from the author's site:
A fine line between fear and desire…
Escaping from bloodthirsty vampires, Belladonna Reynolds ran straight into the arms of a werewolf. As a man, Severo drew her in with his dark good looks; as a beast he astounded her with his insatiable sensual appetite. Whether afraid or aroused, Bella fled to his lair when threatened by an evil monster of the night….
And between hatred and love…
Severo tried to keep Bella—his mate—safe from the vampiress who held a malicious desire for revenge against him—but he alone wasn’t enough. How could he desire the very thing he’d spent his life destroying? And even if hedid, what would the werewolf do to Bella on the next full moon?

my thoughts:
I love Michele Hauf's books. She just has a way with her characters that pulls you in to the story and makes you care about what happens. Initially I wasn't sure what to think of Severo as the hero because in The Highwayman he isn't a terribly likable character. I got over my hesitation pretty quickly because he is one HOT werewolf, and this is coming from a girl with a preference for vampires.
Belladonna or Bella as she's usually called knows when to fight and when to stand down and let her werewolf do the fighting. I like that. I'm all for an independent heroine, but it drives me a little crazy when the heroine insists on independence to the point of unnecessarily putting herself in danger.
This book is hot and I should warn readers that some of the love scenes are not for the faint of heart. But if you can handle the spice and the paranormal nature of the romance then this is the book for you.
The romance happens quickly, but it's not hard to suspend your disbelief and just go with it. By the end of the book, I was right there with them as they fought to keep their love together. Michele Hauf is absolutely one of my must-read authors. I can't wait to read another book from her.
