Wolf Takes the Lead by Terry Spear is the fourth book in the Billionaire Wolf series. It is a paranormal romance novel with some suspense, and is set in California on the coast. Billionaire wolf Derek Spencer has been disappointed in his past relationships with female wolves, but he is looking forward to taking Kate Hanover to the charity gala. Kate had applied to be his bodyguard, but he selected a male wolf instead to avoid mixing personal and business relationships. Kate has been avoiding him since her rejected her application, but she agrees to be his last minute date for the gala. This is the beginning of Derek and Kate getting to know each other better. However, things keep going wrong. What happens next is an entertaining story of suspense, action, and romance. Kate and Derek are likeable characters. However, their relationship seems to progress a little too quickly in this story. Trying to come to terms with and understand the fallout from their past interaction doesn’t provide quite enough angst. However, the chemistry between them is fun and brings a lot of laughter to the book. I enjoyed spending them with characters from previous books in the series as well. Several twists and surprises enhanced the storyline. The writing was compulsively readable and engrossing. There was always something new and exciting happening. These ranged from plot twists to new adventures for the couple to danger and suspense. Overall, I this was fun to read and had great characters. It was well crafted, entertaining and I would recommend it to those that read this genre. It worked well as a standalone novel. However, having read the previous book in the series, I enjoyed spending time with old friends, too. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
