Review: Idea had promise but story is lacking.

I was looking forward to reading this. I love werewolf romances, but I just didn't feel that this was very well written.Samantha seems to have a perfect life: great apartment, great job, engaged to the man of her dreams. That is until she caught him with another woman. She then quits her job and decides she needs to move far away from her fiance, David. She ends up going to live with her grandfather in a cabin out in the wilderness. It's here that she meets Michael.I'm finding it hard to describe the story further because I feel that if I do, I'll basically be telling you the whole thing in an abbreviated form. There just wasn't much going on. I felt that there wasn't enough narration or enough description at times. And for some reason, if it wasn't for the fact that Samantha had been engaged at the beginning of the book, I would have thought she was a teenager. She just didn't feel like an adult to me.And, the book description states: "After a tragic event, Samantha and Michael are forced to flee for their lives. But who is following them - and why?" That is a very good question, one that is never answered. Sure, as the reader, you pretty much know what's going on. Unless I'm completely off-base, I feel that I know what Michael is hiding from Samantha, but the book ends without him ever telling her anything, though he promised he would, and without any resolution to the story at all. Now, I don't know whether this is supposed to be book one is a serious or not, but I was very disappointed with it.I stated that this story had promise in the title of my review, well, it did. I don't want to say too much on what exactly I mean, but with regard to werewolf packs, I found what I thought the story was working up to to be rather interesting. But as I mentioned, there was no conclusion. It honestly just leaves you hanging.
