Wolf in Geek's Clothing
Sometimes the wild doesn’t call; it screams.
Ryan Miller works an IT Helpdesk by day, but his nights have become filled with wild dreams so vivid that they leave him drenched and hungry. He’s losing his grip, and the only thing he can cling to is the predator’s eyes he remembers every morning.
Sauri Whitepaw is a wolf on the run. Exiled by his pack, badly wounded, he flees to the only territory not patrolled by shifters: the human city at the foot of the mountains. It is a frightening place his people have never seen up close, but if he is to survive another night he must dive into it head first.
When Ryan and Sauri’s paths cross, Ryan sees the primal stranger from his dreams and the foundations of his world are shattered. Can Ryan accept his new life and the Alpha Sauri was born to become?

About the author

Raised on a steady diet of Star Trek and Doctor Who, Amelia stood no chance in not becoming a grade-A geek. She has sat on the board of the British Fantasy Society, contributed fiction and fluff to various published roleplaying games, and written non-fiction for SciFiNow and SFX Magazines. For every positive there is an equal and opposite negative, and Amelia is forced to admit that she loves Wild Wild West.

Shifters, what can I say. A short, fun read. I really liked the fresh concept that shifters were unfamiliar with how humans live. It was fun to see Sauri try to understand even the simplest things that we take for granted every day. It would be fun to see Sauri and Ryan build their new pack in the city, finding lost shifters. What a great idea for a new series.

Too short! It reads like a beginning of a story, the story I might really enjoy. So, it needs a sequel, but I did like the MC's.

DNF This is a repair.
I DNF this and that's so rare for me. Why two stars? Well it might work for you and Faulkner can write. Go read Blind Man's Wolf instead.

This read like the beginning of a good book then ended abruptly.

Loved it
This was an amazing short shifter romance. I loved how Amelia Faulkner explored the culture shock of adapting to a different place and way of life.

This was kind of all over the place so my review's going to be that way, too.
I liked the different take on werewolf culture. Huge info dump about coming out to his boss. I don't need the whole back story.
It's cool that the story talked about having multiple levels of support on a tech support team. They pretty much all have them and books don't talk about that. (Pretty much the first line knows basic troubleshooting and looks in a database. If it's outside that realm, they bump it up.)
Fingers do have muscles. That was a really weird statement.
It's not pronounced weer wolf.
They didn't use lube and didn't even discuss it. Ouch!
Sauri takes to being gay too easily.
Sauri's lack of understanding about human life is cute and well done. I'm a sucker for fish out of water stories.
I think this could benefit by a sequel, or being expanded.
3.5 stars rounded up because I think the overall rating isn't fair. It's a better story than that.

Sauri's ignorance of simple day to day human life was annoying. If his pack lived withing walking distance of a city with skyscrapers, then I can't see how he could know so little. There are cultures that shun modern devices, but I'm sure they aren't completely mystified by them.
Other than that...the story was rushed, and I would have enjoyed it more if it was longer.
Kinda cute.
Fine for a quick bedtime story, when you don't want to read to late.

It really turned out as an unexpected read. I just thought both Ryan and Sauri would be normal guys living in society. Turns out Ryan is a normal city guy and Sauri is ignorant of the workings of a city and it's human population. It made for an kind interesting read but it didn't really pull me in. The societal/cultural differences and lives of the two was fascinating elements in the book but I just wish there had been more excitement and romance.

This was a fun story. It felt very short. We spent a lot of time on the background of the geek, a little on the background of the were, and only a little on the action after they meet. Of course in this type of story they declare love for each other after only a couple hours.
There were only a couple typos, but nothing distracting.
I recommend this for lovers of gay werewolf stories.

Sadly this doesn't mesh with my tastes in a few ways, especially in terms of character– both MC just didn't really work for me. I couldn't find my way into their hearts :(
Having all that said, I hope you'll enjoy reading it!

Had great promise, a different type of shifter provides a twist on the usual,
Ryan is geeky and cute, and the insta/ mate thingy handled well...then it's all quickly tied up. Feels like a prequel or start to a series.

Really cute
Very sweet story. This is a great beginning to a series. Is it a part of a series? I do not know but it really is a great idea how Sauri wants to help other lost wolves. There are so many possibilities for this story.

Country bumpkin...errrr...shifter meets big city and finds his mate who was not aware he was a shifter as well.
Interesting plot, well enough told, though a bit much compressed in perhaps too short a book?

IMO the begining of Wolf in Geek's Clothing was really good, then it started going down hill a bit. This is a pretty short story and I still struggled to finish it.

Concept was interesting, I just felt that it ended mid story. At then end my main reaction was '---so where is the rest of the book?'

This book started really good, but it sort of fizzled out at the end. I really liked both MC's but it was like once they were together the story was over.

Short wish for more descriptions and background on characters

Wish for a bigger plot
The story was good. I would have liked a bigger plot in the story. It leaves you wishing for some answers, unless those will be coming in a sequel.

The main idea of the story is great, but I think they needed to meet someone who could help them understand what was happening around them. This book definitely needs a sequel. Nice characters.

Got this in the Howl & Growl box set. It was not one of my favorites. It was an ok read.

Witty, warm and magical
This story had me laughing. The characters pop off the pages. Absolutely a fun and satisfying story. Will b reading more by this author.

This seems like the beginning of what may be a good series but so far, I'm not liking the characters.
