In the second book of the Heart of the Wolf series, red wolf Lelandi has traveled to Silver Town, Colorado in search of the person who killed her sister, Larissa, but first she needs to meet with Larissa’s mate, Darien. Lelandi has a lot of secrets—she’s in danger from her own pack, she believes her parents are dead, and her brother is missing. Her life is all about revenge, and she’s not about to let a seductive gray wolf stand in her way.
Darien Silver is the gray pack leader of the Silver Town wolves, and he’s in mourning over the death of his pregnant mate. When he meets Lelandi, he’s in shock. The two women are near-identical twins (actually, they’re triplets with a brother), but he recognizes Lelandi as the woman he’s seen in his dreams. He soon realizes he mated the wrong sister and sets out to take Lelandi for his own.
Though I liked the story, I couldn’t connect with the H/h. Both Darien and Lelandi kept too many secrets from each other. He was also very protective of her—which an alpha hero should be—but his actions and words were often sexist and too controlling. Lelandi, luckily, had a backbone and did what she wanted anyway, but he often seduced her to bend her to his will. I also couldn’t understand how his feelings for Larissa just disappeared after he realized she lied to him about being his soul mate.
I was a little confused since details were breezed over in the beginning and sometimes the wrong names were being used. For example, I thought Larissa was originally mated to Bruin, not to Crassus. At least that’s how it seemed at first. Also, in one scene Lelandi is sitting on the couch and then her dead sister, Larissa, is on the couch. The wrong name was used, unless I misread something again.
Anyway, I enjoyed the mystery of who blackmailed and killed Larissa. I really felt sorry for the poor girl. Darien’s brothers and other members of his pack, especially Silva and Sam, were awesome secondary characters. I can’t wait to see what happens with them in future books. We officially meet Leidolf, the red wolf who helped the couple in the previous book, and I’m even more intrigued with him and his connection with newly turned wolf Carol.

I enjoyed this book a bit more than the first in the series. Each book must represent a different couple and possibly a different pack. This book seemed to have more mystery involved and more side stories going on than the first and it was easy to get lost in the world and hard to put the book down when real life called. I do have to admit to being very confused in the beginning, but I'm sure that's what the author was going for. I'm interested to see if the series continues to get better with each book. ( )

An exciting paranormal romance with lots of action and plot twists but the heroine seemed more like a loose cannon rather than a smart alpha and a couple trust issues were suppressed with sex. Red wolf shifter Lelandi is out to find her sisters killer in the territory of grey wolf pack leader Darien.

This book had me confused at first.. they were calling the main person a different name, i thought that i was writen by mistake.. This action was good but it was not a fast easy read like Terry Spears other books. ( )

Terry Spear’s wolves are neither wild nor tame. They live in modern day small towns, keeping their identity secret from their human friends, running hospitals, schools, police stations, bars… There’s a human girl who wants to be a nurse, but sick werewolves aren’t quite the same as sick humans. And there’s a girl who’s pretending to be human, but wolves can tell the difference straight away.

Terry Spear’s wolves are sensual, sweet, dangerous and delightful, and her stories are full of intriguing details about a life so different from our own. From the family dynamics of multiple births to the curious etiquette of clothes-shedding and shape-shifting, the background to this tale rings so true I find myself listening in the night—are there wolves in Oregon?

One of Terry’s packs is in Oregon, though not the one the story centers on, not that that was a problem. (I'll just have to read her other books.) Scenery and weather are as beautifully described as the animals, people and stories. Darien’s dream wife has committed suicide. Her twin sister infiltrates the pack in search of more information, and rumors immediately fly that she wants to take her sister’s place as the pack leader’s wife. But Darien and Lelandi are already falling in love, and someone is not above committing murder to keep them apart.

As the story progresses, the reader learns of silver bullets, rapid healing, frozen winters, underwear worn under ancient hooped skirts, and the essence of lovemaking coupled with the senses of the wolf. It all makes for a passionate, enjoyable read, full of action, mystery and romance, with love and betrayal lending spice and intrigue to the mix. ( )

I dedicate Destiny of the Wolf to the memory of my father,
who believed with all his heart I'd be published, but died
of a fast-spreading cancer before theta day came. He was
a true hero, who survived numerous near-death catastro-
phes--form a dwindling sandbar in the incoming rush of
tidal waters of the Duwamish River when he was four,
to a typhoon in the Persian Gulf, to a sunken sailboat in
the shark-infested Sea of Japan, and many, many more
such adventures--yet always maintained a wonderful
sense of humor and live life to its fullest.
