Publisher's summary

Emma Gavin writes best-selling novels about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them - and she certainly doesn't think she'll meet one. But that's exactly what happens when her books catch the attention of a rich and powerful pack of Manhattan Weres who have kept their existence hidden for centuries. Alarmed by the accuracy of her novels, they're determined to find out if a renegade is acting as her informant.

Aidan Wallace, the pack leader's son and heir, knows he's the wolf for the job, but when he gets close to Emma, they are both surprised by an attraction too strong to deny. To surrender to it, Aidan will have to risk everything -i ncluding the security of the pack he's sworn to protect.

Critic reviews

"Thompson takes on lifestyles of the rich and the danger of a stalker in a fun and entertaining tale." ( Booklist)

Cute story, that turns into a plentiful love story

This book has it all, Family, History, Love, Drama, Suspense, Mystery, the best part is the passion! The heroine is this feisty, yet laid back book author, that writes fictional books on werewolves. She has no idea, what she has. Gotten herself into. I Listened to this book in one day. I couldn't stop! It was that good. A must listen! Can't wait to read the next!

Wonderful story!

The characters were great and the story even better! This was a great book to listen to as you work. I snickered a lot as this story unfolded with Oh No's thrown in. Great narrator as well.

annoying

the female is very annoying hard to listen all the way through an hour left so ill try to finish it

LUKEWARM LISTEN

If you want a lighthearted cute listen that will carry you along with a sweet plot then this is your kinda book. It was an enjoyable listen, from the start the werewolf was already attracted to Emma (the author of romance books about, what she thought was fictional, werewolves) and he could 'smell' her attraction to him. It was a budding building romance of "he can't...." "he mustn't...." "he shouldn't of...." and finally "he's happy he did....". There was no real nasty baddies just a couple fighting their forbidden attraction to each other. However, I thought the ending seemed very rushed.

This wasn't a 'fast-forward' listen or a 'stop listening' book and I have already downloaded the other books in the series so I'll give them a try.

Really Struggled to Finish

overall it had a good story line just really drags and the narration leaves a lot to be desired the narrator sounds like a little girl so couldn't really get into the book

Fun, but doesn't have an ending

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It was mostly satisfying, and the tension between the leads was great. For someone looking for a no-substance read, this was well-written enough to warrant a recommendation.

If you’ve listened to books by Vicki Lewis Thompson before, how does this one compare?

This was my first

What does Abby Craden bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice for Emma was a little over the top, but she brought life to the scenes and characters.

Do you think A Werewolf in Manhattan needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, because the major plot was left unresolved. As soon as the characters got together, the author decided no other resolution was needed.

easy listen to

overall the book was very easy to listen to. Emma was annoying at times. I think she whined too much about him being rich and about not getting her way.

do not recommend

Super nauseous heroin. Too many badly written sex scenes. I like a nice light Romance this definitely is not exactly it.

very good

a great start to this series in love with this author Emma writes about werewolves never believing she will meet one for reals and turns her life around i loved the narration as well great job

A Domesticated Were?

I'm glad I didn't start the series with this first book.The books following this first one were all great,but unfortunately this story was lackluster.Emma(the main female character)was opinionated,bossy and whinny.If I were Aidan(the main Were character in this story)I would have happily settled for the packs pick as mate"Nadia".For an"alpha"male,he sure let Emma boss him around.Not one of her better books,but she sure got better with the rest of the series.They are really awesome.
