Plot:
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.
Review:
I enjoy a good fantasy love story (or paranormal romance as this one is described by the author) and this one definitely fits the bill. I enjoyed the author”s twist on werewolf lore and the inclusion of Norse gods (a new one for me — I’m used to stories about Judeo-Christian, Roman, and Greek gods). I think that Bostic did a great job with character development, pulling you into the story, and getting you to care about the characters. As for the romance part — let’s just say that this one is definitely not for the kiddos. It had me blushing! Lol. I’m not much of one for steamy sex scenes, but if that is your thing…get ready for it! All in all an enjoyable read.
