Lieutenant Commander Jack Reed hasn’t cried since he lost his parents. But when his best friend was kidnapped one cold December night, Jack had to come to terms with a hidden truth: he was in love with Martin Winter.

Martin Winter is a FBI Agent. He and Jack have a great deal in common. Both no longer had a parent they can lean on and both are shapeshifters. Finding someone who shares the same ability seems like a godsend. When Martin returns, he goes to the one person capable of helping piece his life together: Jack.

Shadow of a Wolf is a brilliantly written novel. There is suspense, intrigue, action and spine-tingling sex throughout the tale. Martin is too beautiful to be considered handsome. His kidnapping has come with a high price. Upon returning, Martin’s not sure of who he can trust outside of Jack, but fears pulling him into a situation that could spell certain death. Jack knows he’s a handsome man, it’s been said too often to be a lie. And even with that knowledge and the wealth left to him by his parents, Jack is still down to earth. Now that he has Martin back, Jack is ready to step up to the plate and protect the man he loves, body and soul. Shadow of a Wolf was my introduction to Jez Morrow, and it was well beyond what I anticipated. I didn’t put the book down until the last word was read. If we are lucky there will be a sequel and the two men will find more shapeshifters in the future (one can hope). Readers of the genres will be elated with the novel.
