Smoke and the Flame

Revelations

Have you ever been so stubborn that you failed at something? Yeah? Me too! I hail from an ancient line of werewolves, so you’d think being me would be easy. If only two very important things were not standing in my way. ONE: Zach Brighton - my betrothed. TWO: My wolf was very different! Everyone said I should be happy he still wanted me. I was not. Then, I met someone else, a mystery man who changed everything, but held secrets of his own that threatened his ability to claim me. Maybe I wasn’t meant to be claimed. Maybe I was broken. Or Maybe, I was just waiting for my new life to catch up. This is book ONE of The Ancients Series. This paranormal romantic suspense story MUST be read in order. The main character's story concludes in book 4, but all four of those books are already available! 1 - Shadows of the Ancients 2 - Falling into the White 3 - Branches of the Willow 4 - Bound by the Moon 5 - Stars from Author J. Kirsch - One sexy, witty, enticingly snarky wolf girl? Check. A unique take on werewolf power and relationship dynamics? Check. This is an overall fun read with dialogue that will have you laughing out loud at times and raising your eyebrows at others. In one evening I ran across this deliciously wolfy paranormal book, and a few hours later I had to buy book #2 and #3 in the series. Yes, it's THAT good. If you like Patricia Briggs or Jeaniene Frost, you will enjoy Ms. Butler's writing.

Never mind that I'm the best damn mechanic in a 200-mile radius.Even my own dad killed me with the "man clause" in his will when he died. Sure, I was given his shop, but it would revert to my brother's name in six months unless I get married to a man who can run the shop beside me. That's hard to do when the last man I dated ran out on me to do his own thing while I cared for my dying father. The women of S.H.E. are my only saving grace, and even they can't save me from losing everything. Then there was the man waiting in the wings for me to lose it all.
