Cowboy in Wolf’s Clothing by Kait Ballenger

2nd book in the Seven Range Shifters series. Paranormal romance. Can be read as a stand-alone romance, but better read as a series so you get the full background on the Gray Wolf shifters, the dynamics of how and why the various paranormal forces are at war.
Written third party with alternating views of Belle and Colt.

Cowboys, Wolf-pack shifters, vampires, intrigue, secrets, romance, family manipulation, bits of humor, some steamy sex scenes, smart and capable females. So much to offer in the book. The hero and heroine talk and tease each other which made the dialogue entertaining.

Two small takeaways. There is a Pact that I kept thinking should have been pack, but no, it’s actually an agreement between the different shifter groups. So no spelling or edit error there, but it took me a while to figure that out. The second was the *****minor spoiler follows***** professional degree of doctor the heroine has, but when she’s killed off (on paper only!), my thoughts were on how is she now going to support herself. Totally outside the scope but that was my concern. ( )
