About this audiobook
Emma Gavin writes bestselling novels about werewolves, but that doesn't mean she believes in them-and she certainly doesn't think she'll meet one. But that's exactly what happens when her books catch the attention of a rich and powerful pack of Manhattan Weres who have kept their existence hidden for centuries. Alarmed by the accuracy of her novels, they're determined to find out if a renegade is acting as her informant.Aidan Wallace, the pack leader's son and heir, knows he's the wolf for the job, but when he gets close to Emma, they are both surprised by an attraction too strong to deny. To surrender to it, Aidan will have to risk everything-including the security of the pack he's sworn to protect.nbsp;

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5love the last two in the series for their quirky humor- just not find that in this first book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an enjoyable story that was more like a cozy romance. It was fun the way Emma and Aiden tried to resist each other. Especially with Aiden's little genetic flaw. There were many predictable parts in this story, but enough interesting goings-on that made this a fun, quick read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A Werewolf in Manhattan – by Vicki Lewis ThompsonThis book is a very light and frothy sexcapade with a major flaw or two. Most of this book is based on the premise that a human fiction writer that writes Romances about werewolves is going to “out” real werewolves once she knows they are for real. She writes FICTION. So what human in their right mind is going to believe anything she writes is fact? The second problem I had with this novel is that the first 65 percent was boring. The rest of the novel is filled with perfect conveniences that push what little there is of real story, to the final and inevitable conclusion. The last 35% was a slight bit more entertaining and I wish that Ms Thompson had developed Emma’ and Aiden’s relationship with his parents and that of Nadia and her brother Theo, a bit more fullyThe idea is that werewolf romance novelist Emma Gavin seems to have insider knowledge that werewolves are real and this piques the curiosity of Aiden Wallace, the someday pack leader of the ultra rich Wallace werewolf clan with tight ties to the Henderson Clan of Chicago and who conveniently enough, just happens to be a security specialist. While starting her book tour, Emma seems to have picked up a stalker; (well at least if you consider a couple of e-mails stalkerish behavior) which then give Aiden the excuse to accompany Emma on the first leg of her book tour. In where else; Chicago. I’m loathe to give away what little fun is to be found so I will just say that of course they are hugely attracted to each other, sex inevitably happens, then a very,very bad thing for Emma happens and for all intents and purposes she is sort of held hostage to the Wallace family while things get sorted out.I cannot for the life of me, really suspend this much of my disbelief, even for this style of light romantic speculative fiction. I spent a goodly amount of time rolling my eyes so much that I darn near gave myself a migraine. In addition, if it were not for the fact that I was reading this on my Kindle I might have thrown the book against the wall. Save a tree or save the bytes on your Kindle; if you really want to read this go to the library and save both.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My thoughts:Aww, the book was really sweet and cute, and with some hot passion too. Emma spends most of her time writing, and having sex sometimes with her boring boyfriend. She is sure not living the passionate life of her heroines. And I did start to think that she needed that. Aiden Wallace is the big wolf of the story, he takes care of security for the pack and he is wealthy as sin. His future does not involve a human, but oh how attracted he is to her. Sparks are flying and he can't almost not control himself.The book has this sweet vibe that I really enjoyed. Then there is some drama because of a stalker, and of course the whole "how do you know about weres" situation. Top that with some mind-blowing passion, because it becomes evident that these two are meant to be.One problem, that wasn't really a problem, but still annoyed me a tad was that when she found out that everything was true (no spoiler there cos come on), she wanted to know more and to write..right, when your life could possible be in danger? I would kind of have said, ok, and then started to write about vamps ;) But then that was also good of her. Emma was strong and she did not back down.Final thoughts and recommendation:I do think this one becomes a 3,75 cos it was just so darn cute, and I would recommend it to paranormal romance lovers. The book is more light and humour mixed with passion, and this concept sure worked well for me. I enjoyed this tale and I would like to read more.
