This was a new author for me. Can't say I cared for this book much...I found it hard to follow at times.

Falling victim to a beautiful witch, O'Banyon, the 'Irish Wolf,' has been cursed for centuries, until he encounters Antoinette Desbonnete, a mysterious and alluring young countess who possesses a powerful gift that may hold the key to his ultimate destiny.
I wasn't sure from the summary that it was a Regency Romance, so that was a bit surprising. Also, the book is a bit lighter in content than it's size would suggest and the female lead's back story is never quite fully fleshed out.
In the end, the book was a light, quick, unexceptional read.
