Review by Author Lizbet Sarai : “ When a Wolf Howls is warm-hearted , genuine , creative and arousing . Saoirse ’ s a fantastic heroine , a strong woman who ’ s ready to fight for justice , her own safety , and that of the people she loves . She ’ s definitely well suited to be Diego ’ s mate .”
EXCERPT
Set-up — Diego , the principal , is dressed as Zorro — and Saoirse , the science teacher , is a gypsy . They ’ re the chaparones at a Halloween party for the academy teenagers . When some security guards stop by , she ducks out to use the bathroom .
She was just walking back in , when her hand was grabbed from behind a curtain , and she was pulled onto a balcony .
Her momentary confusion changed to delight when she realized that Diego had taken the opportunity to grab a few stolen moments in the dark , now that their chaperone services were temporarily unneeded .
He leaned against the wall next to her , stroking her curls glowing coppery in the moonlight . “ How could I resist such an attractive gypsy woman ?” he asked in a low , husky voice .
She smiled coyly at him , batting her eyelashes . “ Why , sir , are you bothering with a lowly peasant woman like me ?”
He leaned forward , using one finger to tilt her head upwards . “ Because if I don ’ t kiss you , I ’ ll never forgive myself .” With that , his lips brushed against hers lightly .
The tingle that ran through her body made her blood boil . She leaned against him , enjoying the feel of the hard muscles under his skin .
He increased the pressure of his lips , and she met him with equal passion . With a low moan , she opened her mouth , and their tongues caressed each other , tasting each other ’ s passion .
