His Wolf Heart by Lila Dubois

[reviews_and_ramblings]

The werewolves of Lila Dubois are were fashion and trendy: they party in WeHo nightclubs, dancing on pedestals, they live on the hills, in villas with private pools, and if they decided to leave the pack, they become the favourites of rag magazines and erotic artist muses. It’s a feast for the eyes to read about them, and where usually werewolves are worried about boring things like life threats and blood splattering, these werewolves instead worry more for how is the last trend for jeans and if purple makes them look too gay. They even use their paranormal skill to do better moves on the dancing floor!

Joke aside, this is a nice novella if you want to spend sometime in a comfortable zone, reading about guys who enjoy themselves. There is just a little of serious matter when Micah remembers how he was forced to leave his pack to become the Guardian of another one: Micah was gay and a gay werewolf can’t be a leader, he can be only the enforcer of an Alpha. And so Micah grew up with James’ pack, changing from gauntly teenager to hunky man while James, lean, blond and beautiful like an angel, made a reputation as playgay in Europe. If Micah feels something more for James, it’s something that can’t lead to anything: first of all I have the idea that Micah, even if stronger and savvier than James, doesn’t consider himself at his same level; and second, James is not boyfriend material, and he has also a reputation of being a cheater, two things that, from Micah’s perspective, all boy-next-door type, are unforgivable.

Obviously this is a romance, and obviously, like in the old-fashioned romance, the bad boy is not so bad, and the boy-next-door will teach him the importance of family and of a steady relationship. And if the good boy-next-door goes wild in the sack, well, it’s a good sign that James will not have to worry of being bored again, he will have no time to search distraction outside their relationship.
