When Sherry heads out of town to forget a cheating ex, she finds herself heading to Havenwood Falls. This was a little odd, because she isn’t a paranormal creature, but it seems like the town and its guardians know more than I do.

When she’s rescued from an accident by Rusty – a lone wolf in every sense of the word – and stranded in his cabin to wait out the story, they are somewhat forced to get to know each other better. Here is where I wanted a lot more than what I got. I know the mating urge for a werewolf comes out of nowhere according to most lore, but I thought there wasn’t enough resistance from him as a lone wolf, and there wasn’t enough confusion, moving to acceptance, and finally moving to love from her.

You get plenty of conflict between Sherry and her ex though when he shows up looking for her. I really enjoyed watching a strong woman that refused to let anyone take advantage of her, and do it without turning into a hard and jaded person.

Old Wounds had so many good elements that were just cut a little short. I feel like the story just didn’t have enough time to fully develop the characters and the plot.

Betrayed by love, Sherry Grimes flees the city, seeking solace in an unfamiliar place that calls to her from deep in the mountains. But her search for comfort goes awry when she’s chased by a wolf through the forest, falls, and blacks out. She awakens in a strange room with a mysterious and forbidding-yet undeniably sexy-man by her side. So much for finding solitude. But despite the craziness that brings her to the small eccentric town, she discovers herself drawn into the magic that is Havenwood Falls. Russell Higgins had long ago given up the idea of finding the one he could trust his secrets to-until he met Sherry. One look at the feisty woman with a broken heart has him defying his pack and rethinking his own ideas of his perfect mate. What he can’t deny is the wolf inside, claiming the human as his. Bradley Monahan wants Sherry back, and he would do anything to make that happen. Even fight the mysteries of a town that doesn’t forgive transgressions. While love may heal old wounds, it’s the fresh ones that Sherry must overcome to find her way back home. Wherever that may be.
