2 stars = okay. A lone wolf in hiding while 'licking his wounds', Alistar has been doing his best to avoid his neighbor Brienne, she's the right woman at the wrong time because Alistar's mortal enemy is closing in on him and Alistar knows that giving in to his attraction means putting Brienne into danger.
As much as I normally love Castle, this Her Wicked Wolf was a near miss for - it was steamy and short but relied on the pull between mates to get the job done since there wasn't have time to develop much in the way of 'heart'. The one thing that I did like about the story though was that Brienne's role was key to resolving the conflict.

Fairly standard boy, I mean wolf, meets girl, girl is attracted to wolf.....problem must be overcome before HEA.
Didn't realize it was such a short story. Likely the reason why character development wasn't very great and the romance and problem were resolved so quickly.

This was a good short story. If it would have been longer there could have been more meat to it but as it was I liked it.

Setting: a somewhat isolated two story house in the woods – she rents the top floor, he the bottom;
Theme: responsibility; facing the evil alone to protect the others; finding a lifemate;
Characters:
Brienne Fox: writer; moved from Florida to northern state; has been obsessing over her neighbor, listening to his movements below him, guessing he has a cat, because he always talks to someone when he first walks in his door (it ends up to be a fish); she’s interested in him, but he avoids her and is distant when their paths cross;
Alistair Locke: alpha-in-exile; his nephew standing in for him until brother taken care of; 500 years old; a genetic were, not changed werewolf; his brother, never happy with his standing as second son, has gone over the edge, and killed many of his pack, and injured him terribly; he left 5 years ago to heal, and to face his brother on his own; though attracted to Brienne, he keeps away from her – he has other responsibilities, and does not want her to become a victim of his brother;
Owain: Alistair’s brother;
Summary:
A big, winter, snowy storm is on its way; Brienne listens for Alistair to come home, then heads out to the store to stock up – and considers a fantasy, where the electricity goes out, and she is forced to seek shelter in his unit with a fireplace; but she surprisingly runs into him in the hall – and rather than ducking back into his apartment, he greets her (formally – Ms Fox), and they talk while they go out to their cars… and she shyly asks him to dinner sometime, and he can’t resist touching her cheek, and she sucks in his finger into his mouth; but then he steps away, declines her invitation, and they both take off…
She is embarrassed, and goes to her room, knowing no fireplace for her tonight… she goes to sleep, and is woken by thumps and noises downstairs… she grabs a kitchen knife, and goes down… sees two men fight – then sees two wolves fighting – she is pushed against a wall, with the knife going under the couch; then the black wolf kills the other, and she screams, and the black wolf comes to her, and she closes her eyes, afraid, and then hears his voice, and the touch of his hand… and he tells her of werewolves, and of his battle with his brother… and touches on lifemates – which he now understands she is – and she figures out she fits the bill; and she offers herself to him – knowing he will leave her to fight her brother elsewhere; they have a night of great passion…
And she wakes up, and he is gone… but as coffee is brewing, his brother shows up – and recognizes Alaister’s smell on her – and attacks… but Alaister jumps in, and they fight, both bleeding… and she sees the knife under the couch, grabs it, stabs Owain – allowing Alaister to finish the job…
True lifemates – she protected him, and he her… ahhhh
Memorable scenes:
Before would allow himself to talk with Brienne, “…simply breathing in her scent, which seemed to permeate every nook and cranny of the house, and wishing he could just… roll around in it. Preferably with her.”
And once they talk.. and once they connect – “ It was exactly what she’d wanted, and far better than she could have imagined. Where his earlier kisses had tugged at her heart, this kiss was all about raw possession.”

It was a short story and not too deep. I might have liked it better with a different narrator because I didn't care for the voice that was used for the MMC.

its a nice short story. but somehow i don't think he's an alpha. his brother seems far stronger than he is and he needs help to defeat his enemy.

I liked this one a lot more than the last one I read by this author. I was a good shorter story.

Free read. This actually could've been good, but it was way too short. No bad.
