DNF. Why oh why, couldn't I finish and like this novel? I tried to I really did, especially as it reminded me of Michele Hauf's (Werewolf novel with witch and kid ... fill in here) because of how Brick being a "horror film" version of the werewolf is similar to to Ms. Hauf's version. Therefore, I can definitely say it premise intrigued me. Yet, I got fed up with the pace of this novel and Kim's wishy-washy-ness. I mean I get that Kim was scared about werewolves and what she learned about their people. But did she need to go back and forth between so many extremes, like one moment she'd be all gung-ho about helping them, next she'd be a coward wanting her old life, and then she'd be all mad scientist wanting to find out more about them while possibly releasing her findings to the world.

Basically it all made me give up on it 44% of the way through. I can't say I recommend this novel but you may like it more then I did. 😉

I have been on a shifter kick lately so I was pretty excited to start reading TAMING HER WOLF. The cover looked interesting and the storyline sounded like something I would enjoy. Unfortunately I came across a few issues that made getting into the story hard and eventually made it fall flat for me.

I will start out with some things that helped me get to the end of the book. Kim and Brick had really great chemistry from the moment they meet and it only grows stronger as the book goes on. Kim has a mystery past that is hinted at a lot and I wanted to know what that was so I had to continue to read the story.

Now that things I didn't really care for and made it hard for me to want to read more. I didn't really love Kim as a character. I wasn't really connecting with her before this, but I didn't like the fact that she went against her word to Brick and could have possibly ruined the packs anonymity. She was selfish and thought only of herself and what she wanted. It really turned me off to her and made me not want to root for her. We eventually find out that the shifters in the Fire Creek Shifters series has more than the two forms we are used to having (which would be totally fine if this was explained in the beginning of the story, but it isn't). They have a third form which they call beast. I was completely and utterly confused by this because they talk about their wolf and beast quite a bit and didn't actually EXPLAIN that they were talking about two different forms. I felt like I was missing something with the different names being used and it made the flow of the story kinda sputter out at many points, which makes me come to my last major issue. The story was very slow, which made me want to skip sections just to get to the good stuff. That is never good in my book.

If you decide to give TAMING HER WOLF a try I am glad that I was able to tell you about the third form before you start reading, which will hopefully help you to enjoy the story better than I did. The bad guy from TAMING HER WOLF was never caught, but unless something is really compelling in book two's blurb, I most likely won't pick up the story to find out how everything turns out.

Taming Her Wolf
by Dee Carney

Wow! This is a really great read. There is plenty of mystery and suspense. Some fantastic lovin. Throw in a bit of betrayal and hopefully forgiveness.

Some of the mysteries are figured out, but there are still more to find the answers for and plenty of characters that need their stories told too.

This story was well written, plenty of information and explanations. I love the different background for the wolf-shifters.

I also like that the heroine was far from perfect. She has her story and she struggles with it.

I am looking forward to reading more about the Fire Creek Shifters.
