Shawntelle Madison is known as the author of the Coveted series, which is a PNR/UF based around Werewolves and other such mythic creatures. In Bitten by Deceit, she dives back into the Werewolf genre but this novella is not based in the same world as her Coveted series. This is more your classic Werewolf PNR tale. The thing about Shawntelle is she writes Werewolves, very very well and that is why I am such a fan of hers because I love me some shapeshifts.Anywho, as you can tell from the blurb, the novella's heroine is Emma Parker. She and our hero Kyle Benton have a history but when Kyle is ousted from their pack, Emma and Kyle go their separate ways. Kyle has never forgiven Emma for choosing the pack over him and Emma has never really gotten over her decision to remain behind but like any good PNR tale, she had her reasons. Now their evil alpha, Liam, who's bitten her and injected her with his rabies-like infection has decided that he wants to kill Kyle and wants Emma to become his alpha female.So enough spoilage, this novella is definitely action packed from the git-go. It's a fabulous PNR packed into an itty-bitty package with the requisite sexiness to go with it. So if you love action, romance, twists and turns, I'd highly recommend you give this novella a try. Just as an FYI, you'll be able to read this novella in a few short hours. I think I finished it in about 2 or so. Great read for doctors offices, waiting rooms, anywhere you have a couple hours and want a whole adventure packed into a few short pages.
