Grace Dawes is enjoying a boring, anonymous life in the aftermath of a tumultuous childhood until a call from her estranged parents takes her back to her hometown. When the visit gets derailed by a menacing intruder in her parents’ home and Grace’s life is put on the line, she comes face to face with a man she believed existed only in her dreams.
Lathan Black has spent fifteen years trying to get over the only woman his heart has ever truly desired. The ambitious young shifter rules himself, his wolf, and his pack with total control. But when Grace crashes unexpectedly back into town and falls into mortal danger, he and his family are the only ones she can turn to for help.
Plunged into a universe of magic, Grace must choose whether or not to abandon her carefully structured life to fulfill an extraordinary destiny she has never been prepared for. Lathan must grapple with the rigid composure holding him back from becoming the wolf he is meant to be.
Can they give up control long enough to explore the promise of love?
J. E. Martin has been telling stories for as long as she can remember. As a child, she wrote and illustrated a magnificent two-page graphic novel about gerbils. She won her first writing award when she was ten years old. It wasn’t for the gerbil thing.
Her background is in theatre as an actor and director, and she enjoys some small-town fame as a radio personality. She also loves music, photography, digital art, the ocean, animals, and—not surprisingly—reading.
She currently lives in the US with her husband, their three cats, and one dog. When she isn’t writing or traveling, she’s thinking about writing and traveling.
This love story is the kind that you wished was true. That they thought that they would send the one they love away. Just to protect them and break their on heart when he does. But true love always wins in the end. Truly loved this story
This book is so not like other books in its genre. It's a different tale with a special twist. It makes you laugh and at some points it makes you want to cry. It's an excellent read! Minor grammatical errors.
Black Wolf is an expertly crafted debut novel by J. E. Martin. It hits all the right notes for Paranormal Romance fans: magic, mystery, intrigue, and of course, romance. Add to that a sassy heroine and a swoon-worthy hero (hello, Lathan!), and you've got an exciting ride from start to finish. And I'm so glad I bought a ticket!
Martin has laid an excellent foundation for so many future story possibilities in the UNITY universe (ware wolves and vampires and dragons, oh my!) I can't wait for book two!
