Heart of the Beast
Deep in the forest...
Bonnie Redding had come to the isolated Arkansas research lab to be reunited with her father, a figure from her remote past who had sacrificed family for his scientific career. But the man who greeted her was strangely detached -- so different from her dim childhood memories.
Even more mysterious was Nicholas Shepherd, a brilliant doctor with unsettling eyes. It was he who warned Bonnie that her father wasn't what he seemed -- that there was evil at Redding Institute. Bonnie's instincts told her to flee, but she couldn't bear to leave Nicholas behind.
Nicholas knew Bonnie had to get away before it was too late, before passion exploded between them. Because he had a deadly secret -- and it guaranteed that falling in love would destroy them both...

A werewolf romance...ah, how sweet! Carla Cassidy took a basic romance story and added a couple twists to better engage her readers. I am not normally a fan of silhouette's romance novels but i guess the shadow books may be alright. This one was fair at least.
The book focuses on a young woman, Bonnie, who just lost her mother and now want the connect with the only family she has: her father. She has not seen or heard from him about 20 years. Upon her mothers passing, she tires to reach out to him, only to be rejected. Suddenly she gets a new letter asking her to visit him at the Institute he runs. But not all is as it seems. The first couple days, she learns the townspeople are unhappy or even scared of the Institute and those that are there. Her father is always away in him labs...and then there is Nicholas. A mysterious man she is instantly attracted to. One guess as to what he is.... At times, Bonnie is too blind to what is going on and that is frustrating!
While the story is very predictable, and typical for a standard romance novel, I do have to give the author credit for the slightly darker, mysterious setting. It made for a more interesting read.

This book was pretty good. I liked the story line and the characters. I would read this again, but I wouldn't consider it a go-to book. There were quite a few things I never saw coming. I definitely liked the ending, a great HEA. Enjoy
