Growing up, I was always the quiet girl who knew everyone but never quite fit in. I kept busy with dance, cheerleading and numerous other activities. I was an overachiever, a hard worker and very dedicated to anything I pursued. When I decided that I loved writing enough to follow along the writer’s career path, nothing deterred me from reaching my goals. I didn’t go to college straight out of high school, but rather focused all my free time and energy into my stories. Negativity could not steer me off the path of my dreams. It only made me more determined to succeed as a writer. Now, with a loving husband and a son who is sweetly proud of his mommy, I continue to do what I love most: Write from my heart and share my stories with the world.
Shyla is the last of surviving member of the White Wolf Shifters. Her parents were murdered when she was a baby and for her protection, she’s been raised with “humans”. When her Grandfather dies, she comes to Hood River to settle his estate. Coal and Jacy are both Alpha Werewolf shifters, and best buds since they were pups. They’ve grown up with the knowledge that they would be Shyla’s mate. They’re not going to let Shyla leave now that she’s come home -- To bad, no one explained that to Shyla.
She’s very attracted to both Coal and Jacy, but feels conflicted with her emotional and sexual desires. Throw in the “shifter mate bonding” and it’s even stronger to harder for her to resist. Coal and Jacy grew up with the knowledge that they’d share their mate, they already have a strong rivalry, but the need to claim Shyla makes it harder for them to deal with each other and their shifter need to dominate Shyla.
The love scenes were spicy and very nicely done. For those of you who read “Shifter” books; Shayla’s first shift to a wolf was HOT. Kudos to Ms. Regales – it was a very creative twist on the same-o’-thing. I don’t have a lot of exposure to ménage plots, but Ms. Regale’s characters are well developed and you couldn’t help hoping that everything would work out for them in the end.
When Shyla Smith arrives in Hood River to close up her grandfathers estate, it is met with more confusion. Shyla had never physically met him and although he wrote a few letters explaining her heritage, it was to difficult to believe.
When Shyla meets Coal Demmering and Jacy Roddery who were friends of her grandfather, Shyla's life turns completely upside down. One minute she is single and heading back to New York, the next she finds out she is a rare white wolf and Coal and Jacy are her mates. With the threat still out there to destroy what looks like the last white wolf alive, Jacy and Coal are intent on protecting Shyla. Shyla however is feeling too much too soon and isn't sure if she is willing to move to Hood River and follow her destiny.
This was overall good, 3.75 but it was so rushed it was a little hard to grasp the rampant feelings running around Shyla. I would be interested in reading more of the series though.
I read this solely because I needed an author whose initials were RR and I was having trouble finding anything. Definitely not my usual fare, but it really wasn't bad!
