way he treated her. I kept putting the book down when it started to get on my nerves and then pick it up later on to continue reading to see if it would get better. The book is not a total disappointment, but I would not recommend purchasing it if your local library carries it since it is not a book worth reading more than once.

Timber Wolverton has been summoned to a town that bears her name and to a family she never knew she had. Timber is special and she hopes that this is finally the place that she truly belongs.

Kane Wolverton enjoys being in control; he controls his family, his Grandfather's misfits, and everything that he comes in contact with. Kane and his family are special, just like Timber, and he will not let anyone or anything ruin his family - especially the people his Grandfather has called to Wolverton.

Timber has high hopes for what she will find in Wolverton, but her visit is not off to a very good start. She gets attacked by a man from the bus she came into town on, and then she almost gets run over by a sexy but overbearing man. Kane cannot resist the beauty that he almost runs over, but when he finds out that she is one of his Grandfather's projects, he sees her as a "half-breed". Kane tries to resist her and is not successful; instead he feels an overwhelming urge to claim her as his. Kane and Timber find themselves right in the middle of chaos after Kane's Grandfather's will is read. The stipulations of the will are shocking and put a haze over all the emotions that Timber and Kane are feeling. To complicate matters further, the "half-breeds" are being killed and things just keep getting more and more out of control. Will Kane and Timber be able to put their differences aside to explore the feelings they have and will that be enough?

Wolverton Blood was an excellent read!! Timber is a strong, sexy woman who just wants to find somewhere to call home and be accepted for who she is...differences and all. Kane is all Alpha-male and he has a hard time dealing with the feelings that Timber inspires in him. I positively enjoyed watching these two circle each other and come to grips with their volatile relationship. Brenda Williamson knows how to write with incredible emotion and her love scenes are hot, hot and hot!! Wolverton Blood is definitely going on my keeper shelf!!

This book was amazing. I love how the author describes the characters and the scenes. I wish it had had a little bit more of a drama scenario. I hope the author writes a sequel

I thought that this would be an interesting story about werewolves and how they cope with their condition and of course how they found their mates. What I wasn't expecting was all the sex. It's basically a good story, but I thought that there should have been more to the story then Timber and Kane getting hot and heavy all the time.
I would have liked to have learned more about the others that were part of the experiment. Instead they were all killed off before we could really learn anything about them or how they had coped with their animal natures. The only ones left were Timber and those malformed. Was Brenda planning on having a second book to go along with Wolverton Blood? If so it will be interesting to see what she comes up with since there are no more like Tmber alive to tell about.
In all good consciousness I could not fully recommend this book for it's over all story, but the love scenes really get your attention. They were really HHHOOOTTT.

I love a good werewolf/shifter story. Unfortunately this was a terrible offering in the genre. Poor characterisation, and poorly written. The main characters have sex within minutes of meeting even though the male character treats the female character Timber really badly as soon as they meet. The characters names alone, smacks of the author's poor writing skills. I have made a note of the authors name so I can avoid her work in the future. I can't imagine why any publishers would print this rubbish.

I read the first chapter of this book and tossed it into my trade-in pile. If this pitiful excuse for a novel can get published, I have no worries about mine making its way past a publisher when the time comes.

Ms. Williamson fails miserably in character development. Her quirky writing style is dissatisfying at best and her underdeveloped scenes miss the mark she sets for herself. Unless you're a speed reader, reading this book isn't worth your time. A pity really, because Ms. Williamson could have done so much with this very promising premise and its characters.
