"Animal Heart (Beast and Beauty)" is a paranormal romance/erotica novel that also weaves in themes of belonging, friendship, and the baser instincts within. Aden Carr, the alpha wolf, runs a vacation ranch as a convenient base to take care of his werewolf pack.  Most nights, they can change shape and enjoy the thrill of the hunt--though three nights a month they lose control and become true animals, bent on evil.Aden deals daily with the rivalries of the pack, with most of them pressuring him to choose a mate--but it's not until Maddy arrives to spend some time riding and getting in touch with nature that he meets a woman he wants to be true to. Maddy feels the same lustful pull to Aden, but will she be able to handle his secret?"Animal Heart" is a good blend of interesting, appealing characters and suspenseful plot. Aden is the perfect lead for an erotica novel--he's sexy, strong, and willing to be tamed by the right woman. He finds his match in Maddy, who is just as sexy and vibrant but no shrinking violet. Mia's longing for Aden and Lucas's crush on Maddy also add some romantic tension. At the same time, the Sheriff's targeting of the Carr ranch ups the ante on whether or not Aden and Maddy can find a happily-ever-after. The book is also rich with detail, making the wilderness setting and hunt scenes come alive (not to mention the sensual scenes between Maddy and Aden). Recommended to readers who enjoy paranormal erotica that's well developed and as much about the plot and the characters as it is about the love scenes.
