Competently written. Fun. Still comes across with my standard werewolf gripes -- that is, the male lead is basically a woman in a man's body, focused on relationships and a fridged ex and only superficially a macho hero. The competing romance was ridiculous and the story should have been written more tightly, cut down in length by about 30-50%. All said though, I enjoyed the read. Trying to decide now whether to continue to the next in the series.
