Bev(QB)’s review of Riding the Wolf by Carol Lynne
Paranormal gay romance short story ebook published 31 Oct 2007 by Ellora’s Cave
This story felt rushed, which can be expected with the short Ellora’s Cave Quickie format. However, considering that their families separated Eli and Daylon fifteen years earlier, the open-armed and open-minded acceptance of their relationship by their families and most of the pack seemed too sudden. The story would have been better served by eliminating a couple of erotic scenes (Whoa! Did I just say that out loud?!) in order to explore the evolution of this acceptance.
Nevertheless, I’m recommending Riding the Wolf as a quick, hot read.
Grade: C
From EC:
After fifteen years Daylon Glover is coming home to the town of Crunup, Wisconsin. Back to the were haven founded a hundred years ago. Back to the one person who is his true mate.Eli Withers, the soon-to-be Alpha of the Crunup pack, married young to please his Alpha father. Now, fifteen years later, he is divorced and still in love with his best friend and true mate.
When Daylon walks back into Eli’s life, how will they be able to resist the call of their inner wolves? Is the Crunup pack ready for a gay Alpha? Or will Eli once again sacrifice his and Daylon’s happiness for the sake of the pack?

Drop by my personal blog, Cubie’s Confections. It’s the often bawdy, and not always work safe, musings of a pervy old broad with opinions about books, chocolate, and eye candy (you know– the important stuff), and who is convinced that hot flashes burn away brain cells.
