After a twelve-hour shift in a busy emergency room, Janet O'Brien is beat. Her last patient arrives unconscious and naked. She's lead to believe he's a psyche patient off his meds. However, once he awakens, Janet is charmed by his million-dollar smile and agrees to give him a ride home.

Werewolf, Max Ritter notices the sassy nurse when he wakes after a night under the full moon. Unfortunately, his archrival is drawn to Janet as well. In order to keep her out of harm's way, he opts to keep her close. When the chemistry between them sparks, Max discovers a completely new reason to keep Janet safe.

Hmm... This was... nice, I guess. It didn't capture me as The MacCoinnich series did, and it felt somewhat rush. I also felt like there wasn't much going on, and things were kind of anti climactic... The bad guy was much too easy to defeat, his threats that he'd hurt Janet actually came to nothing and it just seemed... I don't know. Not as much as I know Bybee is capable of. I loved the ending, though;
"“I love you, Janet O’Brien. Marry me.”
“This is crazy!”
“Marry me.”
“I’m in love with a dog.”
He smiled, not missing her words. “I’m a wolf.”
“I’m going to be Mrs. Wolf.”
His lips tugged, his dimples flashed. “You’re going to be Mrs. Ritter.”
"
I think this should've ended here, without the last three sentences after this. It would've been a perfect ending that way, in my opinion.
