Review: Wolf of Stone by Quinn Loftis

Wolf of Stone by Quinn Loftis

Date Published: October 31, 2014
Format: E-Arc, 241
Series: Gypsy Heealers, #2

Dalton Black, a Canis lupis full of guilt and anger, never expected to find his true mate. Perhaps already slipping into madness, he had resigned himself to the fact that he would walk the earth without the other half of his soul. He was convinced that his sins were enough to keep the Great Luna from giving him such a blessing. He knew it was probably better that way. His past was as dark as his name and after three centuries of running from it, the memories were finally catching up to him. But all of those resignations evaporated when he saw her broken and bloodied body lying on that alter. Though the man didn’t recognize her, the wolf did. Through battle and bloodshed he was able to save her from the evil that held her captive, but now he would need her to save him from himself. 
Jewel Stone was wholly unaware of the ancient bloodlines of Gypsy Healers, mates to Canis lupis and protectors of the packs – much less that she carried that blood herself. But when a beautiful but deadly

 Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set-one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity.

Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.

I'm Going to ALA Midwinter!!!


   ALA stands for American Library Association and it is essentially an event specifically for librarians but it is open to bloggers/book reviewers and the public. Of course, the rates will go up if you're not an ALA member. But I'm only going to be visiting the exhibits, which isn't really expensive.

This is my first book event EVER!!! 

I'm not joking when I say this. I've never been to any author signings or book festivals. But this will be perfect because there will be authors and books!! It'll be a mix of both.
