Synopsis. (Goodreads)

Andrea Lockhart's job as a reporter for cheesy tabloid The Naked Truth isn't exactly where she thought her journalism career would end up. She's determined to make the best of it, but when her editor sends her to Woodbine, South Carolina, to investigate a werewolf sighting, Andrea decides the ridiculous assignment will be her last. Until she meets Sean Hunter.

The last time she saw Sean, he had just beat her out for the position of editor of their college newspaper, and told her she'd never make it as a reporter. Given his grand ambitions, she's shocked to find him editing the Woodbine Weekly. Once they start competing for leads on the werewolf, Andrea becomes determined to break the story first—she can't let Sean beat her again.

As they each get closer to finding the source of the rumors, the only thing more surprising than the truth are the feelings Sean is able to stir in her, feelings she thought she had left behind...

REVIEW: 3 out of 5 stars

Andrea Lockhart is a reporter for a NY based tabloid, The Naked Truth and has been sent to Woodbine, South Carolina, to research a possible werewolf sighting. Andrea believes the notion to be ridiculous but is determined to make the most of it. Her investigation doesn’t start off too well when she is literally caught upside down and is rescued by none other than her College crush and nemesis Sean Hunter.

Sean is working as the editor for Woodbine Weekly and remembers a very different Andrea from back in College, they parted on bad terms and he has always regretted his actions and the way he treated her but felt at the time he was doing the right thing.

Andrea and Sean’s personal lives have been shaped based on circumstances beyond both their control, they have both changed immensely since their college days and working together to find the truth behind the werewolf rumors also bought for Andrea a sense of closure from the past and forged a new relationship with Sean as a possible future. I enjoyed seeing their relationship progress as the investigation did.

I enjoyed the mystery of not knowing whether there was an actual werewolf or not or whether Andrea was being taken for a fool; the suspense certainly had me intrigued and I really liked the small town setting of Woodbine; the location seemed idyllic and tranquil.

I enjoyed Ms Campbell’s writing style, the characters were each likeable, the pacing for me was initially slow but it picked up and left me anticipating more.

Cry Wolf was a nice, sweet and contemporary romance and I hope to read more books by Angela Campbell.
