Claiming the She Wolf - Louisa Bacio



Claiming the She Wolf
By Louisa Bacio 


 

Now that Tala Graystone’s brother has decided to leave the nest, she is determined to restore the bed and breakfast. It will keep her occupied and after all, it could use a woman’s touch, or maybe even a wolf’s touch. However, now she has found that she requires a little help, because she cannot do this alone.

Yas Collins feels beckoned by Black Hills, South Dakota. He himself has a background in construction.  Once he finds himself there, the town doesn’t seem very welcoming of him, however he does seem to find work at Tala’s. 

I loved the part when she shows him to his room, and he looks at the walls, which are lavender, and he says, this doesn’t look like it would be for me, it looks like it would be a room for you. And she tells him it is the best room in the house, and that it is her room. They exchange glances. And you can, as you read just feel the aura as you read it. 

The drawing of them wanting and yearning in the very beginning, the desire is there, but you know how people, (and apparently wolves) we play it cool in the beginning.
They find themselves meeting glances, and finding their desires and cravings, and getting to know one another. 


Not only do they work on the bed and breakfast, but they build a relationship with one another. I loved how playful they were, silly, and fun loving. This made me smile a lot. I actually found myself smiling and giggling quite a lot through out this book. 

It is very romantic book, truly helps you to see that love can prevail in the long run, so long as you work at it. But the book also shows you, that the outside world always likes to put there two sense in, and to just ignore it, and them and love will prevail.

I give this book five starts, when a book makes you smile while reading it, it is truly worthy of reading again and again!



Now my questions for Lousia:

1.) the characters do you have any photos or descriptions to provide for us to imagine or see who they are?

Attached are images I used when writing the book. (Did not come through, I apologize.~Deneale)

2.) what made you write this delicious book?

The idea of the shared world of Black Hills Wolves intrigued me. Writing with the established world and guidelines added another challenge. The characters also came to life pretty fast.

3.) what are you working on now?

Nothing! Seriously, I just submitted a new novella in a series two days ago. I’ve already started on book two. But, tomorrow is another story, lol.

Winter Solstice Ménage – which features Yas’s sister Sugar, came out recently. I have a third book with Tala’s brother planned.  

In my Sex University series, I’m waiting for book 3, “The Master Class,” a F/F/M that I’ve been wanting to share for a long time! (2016)

4.) Aside from writing, what other hobbies do you have?

Primarily, spending time with my family. On top of that, we have a slew of pets that require plenty of love and attention. I’m talking about dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish tanks and on and on.

5.) how long did it take you to write this book?

I had five months to write the books. Yes, that seems like a LONG time. I probably took all of it, and then some. Some thing I tend to write fast. It doesn’t always feel that way to me.

6.) out of all your own books- which one is your favorite?

Ah, woman! It’s an impossible question! The boys in Winter Solstice Ménage are hot-hot-hot. For the longest time, it was Nick from The Vampire, the Witch & The Werewolf novels. Now, maybe Tyler. 

(I liked the green cock!)



7.) any tips for new writers?
There’s a meme about how other writers are not our competition. Make friends with others who understand. Plus bloggers and readers are your friends. They may be shy. Even if you are, make yourself as approachable as possible.


8.) please share with us all of your sites, info and where we can learn all about you:

Any extra info you'd like to add or share:

Find your joy in life. It’s different for everyone. What brings you happiness? Embrace it, and share it with others.

Werewolf Nights by Mari Hamill

Werewolf Nights 
by 
Mari Hamill


Before I even begin, allow me to inform you, that "Werewolf Nights" is in fact one of the most retweeted books in Los Angeles. This I learned VIA www.evancarmichael.com Mari Hamil's twitter handle is @MariHamill which ranks number 97 of the top 100 for December 2014. Check it our for yourself! I thought that would be something interesting and note worthy of sharing with my readers and followers!

Now onto my review: 

The lovely Catherine Mercy never thought she would find love ever again. Many of us have thought this a time or two, but than love always finds a way in, doesn't it, and always when we least expect it?

 Compliments of Catherine's financial difficulties, she finds herself led to 'Wolfen Manor,' where she was forbidden to visit because a werewolf lives there. Words often said to her by her own Grandmother.

Greg, who plays a Wolfen in a Movie, and is also a real wolfen, ends up being someone Catherine feels drawn to, and her heart opening up to. Is she certain this is what she wants? Should she fight it? What will she do?

Steve, Catherines friend is an expert on Werewolves. He lends an ear, and is there for her, but from time to time, she just doesn't seem to want to take it all in, or so it seems.

To complicate the story even more so, the husband Catherine had once thought to be dead- Frank is now alive and a werewolf bounty hunter. He himself has been hired to kill Greg the Wolfenn during the full moon. 

This story is written very well, and seems like a fairy tale, and that it would make a most excellent movie. 

It has everything to keep you wanting more, drawing you further into the story lines, curious with each line, in what direction the story will take, and what Catherine will do.

I give this book five stars, as I very much enjoyed it, and would strongly recommend it to others! It was truly worthy of my time! 

Here are my interview questions for Mari!





1. What made you decide to write this book?



I wanted to tell a tale that would entertain and bring joy to others.



2. How long did it take you to write this book?



It took me around three years to write the novel. Throughout the process, I worked part-time as a teacher and in many other odd jobs.



3. Who did the beautiful artistic cover on your book?



Puerto Rican artist Ivonne Falcón.



4. How long have you been writing?



I’ve been reading and writing all my life. During my studies, I did mostly theoretical and philosophical writing, but as soon as I earned my PhD, I switched to fiction.



5. What made you decide to become a writer?



Stories kept cluttering my head and I needed to get them out.



6. Is writing your passion?



Absolutely! I think about it every day. It drives me to get up in the morning and keeps me up at night.



7. What are your future writing plans?



I’m working on the sequel of Werewolf Nights and on a screenplay about the dating culture in Los Angeles.



8. Who is/are you favorite Author(s)?



That’s a tough one. Knut Hamsun’s Hunger was fantastic, and I love the book, the movie, and the screenplay of The Princess Bride by William Goldman.





9. What are your hobbies?



Yoga, dancing, good conversation, and swimming in the ocean.





10. What all education have you had?



I have a BA from Harvard in English, a DEA from the Sorbonne Nouvelle in comparative literature, and a PhD from the University of Michigan, also in comparative literature.
