Review:
This is the first book in the werewolf series by Lydia Dare, it starts off well. The historical setting of this series is different. I am used to more contemporary paranormal novels so the historical aspect is refreshing and combines two loves of paranormal and historical romance. Simons torment in keeping his secret feels real as does Lily determination to find out his secret.  I can see any woman who knows that their man is keeping a secret go through the same emotions. I enjoyed this novel it was quite entertaining. I’m ready for the next book in the series!
