I downloaded EYE OF THE STORM by Monette Michaels which was a modern action suspense romance novel and enjoyed it so much that I went looking for more of her books and found this one.  While I have expanded my selections of reading material, my first love is Sci/Fi and this satisfied my craving.It is a fast paced Sci/Fi novel with both strong male & female Alpha characters with a lot of fights and battles.  Wulf was the ultimate Alpha male wanting to do nothing but protect his mate but having to come to term with the fact that with her experience & abilities, Melina was not going to stay on the sidelines.  While Melina is a kick-ass heroine and capable of taking down the bad guys she's not invincible and does have to deal with injuries.  Too many times in a novel, the stong Alpha female is shown overcoming the bad guys with only a few bruises to show for it.  In both novels that I have read so far by Monette Michaels, the Alpha females while able to deal with the bad guys are not invincible and are therefore more credible.The world building is fantastic and believable for a Sci/Fi novel.  As for Wulf growling - enjoyed it.  I like a growly Ultra Alpha male.The novel is more actions and a slow build up to the love scenes and I really enjoyed that part.  My problem with this novel is that I was very much wishing that this was just a start to a series and that there were other books because I really want to read more about Wulf's brothers finding their mates.  As of yet, I have not found any more in the series but I'm still looking.Update:  I found the author's web page and found that while this book appeared to be a start of a series that no more books have been published or are in the working stage.  This I found rather disappointing because at the end of this book the reader was set up for the next book regarding one of Wulf's brothers finding and dealing with his mate.  It makes me wonder whether the other book EYE OF THE STORM will suffer the same fate - a great start but no follow up.  This does not take away from the fact that I enjoyed both books but I did find it disappointing.
