Blurb: Italian born Lorenzo Contadino has always had three goals in life. He wanted to come to America, be a veterinarian, and live in a small town. Now, as a recent graduate from New York University veterinary school, he has accomplished two of his three goals. When he gets the call to become a veterinarian in Adams, Oregon, he is excited to take the job. Unfortunately, they only gave him half the facts.
When Lorenzo gets to Adams, he realizes that not only is it an all werewolf town, but they want him to become one of them. The only one that can convince Lorenzo to stay is the sexy, smart Rick McDonald, but only because he’s the one person dead set on pushing him out of town.

Review: This was a sweet story, but for me it just not only seemed rushed but also was too short for my liking. It was pretty good though. I wasn’t too sure what to think about it at first. Lorenzo was not only human but he had spent most of his adult time in New York. Always wanting to be in a small town, he had chosen Adams. It was cute and very much welcoming. A little to welcoming it would seem. The town was full of werewolves.
After wrecking his rental, he swore up and down he saw werewolves. So to his surprise everyone in Adams was a werewolf. Shocked to the core, he was still determined to stick around. It also might have something to do with a gorgeous werewolf that came off as kind of a jerk and didn’t want him around.
Rick knew he had been an ass but he had his reasons. One of them was fear. I found that this story has a great plot and story line however; it needed to be spread out a bit more with more detail to it. It should have made it a little bit harder for Lorenzo to get his head around werewolves and Rick needed to do more. I don’t really know how to say it. This story was just missing something important to me. Don’t get me wrong it was very good but for me it just seemed rushed.
I would recommend reading it especially if you love werewolves, feisty vets, stubborn men, a quirky old man and a bit of surprise and excitement.
