One Eye Open (Silhouette Intimate Moments #1301)

Review from Cataromance.com

ONE EYE OPEN by Karen Whiddon Silhouette Intimate Moments JUNE 2004 0373273711 5 Stars The Silhouette Intimate Moments line has recently started to incorporate more paranormal elements into their stories. As a reader who has a penchant for the unexplained, I am very thrilled. In Karen Whiddon¿s debut book for the line, ONE EYE OPEN, we are introduced to Brenna Lupe, a shape-shifter who can turn into a wolf. The author captures the reader¿s attention from the very first sentence. This story will then invade your thoughts, making you wonder if there is the slightest possibility there really are those like Brenna living amongst us. When she hears that Carson Turner is looking for The Wolf, Brenna must devise a way to discover any information he has on this person. This man is really her brother, Alex, whom she lost contact with six months earlier. Carson is a DEA agent, who thinks Alex shot him and then murdered his wife and daughter. He says the killings were to prove Alex¿s loyalty to a biker gang known as Hades¿ Claws. With his quest for vengeance and justice being his only motivation to live, Carson will let nothing or no one get in the way of reaching his goal. When Brenna meets Carson in the biker¿s bar, he does not believe anything she says, especially that she is Alex¿s sister. But as long as she has some connection to Alex, then maybe his adversary will come out of hiding, so Carson tells Brenna that she is going to stay with him. At first Brenna refuses to stay with Carson, but she decides being with him and learning all that he knows might help her locate her brother quicker. After someone shoots at them outside the bar, she realizes just how much jeopardy Alex must be in. She knows that she can take care of herself with all her unique traits from being a shape-shifter. If she could only change into her wolf form, she could hunt for Alex much quicker. But those in the Pack never let a human see the change, so she must just use her exceptional senses to keep Carson and herself safe, while they continue to hunt for Alex. With Brenna¿s deep compassion for those who are hurting, she wants her brother safe, yet she wants Carson to find peace as he feels guilty to still be alive. As these two work toward finding Alex, there is an intense underlying sexual attraction between them. But neither wants to act upon those feelings, as they feel they have nothing to offer each other. With unrelenting, suspenseful action, ONE EYE OPEN, will not soon be forgotten. Ms. Whiddon mesmerizes the reader with her credible characters and their heart-wrenching, emotional beliefs. The tension will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering if and when Carson will discover Brenna¿s true self. And will the animalistic pull between them be too potent for them to withstand? The use of animal-like attributes throughout the book also added to the story¿s appeal. ONE EYE OPEN is a paranormal story that will capture your imagination and make Ms. Whiddon a favorite author to read. Amelia Richard, CataRomance Reviews
