"To save his lover, he must become his own worst nightmare. "Dr. Nick Sewell. Non-conformist. Werewolf. The first puts him at odds with his colleagues idea of how an All Saints College lecturer should behave. The second, bestowed upon him by an ex-boyfriend, puts him at odds with himself.

Having matriculated from Cambridge J.L. Merrow imbues the work with a setting and ambiance that oozes familiarity and gives the reader the sense of belonging to the setting without instilling a bevy of bewilderment through over-indulgent name dropping. I could go into detail about the mechanics and elements I found so well crafted, but I believe that I can merely tell you this is far more pithy than any "shifter" romance novel I have read. If you like your reading not overly sacharined yet3.5 starsThe more I read Merrows work the more I quite like her voice. Her latest, Camwolf, is an entertaining and enjoyable werewolf romance. The story takes a chance with a prominent female narrator but for the most part this works very well. The typical werewolf fight for dominance and animalistic behavior is handled well, contrasted beautifully against a mild mannered college of intelligent but reserved occupants. Some of this shift feels jarring and never quite hits an easy pace but the
I wanted to like this book. And on some level I loved it. I loved the description of Cambridge (which I know very well) and all those great little snide comments on the students/staff. Nadia, Tiff and Crack were fabulously real 3D characters, described extremely well (probably more interesting than the main characters), resulting in frequent giggles.The German characters however, as is far too often the case in English language fiction, seem to have sprung straight from NS fanfiction. For
2.5 stars.After reading J.L. Merrow's Muscling Through and Pricks and Pragmatism, both of which are a bit outside-the-box, I picked up Camwolf in hopes that it would have the same fresh, unexpected feel. Instead, it turned out to be a very standard m/m werewolf book in which instinct and a mating bond replace actual relationship development between the main characters. I never felt a real, emotional connection between Nick and Julian, and I was frustrated by how much of the book they spend
My very favorite thing about this book was the atmosphere. It's set at Cambridge, and the descriptions of the college they're at and the town and surrounding lands are fantastically vivid and gothic and great.I also really enjoyed that the story was told both from Nick's POV and from Tiffany's. I know that some other reviewers didn't like this, either for the perspective shifts, or for the vastly different views that the two had. I actually liked the perspective shifts (I could only handle being

This review was originally published on my blog Joyfully Jay.Cambridge professor Nick Sewell has found himself obsessed with student Julian Lauder. Something about the young man just calls to Nick, but he doesn't dare hope Julian will have any interest in him. Yet when he comes across Julian having a back alley encounter with another man, Nick's instincts kick in and he can't help but intervene, scaring off the suitor and tipping off Julian to what Nick really is... a werewolf.Nick is shocked
