A Howl for a Highlander (Heart of the Wolf)
Spear has dedicated her newest werewolf romance to “those who love men in kilts,” and though it is set in Grand Cayman rather than Scotland, she certainly doesn’t disappoint her audience. Surly Highland werewolf warrior Duncan MacNeill is less than thrilled about his trip to the tropics. After a thief stole his wolf clan’s fortune, he’s been tasked with hunting down the villain and preventing the financial ruin of his ancient family. While leaving the airport, Duncan catches the scent of an unmated female wolf, who immediately complicates his mission. American botanist and werewolf Shelley Campbell came to study the plant life, but when it turns out her university funding has been pirated by the same fiend who robbed Duncan, she finds herself fixated on helping the hunky male wolf instead. When the thief displays a romantic interest in Shelley, Duncan must calculate a plan to stalk his prey without endangering the woman he hopes will become his mate. Spear will satisfy longtime fans and newcomers alike with her vivid descriptions and deliciously gnarled plot. --Amber Peckham
