About This Book
When werewolf blogger Kate Stillman agrees to debate the charismatic Scottish werewolf Duncan MacDowell on the politically charged question of werewolf-human integration, she's ready to defend her traditionalist views with everything she has. What she's not ready for is how dangerously attractive her opponent turns out to be — a werewolf who, inconveniently, seems to prefer human women. The tension between ideological conflict and undeniable chemistry gives this story a sharper edge than your average paranormal romance, because the stakes aren't just personal. They're political, cultural, and deeply felt.
Vicki Lewis Thompson writes with a breezy wit that keeps pages turning, but what distinguishes this installment of the Wild About You series is how cleverly the romantic conflict and the thematic conflict are fused into one. The debate structure isn't just window dressing — it shapes the entire push-and-pull dynamic between Kate and Duncan, giving their relationship genuine friction and momentum. Thompson's world-building here has a playful internal logic, complete with rival werewolf organizations and acronyms that land their jokes without winking too hard at the reader.
