As in, we are not all giddy to cook and clean, boys. All that is girlie is new to them and they are so adorable, discovering their misconceptions about the female gender.

Now that she is the first and only female in the pack, they are mighty curious about her and as boys will be boys, they are super curious about the couple's sex life, listening at the door.

My favorite part has to be when all the young wolves are entranced by Carla. It was a peek into her heart and very true to character. Writing songs was a clever way for Carla to become all too human to the readers. He struggles to understand her and what it means to be a good husband while she struggles to find a place in a new world and new time. Taye is precious as he works to figure Carla out and prove to her that he is a good man who wants her happiness and love. In effect, we would all react differently and that is exactly what she has done with her characters in this book and I suspect the subsequent books in the series as well. Her portrayal of how a lady of our times would deal emotionally as well as physically under the circumstances was quite believable. Not only did she have to translate her vision of Armageddon, but she also created a world in which shifters and the clan of Native Americans they arose from are believable and outted to the world at large.

Barone)Ĭarla got on a plane headed out on a music tour only to crash fifty years in the future. I really hope more of those crash survivors find some shifter men for mates. She did not disappoint and you will find me following this series in the future. Add in a rock star named Carla, and Maddy Barone had me mighty curious about her new tale, SLEEPING WITH THE WOLF. Armageddon fifty years in the future with werewolves? Talk about a new twist on an old idea.
