Freya's Bower By Teresa D'Amario - Paranormal Romance BUY NOW A dangerously spirited heroine and a sexy hero combine to make one whirlwind of a read. Teresa D’Amario has crafted a fun, steamy debut! ~ Larissa Ione, multi-published author Teresa D'Amario has crafted a dynamic romance layered through with passion, provocation, and a mutual respect that is rare between fictional heroes and heroines. I'm especially in awe of this debut author's SheWolf - Anna sparkles with satisfyingly feminine strength! ~Emily Ryan-Davis Author of the Dragon Queen series
|
Right from the start the story engages you with complex characters who live and breathe right off the page. I wanted to keep following Anna and Kieran around and loved being entrenched in their world. Anna's struggles, although otherworldly, are still identifiable and you want to root for her to overcome her fears, struggles and go get her man! I loved how independent and strong she was while still allowing her femininity to rise to the surface....Very well written. Also what I loved about the story is how there's so much emotion. One minute you're on edge with fear, then excitement, then anger and then overcome with sadness. ~ Rae Lori Author of Cimmerian City

A small town veterinarian has a big time problem. She's not human. Plagued as a child with an extra-sensitive sense of smell, strength, and eyesight, Anna Callaway always thought she was special. But she didn't understand how special until she met Kieran Hunter. |
|
He insists they are True Mates, but he's not human either. He's wolven. Kieran is a protector of his race. No longer the Alpha of his pack, he spends his time searching out and punishing any who may reveal their race to humans. While patrolling, he finds two wolven about to kidnap Anna. He battles to protect her, but is surprised to find himself drawn to her in a way he never expected. The couple must learn to deal with their differences before they can address their similarities. But when three men kidnap Anna, she must decide if she is to embrace the wolven way of life, or return to her quiet existence. And whether to abandon the man who claims her as his True Mate.

Excerpt:
Anna plunged the hypodermic syringe into
the dog’s thigh muscle and slowly released the vaccine into the animal. The
large shepherd turned his head and glared at her over his shoulder, but made
no move to avoid her ministrations.
That’s what she liked about this dog. He
was old, and while he didn’t like getting his annual shots, he certainly
didn’t put up a fuss.
“Duke looks in great shape for his age,
Mrs. Kelfy.” She stood from her cramped position on the floor and picked up
her pen to sign the rabies certification. A tap on the door drew her
attention, and she turned toward it.
“Dr. Calloway, can I have a word with you?”
Jamie, her newly of-age assistant, stood in
the doorway, an odd expression on her face.
“In a minute, Jamie. I’m almost finished
here.” It was unusual for her assistants to interrupt her with a patient, so
it must be important.
“Here you are, Mrs. Kelfy. Give one pill
twice per day for ten days and bring him back in a week so we can check on
that cut to make sure it’s healed up ok.” Poor Duke had argued with a barbed
wire fence and lost. A little unusual for the big guy, who was already
thirteen years old. He was long past the days of dangerous curiosity that
plagued young dogs.
“Poor Duke,” the woman said.
“He’ll be fine. Duke’s strong, and even
though he’s getting older, he’s still healthy. Just give him the antibiotics,
and he’ll heal up beautifully.”
The dog’s owner nodded and thanked her,
then left to pay the bill. Anna headed to the back rooms to talk to her
assistant.
“What’s up, Jamie?”
Jamie bit her lip. “There’s this guy, in
room three….”
“Ok, where’s the records?” Jamie’s smelled
sharp, edgy. Confused. “What’s the problem?”
“That’s just it, Doc. There’s no problem.
He didn’t even bring a pet with him. He said it was for a consultation on his
wolf, and he booked the entire afternoon.”
“He did what?” The word wolf sent up red
flags everywhere. Her assistant went on.
“He booked the entire afternoon appointment
block.”
Kieran.
Who else would be so blatant? If he thought he was getting away cheap, he had
another thing coming. “Thanks, Jamie. I’ll take care of it.”
She stormed to the room and opened the
door.
He stood at the aluminum exam table, a
magazine open in front of him, his weight propped on his hands as though
engrossed in his reading. Though worn and faded, his jeans appeared in good
repair. The seams in the shoulders of his black t-shirt stretched to
accommodate his powerful chest and biceps. Then her gaze traveled to his face
and the dark, hungry, blue eyes that watched her. She swallowed, trying to
ease the sudden case of dryness in her throat.
She caught a glimpse of black, square-toed
boots on his feet. She’d bet there was a motorcycle out in the parking lot.
His scent wafted toward her, spicy and wild. Anna bit her lip. It wouldn’t do
to let him know just how sexy she found him.
Folding her arms in front of her, she
glared at him. “What are you doing here?”
His gaze held hers, a slight quirk to his
mouth.
“I’m here for a consultation. Didn’t your
assistant tell you?”
“Yes, she told me.”
“Good. But before we get down to work,
let’s have some lunch.”
She glanced at her watch. Lunch was
normally at one o’clock, and it was now twelve thirty. “You can’t just blaze
in here and take over my appointments, Kieran. I have patients, and they need
me.”
“Not today, you don’t. I bought all your
time, so you have nothing to worry about.” He spoke over her attempted
interruption. “And if you have any emergencies, your very efficient staff can
call you.”
Her eyes rolled, and she groaned in
frustration. He’d left her alone for three days. Three long days to absorb
everything he’d told her. Sometimes she still wondered if it was all a dream
and she’d really been drugged after all. Yet the instant she saw him it all
tumbled back. Every memory. The wolf, the fight, but most of all, every touch.
That brief kiss still burned in her blood.
Realistically, there was no reason to fight
it. Except he wasn’t human. For the first time in her life, she was truly
attracted to someone. And why shouldn’t I enjoy it? Besides, the
scientist was fascinated almost as much as the woman.
He waited while she debated in her head,
his eyes filled with humor. There it was again, the strange feeling that he
could read her thoughts. She certainly hoped not.
“Fine, let me just close up here.”
He nodded, and she headed into the back
rooms of the clinic.
“Jamie,” she called, but the girl popped
around the corner, a huge smile on her face.
“Right here.”
Anna raised a brow. “Eavesdropping again?”
Her assistant laughed. “What can I say?
It’s my best talent.”
Anna chuckled. “Then I guess I don’t have
to tell you I’m done for the day, thanks to Kieran. Call me if there are any
emergencies.”
She took off her white doctor’s coat and
hung it on the rack. Whoever’d chosen white for doctors had a vindictive
streak. She went through lab coats faster than she went through dog treats.
She snatched a roller with tape on it and cleared any dog hair from her slacks
before heading back to Kieran. If she was going to investigate these feelings,
she might as well look good.
