The wolf is kept in the background where it belongs, not made into a cute pet, not taking over scenes. It serves a function, true, but the function is strictly supporting cast and not would-be lead. And finally, I have to give kudos to Harper's cover art department. The cover of Wild Indigo is beautiful, totally in keeping with the story. One of the best I've seen all year.
Romance needs more like it.
Historical romance lovers, Judith Stanton is a strong new voice. Don't miss this unusual and captivating story. And if you like Wild Indigo as much as I think you will, be on the lookout for the sequel next year.
