Publisher's summary

Handsome Howard...Hunky Howard...Hot Howard....

It's not every day that Elsa Bjornberg feels delicate, not when she hosts a home renovation show where she can effortlessly demolish a kitchen. But from the moment she meets Howard Barr, this bear of a man makes her feel like a woman. And the way he looks at her, as if she were a pot of honey he'd like to lick....

Howard is not like most men. For one thing, he's a shapeshifter. And he always thought his celebrity crush would never amount to anything more than drooling at Elsa on TV. When his meddling vampire employer gets involved, the star is suddenly within his grasp - and within a hair of her life. For an ancient curse forbids their newfound love, and Howard is suddenly torn between his desire for her and his desire to keep her alive.

loved it new favorite

im happy Howard got a girl finally still loves that big honey bear. asscents were good and spot on a defiant keep the book

A Fun Read!

I really enjoyed this installment, it centers around a were-bear and woman who has powers that are just beginning to be. Her aunts are keepers of special nature powers and it seems Elsa has inherited her mothers powers, she is having weird dreams and is afraid of what they mean. Meanwhile, Howards' family knows the history, and has passed the story down. Howard falls for Elsa through seeing her on her reality show and has hidden video tapes of her. Well someone discovers the tapes and brings Elsa to their tiny community, to hook up Howard and Elsa. Then the fun begins. This is a light hearted story with an ancient evil that has taken on a modern day twist. I found the story to be enjoyable, with a few lol moments, a couple of heart-wrenching tragedies and a HEA.

Great book well performed. Thoroughly entertaining

A romantic story with engaging characters. The reading is terrific and the reader well suited to the story. I was thoroughly enterained.

Nicol brings the characters to life

Nicol does a great job. Howard deseves to be a happy bear, then there was Elsa

Wild for Howard

If you could sum up Wild About You in three words, what would they be?

Hot Hunky Alpha

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wild About You?

When Howard first Elsa Bjornberg. He reminded me of a tongue-tied teen suffering his first crush.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

OMG -YES, I hated having to stop for interruptions.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this so very much that I will also be buying the print version to add to my keeper library.

Good story

This was a good story, I especially liked the legends that tied the couple together. it was cute!

Howard the Barr Bear

Book great. performance great. Love kerrelyn's books. It's too bad they keep jumping performers and can't have just one. I miss consistency with character accents/voices.

Love at Stake is wonderful!

This is a series that I have loved from the first time I read them until I started listening to them.

Holiday Howard - Worth The Wait!

He's been there since the beginning and finally Howard gets his honey. I've been waiting for his story ever since the first "were-bear playing for THE Bears" pun. Like Mike Ditka, Howard's hottie is in a class of her own.

The story also includes some wonderful detail into the ongoing life of "Love at Stakes'" first family and the "super" community they are building. It puts paid to a series' "bill" that is way past due, introduces a new supernatural class, and the comedic duo of Howard's twin were-bear cousins. Named like Pokemon, Jessie and James, interject the right amount of lite with their "Bill and Ted" surfer bear dialog.

I really enjoyed this latest installment in the "Love at Stake" series and I have to say Howard's story was worth the wait.

Woo Hoo Howard!

Werebear Howard finds romance finally!! Doughnut loving hunk falls for a mythical amazon of a gal who's ancestors were the originators of his kind? He doesn't know it and was raised with the legend but he has had the hots for her since seeing her on a "Flip this house" show as one of the designer/workers. Of course this not so little gal doesn't believe in the hooey of her 'mystical' path and has Aunts that are batty in her book but she loves (one lugs a gun about. LOL) but she finds herself falling for the werebear and trying to heed her Aunts crazy warnings. Of course if you've followed the "At Stake" series as I have...you'll see all your favorite characters involved and laugh, nearly cry for and cheer on Howard. He's not as simple as he pretends to be in all the other books. Pooh Bear can growl!!!
