Wolf Fever
Sourcebooks, Dec 2010
Book 6
Carol Woods wanted more than
anything to be a nurse at the hospital in Silver Town, Colorado
where her family lives, but she never foresaw how she’d end up with the job. Now she’s a red werewolf facing a
mating, trying to forestall shifting for a variety of reasons—one of which has to do with a swine flu virus that seems
to be attacking the werewolf kind in a bad way, while working with a private investigator who doesn’t believe in her
psychic abilities one bit. So why does she thinks she’s falling in love with the infuriating gray?
Chester McKinley can’t get his mind off
the entrancing woman, a nurse, a newly turned red lupus garou belonging to another gray pack and the only one left who might
be able to learn how to stop the swine flu virus from making a permanent impact on their kind. Although he doesn’t want
to draw Carol into this dangerous situation or believe she is involved, he has no other choice. But does the woman really
have psychic abilities that are keeping her from shifting, or is she a fraud, a master at deception, and is behind the infections
of their people? And how can he keep his hands off the intriguing woman, and his mind on the mission as the virus takes its
toll?
Top Ten Reasons Why Werewolves Don't Cheat on Their Mates! by Terry Spear, guest blogger at Love
Romance Passion and author of Wolf Fever - Have you seen what big teeth they have?
- Even if they did think of cheating, it would
be pretty difficult to disguise such a thing—did you
know how sensitive their sense of smell is?
- And if they arrived in disguise as a wolf,
they’d leave scent markings behind just from their paw pads.
So their wronged mate wouldn’t even need to contact that TV show where they chase cheating boyfriends and girlfriends
down to catch them in the act.
- But these are all reasons why cheating for wolves
wouldn’t work out well. In truth, werewolves with a moral code of ethics wouldn’t
cheat because staying with a mate for life is instinctual.
- However, if the wolf has
a roaming eye, remember point number 1, their mate has very big teeth.
- If the wolf isn’t careful, he or she could be in the doghouse—and believe me, that’s really bad for a wolf. Any references to being a dog is worse
than bad. That’s because dogs have the morals of an alley cat. Hmm…and how did she go from talking about werewolves
to cats, you wonder?
- If the wolf was an alpha—even though in the wild only
the alphas take mates, werewolves don’t have the problem with that since they can buy food from the grocery store—he
would lose top dog (all right, top wolf) status. Then where would he be? An omega wolf, that’s what.
- And omega wolves don’t have mates. Ever. Probably not even if they’re a
werewolf. Life isn’t fair and if you don’t want to be an omega, you’ve got to straighten out your—I’m
sorry, I didn’t meant to say YOU were an omega…just anyone who is one would have to get their act together and
maybe make it to beta status, and with a big jump, maybe to alpha status. So what alpha wolf in their right mind would want
to stray from their mate and end up as an omega?
- So my question would be, why
would any wolf ever even consider straying?
- It all comes back to—their mate has REALLY big teeth.
And if you don’t believe me, just take a look at Wolf Fever !! My faithful wolves wish you all a Happy Holiday Season! The unfaithful ones
are in the doghouse… Terry

Wolf Fever is another winner of a
story that kept me on the edge
with its unique master storytelling and plot. There are villains of
different flavors and degrees that prevented me from guessing which way
Ms. Spear was going to go. I enjoyed the brisk dialogue and the insights
it gave me as I read. I liked Carol and Ryan as a couple and Ryan’s
sister is a hot ticket. The quality of writing is as strong as ever and a
must read for paranormal wolf fans who enjoy a romance laced with humor
along with great suspense. It sure made it a hard to put down book. For
me, I didn’t want to stop reading, even when it was time to go to bed.
Who wants sleep when they’re in the middle of reading a story by Ms.
Spear? Her writing is pure entertainment.~~Long and Short Reviews
This is
the sixth installment in Ms. Spear's
werewolf series. Their story is a terrific suspense and there is enough
action to keep a reader fascinated and interested. You will find
yourself rooting for Carol and Ryan to get their happy ending. Ms. Spear
brings back charters from the earlier stories; it is just like coming
home again and seeing old friends. Be on the lookout for Ms. Spear's
next installment of her werewolf series out in June 2011 called Heart of the Highland Wolf.~~Robin, Night Owl Reviews

When I hear Terry Spear has a new release coming...I make sure I don't
have any books in progress because I will drop it to read her books!Yet
again I was not disappointed!
The story begins there and it flows so well that once again I
couldn't
put the book down. I loved the characters, I loved the mystery aspect, I
loved the unpredictable parts and of course I love the ending.

Romance/Shapeshifter
Mass Market Paperback Carol
and Chaz have fantastic chemistry, and the tension of the desire they
are fighting alongside the deadly spreading disease in their midst adds
page-turning excitement that just doesn’t stop. Spear’s trademark of
using realistic wolf characteristics and behavior remains refreshingly
delightful as does her introduction of secondary characters and
subplots within the main storyline. Savor this one slowly because
Spear’s next wolf series book, tentatively titled Heart of the Highland Wolf, is not due out
until June 2011.
"A
riveting, entertaining werewolf novel with fun characters and storyline."A riveting and entertaining novel, WOLF FEVER is a lot of
fun and makes one want to devour all of the rest of
Terry Spear's books.~~Vicky Gilpin, Fresh Fiction
RomFan Reviews:
"Book six in her Werewolf Series Terry
Spear delivers another smash hit again. Ryan had been burned before by
someone saying they could see the future so determined to prove Carol a
fraud he is afraid to admit the truth that he is wrong (typical man).
Carol is strong and able to prevent the change something no turned
werewolf has been able to do she has no idea how unique she is. The
chemistry between Carol and Ryan is sizzling this book is a must read
and for those who have not had the pleasure of Ms. Spears wolves don’t
worry they can be read as stand alones even though some secondary
characters have their own stories not necessary to read them first."Annette gives this
book
Book Addict Reviews for Wolf Fever!"My thoughts:
I really enjoy reading Terry Spear's wolves; she is very good at
making the wolf come across in their human counterparts. I love her
Alpha males, and even though she was a new wolf, Carol was such a
stubborn Alpha female, it was fun to see the Beta males trying
(unsuccessfully) to win her affections. The social hiearchy of the
packs was also well-done; although not the hero of this story, Darien
was a great Alpha leader who was willing to work with another Alpha to
resolve his problems. The sickness plot was interesting - biological
warfare within werewolf packs is a novel storyline and it worked here,
providing a dose of urgency to the story.I'm looking forward to the next book in this
series - Heart of the Highland Wolf."~~Patti
"With every book Terry writes I love the werewolf series more and more. Terry doesn't disappoint her fans with
Wolf Fever .
One of the best things about the books Terry writes is she always give
you what you crave. She gives the readers strong, stubborn heroines and
alpha heroes, along with a wonderful fast-paced story. Wolf Fever is by far my favorite one to date. It is everything a reader could want, plus a little humor and some sizzling sexual tension. Overall
Wolf Fever was addictive and hard to put down. The storyline had me turning the pages late into the night. Wolf Fever is the perfect gift for any paranormal romance fan this Christmas season." ~~~5 Hearts! MDobson Sizzling Hot Book Reviews "This
book has all the right ingredients for a great fantasy romance novel
and if you like werewolves then you'll love this story. I'm looking
forward to reading the other books in this series. Check out more about
this series at Terry Spear's website. Terry also writes Medieval Scottish romances so I'm definitely going to get myself one of those next!" Alaine's Queen of Happy Endings
