Great Story

This is another of the novels involving the three Forster siblings. Rowena has run away from her wolf heritage and is living in NY. She is engaged to Cole McLean, also a werewolf, also living as a human. Ironically, he is the person her brother wanted her to marry to begin with. Tomas is looking for revenge on Cole. Cole has killed his family and stolen everything he had. He steals something from Cole, Rowena.This is a really entertaining story. It moves from the NY of the late 1800's to the West. The word pictures are vivid and the story very good.

Fantastic

Once a Wolf was even better than Touch of the Wolf. I am really looking forward to the third book which I hope will come out soon. Thank you, Susan Krinard, for having such a wonderful imagination and the excellent ability to put that imagination into words.

Susan Krinard's books are not to be missed!

Lady Rowena's story was every bit as fascinating as I thought it would be! Tomas was a dream of a hero and knew just what Rowena needed. All he had to do was convince her!

A powerful love story!

Susan Krinard has outdone herself with Once a Wolf, the sequel to Touch of the Wolf! While I was prepared to enjoy the story of Lady Rowena Forster, who was introduced in Touch of the Wolf, I was instantly enthralled in this story that has proven to be a vivid, explosive western romance.Lady Rowena has been kidnapped by Tomas Alejandro Randall, known in the West as the outlaw El Lobo, in revenge for the murder of his parents by Cole MacLean, Lady Rowena's fiance. But Lady Rowena only knows Cole as a wealthy financier who has, like herself, distained his werewolf blood.Thus begins a journey filled with danger and dangerous passions, and the uncovering of many deceits and lies. Rowena and Tomas must find their way through this intricate maze and try to understand the powerful feelings each feels for the other. This is a marvelous love story that will not disappoint the reader on any level. Ms. Krinard is a very talented writer and you will be left with a yearning for the next tale and the hope that there will be many more!Karen King

Great paranormal romance

Unable to heed her brother Braden's orders to marry a fellow werewolf for the good of the Cause (see TOUCH OF THE WOLF), Lady Rowena Forster fled England for America. By 1878, Rowena is tutoring young ladies in New York City and engaged to wealthy financier Cole MacLean. However, Cole's enemy Tomas "El Lobo" Randall has other plans for Rowena. While Cole is away on business, Tomas persuades Rowena to head West to save the life of her twin brother Quentin.However, now that the outlaw El Lobo has hidden Cole's fiancee in the middle of New Mexico Territory, he finds himself mesmerized by her. Instead of an aloof society lady, she, like him, is a werewolf allowing her animalistic nature to surge through her heart. As Tomas and Rowena fall in love, Cole follows them because no one steals a possession of his, especially his family's long time enemy.ONCE A WOLF, the second tale in Susan Krinard's historical werewolf romantic trilogy, is a wonderful supernatural story. The story line takes loup garou elements and successfully plants them inside a western romance. The lead couple is a warm blooded duo while the support cast provides insight into the era as well as enhancing the paranormal elements. Fans of werewolf romances or western romances will fully enjoy Ms. Krinard's blending of the two sub-genres into an exciting novel.Harriet Klausner
