Product Description
The sexy Young brothers may know a fang or two about the art of seduction, but their sister, Elizabeth, is positively mooning over a few issues of her own Bad Moon Rising Elizabeth Young's brothers think they have it rough as vampires? Ha! Two words for them: unwanted hair. What werewolf Elizabeth craves is a normal life with a husband, kids, and less shaving. Unfortunately the vaccine she's researched isn't working yet. Worse, she's in heataand soon every dangerous wolf pack for miles around will be at her door. To buy time, she needs to have sex, and often, with the first human male she can find Veterinarian Jensen Adler just meant to drown his sorrows, until a stunning, leather-clad brunette made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Now he's caught up in something really weird, definitely dangerous, and, okay, extremely hot. So his new girlfriend's hiding something (and she's a little freaky about the moon), but Jensen knows true love when he feels it, and this time, he's not giving upno matter how hairy things get.

 Nice Werewolf Romance (B+ Grade) November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Finally, an author has written an exceptional werewolf romance with an unyielding female as its lead. Kathy Love's My Sister is a Werewolf is loosely connected to her other series featuring three vampire brothers; this story is about their baby sister, an intelligent and loving woman who wants to be "normal," which means being human.
Elizabeth Young is a centuries old werewolf who relocated to Shady Fork, West Virginia after reuniting with her three brothers. Elizabeth lost her family after they were attacked by an evil vampire. It is never fully explained, but Elizabeth became a victim of a werewolf and was believed to be dead. She was discovered by alpha werewolf Brody Devlin, and lived with his pack until seven years ago when she choose to escape his maniacal rule.
The most important thing in Elizabeth's life at the moment is the creation of a vaccine to cure her "ailment." Lately, her concentration has been off and she has become restless with an irritating need for something - or rather someone - who can make it stop. Elizabeth has no idea that her "true mate" resides in the same town and she finds him at her brother's bar one night, where she has gone to let out her frustrations. She knows the moment when she lays eyes on Jensen Adler that he can help scratch her itch.
Jensen is the town's only veterinarian and lives with his loving grandfather. He refuses to let go of his guilt over the death of his high school sweetheart and the one night he finally agrees to go out with his friends, he is instantly enthralled with Elizabeth and overcome with lust. He soon leaves the bar because he can't handle the uncomfortable reaction but doesn't get very far because Elizabeth is waiting for him in the parking lot where they proceed to have some very hot sex in his truck. Afterwards, they are both horrified - Jensen as he doesn't even know her name, and Elizabeth because she feels as though her body has taken over her mind.
Elizabeth is the aggressor in this relationship at first, but all too soon Jensen wants more than just sweaty, mind-numbing sex with his mysterious lady. But she is not too keen on having a new boyfriend - how will she be able to hide her werewolf nature and find a cure? To say nothing of her psycho werewolf mate Brody, who could show up at any time to destroy her new happiness.
Brody himself is an interesting piece of work as he has no morals or scruples. His mind is so far gone that he can't decide if he still wants Elizabeth back or just wants to kill her because she has become so deeply involved with a human. Brody also comprehends the exact nature of Elizabeth and Jensen's relationship before either one of them does, which puts them both in grave danger.
Elizabeth eventually grasps that living as a werewolf may be a good thing rather than a hindrance while Jensen tries not to fall in love again because he has become so emotionally scarred from his fiancee's unfortunate demise. But, thankfully, he comes to the realization that his life isn't over sooner, rather than later, which helped things move along nicely. Elizabeth and Jensen do complete each other and by the end I believed they were perfect mates in every sense. The only disappointment I had was that the ending felt too sudden and too pat.
Kathy Love's past works tended to be very tame and a tad fluffy, so I was very surprised to discover My Sister Is a Werewolf (despite it's dreadful title and cover art) to be very insightful, erotic, and suspenseful. I enjoyed reading Elizabeth's journey to "being normal." So what if she howls at the full moon and becomes furry at certain times of the month?

My sister is a werewolf June 20, 2008
If you have read the previous 3 books from Kathy Love you have a basic Idea. If you have not read the serious it is not a problem this book does not leave you lost like others in a series.
My sister is a wereworlf is entertaining and a definate can't put the book down untill I am finished.My Sister is a Werewolf (The Young Brothers, Book 4)
cute book, nice weekend read May 9, 2008
this is a very good book that compliments the ones before. It finishes the series off nice. I wish there was going to be more, but it doesn't look like that.
anyway, I love this author and love the style of writing.
My Sister is a Werewolf January 16, 2008
Elizabeth Young is a werewolf in a family of vampires. She's trying to change that, though, by working on a vaccine that will cure her of her werewolf affliction. She thinks she's close, but nothing has worked.
Jensen Alder has come back to West Pines to take over his retired grandfather's veterinary practice. Jensen's fiancee died in a car accident. He feels terrible guilt over the event and doesn't plan on falling in love, until he meets Elizabeth in her brother's bar.
Jensen doesn't know Elizabeth is a werewolf. He just knows that he's very attracted to her. She obviously feels the same way, since she comes on to him the first night they meet. That meeting starts them on a ride over rugged terrain, where they will both face up to their feelings.
Alternating between sweet and tender, and erotic and hot, My Sister is a Werewolf is a fun, engaging thrill ride of a story. I loved watching Elizabeth and Jensen dance around their attraction to each other, and then finally learn to waltz together.
The feelings in this story pulled at my heartstrings and made me sigh in more than one place. My Sister is a Werewolf is a great addition to Ms. Love's Young Brothers' series. This is definitely a story that paranormal lovers won't want to miss.

Interesting... December 28, 2007

Great start to the book. Wonderful sex scenes, very hot. The writing or editing (I'm not sure which) falters a little at the end. When the hero is attacked by the bad guy his senses change (he can see in the dark). It seemed to me that he had started his "change" into a werewolf hero, but in the climax the heroine had to change him. So, what happened? Was it a miss in the editing or a plot change in the writing that never got fixed? Minor complaints, The Young Brothers Series is well worth the read. The first in the series is my favorite. I keep waiting for her to get that good again. She almost did in "Wanting What You Get", but I'm still waiting.
Kathy Love is well worth the read.
