Erotic Paranormal romance from Sarah McCarty. Three consecutive related stories about 3 sisters who each discover that the man of her dreams is a werewolf. The stories are good, if a little predictable. The sex scenes are hot, even if there's a little too much dialogue. The ending leaves room for a sequel. This book is fair. I like McCarty's western historical better.
Erotic Paranormal Romance. There are three stories in this, but they take place one right after the other, and the three together make up a complete story arc. The stories were both wonderfully romantic and very hot.

This was the first book that I had read by this particular author, and I have to say it didn't disappoint. The three sisters are all strong, independent women, but the show it in their own way. The males are all super-hunky, macho, bad-asses but are really big teddy bears. Great, quick read. I will definitely be reading more of SM's books!

Excellent read! I love shifter books [although there's not a whole lot of shifting going on]. This is three novella length stories which [quite seamlessly] make up a novel. Each novella centers on a different [hot!] were hero and the process of matching him up with his heroine. The three heroines are sisters but each has her own, well-drawn 'feel' to her character. The heroes are the two brothers and a cousin who fall for them. Again, each character is distinctly drawn; no 'open plot and insert alpha hero here' stuff. Though each novella contains it's own plot, the novel has story threads reaching across them all.
What can I say? Tight action, suspense, great characters... Yep, I'm going to be looking for the rest of her stuff!
Order is important as the overall story arc [the formation and building of Haven - a non-traditional pack] continues across the series.
Running Wild
Wild Instinct

werewolves and sassy sisters. three linked novellas by the same author bring the reader into a world of beefcake men who take their mating seriously. their alpha male style courtship sweeps each woman off her feet and into a bed of sexual fire. The author offers interesting characters and relationship development. A very entertaining read.

After this book all of Sarah McCarty's books are on my must read list. Completely filled out characters, great storyline, steamy sex, great alpha males with a paranormal twist, love the female leads in each of these stories.
All in all a great read!
All in all a great read!
This is a new author for me and I really enjoyed it. It was hot and funny.
Great read. The three stories are connected and overlap to make a hot and steamy read. The characters find true love along the way.
Sarah McCarty's second book in the series(Wild Instincts) continues the overlap...a must read. HOT

Wow, if you love Lora Leigh's Breed Series then you will love Sarah McCarty. Erotic, Sensual, Emotional and so interesting I couldn't wait for the next story. I want to become a member of the pack.
This book consisted of three stories that combine into a bigger one. The three female leads were three sisters while the males were one set of twin and their cousin. The sisters were human and the males werewolves.
The stories were fun and the alpha males were dominant but somehow sexy, not overbearing. They really should have been and I am not sure how McCarty managed to make them so great.
My only complaint was that the the leads were too similar to each other with the same phrases and conversation tags.
I loved the humor and the bravado of all three ladies. Great, little mindless read.

These stories are pretty good, and move fast since they're short-stories linked into one larger novel. However, her male-dominance isn't sexy--it's frightening. She attempts a shifter society like Nalini Singh's changelings--where the male is dominant, but loves & protects his mate at all costs--and she falls flat. Very very flat.
McCarty's males are "my way or the highway" abusers--they simply tell a woman NO & shut her up with force if need be--and "discipline" her if she acts out. Scary stuff in this age of abused & battered women.
She also has a sickness for ANAL SEX. It's just wrong. She ruins a perfectly good, erotic sex scene with what amounts to forcible anal rape. For any woman who's had to endure that...I feel sorry.
So I liked the books, but I was disturbed by them at the same time. Wait for them to be traded--don't buy them like I did.

first of all, this is one book, not 3 books in one, its about 3 sisters and 3 werewolves, but seriously, each one is just like the other, I was so bored with how predictible the lines were going to be I could say them out loud before I even read the words... this was so not worth the wait or the credit... I am going to post this book, but it is as I recieved it, the front cover is creased, so if you are the one getting my book, know that!!!!
