Title: A Certain Wolfish CharmPublisher: Sourcebooks
About the book: He gets crankier and crankier as the moon gets full. . .
The rules of Society can be beastly -- especially when you're a werewolf and it's that irritating time of the month. Simon Westfield, the Duke of Blackmoor, is rich, powerful, and sinfully handsome, and has spent his entire life creating scandal and mayhem. It doesn't help his wolfish temper at all that Miss Lily Rutledge seems not the least bit afraid of him, and in fact, may be as untamable as he is. . .
A woman whose charm is stronger than the moon. . .
When Lily's beloved nephew's behavior becomes inexplicably wild, she turns to Simon, the boy's cousin and guardian, for help. But Simon's idea of assistance is far different than hers, and Lily finds herself ensconced in his house and engaged to the rogue.
My thoughts: I am loving myself some werewolves! To heck with all the vampires (Sorry Edward), but I am getting a kick out of these werewolf stories. Simon is lovable even when he is trying to be all mean - we get to read his thoughts from the beginning, so we know that he is attracted to Lily, but is just trying to keep her on the darkside of the moon (haha) and keep her safe. That is why he doesn't feel he should marry her - even though she is all he can think about! Lily thinks he is just toying with her (you know - like a dog with a bone? - Ok, I'll stop with the puns) and feels that he has been coerced into marrying her so that her reputation will not be sullied. If she could only see what he was thinking! I love this couple - throw in some werewolf brothers, a werewolf nephew and some well-meaning neighbors and you have the beginning of what I feel will be a great series.
If you missed my interview with the authors that comprise Lydia Dare - see it here. There is also a giveaway going on there.
