Plot:During a mission in South America, the Marines lead by Sergeant Cole (Mac) MacIntyre are infected by "something". Escaping from the government trying to study them, trying to get a handle on the furry changes, they commandeer Sylvie's boat, her fertility and her future.Comments:- Contemporary paranormal (wolf shifters) with military men and explicit menage sex.- 3604 kindle locations, 80,000 words, 187 pages. Note it finishes around 3000 kindle locations.- Published August 2009.- m/f, m/f/m - multiple partners, some questionable consent. No m/m. Aiming for a multiple person commitment with Cole as Alpha (primary) "husband".- The first three chapters of Montague's "Breeding Ground" are included at the end of the book.- Sylvie is in her mid 30's. The men are in their early 20's. The age difference is A Big Thing for Sylvie, and affects her belief of herself and view of the budding relationship.Opinion:An interesting, different, difficult book with a surprisingly rapid ending and a woman suffering from Stockholm Syndrome with men who don't know how to share information. "Wolf" has a really good premise, and an intriguing exploration of how the rapid change into wolf, commitment to Pack, and innate knowledge of the Wolf's needs, ride the men as they struggle to cope. Unfortunately I spent most of the book feeling very sorry for Sylvie; no one told her what was happening, the "orgy" and it's aftermath made it hard for me to *like* the men, and the sudden conclusion came both as a shock and as a disappointment. "Wolf" left me wanting more.-CR-
