Erotic Paranormal Romance

Upstate New York - Present Day

Baylor Quinn is the only one without a mate and he hates it. Will he ever find his mate? The one woman or man out there just for him? As a matter of fact...he does find her. Fellow packmate Stefan Aragat shows Baylor a paper and says, "I think I found you a woman." Baylor reads the article and thinks they are making fun of him, when in reality...they are dead serious. A woman who is stuck in mid-change, (just like Stefan was in WOLF TALES I) is in need of Baylor's help and he plans to do just that. When he arrives, everyone is very protective of the young woman so Baylor decides a little detective work is in order. He finds Manda and explains he's there to help her. He isn't ready for the punch in his gut of overwhelming emotion that he feels for her. It will take time, patience, and a whole lot of cold showers before Baylor will learn if she's his mate and Chanku or not.

Amanda "Manda" Smith suffers daily in the form she is stuck in. After being brutally raped, Manda was in mid-shift when she simply shut down. She doesn't have a clue that she's Chanku, nor does she know how to shift into wolf form or total human form. When Baylor enters her apartment and her life, everything changes. He's kind, doesn't make a move on her, even though she can sense his desire for her, and he tells her such unbelievable things. Could she really be a Chanku as Baylor claims? Will she ever be able to have sex with the man she's growing to love? Good question...And another thing, she's about to meet Jake and Shannon, Baylor's packmates and lovers. Sharing? Loving all together? Hmm...can she handle that?

Father to Tia and leader of The Pack, Ulrich Mason hasn't felt desire in a long time, not since the death of his wife, Camille. When Anton asks Ulrich to bring Millie West over (teaching her the Chanku ways and how to shift), he isn't really sure that it's what he wants to do. He does it anyway and when he meets Millie, Ulrich is hit with a rush of heat and lust-filled desire. It's all he can do not to throw her down on the ground and ride her all night long. Millie West doesn't know what to think about the sexy man that Anton Cheval sends to check out the wolf sanctuary and all the work she's doing there. One thing she does know...she wants him...bad. And if she's not mistaken, the feeling's mutual. Is there a future for these two? Is Millie a Chanku and if so, is she ready to accept all that entails?

In WOLF TALES V, our hero finally finds his mate. Baylor captivated me when he first arrived on the scene in one of the earlier books and he's never been far from my thoughts. When I discovered this was his story, I danced with joy. And to learn that his mate was not a true beauty in the beginning made it even better. That meant my Baylor wasn't all about the outside packaging, but instead looked towards the inner beauty of Manda. These two are hot together and when they finally consummate their relationship...whew baby! Get out the fire extinguisher and be ready to douse the flames that erupt from the pages. Ulrich and Millie also heat up the sheets and there's a secret that Ulrich learns from Millie's past, that has a connection to Baylor and his mate, Manda. Talk about some interesting details, Ms. Douglas blends them in seamlessly. Secondary characters who make an appearance throughout the story are; Jake and Shannon, who are instrumental in helping Baylor break down Manda's barriers, Anton and his mate, Keisha; and Stefan and his mate, Alexandria or Lexie as everyone calls her.

Shapeshifters, steamy erotic sex, mysteries to be uncovered and solved, and some intriguing characters are what readers will find as they open up the pages of Ms. Douglas's latest Wolf Tales Saga book, WOLF TALES V.
