Taming Heather

Cariboo Lunewulf #1

by Lorie O'Clare

Heather Graham had one thing in mind—furthering her career. And an exposé on the werewolves in her community would do just that. All she needed was to get up close and personal with one of them, and she could write an article that would give her front-page coverage across the nation. Her career would skyrocket! And Marc McAllister was just the man—and werewolf—to help her do it.But when Marc realizes Heather's flirty behavior exists solely so she can exploit werewolves in her newspaper, he decides it's time to show little Miss Graham exactly how a werewolf behaves. And Marc McAllister isn't just any werewolf, but purebred Cariboo Lunewulf—wild, strong, aggressive and the quintessential alpha male.In a clash of wills, bodies and souls, Marc and Heather set off enough sparks to start a raging fire. Drawing the wild side out of Marc hits Heather with a bolt of lust that won't go away. Unexpectedly for Marc, he may just have met his match in the little spitfire.But their biggest hurdle may not be with each other, but from another direction entirely.

I love reading books from Ellora's Cave the books are always naughty and they keep my attention. Marc he has some pretty big balls, "he held her head so she couldn't move, forcing her to look into the deepest pools of blue she'd ever seen. She could drown in his eyes. "So are you interested only in how we celebrate death? Or do all our rituals fascinate you?" He's bluntly honest, "little b****es who run alone are often looking for a quick eff in the woods," he whispered, his breath scorching her skin. "is that what you want, little one?" Heather quickly figures out that all her man needs is her to feel better, "I plan on being a hell of a lot better than this here real soon," he told her, his c*** so damned hard that it pressed against the restraint of his boxers." I loved the possessiveness that he has, "get in bed." Instead of holding her, he simply crossed his arms, watching while she climbed into his bed and pulled the cover over her. Mine! His body hardened once again with the knowledge that he had no desire to ever let her go." I love the werewolf stories Ellora's Cave publishes you get lost in the books and when it ends you didn't want to leave the story.

This was an interesting read just like an book that is published by Ellora Cave.

Heather is mindset on furthering career no matter what or WHO she may need obtain that goal. Perplexing and confounding read that was captivating. Looking forward to reading more from the author ...

I accidently read a book farther in this series and wasn't sure I was going to like this book. I liked so much better than the other one. Werewolves in this series call their women bitches, if that's a trigger for you, you may find it hard to read. Accepting Lorie's take on werewolves makes you really acknowledge their differences. Heather is a reporter and starts her assignment with the viewpoint that werewolves are monsters and ends up falling in love and becoming an advocate for them.

1.5
Oh man, this was bad. It's only avoiding a one star because I laughed a lot. (There was very little deliberate humor in it.) It was basically just a thin veneer of plot to allow for lots and lots of sex that essentially started the moment the man characters met. But hey, it's Ellora's Cave and that's practically their business model. So, I can't say I went in unaware. I happen to occasionally like that sort of book in a "I'm laughing with you, not at you sort of way."

Unfortunately, the sex wasn't that great. The writing was extremely repetitive, with the same stock words/phrases being used again and again and again and again, sometimes more than once within the same paragraph, and the same information being provided over and over. The characters never really lived up to their description; the book depending on that description to give them life, instead of providing proof. Plus, I thought Marc was a jerk. Lastly, the copyediting needed a bit more work and it contradicted itself.

This book is steamy hot, and well written. I enjoyed it cover to cover. The building romance wasn't instant but the connection was. I love the way Lorie created the two worlds and merged them. If werewolves were really i think it would probably go much the same way as the detailed worked Lorie created. while i know Lorie and i may be a bit biest it doesn't take from the fact that i genuinely enjoy her novels and have reread this series as well as her others many times. Another hit Lorie! I own this book (it's signed) and have read it a few times now. Would totally recommend to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance novels that actually have a storyline to them!

As much as I love me a good alpha wolf, I love when that alpha meets his match even more. Marc is one hell of an alpha, too. He may not be alpha of the pack, which causes its own issues, but he is all dominating male. Heather is a reporter out to write the article of her career, on werewolves, when she literally runs into the irritating man. She is equally turned on and confused about her desire for the bossy brute. Unfortunately, both the pack and the humans object to their relationship, making their love seem even more impossible. I would definitely read more from this author.

Ok read. I thought that if the author had added a little more emphasis on the romance and less sex I would have given this a higher rating. As it was I was tired of reading 'bit@h, cu**, f*ck, c*ck' as the main words of every sentence.

I loved the story .I just wished it was longer and was a little more sporadic about calling her a Bitch .
* This is what these wolves call their female mates .Not ment in a badway ,but still annoying the way it's platered around in the book.
