The Howling Heart by April Bostic

Publication date: August 8th 2013

Genres: Adult, Paranormal Romance

Paige Donovan is an ambitious college graduate who aspires to reach the top of the corporate ladder. She’s climbing fast when given the promotion of a lifetime at a prestigious fashion magazine in New York City. Her bright future comes to an unexpected halt after news of her father’s death. She inherits his old cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and just when she thinks her luck couldn’t get any worse, she has a car accident in the mountains and awakens in the small, remote community of Black River.

Soon, she’s engulfed in the mystical world of Varulv—wolves descended from 13th century Scandinavia and blessed by Norse gods with the ability to appear human. Paige is desperate to return home, but never expects to fall for her rescuer, Riley Gray, a charming young werewolf from England who offers her an alternate future with his pack.

Now, she must choose between the career she’s always wanted and the love she’s always dreamed.

Definitely different than your normal paranormal book staring a wolf.

What was a crossing of two hearts as kids has never quite left Riley and Paige. Now they are finally getting a second chance, but will Paige leave before they ever have a chance?

Howling Heart certainly lives up to its name. It is written from Paige's POV. This is the tough part. The story is good, however, I feel Riley's character acted too childish and that some of the story could use more emotional action. I love that this is not tutorial werewolf story. It is completely switched up. I just feel the background of the story could use some more development.
