I was surprised by the religious undertones, hidden pasts and the eventual downfall of these three characters. To say I was shocked is an understatement. While this story does have paranormal elements, they take a major backseat to the whole plot. Seduced by a Wolf is so full of secrets that I was constantly surprised. Ms. Wynn kept me wondering the whole time. She wove a fascinating tale with these three people that had me reluctant to put the book down.Seduced by a Wolf is not a particularly long book, but Ms. Wynn does an exceptional job with the time that she is allotted. The back story was well placed and perfect in detail and duration. I will say I was absolutely dazed with the main event that changed everything. I was floored by its occurrence and it had me wiggling in my seat. I experienced moments of anger, elation, and even distress while reading this book. The story is unexpectedly action-packed and does have some detailed violent scenes. While this story is considered erotic, there are minimal love scenes. Ms. Wynn definitely went for quality not quantity.If this book is any indication of Ms. Wynn's writing ability, she will have a new fan. She mesmerized me with her ability to write an interracial love story without race being a factor. Truly an outstanding achievement since race should never be a factor when you love someone. Seduced by a Wolf is a sensual treat, with unbelievably shocking moments and tantalizing revelations. I enjoyed this page-turner from start to finish!Originally posted at LAS Erotic Romance Reviews
