Spring Reading 2022 While the Wolf's Away (White Wolf, 3)

 


Terry Spears fans have been waiting to see if the long distance romance between Arctic wolf shifters David Davis and Elizabeth Simpson will ever be resolved. Elizabeth had helped David and his friends escape from her controlling pack leader after they were bitten and turned into shifters. But once Elizabeth returned to care for her dying grandmother, the pack would not let her leave to join David and his friends in their newly formed pack. Can they manage to pull off a second escape and live happily ever after together?

Readers have already seen the stories of David's packmates - Owen, Gavin, and Cameron have all found their mates and the small pack has expanded to include children and the families of those mates. We have also seen the alliances formed between the pack and the United Shifter Force (including jaguar shifters) and other wolf packs. Now we finally go back to the beginning of the White Wolf stories with the pack that turned the four friends and started them on this new way of life. Bringing resolution to the animosity between the two packs and finally giving David a companion and love of his own so that he is not odd man out is something fans have wondered about. Will it finally happen? And even if that couple is made official, with Elizabeth's friend Sherri now in the area, we may see more intrigue as single wolves try to win her affection.

Spears takes many details into consideration. If you were an Arctic wolf shifter, where in North America would it be safe for you to live without drawing undue attention if you were seen in your fur coat? How would a pack of shifters feel about losing young female members to another pack? How much of their wolf instincts and human possessiveness would control their actions? This installment in her growing shifter romance world may not have as much physcial confrontation and danger as some of the other books, but the characters still face difficult situations and threats to their happiness and safety. Readers will be rooting for David and Elizabeth to overcome the obstacles to their life together while also watching for hints of which other character may be headed for their own book soon.
