Rutledge Werewolves

I didn't realize this was a great read until I opened this book. Now I have to read all the companion books in the series. I just love them.

Good Read

This was just a fun good read. I have read a better book and a worse one. Those of us who read this type of book just want to sit back and enjoy a little down time and are not looking for the next great novel, which I have already read.

Wonderfully funny, hot. Those "Rutledge" men are a woman's dream come true. This series is GREAT!!!!

A strong, emotional read

For one night Sophie Briggs throws caution to the wind and has a one night stand with a handsome drummer. Six weeks later, she's looking at a pregnancy test and knows she has to contact the father. Artemais Rutledge, as Alpha Werewolf for his pack, has been searching for his True Mate for many years. He thinks he's found her in Sophie, and when he learns her news, knows he has for sure. But will she accept his shape changing nature, and can he make her his mate in every way? Scent of Passion brings a strong, emotional tale to the vast list of werewolf stories. Unlike most were stories, dealing with the change and angst, I found Artemais and his brothers to be refreshingly normal and accepting of their werewolf heritage. Instead, the author brings together two strong individuals and lets the spark collide. I did think Sophie accepted Artemais' werewolf nature a bit too quickly and without much thought on her own, though an earlier dream foreshadowed this acceptance, and she still proves to be a strong heroine more than capable of matching wits with her werewolf lover. Artemais proves single-minded in his determination to make Sophie his mate, which creates some great scenes between him, his brothers, and even those around town. One subplot involving another werewolf seemed a bit unnecessary, for while good, the subplot lacked the space necessary to successfully resolve the situation, and added little to the romance. Still, the werewolf's situation paralleled the characters' as well, and I simply wish more time would have been devoted to that character's emotional growth. Still, this book creates a powerful, emotional read with vibrant, real characters. A very good book.
