Synopsis

 

CEO and alpha werewolf Drake Wilder has given up the search for his one true love. When

he discovers that she’s a secretary in his company, Drake’s primal instincts kick into overdrive. 

What he wouldn’t give to have her fingers rake over his body instead of the keyboard… 

Free-spirited bartender Emelia Hudson wants nothing more than to make her Seattle-based bar succeed. But when profits decline, she slips into a dress suit and secures a nine-to-five. After learning that her bar has become property of Wilder Financial, Emelia is determined to get some answers.
 

Two can play the ruthless business game. If only her attraction to the boss wasn’t so intense…

 

When Drake’s twin brother senses that Drake has found his match—and now inherits their father’s billion dollar estate—he hatches a plan to take Emelia out. Drake vows to protect her at all costs, but he might have to pay with his own life.
 

My Thoughts

 

Gone with the Wolf by Kristin Miller is the first book that I’ve read from Entangled Publishing’s Covet line. I have to admit that I loved this paranormal romance novel because it’s edgy and entertaining. 

Although, Gone with the Wolf consists of common elements found in paranormal romance novels, it was the portrayal of the characters and their interactions that makes the storyline so intriguing. The heroine, Emelia Hudson, is strong willed and feisty.  Her venture to reclaim the deed to her business from Drake, the owner of Wilder Financial, leads to behaviors that are over-the- top and often added a nice touch of humor. One moment "Emelia wanted him to hear her out...." and the next " Emelia stared into Drake's warm, mocha-toned eyes..." (29). The tension between Drake and Emelia continued as they dealt with their conflict and strong physical attraction for one another. As often seen with strong-willed characters, she gets emotional, reacts, and finds herself in dangerous predicaments. As an alpha male, Drake Wilder is a likable and debonair character who likes to be in control, but he soon finds that Emelia likes to maintain a sense of independence.  

I recommend this novel for Adults (18+) who enjoy edgy, sensual novels with a touch of humor.

Rating-5/5

I received a copy of Gone with the Wolf from Entangled publishing for my honest review.
