Krista Lakes and a werewolf romance? Instant one click! I've enjoyed this author's Kisses series and was eager to find out what she could do in different territory. When I finished this book, I wasn't just pleasantly surprised - I was blown away.Wolf Six's Salvation is part military romance, part paranormal fantasy, and brutally intense at times. The suspense begins with two wolves on a prowl, a hero who carries an animal's name and soul, plus a heroine who's desperately seeking her missing brother. Captain Wolfe is a handsome hero who's been hardened in all the right places, but he also carries the unsettling and realistic wounds of modern war.His time battling insurgents in Afghanistan has left his heart vulnerable beneath a dangerous and powerful exterior. The shifter, the man, is soon plunged into a deeper mystery as he seeks to help Chloe find her brother. And like any good love story, dear Chloe quickly finds another man to love and heal, but it's a constant, beautiful battle to soothe Wolfe's damaged heart.This novel is one of those rare romances with action scenes just as awesome as the love. The sweet scenes between Wolfe and Chloe later evolve into scorching liaisons that kept me clenching my Kindle in wicked anticipation. Lakes also adds a remarkably realistic edge to Wolfe's war flashbacks and his looming battles. I felt like I was right there in dingy bunkers and God forsaken deserts, fighting to save life, limb, liberty, and all of shifter kind.It's a wondrous thing to watch a veteran writer branch out and bloom in new places. Right now, this is Krista Lakes' moment, and she gets five starry bravos from me! Hope this isn't the last awesome shifter book from her keen mind.
