Werewolf Love Story (Vampire Love Story Prequel #1)"Werewolf Love Story" is the Prequel to the series "Vampire Love Stories," which begins with the aptly-named "Vampire Love Story." I'm really glad I read "Vampire Love Story" first, both because it is background for the rest of the series, and because the protagonist, Josiah Reign, is to me a more appealing character than his best friend/roommate Tommy, who is the narrator/protagonist of "Werewolf Love Story." "Werewolf" actually takes place at an earlier time than "Vampire," because it has to explain Tommy's situation.Tommy (no, not Thomas!) graduated college in Theater Arts, and was a champion wrestler; so after graduation, he turned to a career in Mixed Martial Arts. Now fighting his way toward a championship, he is elated to be scheduled with a well-known contender at Los Angeles' famed Staples Center, home of the Lakers. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks earlier, he met a girl in a bar, took her home, and had a quite enjoyable time-until the next morning when he discovers she has a boyfriend even bigger than Tommy, and is a consummate liar. The night before the fight at the Staples Center, Tommy is trying to get a good night's sleep until he is bombarded by panic calls from this same girl, Sasha, who insists she needs a ride because she's stranded. Well, along with lying about her boyfriend, she possesses some other even more important secrets; and one of those causes Tommy to get into a fight protecting her against three guys, in which he is seriously bitten, requiring 45 stitches. Afterwards, Sasha confesses one of her big secrets-but of course, Tommy doesn't believe this good-looking chick is actually a werewolf.
