Product Description:
Missy Roper’s fantasies have revolved around Graham Winters since the moment they met. But the imposing leader of the Silverback werewolf clan always seemed oblivious to Missy’s existence. At least he was, until Missy collides with him at a party and then abruptly runs away—arousing Graham’s interest…and wild desires.
Lupine law decrees that every Alpha must have a mate, and all Graham’s instincts tell him that the sensual, beguiling Missy is his. Trouble is, Missy is human—every delectable inch of her. Convincing his clan that she’s his destined mate, and keeping her safe from his enemies, will be the biggest challenge Graham has ever faced. And now that he is determined to have her—as his lover and as his mate—Missy’s world is changing in ways she never imagined…

This story was hot. After reading the sookie stackhouse, Anita Blake, and dark hunter series, this was a nice story to dive into. I would definery recommend this for paranormal fans out there!
Have fun reading!

I've read the whole series in order, but when I started reading this I thought it was a re-release and I'd missed one at the beginning of the series. Missy and Graham have been talked about so much in previous books I kind of felt it was a little late to have their story. Yet, I enjoyed it very much, as with all of Warren's books in the series. It did not disappoint. A quick read though.

As noted in the previous reviews, Missy has been attracted to Graham since she first saw him, while Graham doesn't even know she exists. He doesn't even realize that he walked down the aisle with her as "best man & maid of honor" at his friend's wedding! Then suddenly he takes one sniff and he's devoted for life. I get the wolf-mating-scent thing but honestly, this is a romance novel not Wild Kingdom. There's really no other relationship development going on and though Missy makes a token resistance based on the reality of the situation (up until 90 seconds ago he didn't even know she existed) still its all pretty weak. In addition, the background story is almost non-existent. I've read some of Ms. Warren's other books and enjoyed them very much; this one should have stayed an e-book. Don't waste your money.

At long last Graham and Missy's story, yippee! This is the second of Warren's Fixed series to be spiffed up and re-released and unlike One Bite With A Stranger (The Others, Book 6) (originally Fantasy Fix), this is the first print release of Big Bag Wolf (Fur Factor redux and redone) I am not an e-book person, so I have been waiting for Graham and Missy's since I first read Wolf on the Door and got hooked on Warren's Other series.
I really enjoyed this story, phew. I am so relieved, since I really didn't care for Graham's introduction in Fantasy Fix - even though I loved him in his supporting role in the rest of the Other books. At its heart Big Bad Wolf is still a novella even in its expanded form, the background story is pretty simple and the romance is relatively straightforward - the mating instinct does all the work - but it was nice and steamy and it is always fun to see a normal gal drive a hot supernatural hero to drooling lust, so it was all good. The sensuality level and language - with the exception of a word or two - is pretty much on par with the rest of Warren's St. Martin's releases, but be forewarned, if you feel at all uncomfortable with the idea of Beauty and the Beast (literally) you may want to give this one a pass.
I looked everywhere and couldn't yet find anything about Warren's March 2010 release Born To Be Wild (The Others), but it looks like there's a lioness on the cover so it might be a follow-on to Walk on the Wild side instead of one of the revamped `Fur' or `Fae' e-books. Hopefully the rest are not too long in coming, I am anxiously awaiting Raphael's story.
Synopsis
--------------
Silverback werewolf clan Alpha, Graham Winters has been on a celibacy streak - he's basically `done' every supernatural female on two legs and four and he is flat out bored - until he gets a sniff of a mysterious woman with a great backside who brings his libido roaring back to life. Missy is trying to avoid her gal pals and her impending blind date, arriving two hours late to one of said pal's engagement party in a borrowed dress that exposes way too many of her assets for her own comfort. When Missy flees her friends, trying to avoid her what she's sure will be a third strike-out fantasy fix, Missy suddenly finds herself being carried off by Graham, the true star of all her fantasies. Missy was positive that the tall dark and sexy shifter didn't even know she existed, but talks herself into seizing the opportunity of living her dreams if only for one night. But one night is not going to be enough for Graham who is sure his dry spell is over forever - the only problem now is convincing this reluctant human that she's his mate.

I have to admit I find it hard getting into Christine Warren's THE OTHERS series due to the poorly way the series are linked together. This is cause from the series being originally E-books and published in paperback out of story order. Big Bad Wolf however is the best of the series I read so far. Ava is human in ONE BITE WITH A STRANGE then get turned into a vampire in YOU'RE SO VEIN and suddenly she human again in her latest book in the series BIG BAD WOLF. Big Bad Wolf is only one of the three in the series that I truly got into and fully enjoyed when not thinking of how if relates to rest of the series. In this story Missy Roper fantasies about Graham a Alpha were wolf who given up on sex and finding a mate of his own as he deals with the post wedding engagement party of his best friend. The trouble is that Missy is human which makes convincing her that she should be his mate not too easy. The world changed a lot when it learned the others like vampires and werewolves were real. Missy world changing in ways she never imagine as the two beguilingly follow their sensual instincts as lover that had collided at a party of arousing wild desires. If you like Mary Janice Davidson's Wyndham werewolf stories you'll love this one.
