Canadian Wolf
Linda O. Johnston

ISBN: 9780373009527
Aware of the success of Alpha Force (see Loyal
Wolf), Canada wants a home-grown team of shapeshifters to work on cases to similar
those performed by this unique American military unit. Thus the brass assigns Alpha Force Lieutenant
Selena Jennay to help the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to create their own
shapeshifting team led by purebred human Sergeant Major Owen Dewirter.
Having had a dangerous experience with a shifter;
the Canadian accepts the existence of the subspecies; but rejects the premises
of changing without a full moon stimulus and retaining human cognizance in the
beast form. To quickly provide him with
proof of assertions, Selena changes into her wolf. Though he distrusts Selena and others like
her, Owen insists on a real field test: rescue kidnap victims, catch their
abductors and expose the traitor inside their team. Falling in love was not part of the mission.
The latest Alpha Force police procedural urban
fantasy romance (see Untamed Wolf and Undercover Wolf) provides newness with
the international twist and the gender-bending lead couple. Although the storyline starts somewhat slowly
ironically due to the two fresh spins, the appealing leads and support cast
make for an interesting romantic suspense.
