not my favorite...storyline started off really slow but it slowly builds.....Her characters are fun, and funny, and real people...was happy the lead character didn't have brogue. ( )

Quinn is from an Ireland Pack, he was brought to America to attend a meeting of the others. To make a decision as to whether it is essential for their world to be unveiled. He had it all mapped out except for the part including a fox woman named Cassidy Poe. They find that they are already under attack from a religious group, and obstacles of whom to trust. Now trusting only each other, and their attraction brewing they must handle their mystery group, before they find them first. ( )

I really liked. I will probably pick up the rest of the series. It wasn't bad. ( )

First book in the Others series. I like the world better than the stories - the sex is very explicit which I find less interesting, and the obstacles (some of them, the immovable ones) are either ignored or deus-ex-machina dealt with. A human marrying an immortal, especially when the immortal is explicitly said to mate 'for life' - there are problems there that can't be easily solved, but the author just skates over them (either the human's life is automatically extended, or the immortal says (to himself, not his mate) that he'll die along with her (gender distribution correct for these two books (first and third)). Fluffy.). But the world is great - urban fantasy with hidden Others, the first book they decide to unveil, in the second they're in negotiations, in the third book they've just unveiled and humans are dealing (badly) with these facts. I'd really like to see some non-romance books set in this universe - honestly, there's some good stories in here somewhat obscured by two peoples' sudden obsession with each other. Oh yeah, and they definitely illustrate the First Law of Romance: if the sex is fantastic, it's true love which will overcome all obstacles. If it's not so good, it's with the wrong partner. Pffff.

As the first book in a new paranormal series, Warren is off to a running start. A Novel of the Others, Wolf at the Door is the “tail” of Sullivan Quinn and Cassidy Berry. Quinn, coming from a long line of Irishman werewolf ambassadors, comes to the States as a delegate from the European Council of Others to the American Council to advocate that it is time for the Others to announce themselves to the humans of the world and try to coexist peacefully and truthfully. Cassidy is a Foxwoman, an anthropologist who - although being from a long and illustrious line of diplomats herself - has no interest in politics, but - based on her expertise - is vehemently against the idea of unveiling themselves to the world. Throw in a religious fanatical group bent on the complete exposition and destruction of all Others, several kidnappings, a domineering and opinionated old fox (literally) of a grandmother, and some steamy love scenes to make this a good start to, what looks to be, a great new series.

I enjoyed this romance for it’s very witty quips and dialogue, the interesting characters, and because it opens up a world that Warren could write about for some time. The romance was pretty easy with few obstacles - but lots of sex, as Warren spent more time on the overall plot than on the two getting together. Which is often nice, because even I get bored from time to time with a romance novel just being the constant misunderstandings between the couple keeping them apart and the easy resolution at the end that could have been found in the beginning. Not to mention, that this was an introduction novel, and she had to spend some time establishing the new world

That is not to say that I haven’t read better paranormal romance, but you can’t only read the “best book ever” or you would shortly run out of things to read. I think Warren has a lot of potential and I look fowarding to reading her next one, She’s No Faerie Princess. I hope at some point she’ll write a backstory about how werejaguar Felix (that’s like a werewolf Alpha) Rafael de Santos met his witchy (again, literally) wife Tess!

Oh, and I have to share my favorite line from this book you - well, at least my favorite PG one.
Quinn to Cassidy - “I need you to understand what you do to me. You go to my head like whiskey, and I’m asking you nicely to please let me have another sip.” Boy, would I have liked to hear that in his sweet Irish brogue. *sigh*

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312939620, Mass Market Paperback)

Sullivan Quinn didn’t travel 3,000 miles from his native Ireland and his wolf pack just to chase rabidly after the most delectable quarry he’s ever seen. Quinn is in America on a mission—to warn his Other brethren of a shadowy group willing to use murder and mayhem to bring them down. But one whiff of this Foxwoman’s delicious honeysuckle fragrance and he knows that she is more than a colleague or a conquest…she is his mate.
Anthropologist Cassidy Poe is a world-renowned authority on social interaction, but the overpowering desire she feels around Quinn defies every ounce of her expertise. Working by his side to uncover The Others’ enemies poses risks she never expected—to her own safety, to those she loves, and to her heart, as every encounter with Quinn proves more blissfully erotic than the last…

Now, with no one to trust but each other, Quinn and Cassidy face a foe that’s edging closer every day, threatening to destroy the life they’ve always known, and the passion they’ve just discovered…
