To Tempt the Wolf by Terry Spear
Summary: In this third in the series, wildlife photographer Tessa Anderson must prove her brother innocent of murder charges. But when she discovers a gorgeous naked man barely alive on her beach, she's got a new world of troubles to deal with, not least of which is how he affects her with just a look, a touch, or a whispered word.
Hunter Greymore is a lupus garou, a grey werewolf. Hoping to keep a low profile at Tessa's cabin on the coast, he's drawn into her life—and into her bed. His animal instincts war with his human half, but in the end, the only thing he can do about this fascinating, adorable woman is to leave her forever —unless she becomes one of them.
Review: Oh Hunter was dreamy! Dev is still my favorite male, but Hunter was pretty darn close. And I liked Tessa a lot as a female. She seemed pretty strong and clear-headed which is always nice when you're reading about the mate of an alpha. I thought Meara was interesting too. I would be curious to read her story if she gets one. The only thing I wasn't super big on was how chill Hunter, Ashton, and Rourke seemed to be together considering they all had some kind of physical relationship with Tessa. Other than that, I thought this was a very well done book and I can't wait to keep reading this series.

Cloaked by Alex Flinn
Summary: I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked. Review: I like Alex Flinn's books. I can't wait to read what else she has to give us. Granted, I've only read a few of her books. Cloaked was really good. Not my favorite. I think Beastly is still my favorite for now, but Cloaked was really good. I kind of liked Johnny as a character, but Meg was more likable in my opinion. I don't know how I feel about everyone accepting magic as easily in this book. In Beastly and A Kiss in Time, the characters still hid what they did and how they did it because they knew that no one would believe them. At the same time, it helps the story progress much faster so I didn't get too bogged down by it. I was confused when I first picked up this book though. The title makes me think of Little Red Riding Hood. Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was going to be a re-vamped version of Red's story. I was in no way disappointed though. I thought the story was interesting and the characters were likable. Even Ryan, the jerky "friend" of Johnny's. I'm not quite sure they really were friends, but that's just me. Magic was a more obvious focus of this book but, in the other two books I read, it was just love breaking a spell. Witches helped and hurt Johnny as he tried to fulfill his quest. Another great story from Alex's brilliant mind. 4 howls
