Excerpt:
If nothing else she was
warmer now. How long would the rain last? Do
I want to wait it out and then try to find a washroom – in the dark? Rayne shook her head before she could go any
further with that thought. There was no way she was getting out of this car
until it was light out, rain or no rain.
How many hours until daylight? She debated very briefly whether she could
squirm around and reach the purse to get her phone. Highly
doubtful. Besides being cocooned in
the puffy material, the phone was off for a reason and turning it on just to check
the time wasn’t worth the risk of Aiden being able to trace the location. Truthfully she didn’t know if that was
possible even though all the movies referenced it being so, but understanding
what type of man Aiden was and what he was capable of, she wasn’t taking any
chances.
Working one arm free from the
bag, she shifted far enough forward to reach the ignition; he couldn’t track
the cars clock. Turning the key, her
heart sunk when she noted the time, there were too many hours left until
dawn. She looked out the windshield and
froze, her heart jumped into her throat. Afraid to so much as breathe, Rayne
stared at the animal a few feet away from the headlight. Her brain first said dog, but that was no
dog. That was a wolf; it had to be a
wolf. Were wolves that big? It
seemed bigger than in any pictures she’d seen.
She sat there looking at it,
not sure if she should honk the horn or just sit and try not to get hysterical
waiting for it to leave. The car may be
metal, but the roof was something this animal could probably get through. As
she continued to stare at it she couldn’t help thinking it was a beautiful
creature. It’s grey and brown fur looked soft and thick, not that she’d ever be
able to find out if it was. It was the
way the haunting grey eyes watched her that made her decide not to honk the
horn or scream as loud as she could, which had crossed her mind briefly. Rayne was fairly certain it was as surprised
to see her as she was to see it. Didn’t wolves travel as group? A pack?
She wanted to look around and see if there were more in the trees, but
the logical part of her brain said she was better off not knowing. Never argue with the logical part.
She was sure she stopped
breathing all together when it took a step closer to the car and then turned
quickly back towards the trees. As she
was reaching for the keys it stopped and looked back at her for the length of
two heart beats before it bolted into the trees and disappeared.
Turning off the key, she sat
in the dark leaning back against the seat while she tried to remind her body
how to take air in. In this moment with her heart beating so loud she could
hear it, or at least it felt that way, Rayne reached the decision that she was
not getting out of the car until daylight, and even then was questionable. One more conclusion was also not turning the
lights on again; her mental state was much better not knowing what else was
outside of the car. She checked to make
sure the door was locked, she did know a wolf wouldn’t just walk up and use the
door handle, but she felt better knowing that she was locked in and more
importantly other things were locked out.
Pulling her arm back into the sleeping bag, Rayne shuffled down as
far as she could and closed her eyes.
The sooner she slept, the closer daylight was to getting here. Over the noise of the water beating off the
car, she thought she heard a howl.
Review
Okay,
so if you have read my other reviews of Jacqueline Paige’s books, you know I’m
a HUGE fan. And this book proved to be
just as fabulous. In fact, I stayed up
waaay to late reading. If you are a
romance, were-, shifter, or helpless female become strong fan then this is the
book for you.
I
loved the fact that the heroine in this story didn’t need a man to rescue her,
but was still open to having a big strong man in her life. Of course we learn the truth near the end…
but I’m not giving it away here.
I
give this story 5 out of 5 clouds.
