This short story was great. I loved the Norse elements. I am really interested in knowing more about this world of Wildings.
The heroine was really cool. Kim is a wildlife expert, very sassy and smart. She is a ranger studying a huge wolf. The wolf has been sighted crossing the continental US from the East Coast to where she is on the West Coast. Kim is so enthralled by the wolf that she wishes for a man as wonderful compared to other men as the wolf is compared to other wolves.
Happily, she gets her wish. The hero, a special kind of wolf shifter, had lost himself into his wolf form. Apparently, that sometimes happens, but they don’t normally ever regain their ability to be human again. We get his point of view to see what it is like for him to recover his humanity, which I have never read in any other shifter book. And it is wonderful!
I loved this very original wolf shifter romance. There is some action, an immediate attraction of fated mates and some hot sex. Really well written.

Blurb:

Fear the wilding.

That’s what every werewolf learns, from the oldest alpha to the strongest Odin’s Wolf warrior and even their rival Fenris Wolves. The wilding steals the soul, the humanity, and finally the human form. A shifter lost to the wilding is a wolf, a man no more.

When natural scientist, forest ranger, and curvy girl Kimberly Ingalls finds herself forming a strangely emotional connection to the object of her observation, Wolf A217, she never dreams that her fantasies of what 217 would look like as a man would ever come true… until alpha werewolf Will finds himself called back from wolf form to claim his very human, very curvy mate.
