S.E.X. Review~ How to Howl at the Moon by Eli Easton

Sheriff Lance Beaufort is not going to let trouble into his town, no sir. Tucked away in the California mountains, Mad Creek has secrets to keep, like the fact that half the town consists of ‘quickened’—dogs who have gained the ability to become human. Descended on both sides from Border Collies, Lance is as alert a guardian as they come. 

Tim Weston is looking for a safe haven. After learning that his boss patented all of Tim’s work on vegetable hybrids in his own name, Tim quit his old job. A client offers him use of her cabin in Mad Creek, and Tim sees a chance for a new start. But the shy gardener has a way of fumbling and sounding like a liar around strangers, particularly gorgeous alpha men like Sheriff Beaufort. 

Lance’s hackles are definitely raised by the lanky young stranger. He’s concerned about marijuana growers moving into Mad Creek, and he’s not satisfied with the boy’s story. Lance decides a bit of undercover work is called for. When Tim hits a beautiful black collie with his car and adopts the dog, its love at first sight for both Tim and Lance’s inner dog. Pretending to be a pet is about to get Sheriff Beaufort in very hot water. 

How to Howl at the Moon by Eli Easton was adorable and sweet. I fell in love with border collie shifter Lance and human Tim right from the beginning. Ms. Easton delivered levity with a bit of angst and turned this story into a fun read.

Lance’s border collie was tenacious and ever present, while Tim was serious with a playful edge, and together they made the perfect pair.

Ms. Easton created a new shifter world, adding elements not seen in other shifter books, and dogs?~ an added bonus.

Lance’s meddling mother Lily, was wonderfully nosy, sweet, and always at the ready. I adored her exuberant personality and her ability to make all feel welcome. Additionally, the other secondary characters, Gus and Roman, added to the storyline, making it all the better.

The first book in this series, a book well worth the read.
