Once A Wolf    by Susan Krinard Order:  USA  Can Bantam, 2000 Paperback     Reviewed by Martina Bexte Once A Wolf is the second of a trilogy about a noble English family with werewolf bloodlines. This volume tells the story of Rowena Forster. She has left England and her werewolf family far behind, is living in New York, and about to marry wealthy financier, Cole MacLean. He's also a werewolf and despises what he is as much as Rowena does. She has no feelings for Cole, but decides they would make a suitable match because of their common secret, and their mutual decision that neither would ever willingly undergo the Change, which involves taking werewolf form. Thomas Alejandro Randall has sworn revenge against MacLean after the financier destroyed Randall's family and birthright. Kidnapping and seducing his enemy's fiancee are his first steps in achieving vengeance. As they journey across the plains, Rowena is determined to endure, secure in the knowledge that she will defy the outlaw at every turn and that MacLean, with his many minions and resources, will hunt them down and bring El Lobo to justice. But she soon discovers that Randall is also a werewolf, and far from being the bloodthirsty outlaw that everyone is gunning for. Brimming with action, atmosphere, shady characters who aren't what they appear, more dark family secrets, and sizzling passion, Rowena's story is top notch.
