Vane Kattalakis, a were hunter, is not looking for a mate. The enemy wants him dead and the Fates see fit to mark him with a human mate.

Bride McTierney is done with men. They do not see her or love her for who she is.

Vane must convince Bride that the supernatural is real and that they belong to each other. Together they must conquer the enemy and secure a future for his people. ( )

So Sherrilyn Kenyon readers can take a break from Dark-Hunters because this one's about a Were-hunter and more, but that doesn't mean they're not present here. Kyrian and Amanda are here together with the ever-present Acheron and his cute demon Simi, who I'm getting fond of more and more.

From what I've read in her previous novels, I'd consider this a light read. No betrayal, no ghastly tortures,and such. Vane does have scars and Bride wasn't the conventional heroine when it comes to physical looks. I liked that SK wrote about different people, that not all heroines need to be sexy or a below size 6.

I liked the family values in this story and was really happy for Vane to have found his family, I was also amused by the magic. Of course there were expensive cars, time-traveling, and wolf mating rituals that I found interesting. Their story happened quickly (less than 3 weeks) and it's really too good to be true, but hey it's fiction, right? It was really entertaining especially when I read about the squires. I really liked their attitude.

I'm quite intrigued with Valerius, he's next. ( )

Yet another excellent book in this series. I liked that this one was about the part animal people as opposed to the dark hunters. I also liked that the leading lady was "a good solid 18", that was pretty cool. There was also good plot and humor in this book. Loved it. ( )

This book was more about the romance than some of the other books in this series. I liked Bride (but I’m not crazy about her name) and Vane, though the book followed Kenyon’s usual “supernatural man finds love with human woman but he thinks they shouldn’t be together” formula. I also like how Kenyon’s leading ladies are not the stereotypical drop dead gorgeous bombshells. Not a lot of substance here, but that’s really not what I was looking for. You read these books for a fun supernatural romp complete with some hot between the sheets action. ( )

Bride McTierney has had it with men. They're cheap, self-centered, and never love her for who she is. But though she prides herself on being independent, deep down she still yearns for a knight in shining armor. She just never expected her knight in shining armor to have a shiny coat of fur...

Deadly and tortured, Vane Kattalakis isn't what he seems. Most women lament that their boyfriends are dogs. In Bride's case, hers is a wolf. A Were-Hunter wolf. Wanted dead by his enemies, Vane isn't looking for a mate. But the Fates have marked Bride as his. Now he has three weeks to either convince Bride that the supernatural is real or he will spend the rest of his life neutered--something no self-respecting wolf can accept...

But how does a wolf convince a human to trust him with her life when his enemies are out to end his? In the world of the Were-Hunters, it really is dog-eat-dog. And only one alpha male can win.
