Publisher's summary

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a novella about the call of the moon—and the life-changing power of love.

Simone's European hiking excursion is cut short when she is brutally attacked by a wolf-like creature in the Piedmont Mountains of Italy. When she awakens from the attack, she finds she has been changed in inexplicable ways and settles into an isolated lifestyle. While she is ever hopeful for a cure, she is also acutely aware that she may never be the same again.

Then Gabe Kirby walks into her life. Her desire for him is beyond human. As Simone risks breaking all of her own rules for a chance at happiness with Gabe, she begins to realize that he may be more than the love of her life—he may be the one to help her find the cure.

Ms. Roberts is a master writer.

Nora Roberts - what else is there to say? Her smart and often hilarious dialogue, her good and evil characters, her plots that have dimension simply entertain me even her novellas. Here she takes the lycanthropy trope and builds a believable story with a great ending. Though Emily Foster did a clear narration, for me a 30-year-old woman and a heart throb veterinarian needed a more mature voice.

Went into this blind.

3.5*
I bought this audiobook during one of Audible sales and never really even looked at the blurb- it was a Nora book and on sale, so why not! So needless to say the prologue took me by surprise, But then the story had me intrigued. I liked the idea of Simone trying to figure out how to "cure" herself. The romance wasn't the best. I don't mind the idea of instalove, but the execution of this one didn't work for me, although I liked both characters. I understand why Simone was attracted so quickly, like she found her mate, but with Gabe being fully human his instant love for her was a little eh. Instant attraction I can get, but the instalove was a bit much.
The narrators voice was fine, but at times it was hard to differentiate which character was speaking.

Not the best

This book was not like some of Nora Roberts other novellas. It wasn't bad per se but I did have an issue with the main characters telling each other they loved each other after meeting three times for a grand total of about 20 minutes. I know this is a romance novel but come on.

loved it

loved it as I do all of her books.
shes an awesome storyteller. ive been a fan for years

Interesting.....

As a HUGE Nora Roberts fan, I ended up buying a couple of her earlier works when Audible was having this big sale. The stories weren't too long and they were definitely written a while ago, but, as usual, with Nora Roberts....you can't really go wrong.

One thing I was surprised about was that this story had a very unique take to it. It takes one of the fairly common tropes - dealing with lycanthropy - and then takes in a new and different direction.

I'm not going to go into spoilers because honestly, that was what surprised me and honestly, it ramped up my interest. All I will say is that if you have a couple of hours one day and want a new and different take on the shifter genre, give this a try. You won't be disappointed, at least I wasn't.

Great book

loved it

Narrative

The story was rushed I felt.?if it had been performed at a slower pass I believe it would have been better.

great book, narration not so good

I like the book, but not the narration. too fast a d choppy. if it had been longer, I would not have been able to complete as the narration was annoying.

4 stars

this was a good story but the narrator spoke so fast...didn't have different voices for different characters. still enjoyable.

Interesting twist on werewolf tale

Sweet story and, as always with NR, very well written. I will listen to this one again.
