Review: Nice paranormalish debut romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

A debut book from this author and it's got some great stuff going.  In a way it's kind of a paranormal without being paranormal.  The world is actually pretty much an everyday kind of world, if you call Alaska normal.  Then there is Flynn, Connor and Owen and their father Rupert. The boys are struggling with their inner wolf like so many young men, only this is REALLY an inner wolf that can be an outer wolf.I liked the premise of the wolves coming out at will or when emotions are out of control, rather than the traditional Full Moon thing, though apparently the moon does influence their 'Change'.  It wasn't fully explained but it is part of a series so I imagine more of those details will come into play.  It has shades of the way the wolf pack in Twilight operates but I wouldn't consider it derivative.  These wolves aren't as nice for a start.The romance between Evie and Flynn was cute even if a little abrupt on Evie's part. The insta-lust on her part and the wolfy scent attraction on his was acceptable but I was a little surprised at how quickly Evie fell for him considering her past history of an abusive controlling boyfriend. I expected a little more conflict their because of the alpha-ish behaviour of Flynn's wolf side. All the same it was very sweet and Flynn was a real puppy-dog when love hit.Over all I enjoyed reading this book.  The secondary characters, Connor and Evie's friend Dana look all set to be Book 2 in the series and it looks very promising.  It was a little uneven in places but very readable and kept me interested right until the end.
