My take: Lindsey had my eye the moment I saw (well, read) him in The Pack or the Panther, which was Tara's first foray into the paranormal. You have to read the first to truly adore Lindsey, but, oh, man will you fall for Seth. Seth is a cop (the leather-wearing type of cop) and has a "type." This type definitely isn't the beautiful wolf wearing the designer clothes and with the flamboyant attitude. However, Seth's libido has, well, other ideas. When Lindsey's friend's daughter is kidnapped, Seth is brought on to help, and when the two meet, sparks (and fur) fly. : )What I loved about Lindsey was that he is all contradictions. On one hand, he embodies the gay stereotype and tends to utilize drama. Threaten those he loves, and his dominant alpha side rises to the surface and comes out, claws bared. Seth, though, is tall, dark, dominant and rides a motorcycle. His confession about his feelings for Lindsey just makes me adore him more. My only problem was that I felt this could have used another 50 pages to really pull out more of their romance and, of course, more of the pack dynamics.Bottom line: If you are a Tara fan (or new to her style) and like gay men with dual sides, cops with hot dominant personalities and a whole lot of romance and steam, check out Wolf in Gucci Loafers.Cardeno C and Mary Calmes' take: Take a strong half-werewolf and a stubborn human police officer, add in smoking sex and a fun cast of secondary characters, and then mix them together with an interesting mystery, and you get a very enjoyable read. Between the humor, the heat, and the romance, we couldn't put this book down.To see what Tara says about Mary Calmes and Cardeno C's Control head over to the HEA Blog!
