Product Description
Sullivan Quinn didn’t travel 3,000 miles from his native Ireland and his wolf pack just to chase rabidly after the most delectable quarry he’s ever seen. Quinn is in America on a mission—to warn his Other brethren of a shadowy group willing to use murder and mayhem to bring them down. But one whiff of this Foxwoman’s delicious honeysuckle fragrance and he knows that she is more than a colleague or a conquest…she is his mate.
Anthropologist Cassidy Poe is a world-renowned authority on social interaction, but the overpowering desire she feels around Quinn defies every ounce of her expertise. Working by his side to uncover The Others’ enemies poses risks she never expected—to her own safety, to those she loves, and to her heart, as every encounter with Quinn proves more blissfully erotic than the last…
Now, with no one to trust but each other, Quinn and Cassidy face a foe that’s edging closer every day, threatening to destroy the life they’ve always known, and the passion they’ve just discovered…

Quinn is a werewolf that has traveled from his home in Ireland to the United States to meet with the Council, the governing body of the Others. The Others are non-human races; vampires, werewolves, witches etc. Before the important meeting takes place, the tantalizing scent of honeysuckle has Quinn distracted and searching for its source. He can't fight his desire for the sweet scent and he abruptly leaves to find it.
Cassidy, a werefox, is taking a break from the meeting when she hears growling. She turns to find Quinn hiding in the shadows staring at her. Cassidy runs and Quinn chases, each shifting in to their Other forms. She manages to get away but she ends up coming face to face with Quinn again soon after, when she is brought unwillingly to the Council's emergency meeting.
The mistress of a very powerful vampire has been kidnapped and the group thought to have taken her, The Light of Truth, could expose the Others to the humans now. The Council decides that, because Cassidy is an anthropologist, her extensive knowledge of human culture will be useful in finding more information about The Light Of Truth. She will be working closely along side Quinn as well. Right away Quinn and Cassidy's relationship becomes intimate.
It's a race against time for Cassidy and Quinn to find the ones responsible for the kidnapping and to stop their evil plans before the Others are exposed and Cassidy's loved ones are harmed as well.
Wolf At The Door is jam-packed with mystery, thrills and it's full of fascinating characters. Quinn is incredibly sexy and Cassidy is strong and intelligent. Their passion is scorching! This story draws you in with a familiar time and setting and then it's blended with an edge of the supernatural. Christine Warren does paranormal stories so well, and Wolf At The Door is no exception. This new series is proving to be a very entertaining and exciting one!

As a whole, I like this book. The characters could have used some more development to bring about more depth. They were what I would call sufficient, but they would have been stunning had they been better developed. The plot was predictable. The theme of supernatural beings on the verge of being discovered by humans is quite popular in this genre at the moment. If you're looking for a book with some intense "romantic moments" between total strangers who are in touch with their inner beasts this may be the book for you. There is a rush and lack of details about this book that make it seem more like an expanded short story than an actual novel. I pre-ordered the next novel in the series.
Great new series! March 9, 2006

Another race exists outside of humans- the Others, populated by a variety of supernatural beings....
Sullivan Quinn is determined to get the Council of Others to listen to him. Little does he expect a scent to derail him... but the honeysuckle smell is irresistible to his werewolf nose. He follows the scent and finds Cassidy Poe, a Foxwoman and granddaughter of the most formidable Council member. There's no way Cassidy's grandmother will approve a mating between a werewolf and her Cassidy but bigger problems have come up. A group is stalking the Others and is willing to do anything to expose them... anything, including murder. Can Cassidy and Quinn work together to save the Others?
Christine Warren combines romance, suspense, and the paranormal together in the prefect blend. The mystery of this story was an added bonus. The relationship between Cassidy and Quinn happens almost instantaneously and then over the course of the book develops into something lasting as these two realize the power of a true mating.
I really like the idea of a society of Others with their own governing body. It will be interesting to see how this concept develops in the future books but Christine Warren is certainly off to a good start with WOLF AT THE DOOR. The villains found in the Light of Truth (aka as the Lightheads) aren't as well developed as the Council itself, but the storyline still seems fresh even upon a second reading two years after the initial publishing date of WOLF AT THE DOOR.
Christine Warren shows a true flair for world building in WOLF AT THE DOOR. The power of this story isn't necessarily in the individual characters but rather in the overall creation of a hidden society of Others. I look forward to more tales featuring the Others as WOLF AT THE DOOR is an excellent start to the series!

Christine Warren is great at telling paranormal romance with splashes of erotica thrown in to good effect. In creating the world of the others, which she has played around with in e-books before, she has a winner of a world that I would like to see more of.
Sullivan Quinn is a werewolf & also the head of a European delegation of Others( Selkie, WereBear, you get the idea) who have come to New York to meet with their American counterparts to consider the Unveiling- admitting to the human world at large that fairy tales & nightmares do indeed exist.However, his nose is getting him in trouble when he smells Cassidy Poe. He knows the Foxwoman is his destined mate & he can't get enough of her even though she may not see things from his side of the otherworld political lines.
The two may not see eye to eye in everything but they quickly come to an agreement in the bedroom. When all hell breaks out, literally with a demon appearring, the two must work together to help save the world they love & prepare their people for the coming Unveiling.

While this novel can be read as a stand-alone book, much of the background and characters are not well fleshed out as they have their own stories in the authors "Fixed" series of eBooks published by Ellora's Cave.
If you prefer not to start in the middle of a series, I highly recommend you download the other stories first. Book 5 of the Fixed series - Fur For All - is Rafeael De Santos and Tess' story.
