This is one of my most favorite reviews, partly because when I read the back of Werewolf Sanctuary, by Eva Gordon, I read Romance/Paranormal. I am the first to admit i don't normally read romance, but I do reviews of books so I jumped in. As I wasn't used to how the book began it left me very pleased and impressed.

I can say that this is one of the best novels in the Romance genre I've read. I enjoyed in and read it twice to give my honest perception of the book. It starts with a character I can identify with, Madeline, and her job in the everyday world. Intelligent and everything a heroine should be. She is a good character to start with since she is independent, but engaged to another man. The Complication is the new mystery man: Wyatt, who it turns out is a Lycan. The chemistry heats up with Wyatt first and then with Madeline.

The book itself heats up when, it dives into the past and into her life as a person. It is by far the best part of the book, as it deals with the relationship between her grandmother and herself. The speaks volumes that it places itself in World War II one of the harder time frames to write about. The book become more powerful because of it. it also deals with World War Two and the effects of loss and love eternal.

Gordon makes such a strong heroine the hero, Wyatt, is equally important. Like her heroine the hero is strong willed and brave, but is also temperamental, which gives a more rounded hero than what is normally expected from a typical romance novel. He is possesive, and yet this is explained as his Lycan side.

Gordon is a wonder author who draws the reader into the book with a grace and intelligence and captures their imagination. With a few plot twists that are surprising but handled well, this makes for a far more entertaining book.

This is a superb start to her series, which I can't wait to review when the next book comes out. I'll be recommending this to anyone, and it can be bought at amazon, for a very reasonable price.
