The last thing Colin McDowell wants is to inherit his Aunt Geraldine's mansion in the San Juan islands off the coast of Washington. As the pack leader of the Trevelyans in Scotland, he has little time to travel halfway around the world to take care of his inheritance. But the trip takes a pleasant turn when he meets Luna Reynaud, the young secretary his aunt hired shortly before she died. He isn't sure which surprises him more-Luna's clever plan for turning the mansion into a resort, or the fact that she's drop-dead gorgeous. Both intrigue him-until he learns that Luna is only a half-breed. There's no way a pack leader can mate with a woman who's partly human . . . or is there?… (mer)

The product of a werewolf father and a human mother, it wasn't until puberty that the heroine realized what she was. As such, there was no one to teach her what to expect and she endured the frightening change on her own. Now, she's involved herself in the running of a grand household, surrounded by other female werewolves yet completely ignorant of the male sex. When her employer dies and her grandson takes up ownership of the island, she knows she must convince him to let her turn his grandmothers home into a retreat, it's the only way to save her job and the jobs of the older women on site. When she meets the hero, she's immediately and latterly struck mute by his beauty. She's never before seen anything quite like him before. The hero has responsibilities and despite the guilt he feels over the distance he put between him and his grandmother, he knows he can't stay in Seattle. But the heroine is making things extremely difficult for him. He agrees to her plans to turn the island into a hotel because he does think it'll make a profit, but also because it will allow him to spend what little time he has with her. And the idea makes her happy and something about her easy and innocent demeanor makes him want to see her smile. So from this point on the plot line which I quite enjoyed at first takes a series nose dive into stupidity. Basically...there is no plot. The characters freak like rabbits at every possible opportunity with zero passion and with both of them talking nonsense for the duration. The sex scenes, for being so frequent, were too light hearted and PG to be anywhere near interesting. I also had no connection to either the hero or the heroine as characters. The heroine I thought did a complete 180, going from a girl who was no innocent of sex that she didn't know how to kiss to being the sex crazed manic who latterly begs the hero for some dick. I thought the hero was dull and lifeless with a personally that was far too easy going. Neither of them had any depth or and dark to the light and airy tone of the whole story. I was quite disappointed with this book as the first novel I read in the series was very good and I thought I had a sure winner here but no such luck. ( )

Kind of like a Harlequin, light and fluffy and easy to read and not hard to follow - candy. The one in Denver follows the previous in the series of first the elder brother than the younger brother's story. ( )

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first or second book. There were several amusing moments because of Luna's weird sex questions, but I just didn't feel as good about this story as the last. I also didn't believe the mad-to-sad emotional response of the villain, George, in this story. ( )

Werewolf in Seattle is a fun, flirty book that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Paranormal chick lit seems to be the underdog in preternatural fiction but I for one can't understand why. Sure, the story line isn't exactly overflowing with profound meaning but, lets be honest, who expects an epic plot out of a book like this? Not me. What attracts me the most about this series is the high hotness factor, the easy-going plot and its overall cuteness of it all. This book is the perfect feel good read and when you throw in a couple of werewolves; I'm sold.

I found the author's name choice for her main character a little over the top. Not only is this a werewolf book but Thompson names her female protagonist Luna. Talk about over doing it in the stereotype department! Although, I must admit that one of the reasons why I love these novels so much is because of their corniness. Vicki actually does make a connection between the heroine's name and her mate later on which I liked. Anyway, name aside, I immensely enjoyed Luna as this tale's leading lady. She's driven, foxy and loyal; what's not to love! Her background story is pretty touching too. I didn't expect so much detail from this series but you won't here me complaining. Werewolf in Seattle delivered exactly what I was expecting with a few added bonuses. That's aces in my books! I was happy that there's a nice balance between the main female and male characters. They don't fall apart when their relationship goes awry which I found refreshing. Neediness is not an admirable trait to have.

Colin McDowell definitely lives up to his hunk status in this novel. I was über crushing on him from the get-go. The guy has a killer body, a smoking hot Scottish accent and a winning personality. Or, in other words, he's the whole package! Oh, and did I mention that he wears a kilt at one point? Yeah, h-o-t! I liked how he always took the time to think things through before making an important decision. His "wee man" is screaming mighty loudly at him on several occasions but he doesn't succumb to the heat of the moment. Now, you're probably thinking to yourself: "wait, what? that doesn't sound right". However, given Luna's past and the present circumstances his approach couldn't have been more perfect. Colin is exactly what miss Reynaud needs even if she doesn't know it yet.

This book has a little bit of everything in it. There's romance (obviously), werewolf politics, drama, and even a bit of intrigue. I have to say that this is my favorite installment in the Wild About You series so far. I don't think it's essential to read the books in order but I do like that the heroes from the different stories are brothers who are facing similar qualms. It might be a small connection but it is one nonetheless. Werewolf in Seattle's playful storyline and endearing characters are a winning combination that'll make you giggle and blush. Oh la la! ( )
