CLICK TO PURCHASE! Kinsey W. Holley’s KISS AND KIN is a novella of frustrated werewolf love of a familial kind.

Lark Manning has a good job, great friends and a wonderful family. She is also in love with her cousin, a sexy werewolf that thinks of her as a little sister. Taran Lloyd is a detective for the Shifters Investigations Unit, and tortures himself daily with his desperate need for Lark, his cousin in a not blood-related kind of way. When Lark is nearly kidnapped by a rival pack in the middle of an investigation he is involved with, Taran makes it his mission to keep her safe.

This reader always enjoys a little forbidden love and an alpha werewolf. These guys all seem so strong and tough and end up being more teddy bear than wolf after they give in to their mates that you just have to enjoy the sexually frustrating and bumpy ride along the way.

Lark, our heroine, is human in a family of mixed humans and werewolves. She is your typical lusty female dreaming of a man she can’t imagine will ever return her feelings. Taran is all alpha wolf, strong, virile, demanding and afraid to admit to feelings for a woman he believes thinks of him as a cousin.

Through all this frustrated lusting, Taran is trying to solve an investigation of missing women believed to be kidnapped by a band of Czech bad guys. His personal and professional lives meet when Lark is targeted by this group and Taran intervenes in the nick of time. Though KISS AND KIN ends before this storyline is resolved, it does set up future stories of wolfie romance with other minor characters in the book. The pace is steady, the characters interesting, the sex hot and the story all too short. But for a novella, this is everything this reader hopes for. Kinsey W. Holley is a promising new paranormal romance author and KISS AND KIN is just the beginning of what this reader hopes will be many more sexy wolf tales to come.
