Short story (7200 words)

Read the sequel, The Wolf Hunger



Faelan sat huddled on the bed in her apartment, scratching irritably at her skin. Ever since she'd put that damn ring on, she'd been itching like crazy. At first the itching had been confined to her right hand, but now it was starting to spread everywhere.

And it wasn't a normal itch, like she got from poison ivy or bug bites. It was a weird tingling sensation that she couldn't begin to describe. All she knew was, it was bothering the hell out of her. It made her want to get up and run at top speed around the room until she somehow outdistanced it.

She grumbled to herself. Damn Conner, she thought with annoyance, not for the first time. Other guys gave their girlfriends nice normal diamond rings in gold or platinum settings. But Conner being Conner, he just had to give her something unusual.

And it just figured that she was apparently allergic to silver.

Not a good omen, really. She was allergic to the first ring he’d ever given her. Maybe that was fate’s way of letting her know they weren’t meant to be together after all.

She shrugged that thought aside, because she just couldn't believe that. She was way too much in love with Conner to believe it. Conner was far and away the best thing that had ever happened to her.

But even so, she didn't have much choice but to remove the damn thing. The itching, tingling sensation ran over her skin in ever-increasing waves, making her squirm uncomfortably, making her want to whimper. It was slowly morphing from a sensation of itchiness to one of...

She wiggled uncomfortably, rubbing her thighs together. The tingling sensation was still all over her skin, every inch of it, but it seemed most intense right between her legs.

The truth was, she was starting to feel kind of... horny.

He buys her a ring that transforms her into a randy werewolf.

[Cam · Rating 1 out of 5]

The beginning sounded promising but it just kind of went too fast. The hero's character, for me, seemed so weak and unsure. Heroine was okay but later on so unbelievable that she knew so much, even though she got information from the ring, she was so accepting of everything happening to her. The hero's character was more believable when he was doubtful and fearful of what was happening. Normal reaction versus the heroine's. The story could have been better it was longer and fleshed out. Also a more alpha male.

Good read

The story was short and sweet. The ring did its job and kept the couple in a hold full of love

[Laurie Garrison · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Wolf Ring is a regular paranormal romance, not erotica. I really liked the idea of the story but the author didn’t execute it right. I really would have like to read about how the ring came about in something like an excerpt or at the beginning of the story. The hero gives this ring to the heroine but neither he nor she really knows anything about it. Then all the sudden before the end the heroine somehow coughs up what the ring is and what it does? I found this really unbelievable because someone would not know about something like this unless it’s introduced to them and the writer never gave in sight on how the heroine found out.

The characters has a good spark between them so it made the sex scenes that much hotter. All in all if you enjoy PNR and you can get this for free it’s worth the read. I just really wished the beta reader would have pushed the author to go deeper into the story. I hope one day this author would go back and re-write this book because this story is something you don’t find in the PNR world.

3 1/2 stars, This was a good book that I wish was longer, it had a really different storyline that was refreshing. I wish the hero was stronger but overall I really liked it. When Connor saw the ring he knew he had to give it to Faelan his girlfriend, Connor knew she was the one but wasn't quite ready to ask her to marry him but something about the ring called to him. Faelan loved the ring but when she put it on strange things started to happen to her. Soon Faelan realized that only Connor could help her. What started out as a gift quickly turned into so much more and Faelan and Connor would never be the same.

Meg Harris really drew me in to this book I really enjoyed her writing style, and though the story was short it was just what I was looking for. I will defiantly be looking into more of this series and other books she writes, and I really hope she writes a full length book. But for how short this was she really pulled it off excellently.

It was a free read so I wasn't expecting much, but I actually quite liked it. Smooth writing, easy transitions between POVs, a unique twist on something that's become rather trite in fiction -- I thought it was a fun little read. Of course, it would have been much better had it been longer, but as I said -- it was free. This is the first work I've read from Meg Harris, but from reading this freebie alone, I think she seems like a great storyteller. I'm certainly going to look into her.

[Shelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Was only a so so werewolf love story. Never read from this author before. Glad the book was free, as I don't even feel it would be worth $.99. I may read book #2 if it was free. There just wasn't a lot of depth to this story & the romance was already established. I know there can't be to much detail and growth of the story when it's a short story, but I have read other short stories that were a heck of a lot better than this one.

[Madeline · Rating 1 out of 5]

Umm.... I honestly don't even know how to review these paragraphs, because that is exactly what they were. It was SO short, it was done before I could even process that it had ended. Def glad it was a freebie from on Amazon.com; but at least it could have been a whole chapter, not just a couple pages.

[Tina · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good book for being so short. If it had been longer, I may have questioned a few things. Such as how did they get the door open to run out back while in wolf form. Since it was short, I am assuming the other just figured we would understand one of them turned back to open and close the door. :-)
This book was free though, otherwise I would not have gotten it.

This is another one of those rare works where the FMC and MMC are already a couple from the start of the book. This short story follows a legend of a ring that transforms its wearer and his or her partner into a werewolf. It was a new concept to me, one I would have liked to see developed further – maybe in future works? – but overall, the story was well-written and a quick read.

[Elaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

A freebie book, story a little too short and lacking detail to make it 4 stars or higher, but not bad.

Perhaps the series will expand and give the characters more dimension. Decent writing and editing, which I always appreciate.

[Djg · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was just ok.

Man doesn't know he's he a werewolf and follows the siren call of the forest where he meets a naked woman. They have several encounters before doing the deed and partially turning.

The characters where very undeveloped and it would have benefitted from being a bit longer.

[Beckey]

This one had potential but the execution of the story fell flat... Characters development seemed to be lacking and the story lacked for me (Putting it bluntly I found it to be very boring...) short quick read.

[Kacii · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short and sweet. To the point. Not bad?

[Gem · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lame!!!

[Skye Stewart · Rating 2 out of 5]

Free read. I don't think I would have paid for this book! The POV changes were swift. However the rest of the book was choppy :/

[Nekeisha Ryce · Rating 2 out of 5]

This wasn't a bad story just one that was straight to the point and I mean literally. So overall It was ok... I just wish the story had more depth.....

[Sónia Tigol · Rating 3 out of 5]

For a free kindle book this book is good! I had a lot of fun reading this book. I really like this short story. This was a really fast read!

[MsBDiamondDiva1 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very short, cute story and I liked it. Just don't know if I will read anymore from this author.

[Christina Staddon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked it very much just wish it was a little longer. but I did enjoy the book.

[NCChris · Rating 2 out of 5]

A touch short and rushed. OK for a free read.

[Trena · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a quickie then this is a good one.

[Kim Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good book. A really fast read but very very entertaining. I will finish the series.

[Kyra Dunst · Rating 4 out of 5]

For such a short story, there was a bit of romance, some truly wild sex, and we still got to know the characters a bit between the rest. Not bad for a short teaser story.

[Nikita Isaac · Rating 2 out of 5]

ok

[Kirby · Rating 3 out of 5]
