Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. Romance. Sullivan Quinn didn't travel 3,000 miles from his native Ireland and his wolf pack just to chase rabidly after the most delectable quarry he's ever seen. Quinn is in America on a mission-to warn his Other brethren of a shadowy group willing to use murder and mayhem to bring them down. But one whiff of this Foxwoman's delicious honeysuckle fragrance and he knows that she is more than a colleague or a conquest...she is his mate. Anthropologist Cassidy Poe is a world-renowned authority on social interaction, but the overpowering desire she feels around Quinn defies every ounce of her expertise. Working by his side to uncover the Others' enemies poses risks she never expected-to her own safety, to those she loves, and to her heart, as every encounter with Quinn proves more blissfully erotic than the last. Now, with no one to trust but each other, Quinn and Cassidy face a foe that's edging closer every day, threatening to destroy the life they've always known, and the passion they've just discovered.… (lisätietoja)

Wolf at the Door was a decent read. It started out slowly, but picked up the pace half-way through. It's basically about a group of fanatics who call themselves the Light of Truth, threatening to unveil the paranormal world of The Others. The Others are trying to find them before it's too late. I thought that the romance between Quinn (a lupine) and Cassidy (a foxwoman) was pretty bland. They were fine as characters, though they could have been a little more developed. I felt that there was no spark between them and I was told they feel in love, rather than shown. The plot was decent enough and I'll read the next one in the series. 3.5 stars ( )

Wolf at the Door
4 Stars

Synopsis: Werewolf Sullivan Quinn travels to New York City to warn the members of the council of Others that the secret of their existence is about to be revealed to humanity. He never suspects that he will meet his mate and his match in Cassidy Poe, a Foxwoman and an anthropologist. Soon Quinn and Cassidy must work together against a foe that seeks to destroy everything they know and love.

Review: A steamy romance with witty banter and laugh-out-loud moments.

This is a well-written and light-hearted read with detailed characterization. Quinn is simply gorgeous and has the cutest Irish mannerisms. Cassidy is intelligent and spunky, and their chemistry sizzles.

The focus of the book is mainly on the romance and it is a pity that most of the author’s efforts were put into developing the main characters backgrounds and motivations rather than investing in the world building. The secondary cast includes a variety of supernatural characters from various mythologies, and while they are intriguing in their own right, they are not sufficiently developed. I can only assume that some of them will make appearances in later installments of the series.

The conspiracy plot is the weakest point as, despite its potential, it never manages to get off the ground and the final confrontation is rushed. While the ending is not exactly a cliffhanger, it is a little up-in-the-air and lackluster. In my opinion, the book lacks an epilogue in which Quinn takes Cassidy home to “meet the parents”.

On the whole, Wolf at the Door is thoroughly entertaining and I look forward to continuing with the series. ( )

Wolf at the Door by Christine Warren is a steamy paranormal romance with fun dialogue and characters that quickly won me over as they struggle to discover who is behind the attacks, creating a sense of danger and suspense, and making this a novel you want on your reading list. ( )

I just discovered this series/author, and I love it! Irish werewolf diplomat comes to NYC with an agenda to put to the Council of Others. But his nose sends him on a chase and he can't give up. Turns out the one attached to the scent is a foxwoman with a formidable grandmother, and he soon finds out that fate has decreed that she is his mate. Add in some intrigue, other shifters, vampires, et al, a kidnapping or five, and you have a punny snarktastic fun read. ( )

Best thing about this book was that the heroine was a kitsune. It was refreshing to see a different kind of shifter in a paranormal romance. Usually its just werewolves and large cats. Unfortunately the hero wasn't all that thrilling. There was some interesting build up about his character in the beginning with him being essentially the oral story teller for his werewolf pack but that's where that ended. Other than that he was pretty dull, but I enjoyed his relationship with Cassidy. My only other problem was that the ending was a bit anti-climatic. It felt like all the action was happening while the heroine was looking the other way. Then when she turned her attention back to the fight people where either knocked out or dead. ( )
