Book Description:

Paige Donovan is an ambitious college graduate who aspires to reach the top of the corporate ladder. She’s climbing fast when given the promotion of a lifetime at a prestigious fashion magazine in New York City. Her bright future comes to an unexpected halt after news of her father’s death. She inherits his old cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and just when she thinks her luck couldn’t get any worse, she has a car accident in the mountains and awakens in the small, remote community of Black River.

Soon, she’s engulfed in the mystical world of Varulv---wolves descended from 13th century Scandinavia and blessed by Norse gods with the ability to appear human. Paige is desperate to return home, but never expects to fall for her rescuer, Riley Gray, a charming young werewolf from England who offers her an alternate future with his pack.

Now, she must choose between the career she’s always wanted and the love she’s always dreamed.

My Take:

Hmmmm

I'm kinda at a loss for words. While i did fully enjoy this book there was a lot that I didn't.

I like the originality of the shifter werewolf thing going on in this book, end I like the different route of this romance book but I can't say I was fully a fan of the main character Paige. There were even a couple of moments where I didn't even like Riley. Walt they worked well together and made for really nice storybook romance, they both had this naivety to them the made it difficult for me to like them on their own.

I also wasn't a fan of all the predictability that took place in the story but I did enjoy the refreshing themes. The whole take on this story's werewolves is a pretty cool one and not something I can honestly say I have ever heard of or read in another book.

4 Quills

I think the positives, outnumber the negatives so I definitely recommend this book to somebody who enjoys shifter romances. And while I did have some problems with the story and the flow, I was more interested in seeing how the story played out.
