"Kara's Wolves" is set in modern day, with werewolves living hidden among us. K-- is a gymnast, a young single lady who doesn't date much and is within a week of graduating from college. J-- and T-- are close friends, werewolves, who like to share women. J-- meets K-- in a bar and knows she is his mate; the strong attraction is mutual. There is the issue of "what about T--"; no great surprises there but a nicely developed plotline. K-- doesn't know anything about werewolves, and that is the 2nd shoe to drop.The novella is well written up until K-- finds out that J-- and T-- are werewolves (4 star, maybe even 5 star). After that, it is barely worth skimming (1-star). Wow. Rarely do you see such a plummet in quality. The writing, plot, and erotica all suffer. For exmaple, K--'s response to discovering her boyfriends are werewolves is incoherent and then inexplicably turns to acceptance. Then we shift to a really lame plot about another werewolf threatening the new threesome, where even the fights somehow comes across as boring instead of exciting. There is an equally lame scene with K--'s parents, followed by a bland and boring scene with J--'s family. Yawn.The book is heavily into erotica and ménage. The sex scenes are fabulous up until the introduction of anal intercourse, which occurs right when the writing quality plummets. That isn't really my thing, but setting that aside the earlier erotic scenes were much better written.I would try the author again, but I can't recommend this book.
