Blurb/Summary:

Book Two in the Coyote Hunger Series.

Brogan Wilder knows all about animal urges. As a coyote shifter, he’s lived with them all his life but he’s never experienced the bone-deep hunger Eloise Crawford elicits. Claiming a mate is one thing. Claiming one who’s human and has no idea shifters exist is another matter altogether. In El, he’s found his destiny. Now he just has to convince her they are meant to be together.

A visit to help her best friend with wedding plans seems like just the kind of relaxation El is after. But once she arrives, there’s nothing relaxing about the reaction she has to her friend’s brother. Suddenly her senses are on high alert and she’s drawn to him in a way she finds nothing short of terrifying. But there’s more to this man than his golden eyes and magical touch. There’s something else. Something not exactly human.

Accepting her fate should have been the difficult part, but when El finds herself the target of an outraged pack member, the true struggle begins.

Review:

Coyote Wild is a delightful paranormal shifter story. By the time I finished it, I was panting for more. My only complaint: I wish it was longer! I didn't want the story to end.

I fell in love with Brogan and his compassion. He made for a wonderful coyote shifting hero. The situation El found herself in, just by coming to visit her best friend who is getting married, and she accepts her fate well.

The cover is absolutely beautiful. This story is the second in the Coyote Hunger Series, but a first time read for me by this author. Though I can promise that it won't be the last. Rhian Cahill is an exceptional author who writes a fast paced, intriguing book.

Any reader who enjoys shifters should not miss Coyote Wild.

Blurb: “Dangerous. Why?

Do you think I can’t take every delicious inch of you? Do you think I can’t handle you?”

He blinked, astonished by this statement and apparently at a loss for words. It was, she had to admit, the single cheesiest thing she’d ever said aloud. She watched him trying to figure out how best to react, while at the same time maintaining that stern, “we aren’t going to have sex, no-way, no-how” attitude.

The longer they looked at one another without saying anything, the harder it was to keep a straight face. She couldn’t say who broke under pressure first, but suddenly both of them were laughing uncontrollably. She collapsed forward in hysterics, her forehead dropping against his chest.

A few seconds later, she realized he’d gone completely still.

He pounced.

Review:

Where do I start?

In a world intentionally kept separate from our own, the Kith, wolf shape-shifters, mate for life like all wolves do. So what happens when that partnership is divided by death?

The internal struggle the hero goes through being attracted to the person who has, to all intents and purposes, just murdered his potential mate in cold blood, and the self loathing those feelings produce is felt acutely by this reader. This empathy is mirrored in the confusion and revulsion the murderer feels upon seeing what they have done to another living creature. So why on earth would they ever be attracted to each other, even just sexually?

Add to this mix the possessive human ex-lover, hell bent on seeing them both dead, and the result is a high paced, adrenaline fueled battle for survival.

This is a really great book. A well written and well edited page turner. Even though you kind of think you sort of know what might be going on as you read it, it really doesn’t give too much away at the beginning.

The subtitle, Legacy of the White Wolf Book One suggests a great start to this series, and I can’t wait to read the rest!
