His gifts help him uncover the hot stories. But his latest investigation will take him inside a sinister world of power and pleasure, alongside a woman who knows how to bring out the animal in him...

Lance Marshall has a nose for great news stories. It's not surprising, since his werewolf abilities allow him to move with greater speed and stealth than any human. Now he's on the prowl outside an ultra-exclusive Washington, D.C., nightclub—"The Castle"—a heavily protected building within a forested park. But he is not alone. There is someone else in the woods who wants to get inside the secretive club.

Savannah Carpenter's sister lies in a coma—and Savannah knows that the mysterious goings-on in the Castle have something to do with it. Her wild sister had visited the club several times to partake in some erotic—and dangerous—fun and games, and Savannah wants answers. To get them, she joins forces with Lance, and the two pretend to be lovers to gain entrance.

But the raw passion that arises between them is anything but an act. And the closer they get to each other, the closer they get to uncovering the truth—and the monstrous evil that lies in the heart of the Castle...

About the author

... Show More
Ruth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.

Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..

Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.

Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.

Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

The book had a few sex scenes that I found a little over the top.

Maybe it was partly because it was written by my mom, which made it a bit uncomfortable for me.

To be honest, if I'm in the mood to read about graphic sex, I'd much rather pick up a copy of Penthouse Forum.

However, despite the issue with the sex scenes, the book was still a good read overall.

The story was engaging and well-written, and I found myself getting caught up in the characters and their lives.

I think that if the author had toned down the sex scenes a bit, it would have been an even better book.

But as it is, it's still worth reading if you can overlook that aspect.

Overall, I would recommend this book to others, but I would also warn them about the graphic content.

Blah, corny!

This simple expression seems to carry a certain sense of dissatisfaction or dismissal. It might be used when someone finds something overly sentimental, trite, or lacking in originality. The word "blah" implies a sense of boredom or uninterest, while "corny" emphasizes the cheesy or hackneyed nature of the thing being described. It could refer to a movie, a song, a joke, or even a person's behavior. For example, if someone tells a joke that has been told a million times before, you might respond with "Blah, corny!" Or if you watch a romantic movie with a predictable plot and sappy dialogue, you might think to yourself, "This is so corny." In essence, "Blah, corny!" is a way to express your lack of enthusiasm for something that fails to meet your expectations or capture your interest.

I truly relish a captivating paranormal romance novel. However, this particular one failed to draw me in. It wasn't merely the s&m aspect that deterred me. Instead, I felt that the story seemed to be crafted solely with the intention of presenting the dom/sub sex scenes.

Everything centers around a club where individuals can go to fulfill their dom/sub fantasies. While this concept has its appeal, it begs the question: why on earth would these two people have to agree to such a relationship in order to investigate a newspaper article or a murder? It was an extremely flimsy premise that could have been executed far more effectively.

Primarily, it was a PWP (plot what plot) with not very engaging "p" (plot). It wasn't a complete waste as it managed to accompany me through a few cardio workouts. Nevertheless, if I hadn't been left with this book as my sole source of entertainment, I highly doubt I would have bothered to finish it.

Overall, it was a disappointment that didn't quite live up to the potential of the paranormal romance genre.

Another good werewolf, vampire, supernatural romp!!

This story is filled with all the elements that make a supernatural romance so exciting. The werewolves are fierce and loyal, their strength and wildness adding an edge to the narrative. The vampires, on the other hand, are mysterious and alluring, with their immortal beauty and dark powers.

The romance between the main characters is intense and passionate, as they navigate the challenges and obstacles that come their way. The supernatural world they inhabit is richly detailed, with unique creatures and magical abilities that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.

Overall, this is another great addition to the werewolf and vampire romance genre. It has everything you could want in a supernatural romp - action, adventure, romance, and a touch of the unknown. If you're a fan of this type of story, then you won't want to miss it!

Read on January 26th, 2007.

Re-read in September 2015.

This simple record of reading and re-reading dates holds a certain significance. It shows that the text or material in question has captured the attention of the reader not just once but twice over a span of several years. The initial reading in 2007 might have left an impression, perhaps sparking an interest or providing some valuable insights. Then, in 2015, for whatever reason, the reader felt the need to revisit it. It could be that new experiences or knowledge had accumulated in the intervening years, making a re-reading more meaningful. Or perhaps the text had such a profound impact that it warranted a second look. In any case, these two dates serve as markers of the reader's engagement with the material and hint at the potential depth and importance it holds for them.

MMMMMMMM... MMMM.. MMM...

Sorry, but that's all I can say.

This simple statement holds a certain mystery and perhaps a touch of frustration.

It could imply that there is more to be said, but for some reason, the person is unable or reluctant to express it fully.

Maybe they are at a loss for words, or perhaps there are unspoken emotions or thoughts that are difficult to put into words.

It leaves the listener or reader with a sense of curiosity, wondering what lies beneath the surface of those repeated "M"s and the brief apology.

Could it be a secret, a problem, or simply a moment of confusion?

Only the person who said it truly knows, and for now, all we can do is wonder and perhaps wait for more to be revealed.
