Description from the publisher:

A psychic detective.  An alpha werewolf.  A forbidden love that could tear the pack apart.

Detective Macey Carpenter has been on the trail of a vicious attacker for weeks, with nothing more than a vague description of a red-eyed man to go on.  Finding love is the least of her worries, but she can't deny her attraction to a mysterious man who knows more about the case than he should.

Before Luke Mason can become alpha of the Crescent City Wolf Pack, he has to end the French Quarter’s demon infestation and keep the police from discovering the truth.  But when he falls head over tail for the feisty human detective investigating the crimes, supernatural secrets aren’t the only things at stake.

Luke has to mate with another werewolf or he’ll sacrifice his position as alpha.  But as heat builds between the pair, he discovers Macey has a few secrets of her own.  And even though she may hold the key to ridding New Orleans of its demons, his feelings for her could tear his pack apart. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



WEREWOLVES ONLY is the first book in the Crescent City Wolf Pack series.  Each is a stand-alone romance featuring a couple in the Crescent City Wolf Pack in New Orleans.



Luke is everything I want in a man.  He is strong, alpha, caring, decisive, protective, and a bit of a butt.  (Why does anyone want someone who is perfect?  Perfect people are egotistical and self-centered.  I like a flaw.)  Too often, things have to be spelled out in little words for him to get the big picture on the important things for his girl (men can be dense in the romance field), but his heart is always in the right place.



Macey is emotionally damaged, but intelligent and gifted.  She has guarded her heart for so long, she doesn’t know if or when to drop the shields.  It was a little maddening at times and I wanted to shake her, but remember Luke was being a butt (see previous paragraph!).  As often happens, communication is the big lesson these two need to learn – we all need to learn – to grow as a couple.



I recently read A DEAL WITH DEATH and loved it.  So, I was thrilled to be able to grab WEREWOLVES ONLY as a short-term Amazon free offer and read the beginning of this series.  I was not disappointed.  WEREWOLVES ONLY is a page-turner that kept me glued to my kindle.  It is well written and wonderfully layered.  The characters are beautiful and beautifully flawed.  There is passion, compassion, good and evil, family, romance, friends, and community.  This is a world, though imperfect, is one that I would want to call home.
