Series: Takhini Wolves
Their wolves are howling at the moon. Their human halves are on different planets.
Lone wolf Shaun Stevens’s automatic response to the words “happily ever after”? Kill me now. Yet with all his friends settling down he’s begun to think there may actually be something to this love-and-roses crap.
One thing’s for sure: his dream mate will have to out-cuss, out-spit and out-hike him. So he never expected the one to push his forever button would be a blue-blooded Southern debutante with a voice as dark and velvety as her skin.
When Gemmita Jacobs steps off the plane in Whitehorse, Yukon, it’s about more than her caribou research project. It’s her declaration of independence from an overprotected upbringing. Except there’s something in the air she can’t quite define—something that unexpectedly rouses her mating instincts.
Moments after their eyes lock, the deed is done—and done thoroughly. When the pheromone dust settles, though, all the reasons they don’t belong together become painfully clear.
It’s enough to make a wolf learn a whole new set of cuss words…
- My Review -
Gemmita "Gem" Jacobs might seem like a southern bell, but she's got quite more on her side than charm and etiquette. Attempting to gain independence from her dictating father she plans a trip to the Yukon to study the caribou. Within a day of landing in the Yukon, Gem and her not so quiet wolf have messed up. She's forgotten to inform the alpha, Eric or her presence, then practically jumps him when she gets scent of her mate, and then if everything couldn't be worse Eric's not actually it. As the first book in the Takhini Wolves series, Black Gold by Vivian Arend promises readers a captivated read as Gem journeys into the wilderness of the Yukon.Shaun Stevens' a pilot by trade has been having a rough time recently. Lonely as all heck, since all of his friends are mated, Shaun is looking for trouble and trouble seems to find him. When he becomes extremely intoxicated with the help of a secret moonshine made by Eric, his memory begins to fade in and out. The trouble you ask? Waking up next to a beautiful women, whom his wolf recognizes as his mate, but Shaun remembers nothing of the night before. Shocked when Shaun showed up in her hotel room the night before Gem's wolf instantly recognizes that him as her mate. And of course things occurred. Issues begin to show up as this new relationship begins to form. First off Shaun's overprotective and powering nature, it's too like Gem's father for her taste. Next, where are they going to live. Shaun's business is in the north, and Gem is used to her quality of life in the south. The questions and issues begin to pile up, but the attraction also starts to burn. But Gem's trip into the Yukon might lead to all the answer, if they can only keep the flames down.
Black Gold is a great book if your looking for a shapeshifter fix.Vivian Arend as an author always keeps her readers interested in her characters and the plot line of her books. She continues this with Black Gold, with Gem and Shaun who are both incredibly interesting and complex wolfish characters. Hopefully Shaun and Gem will make appearances within the other books of the series, which are currently Silver Mine (September 2012) and Diamond Dust (August 2013).
