Romancing the Wolf
By Terry Spear
Wolves don’t need
to be romanced. Did you know that? They don’t need to be wined and dined and
given Valentine’s Day cards, or taken on honeymoons, or…
At least that’s
what Meara says when Finn tells her he’s not a romantic kind of guy. But you
see, there’s romance and there’s ROMANCE.
Which would you
prefer? A man who takes you out dancing and out to dinners, but when he wrecks
the car and breaks your ankle, he leaves you sitting in the hospital waiting to
see a doctor, alone, because…he felt so badly about it? True story, my mother’s
when she was in her twenties and the guy was her fiancé. End of relationship.
What would happen if after they married, she got pregnant, she wondered. He’d
run off after dumping her at the hospital because he felt so badly that he
caused it and she was in pain again?
So definitely, there’s
got to be more to a relationship then just the dating scene. The guy can’t run
off and leave the heroine at the first sign of danger.
Shooting starts,
Finn tackles Meara to the floor, loses his towel, and his naked body is pressed
against her clothed one. Meets criteria of protecting heroine?
Check.
He has to be
willing to take risks for the heroine. They’re being tailed, he’s thinking her
clothing is bugged, he gives her much more than a once over…searching for the
bugs, and she’s thinking he’d better find one or else. Wolfishly heroic?
Check.
She’s hungry, he
fixes her a steak on the grill, moonlit night on the beach, but it doesn’t stop
there…he makes her s’mores, because she has a love for all that chocolaty
marshmallowy graham cracker delight, and he loves to see her enjoy them. It’s
not about him and what he’d love, but about her and what she’d love. Sitting in
a crowded restaurant isn’t half as romantic as this getaway with him, while
danger lurks everywhere. Romantic?
Check.
Wolves are
territorial. It doesn’t matter if some other wolf might be trying to help Finn
out with protecting Meara. There are wolf rules that need to be honored. You
don’t break into a safe house and fix yourself a cup of coffee, but it’s more
than that. It’s the fact that Bjornolf (pronounced Bee-your-nulf), might be
scoping out your she-wolf, and that’s not going to be allowed. Bjornolf doesn’t
even know what hit him, Finn’s so fast to react and set the rules. Some wolves
are too stubborn to take a hint though. Protective?
Check.
Finn had arrived to
protect both Hunter and Meara from the threat to the SEAL team after having
contacted the other members of their team. But Meara’s the only one who’s on
her own, and fearing she’ll be targeted to get to her brother, Finn is
determined to see her safe. Even though he’s way over qualified for a
wolf-sitting job. Loyal?
Check.
Bedtime can be a
whole ‘nother experience. Things are getting way too hot between Meara and
Finn, when they both know this isn’t a good idea, so she opts to sleep on the
couch. He doesn’t want her that far away when he’s supposed to be protecting
her. She places pillows between them. There’s not enough room for him on the
bed. The pillows go on the floor. Decisive when decisions are important?
Check.
Okay, so alpha
wolves are hot and live by different rules in our society, but who wouldn’t
want to be romanced by a SEAL like Finn??? Sure, you might not get a
Valentine’s Day card, and he might balk about a honeymoon, but the showers you
share can make up for it all… SEALs LOVE the water.
Hope you enjoyed a
romp with a SEAL-wolf, who, by his own admission, doesn’t have a romantic bone
in his body, but his actions tell a whole different story.
Yum.

Meara Greymere is in charge of the cabin rentals on the rugged Oregon coastline, so her brother and his mate could take a delayed honeymoon. But while Hunter is away, the she-wolf intends to play—she just has to convince the right alpha male to rent one of the cabins, and she’ll take it from there. But when Finn Emerson arrives with every intention of pretending to be her lover, she's not going to take this lying down. She knows he'll tell her brother what she's up to and put an end to her game.
Finn Emerson is an ex-Navy SEAL, formerly one of Hunter Greymere’s team members, and now he's trying to track down a gray wolf, who's already made an attempt on one of their team member's lives. Finn believes Hunter will be targeted next, only to discover Hunter is off with his mate on a honeymoon, and he fears Hunter’s sister is in grave danger. But the former SEAL soon learns protecting the unpredictable sexy she-wolf is a mission and a half and protecting her isn’t all he wants to do.
