Review of A Certain Wolfish Charm by Lydia Dare





A Certain Wolfish Charm is the writing duo known as Lydia Dare's first book in the werewolf trilogy featuring the Westfield Brothers.

A Certain Wolfish Charm features the eldest brother, Simon, the intimidating Duke of Blackmoor.

Like most dukes Simon has his flaws; he's annoying, cranky, entitled, loves to drink, gamble and hang out in irreputable establishments with a certain type of woman. But this Duke has a reason to be cranky, especially when the moon is full.

Lily has been caring for her nephew Oliver but the older he gets the harder he is getting for her to handle. Thinking he needs some male guidance she tries to contact Oliver's guardian, Simon Westfield the Duke of Blackmoor. The Duke tries to dodge her inquiries every chance he gets but she, being the stubborn and resourceful woman that she is, finally puts herself in the middle of his life...and his home. Simon can't ignore her now. And to his dismay he doesn't want to, though he knows he should or he will risk his animal nature being discovered.

Lily finds Simon to be annoying, a complete rake and...utterly irresitibale. Will she be strong enough to steer clear of the temptation?

An engrossing read, I can't wait to devour the other books in this series.

A fast paced book that kept me wanting more. A classic, almost gothic, style historical romance with a paranormal twist.
