GENRE: Werewolf Paranormal
BLURB:
A reluctant werewolf, the man who turned her, and the prophecy that brought them together. Volatile Wisconsin werewolves wrestle with messy emotions and Norse mythological forces in this paranormal romance.
Thea never thought accepting a date with the office hottie would wind up with her being turned into a werewolf. After months of struggle and unmasked rage, she’s finally ready to step back into her human life. She’s absolutely done with having to rely on him, and she never wants to see him again.
Syver has been a werewolf for most of his life, and he’s been well in control of his wolf side for years. When he accidentally turns Thea in a moment of passion, he accepts that she’s angry with him. The only thing he can do is teach her what she needs to know about being a mánagarmr and the forces of nature they embody.
Despite everything he’s done to her, Thea still can’t resist Syver’s touch, and his knowledge of that fact makes him unbearably arrogant. Syver can’t seem to think straight or control himself whenever Thea is around, putting them both in danger.
Can these two werewolves learn to control the chaos within them before someone ends up dead?
EXCERPT:
She was letting go; he could see it in her eyes. Her brown eyes, golden with amber, held the sorrow of the death of something great. She was slipping out of his reach.
No.
He stood from the kitchen chair he sat in and took a step toward her, resting his hands on her waist. She didn’t loosen in his arms, but she didn’t push him away either.
“I won’t give up so easily,” he said with a self-assured smile, the one he knew set her heart to racing. “You want to find your footing? Get a feel for your new claws? All right. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because you don’t see me, I’m not there. You’re going to have to do more than that to get rid of me.”
Lowering his face slowly down to hers, giving her enough time to pull away, he kissed her gently on the mouth. “If you want me gone,” he whispered, his lips not an inch from hers. “Then you better make me believe it.”
He felt the tension in her limbs ease, and he smiled at the effect he had on her. She still wants me.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
D. Lieber has a wanderlust that would make a butterfly envious. When she isn’t planning her next physical adventure, she’s recklessly jumping from one fictional world to another. Her love of reading led her to earn a Bachelor’s in English from Wright State University.
Beyond her skeptic and slightly pessimistic mind, Lieber wants to believe. She has been many places—from Canada to England, France to Italy, Germany to Russia—believing that a better world comes from putting a face on “other.” She is a romantic idealist at heart, always fighting to keep her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds.
Lieber lives in Wisconsin with her husband (John) and cats (Yin and Nox).

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
I enjoyed this story. An accidental turning, anger, and steamy chemistry had Thea and Syver struggling with their feelings. It was entertaining to watch Syver fight his feelings as well has have problems expressing himself. He was very protective of Thea as well as a bit smug. Thea began to hold her own and tried to make sense of her new life, yet she could not control her reactions to Syver. I liked the bits of Norse mythology brought in to explain the origins, things I had not known before. A very interesting story.
