Weekly names Heart of the Wolf by Terry Spear one of its Best Books of the Year!!!
ISBN: 9781402211577
While searching for clues of a lupus garou who
is killing women in the rainy Portland
suburbs, Bella Wilder becomes the hunted. She had run away from the gray pack
who had taken her in when she was she young. And she will do so again before
the brutish pack leader can have her.
Devlyn Greystoke has a mission—return Bella
to the gray pack for safekeeping before she exposes their kind and gets herself killed.
But little red wolves are in short supply and high demand and Bella’s determined to be the bait to flush out
the killer. Keeping her out of danger is only half the trouble Devlyn encounters
as his compulsion to make her his mate grows and she fights being his, fearful the pack leader will kill him.
Volan Smith, the gray alpha
leader, claimed Bella when she was young. Now that he has located her, he wants
Bella back. And he will stop at nothing to have her.

Heart of the Wolf Terry
Spear. Sourcebooks/Casablanca, $6.99 (384p) ISBN 978−1−4022−1157−7
Red werewolf Bella flees her
adoptive pack of gray werewolves when the alpha male Volan tries forcibly to claim her as his mate. Her real love, beta male
Devlyn, has been out of her life for years, but comes after her when she finds herself accidentally captured by humans. Bella
becomes convinced that Devlyn only wants to return her to Volan, but soon realizes that Devlyn loves her as much as she loves
him, and is willing to fight Volan to the death to claim her. That problem pales, however, as a pack of red werewolves takes
to killing human females in a crazed quest to claim Bella for their own. Bella and Devlyn must defeat the rogue wolves before
Devlyn's final confrontation with Volan. The vulpine couple's chemistry
crackles off the page, but the real strength of the book lies in Spear's depiction of pack power dynamics, as well as in the
details of human−wolf interaction. Her wolf world feels at once palpable and even plausible. (Apr.)

This action-packed, fast-paced adventure was a page turner that
moves from moment to moment with an interesting subplot involving a murdering
red werewolf, which is resolved in an unexpected way. As we move from the wilds
of Oregon to the city of Portland to the zoo (yes, the zoo… and a funny story
that is!) we are given a glimpse into a love that is amazing in it’s intensity
as Bella and Devlyn fight for the right to be together. Terry Spear is a
fabulous voice in the supernatural genre, and I look forward to more from this
author. A fun, rather intense read that will keep your interest till the last
page.~~Review by Viscaria, Long

New
Review!!! Simply Romance Reviews GRADE: A
Heart of the Wolf is an outstanding read! Loaded with steamy, naughty sex its hot enough to scorch the pages and
make you hot all over! Keep something cool nearby because you’re going to need it! Like a freezer maybe. Devlyn is a
werewolf any woman would want, and if she didn’t—she’s dead. He also learns the truth about redheads—the
hair is a warning—things could get too hot to handle. ~Reviewed by Melisa

5 Angels & Recommended Read~~Fallen Angel Reviews!!
Heart
of the Wolf by Terry Spear
is a fantastic new addition to the popular trend of shape shifter stories. I loved this story, not only does Ms. Spear
draw the reader into the lives of Bella and Devlyn and the other people they interact with but she has painstakingly researched
the behavior of real wolves in the wild to add realism to the behavior of the werewolves in their wolf form and pack behavior.
Normally I don’t find shape shifter stories humorous unless it is intended to be a kind of spoof, but this story has
a humorous streak running through it. There is a human man who wants to rescue the wolf form of Bella and place her in a zoo
for her protection and he is relentless in his pursuit to save the stray red wolf. This man keeps complicating Bella’s
situation and adds some funny dilemmas for Bella and Devlyn to work around and right in the midst of all of their life threatening
problems. Heart of the Wolf is full of action, adventure, suspense, and romance and is one of best werewolf stories
I’ve read. I hope this is just the first book of a new series because I would love to read more by Ms. Spear
about the wolf packs introduced in this tale. There are plenty of great secondary characters that would make interesting spin
offs for another book. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good paranormal, romantic suspense, and shape shifter
story!

HEART OF THE WOLF Terry Spear
4 Stars HOT
A solidly crafted werewolf story, this tale centers on pack problems in a refreshingly straightforward way.
The characters are well drawn and believable, which makes the contemporary plotline of this story of love and life
among the lupus garou seem, well, realistic. ~~

from the first page to the last, wanting to know how everything will turn out. I love how Ms. Spear has
intertwined true attributes of wolves to make the werewolf world come alive. Bella and Devlyn’s devotion
to each other is endearing. Their love scenes sizzle the pages … definitely hot! I

Enchanting romance with a unique twist! The characters were so well developed and the writing
so superior that it felt real to me, my reactions were as if I was a part of the story. If that’s not a sign of a good
book, what is? ~~The Romance Studio

enjoyed the werewolf society politics and the red/gray
wolf interaction. Also, how "wolf-like" the characters
were, even when in human form :-) Really well done.
