Wolf's Song
By Taryn Kincaid
A Black Wolves Story
Blurb:
Ten years ago, visions of death and the babble of
lupine voices in his head, drove lone wolf Brick Northridge to challenge his
cruel and greedy pack alpha. Beaten by the alpha’s thugs and banished from the
pack, Brick lives a life of seclusion in a mountain cabin in the Black Hills.
Born into a rival clan of feline shifters, skinwalker
Summer McCoy, in her guise as a raven, watches Brick from afar, giving him back
a reason to live through her sweet songs and special gifts.
But when her clan attempts to tear them apart and
threatens the pack that banished Brick so many years before, will their love be
strong enough to withstand the forces bent on their destruction?
Excerpt:
Summer McCoy perched in
the uppermost branches of her special Ponderosa pine,
in raven guise, engaging in her
favorite pastime, spying on the
lone wolf chopping wood below. Two days’ worth of
whiskers shadowed his rigid jaw. She
loved when he forgot—or didn’t bother—to shave. Scruffy stubble suited him.
The sun
beat down on the back
of his bronzed neck and shone
on his hair, the color of
roasted coffee, a shade lighter
than the dark shadow that charcoaled his face.
She fluffed her
feathers in anticipation. Take your shirt off,
Brick. She’d heard the
giant werebear, Gee,
call him that name a decade ago. He’d made some
joke about a wall and the hardness of the male’s head. But Brick
hadn’t laughed back then. Not ever.
He’d
fascinated her from the moment he’d arrived in the glade,
bruised and battered. Once she’d learned his
name, she’d treasured it, taking pleasure
from repeating it often. Secretly, of course. Unwrapping the
syllable frequently to admire its radiance in the privacy of her tree house, the way a
woman wearing pearls against her warm skin enhanced their luminosity and iridescence.
Now, as if he’d
heard her silent urging, he
complied with her plea, shrugging out of the plaid
flannel and flinging it onto a
tree stump. Her beak
opened as she sucked
in breath. Sweat glistened on his torso, glazing rippling pecs and abs, shoulders
broad enough to span the Badlands.
A huge, incredible specimen of masculinity. Thick biceps
flexed as he wielded the
ax. Her heart beat faster than a hummingbird’s
wings. Heat licked her.

My Review:
I've never read a Black Hills Wolves story before. I've wanted to so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. At first, I wasn't sure of the lingo - I was taken into an alternate world where shifters live. And although I've read shifter stories before, I didn't know what was going on at first. It intrigued me though. Summer, the bird shifter (or she's really a cat shifter) was so sweet and I adored her infatuation with Brick. Watching her love unfold and then his discovery of her womanhood was touching, hot and great fun to read. How romantic!
I love a wounded hero, and Brick was a great one - tough yet gentle, wounded yet powerful, and the chemistry and tenderness between them is beautiful. Taryn has a poetic voice - she uses words to paint pictures that touch the senses. You can't help being pulled in to the world she's created. Her writing is sassy yet touching. The sex scenes were smoking and satisfying.
I'm really keen to read all the books in this series - I love the paranormal part but what I also would like is to discover each character in the Black Hills. By the sounds of this book, there are many interesting characters and many potentials for deep conflict.
