Taming the Pack

review 1: A Lycan ends up mated with a human. While this kind of tale has been told and retold, Ms. Sparrow puts a spin on it that makes it her own. And I have to say, it’s super refreshing to read a story where the shifter isn’t impervious to human afflictions.Vanessa’s everything a Lycan should be–strong, fast, deadly, beautiful–except she suffers from the worst case of allergies known to, well, anyone. Her medicine cabinet rivals a pharmacy, and the list of what she’s allergic to is so long it’s hard not to laugh just thinking about it. After she gets taken out by a cat (dander sucks!) she ends up scent-matched to the man who rescued her. A very sexy man who feels the same pull for her as she does for him.Dane’s a park ranger, a cat babysitter, and human. But don�... more��t let his humanity fool you one bit. While he might not understand Lycan laws or traditions, he understands that Vanessa is his. He might not like the authority her Alpha Jordan has over her, but he begrudgingly accepts it to keep her safe when trouble comes knocking.The trouble nipping at Vanessa’s heels brings about two poignant moments in this story: Vanessa and Dane profess their love for one another, and Jordan discovers how close he was to his own happy ending. It was a bittersweet moment to experience that scene with all three of them.I like your wit and your style of writing, Ms. Sparrow. Dane and Vanessa’s story is worth having and reading over and over again. My only question is, will Jordan ever have his own happy ending?***Received from PYUB for an honest review***
review 2: Title: Past My Defenses Author: Wendy Sparrow Publisher: Entangled Publishing LLC Published: 6-23-2014 ISBN: 13-978-1-62266-737-6ASIN E-Book: B00KP8FDPYPages: 271 Genre: Paranormal Romance Tags: Suspense, Contemporary Romance, Shifters, WerewolvesSensual Rating: Sizzling Overall Rating: Great Reviewed For: Entangled Publishing Reviewer: DelAnneDane Hansen, a Glacier Peak Park Ranger, stops on his way to investigate an abandoned car off the side of the road and part way into a ditch. Things don't add up as an accident, yet the sheriff's office seems to be acting as if it is an everyday event. Later that night his sister's cat, Lucifer gets out and attacks a beautiful silver wolf and amazingly seems to win. Dane brings the unconscious wolf home to treat it. He keeps an eye on it through the night and suddenly where once there was a wolf in the cage is unexpectedly a gorgeous woman, a gorgeous naked blond woman.Vanessa could not believe this had happened to her a homicidal house cat had brought her down. Even now it sat outside the cage trying to get to her. Her allergies were going to be the death of her yet, literally. She could barely breathe not to mention a human had found her and now knew about lycans. Jordan was going to be so mad, at best he might ask her to leave, at worst he would kill her and the human to protect the pack. Meds, she needed meds or Jordan wouldn't have to killer her. This was all Jordan's fault anyway for sending her out when he knew how her allergies were.Now someone was out to make the lycan species extinct, the alpha female was missing and Vanessa's mate was a human. Could life get any more complicated? Yes the killer decided Vanessa needs to be eliminated next.Humor runs throughout this story, as does suspense and romance. As unusual a paranormal romance Past My Defenses is I still found it to be an absorbing story I have read in a long time. I was laughing out loud as poor Vanessa and Dane got to know each other and Dane worked his way around the minefield of her numerous allergies. I especially thought it was hilarious how everyone keeps asking if he knows she is allergic to marshmallows like he is insane to get involved with someone so freakish. Dane even memorizes the two pages of allergies to ensure to avoid them. Now that is true love. I sincerely hope there will be more from Wendy Sparrow in her Taming the pack series. If so I hope Jordan will be next in line to find his pack, or if possible, maybe Travis. There is definitely more to these two than what meets the eye.Wendy Sparrow is a new author for me, but I can see her becoming an author I will be following closely. Pick up a copy of Past My Defenses and enjoy yourself beyond belief. less
