"Missy's Choice" is the final book of the sexy and exciting "a Wolf Affair Trilogy". What a few readers are saying... "This was the perfect ending to a great series. I wasn't sure how everything would come together especially since I had a bad feeling about certain characters. This Book wrapped everything up perfectly though. ... I could not have asked for a better ending. These characters and this story will definitely stay with me long after I've finished." "Wow, the Exorcist at it's best, or maybe worst, happens in this book. Dang! I really hope to see a Novella about Kenton's family background to tell us more about his family history. I already knew he was a great guy, and the little bit of information I gained from this book made me like him even more."
