review 1: I think this is my second shifter book. Maybe? I'm still not sure if they are for me, but I did like this one. The characters were interesting, not just the MC's, but the supporting characters as well. I'm left wanting to know how the relationships develop within the pack, the way they live day to day, and how the structure works out having an alpha that's mated with another man. My biggest concern was how little information there was in pack development, character development, and background story. There seems to be SO MUCH BACKGROUND STORY. I just didn't get a good feel for it. Everything was rushed to get to the happy mating, and I felt like the background story was more like an offhanded way to get to the fucking at some points.Because this is a pretty short book, I ca... moren see the need to cram information in, but it does little service to what could be a very intriguing universe. I got the love interest, the passion, and all those things that go along with it, but what I missed was more of everything else. Still, I stayed interested and look forward to the next book (Yay for Sean and Liam!). Crossing my fingers that as the next book flows into a third, because it's obvious who that book will focus on, we'll get more depth. review 2: At night, in his dreams, the new pack alpha Merek Wahya is sensually wrapped around a silver haired stranger.

Reality with anyone is never as perfect as the time he spends with his mystery dream man.At one time Jace Shaw was part of an intensely private pack of werewolves.

Scent of a Wolf explores the nuances of dreams or reality – lust or love, which can be counted on. Merek believing in Jace changes everything for the Alpha. Two strong characters butting heads while at the same time dealing with a maniacal enemy. The action never stops in this charged plotline and the characters are everything readers expect and more. There’s no end of entertainment in Scent of a Wolf until the last page ends.This book was reviewed by Lisa for Joyfully Reviewed (JR), and was provided by the publisher/author at no cost to JR for the purpose of being reviewed. less
