Review: The Pack or the Panther (Tales of the Harker Pack #1) by Tara Lain

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Cole Harker, son of an alpha werewolf, is bigger and more powerful than most wolves, tongue-tied in groups, and gay. For twenty-four years, he’s lived to please his family and pack—even letting them promise him in marriage to female werewolf Analiese to secure a pack alliance and help save them from a powerful gangster who wants their land. Then Cole meets Analiese’s half-brother, panther shifter Paris Marketo, and for the first time, Cole wants something for himself.

When Analiese runs off to marry a human, Cole finally has a chance with Paris, but the solitary cat rejects him, the pack, and everything it represents. Then Cole discovers the gangster wants Paris too and won’t rest until he has him. What started as a land dispute turns into World War Wolf! But the bigger fight is the battle between cats and dogs.

My Review:

To save the pack, Cole Harker is promised to marry Analiese which will secure an alliance in this riveting m/m shifter romance.  This fascinating story has lots of excitement with a wolf war, wolf-knapping and some surprising twists to keep the reader on their toes and I must say that I couldn’t put the story down until I had read the very last word.  As I have already had the pleasure of reading the second one, I can’t wait to get my hands on the third one which is due out in early 2015.

# 3 The Wolf That Came Back (Early, 2015)

About Tara Lain:

Tara Lain, like so many novelists, wrote her first book at five. Writing ability got her through college when there wasn’t enough time in the day, and, shortly thereafter, it became a marketable skill. Very early in life, people started paying her to write — scripts for industrial films, brochures, magazine articles on semiconductors. She became a really successful non-fiction “ghost-writer”.

When you’re being paid well to write non-fiction, it’s tough to spend time writing fiction that nobody pays you for for a long time. But then Tara found EROM (erotic romance). Always a lover of fantasy, she got hooked on the beauty, emotion, and happily-ever-after of these books (to say nothing of the great sex) and was finally inspired to write one of her own. But writing fiction is different than non-fiction. There was so much to learn, and after writing her first book she went back to school (via online workshops) and got down to learning the craft. A year later, she had rewritten that book, and created another one, and a very supportive publisher said yes! Today, she’s an established writer of romance fiction with over 20 books to her credit.

Married to her soul mate, a wonderful man who surprises her every day, and living with her honey and her soul dog in Laguna Beach, CA., Tara continues to love semiconductors and software and medical devices — all with a little touch of romance.
