Maybe not as strong as her mother or
grandmother, Claudia Hughes however is a natural psychic. So
when her intuition tells her to drive towards Rhode Island
instead of her intended destination, Claudia switches
course.
Old enough to vaguely remember the
Middle Ages, James O’Connell of the Lycan clan O’Connell, is
on a hunt. His father, the King, has given James the task
of hunting down an evil rogue Lycan named Meghan who is
biting and killing young women as she travels the entire
country.
James catches Meghan’s scent but is too
late to stop her from biting Claudia. Most humans die when
bit, very few survive to become Lycans as the process is
painful and brutal. James tends to Claudia as her body
changes giving them time to start caring and perhaps sharing
their hearts with each other. The moon is full, Meghan is
spotted once again, the hunt is back on and it is time for
Claudia to either change into a wolf or die in the attempt,
breaking James’ heart.
Enough back-story is presented so that
Call of Temptation is easily a stand-alone
book, though I would recommend not missing the others in
this series. Call of Temptation has exciting
battles, really hot sex and a wonderful alpha. One small
wrinkle for me is that though I understand Claudia is
psychic and perhaps more accepting of supernatural beings,
she is way too complacent about letting a virtual stranger
cart her all over the place with barely a squeak. Aside
from that, author Michelle M. Pillow again
gives us her first rate writing talent with a strong, steady
plot, solid characters, juicy sex and an exciting finish. |
