Dr. Melanie Harding did not believe in werewolves. She was a veterinarian. She owned her own clinic in rural Maryland. She was a scientist. She knew there was no such things as werewolves. She knew that injured dog she found late at night, practically on her doorstep was just a big dog.

So why did everybody in town insist he was a werewolf?

What was going on out at that top secret military base that hunky Major Drew Connell worked at?

What is Alpha Force?

This book has everything. An engaging heroine. A wild hero. Suspense galore.

Yours forever between the covers of a book,
Lady Mischief

About Lady Mischief & Why She Reviews

This is a blog dedicated to the reader. The woman, or man, who spends money on a book and would like to know they are getting something worth the investment.

I am a Lady and a Mother.

I work, I shop, I budget, I read.

What I spend money on is very important to me. Every penny counts, so before I buy something I measure the value in three ways.
1. The cost of a loaf of bread.
2. The cost of a gallon of milk.
3. The cost of a pack of diapers.

If a book costs me 2 gallons of milk or a pack of diapers then it had better be worth it.

Romance readers range from stay-at-home Moms to Diplomats. From Waitresses to Molecular Scientists.

Some readers may earn less than $10,000 per year while others make more than $100,000.

The woman who works in the diner and spent half the day cleaning and restocking without a customer in sight (which means no tips) may be working 3-4 hours just to buy one paperback book.

Buying a book, even a paperbook, can be the equivalent of 2-3 hours pay for some people, when you factor in deductions.

The book they buy had better be a good one.

That is why I decided to include books which rate a 1 or a 2 ice treat in my reviews. If I had to spend my money on them and read them, then it is my duty to save the rest of the reading world from having to read the same dreck.

If I give a book 3 ice treats it means it is a good book and you should read it. I have no doubts about it.

Four (4) treats mean there is something special.

Five (5) treats is truly outstanding.

A two (2) is readable, barely, you might like it better than I did.

But a one (1), honey, I wouldn't touch that one with someone else's Kindle.

What it all means

Five (5)
