This is item 2 in The Wild Wulfs of London Series.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The second book in Thompson's Wild Wulfs of London trilogy follows the attempts of Lord Jackson Wulf to break the lycanthropic curse unleashed inside of him by love. In the belief that killing a witch will release his family from the werewolf hex, Jackson seeks out the sorceress Lucinda, finding a beautiful young woman rather than the hag he expects. After saving Lucinda from the throes of a painful breach birth, Jackson finds himself unable to kill her. Instead, she promises to cure him with her magic if he enters into a marriage of convenience, for the sake of protecting her son's identity. Lacking in both narrative and sexual tension, the book charts the couple's constant thrust and parry-though fewer thrusts than a story about a frustrated wolfman would suggest-in a struggle to discover each others' true motives. Though the series has both fans and promise, this faltering entry begs the question: if sexy paranormals can't get any satisfaction, how is a common reader supposed to?

Review

"Gripping, intriguing, and sexy. Engaging characters and edge of the seat action—this book has it all." --Christine Feehan on The Dark One

"The Dark One grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. Sensual and engaging, Thompson redefines the werewolf story even as her characters redefine for themselves the meaning of love." --Susan Squires on The Dark One

"This story hooked me from page one and never let me go. I can't wait for the next one!" --Amanda Ashley on The Dark One

“This well-written tale, complete with fascinating characters, utterly romantic love story, and divine sensuality captivated me from the very beginning to the heart-stopping ending.” —Paranormal Romance Writer on The Dark One

“Completely, utterly, absolutely engaging. I was swept away by the story of Armond Wulf and Rosalind Rutherford. The Dark One is one of the most wonderful tales I’ve gotten my hands on in a long time. I’m so thankful Ms. Thompson decided to make this a series. The Wild Wulfs of London will definitely be on my “must buy” list!” —Romance Divas on The Dark One

“I love paranormals, and this one is one of the best!” —Romance Junkies on The Dark One

“Readers will believe in the existence of the werewolf…sub-genre fans will fully treasure the first Wild Wulfs of London thriller. 5 stars!” —Harriet Klausner on The Dark One

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Installment is GOOD!, Aug 29 2006

By	K. Montgomery "http://lurvalamode.wordpress.com" (Columbus, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Ronda Thompson teased fans with her first installment, "The Dark One", leading us into a more laid back, yet magical version of the werewolf paranormal sub genre. It laid the ground work for this spectacular second in the series, this time about Jackson Wulf, who is in some ways more tortured a hero than his brother Armond was in the first book. Fans will be delighted with this second tale, which reveals even more of Thompson's unique version of werewolves.

Lord Jackson Wulf is a man intent on ending his family's curse. Through some rather misguided and desperate decisions, he focuses his anger and retribution on the quiet and unassuming witch Lucinda. Since it was a witch that cursed his family so long ago, Jackson believes this will end his brothers' pain and misery. Fate has other plans though, and when he finds his intended victim in about to give birth, he ends up rescuing her instead. The two make a bargain: Lucinda will use her talent as a witch to help break the curse in return for Jackson's protection for her and her baby. What Jackson doesn't know about is the man set on destroying Lucinda's child and further defiling her in the process. Through many trying trials of mistrust, Jackson and Lucinda must come to terms with their opposing enemy positions and learn to see each other for what they really are. The breaking of the curse depends on more than just their cooperation--it requires an unveiling of their hearts.

The second in Thompson's intriguing paranormal series is loaded with more action and tension between the hero and heroine. They are like two circling wolves, both leery of each other, yet desirous of the other's help too. Jackson wishes to end his family's curse for good, in effect making him blind to the fact that Lucinda could in no way be responsible for their position as werewolves. Desperate times call for desperate measures though and he ends up appreciating Lucinda far more than he originally hated her. I had a hard time getting past Lucinda's dilemma with her son Sebastian, her willingness to leave him with the Wulfs once she cured Jackson, but a mother's sacrifice is often too personal and therefore hard to understand. The sensuality simmers below the surface, raging to a fine boiling point that readers will sigh in satisfaction for when it finally arises. Villainous secondary characters add the right level of intrigue and suspense, giving the hero and heroine a run for their money.

Thompson has created a wonderful premise for the series, one that will carry readers through the third installment, "The Cursed One" (due out December '06) with plenty of interest and excitement for the finale to come. She also has a short story coming in the "Love at First Bite" (Fall '06) anthology--another Wulf installment--so check it out too. Overall a very pleasing, well-spent weekend of reading! I highly anticipate the third brother, Gabriel's story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Addition to Series - 4-1/2*, Jun 7 2006

By	M. Rondeau (West Springfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

In book two of the Wild Wulfs of London series, Thompson focuses on the second lycanthropic cursed brother, Lord Jackson as he attempts to solve his forebear's riddle in order to break free of the beast within him.

The opening pages show Jackson seeking out and finding the witch Lucinda -- fully intending to kill the hag in thinking that with the witches death, he and his brothers would be free of an other witche's curse. Instead of what he assumed would be a wart-ridden hag, Jackson found Lucinda. A beautiful young witch, in the throes of what looked to be a potentially fatal breach birth. Rather than kill an unborn innocent child, she begged and bargained for Jackson to help her deliver her son and see that he would be provided for -- then he could kill her. After delivering the child Jackson found he could not kill a defenseless woman. Other men hired to find Lucinda and kill the babe did find them and Jackson helped Lucinda escape. Thinking Jackson had been killed Lucinda found her way to London passed herself off as Jackson's widow with infant son and was now living the good life; and then Jackson showed up. A new arrangement was negotiated. Jackson would marry Lucinda, raise Sebastian as his own; in return after she lifted the curse, she would disappear. Unfortunately, Lucinda as a `white' witch who could only heal and protect, didn't have a clue as to how to lift a curse. Lucinda felt cursed in knowing that in healing Jackson, she would be leaving the child she adored and the one man she herself had come to love.

*** Thompson's second entry to her Regency set werewolf paranormal, while not quite as exhilarating as the first book, still had the ability to grab this readers attention from the very first pages. In a brave move from the more common innocent virginal heroine, you are introduced to a woman giving birth to another man's child. The fact that the child was conceived via a twisted man's rape upon an unconscious innocent immediately supported my initial regard for Lucinda. Later, her inept attempts at casting spells for a myriad of causes furthered my appreciation and pleasure in her character.

Jackson was a complicated hero. After years of attempting to live with the curse by drowning himself in liquor and using his unnatural scent and fabulous good looks to seduce and fornicate across London, discovering a woman who didn't succumb to his desires was a `wake-up call' to his humanity. From the moment he held the tiny life of Sebastian in his hands he was ready to start on the road to recovery.

The struggle both made to overcome their fears as each began to hold one another in high regard was paced well with enough narrative to ease both parties into acceptance of one another on a basic level inculding a sensual aspect which was quite inspiring. With the re-emergence of the twisted villain and the final outcome the author had this reviewer standing up to cheer! Bottom line - I believe fans of this new series will find book two a worthy addition to the Wild Wulfs of London saga and I can't wait to see what delights are in store for brother Gabriel.
