Romy Sarika has spent much of her life suffering at the hands of a sadistic cult leader. Twenty years earlier she watched him kill her mother, and now she awaits the same fate. But when the self-proclaimed prophet orders Romy killed, the wolf part of her rises up and for the first time she shifts. Managing to save herself, she leaves death and chaos in her wake.

Alone in the woods and badly injured, Romy is found by Jace Wolf and Gabe Cheval, two powerful and striking Chanku who help her heal and simultaneously unleash sensual desires in her that are as new and intense as her wolf-like abilities. But just as Romy’s opening herself to this new erotic world and the passionate connections she’s forming with both men, danger is closing in.

Bent on revenge and driven by bloodlust, cult members are pursuing the trio. Discovery could mean not just Romy’s death but destruction of the Chanku way of life. With their lives at stake and the Chanku race in jeopardy, the three must fight to save themselves and the future of their proud race.

My Review:

The second book in the Spirit Wild series is an intriguing and erotic romance that captures the heart.

Spending much of her life suffering at the hands of a sadistic cult leader, Romy Sarika’s wolf rises up for the first time when the self-proclaimed prophet orders her death. She manages to save herself, leaving death and chaos in her wake.  When Romy is found by Jace Wolf and Gabe Cheval, two striking and powerful Chanku, they help her heal and unleash sensual desires that are as new and intense as her wolf-like abilities.  But danger is closing in cult members bent on revenge and destruction with not only their lives at stake but the Chanku way of life.

This steady to fast paced plot keeps the reader on their edge of their seat with lots of suspense, action and romance.  The author describes every scene with vivid imagery and detail that capture the imagination and keep the readers thoroughly engaged from beginning to end. The strong compelling characters enchant the reader with their charismatic personalities and make it easy for the reader to understand their motivations.

The attraction between Jace and Romy explodes from the pages while the chemistry between Gabe and her is more a simmering passion.  The frequent sex scenes are scorching hot with oral sex, anal sex, male/male and male/female/male scenes that leave the reader sizzling with passion.  The author brings the characters to vibrant life with well written words and an intensity that grabs the reader’s attention and leaves them wanting to know more. Romy, completely captures the heart with her strong and courageous personality that shines from the pages, the reader can’t help but love the remarkable young woman/wolf.

I have always been mesmerized by the Chanku world and it just keeps getting better.  I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

About Kate Douglas:

(Off Goodreads:)

Some people just seem to know they are meant to write, but it can still take a while to figure out exactly what their career will entail. Kate Douglas started out writing radio copy for a country western radio station in 1972, wrote and illustrated an educational cartoon strip for the American Mosquito Control Association for a number of years, was a newspaper reporter for a small town weekly where she covered everything from high school sports to drug busts, and then, in the mid-1980s, decided to write her first romance. 

Many submissions and rejections followed.

In 1998, she published with a small ebook publisher before anyone knew what an ebook was, but it wasn't until 2005, a full twenty years after finishing that first romance, that she signed with a New York publisher.

In January 2006, Kensington Publishing launched their Aphrodisia imprint of erotic romance with Kate's Wolf Tales, a sexy paranormal series about a lost race of shapeshifters. Kate has continued on as the imprint's lead author, with twenty-one novels and novellas in the full Wolf Tales series. She also has a series with Kensington's Zebra imprint, DemonSlayers, and has just completed her latest Aphrodisia series, Dream Catchers, which opened with the NightShift anthology and her novella, Dream Catcher, followed by the novels Dream Bound and Dream Unchained.

Her next series, Spirit Wild, debuts April 30, 2013 with Dark Wolf. This is a spin-off series that takes place in the Chanku world readers first met in Wolf Tales. Characters are the grown children of the first Chanku.

Kate and her husband of over forty years have two adult children and six grandchildren. They live in the small town of Healdsburg, California, in the heart of the beautiful Sonoma County wine country.
