Worth having a sleepless night

I started this book at 10 pm and couldn't let it out of my hands until 4.30 am. WOW! I loved Mrs. Dawson style. It is not like those cheesy books that are only good for being able to fall asleep or when you have a cold. This book transfers you into another world, another culture. If you like adventure, mysteries, archeologic explorers and the idea of hidden cultures (hmmm... and a wonderful love story) you will enjoy this book. I dreamed about the Black Mountains and started sketching in the morning - the first time since a year. Thank you Mrs. Dawson.

Great Paranormal Suspense...

'Heart of the Wolf' has more elements of paranormal suspense than shapeshifting or sword-and-sorcery. This is not an 'action' type read. The mystery of the hero and his people is resolved at the end and satisfing overall, though the heroine's character could be stronger; several times I question her lack of motives, by I didn't write the book. :-) As the title suggests, after much soul-searching and decision-making the book does deliver Daken's secret in his heart and he is absolved of whatever demons he fights. More a mental and emotional challenge than physical conflict in the read, this book has substance which takes the dedicated reader through the proverbial mill trying to figure out the "why" of the situation. I loved Daken's village and their society (expanded in Ms. Dawson's 'Secrets of the Wolf'), and the idea of a shapeshifting main character. Hopefully Ms. Dawson will expand further in the future with a third book based on this world.

Nice paranormal/fantasy romance!

Liked it, liked it a lot. :) If you love stories about shapechangers and magic (ie, Susan Krinard and Dara Joy), this one is for you. Great book, makes me want to read others by this author. :)

Enchanting-the right mix of romance and magic!

A wonderfully written book it has mystery, romance, intrigue, and adventure! A must read for anyone who likes a little magic with their romance.
