Alaura’s life amongst humans has been a bust.  Sure she’s human herself but after being abused and left for dead by her husband she’s lost all faith in mankind.  Fortunately she was found and saved from certain death by Shaw’s wolf pack.  For months she’s traveled with the pack while accepting Shaw’s unwavering support – emotionally and physically.  Aside from the occasional kiss Alaura and Shaw have never acted on their attraction but huddled in a shallow cave sharing body heat proves to be more temptation than either of them can resist.Shaw’s pack has been homeless for many years but now thanks to the Blood Wars it looks like they might soon have a place to call home.  In exchange for helping the new Were queen and Were king fight the Okantalor Vamps they’ll be able to settle in Paqualette.  For Weres the trip isn’t too bad but an early snowstorm has made the trek miserable for Alaura.  She’s freezing and while Shaw does his best to keep her warm, he fears his own body heat might not be enough so he invites his pack mate Hagan to sleep with them – and that’s all he intended… until she utters the words “Shaw, would you make love to me?”Shaw’s convinced that Alaura’s been through enough and doesn’t need him pawing at her and expecting sexual favors, but she’s spent months falling in love with him and his honorable behavior.  What she doesn’t realize is that all that warmth she feels on her naked body isn’t radiating just from Shaw, but by the time she becomes aware of Hagan’s presence she’s too overwhelmed with desire to care.  While it’s common for Weres to make love in groups it’s obvious that Shaw is extremely possessive of Alaura, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to curtail her complete satisfaction, even if it means permitting Hagan to take certain liberties with her body.Lia Slater makes naughty nooners positively delightful with her short story WERE FEVER.  The abuse Alaura suffered at the hands of her husband makes her acceptance and love for Shaw so very satisfying and sweet.  As an Alpha you’d expect Shaw to be forceful and controlling but with her he displays a vulnerability that’s endearing and makes the reader just a little envious.  WERE FEVER is a quick read but it has all the elements you’d expect in a full length story and leaves you satisfied but there’s still that desire to know more about the characters and their plight.WERE FEVER is the fourth story in Lia Slater’s WERE LEGENDS series.  Don’t worry if you haven’t read the other titles, this story can easily stand alone, though you might want to pick up the other titles as well.  I confess I’m very curious about the rest of the stories in this series.WERE SLAVEWERE SEDUCTIONWERE BLOODChrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)
