"A sexy romp on the wild side...Mack does an excellent job. A page turner."

Product Description
Kyril. Marko. Semyon. Brothers like no other, sworn to lead the Pack of St. James and defend the English crown, though the blood of Russian wolves runs in their veins. In 1815, every woman in London has heard of their legendary passion for seduction--but no one knows of the supernatural powers that raise them far above the ranks of mortal men.

Dangerous Lover

In pursuit of a priceless treasure stolen from his homeland, Kyril commands the Pack to gather in secret. A rash act by one woman--one extraordinary woman, the sensual and utterly alluring Vivienne Sheridan--has put their ancient clan in peril. He vows to find her--and find out her every secret--before it is too late...

Hidden in a ruined mansion, concealed by the shadows of a moonlit night, Vivienne comes forth, drawn to Kyril by a mysterious magic she is unable to resist. In his powerful embrace, Vivienne senses the wild nature beneath his gentlemanly façade--and she surrenders to his intimate touch. Whatever he wants, she will give...with all the passion of a woman mesmerized...

3.0 out of 5 stars Wanted it to be better, April 14, 2008

By	A. Reece "Reader" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It definately had it's moments although I found it annoying that it seemed over stuffed with exposition. I appreciate a good story along with romantic, erotic scenes but I found this story slow moving with out any flow and very little of the right information including getting to know these brothers and what exactly their gifts are. I felt the book could have been helped with another editing pass and perhaps more sex!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cossacks and Wolves, April 25, 2008

By	Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Kyril is the eldest of three brothers of the Taruskin clan, Russians who have now settled into the life of gentlemen in Regency London. His attention has been caught by Vivienne Sheridan, a woman whose relationship with a duke has just ended and who is now living on her own. Kyril knows that there are a group of Russians who have travelled to London to kill him and his Pack and yet his attention is still taken by Vivienne, despite knowing that she may be used to lure him to his death. Can Vivienne come to understand Kyril's story and can she love him despite the danger that surrounds him?

In some ways this was a reasonable story but it also had some quite deep flaws for this reader. The story of Kyril and Vivienne had partly taken place before the opening scenes of this book so it felt as if the reader were dropped into the middle of their interactions without any clear idea of how their feelings for each other had developed. In fact character development seemed overall to be lacking in the story. There were the sex scenes one would imagine in a Brava novel but it didn't seem as if the characters had really connected on any level other than the physical. It wasn't clear what it was about Vivienne that had so arrested Kyril and caused him to change his previous rakish ways.

The story focused more in the second half on the threat to the Pack but it seemed to meander around the plot with various events taking place without full explanation and often feeling rather pointless. The 'baddie' didn't actually have much of a part to play, the hero's cousin was featured quite heavily but with many unexplained events going on and overall I found that I couldn't feel really engaged with the story or any of the characters. The wolf aspect to this book was pretty minor and another paranormal aspect fairly early on in the book was never explained. Instead the story was more of a part-romance part-thriller book of varying levels of success and, for this reader, not well enough put together to encourage me to read further books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, April 8, 2008

By	Elizabethann (Small town Missouri) - See all my reviews

This was my first book by this author, and it was amazing! The characters were very well drawn, and you really felt their emotions. There was just enough mystery involved to keep it interesting, and the plot was great!
