"Emma Gavin writes bestselling novels about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them--and she certainly doesn't think she'll meet one. But that's exactly what happens when her books catch the attention of a rich and powerful pack of Manhattan Weres, who have kept their existence hidden for centuries. Alarmed by the accuracy of her novels, they're determined to find out if a renegade is acting as her informant. Aidan Wallace, the pack leader's son and heir, knows he's the wolf for the job, but when he gets too close to Emma, they are both surprised by an attraction too strong to deny. To surrender to it, Aidan will have to risk everything--including the security of the pack he's sworn to protect..."--P. [4] of cover.… (more)

Narrator(s): Abby Craden

The Characters:

The Story:

I’m not sure why they chose this title, the characters spent 80% of the book in Chicago. But I digress. I liked the chemistry between Emma and Aiden. I really enjoyed the fact that Emma is a writer. I need to read more books that feature awesome writer characters. The Wallace family has a rich history and I look forward to learning more about the Pack. ( )

A WEREWOLF IN MANHATTAN was a so-so book for me. Nothing in it really stood out to me, honestly. I think part of my problem stemmed from something said in the beginning in regards to how the main character (Emma) would salivate over the hero (Aidan) because he is her 'dream guy'. The development of the relationship pretty much relied on that fact. Aidan fought his mating instincts for her (badly, I might add; he was all 'no, no, no' and then naked), and Emma would think 'He's hot! I want to sleep with him!' and...there you have it.

Everything else was just thrown in, though I did like Roarke (Aidan's younger brother) a bit more since he seemed more...interesting. He teased and pushed and slyly poked fun at Aidan, who was more reserved.

The inclusion of Aidan's genetic flaw (if he's aroused and left unfulfilled, he shifts) could have been used more effectively. As it was, it basically was the means to why Aidan finally chucks the fact he has a duty to his family to marry another werewolf and sleeps with Emma. Many times. This goes back to the fact that Thompson doesn't really develop a strong foundation for their relationship. Before hormones got involved, there was a tentative attempt to engage the reader in this couple, but it all fell to the wayside, sadly.

The rogue werewolf element that set this happy train into motion originally is dealt with anticlimactically and what felt like too quickly. The last few chapters are devoted to Emma meeting Aidan's family and their worrying that they will have too much opposition to their relationship, and what will they do then?

You can imagine how that went.

This was ultimately just not up to the promise of the first few chapters. Everything felt a bit more shallow than Thompson ordinarily writes, which is a letdown to many of her fans.

I really didn't care for this book. The characters didn't really have a grip on their feelings and I couldn't get a grip on their personalities. Probably won't be continuing along with this series. ( )

Cute and delightful. I totally stole this one off the tbr list of a buddy-read sort of game in one of my GR paranormal discussion groups. And it was such a great find!

A novelist writing about werewolves who attracts the attention of actual werewolves when she comes a little too close to the truth in her books. She’s assigned a bodyguard when a stalker takes an interest. Her bodyguard’s assignment is to determine how much she really knows. And to keep the werewolf from the rival pack from doing anything stupid. Too bad he’s falling for the human woman rather than the werewolf he’s betrothed to. This was super-cute! Lots of humor, lots of werewolf-funny, and no super-horrible baddies. Just a lot of fun. I will definitely be reading more. And good steamy scenes!

love the last two in the series for their quirky humor- just not find that in this first book. ( )

Book description
Emma Gavin writes about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them-not until a pack of real-life New York weres decide to investigate the striking accuracy of her "fiction".

When Aiden Wallace, son and heir of the pack leader, tries to sniff out Emma's potential informant, he discovers something even more dangerous- an undeniable attraction to her.
