"LYCAN INSTINCT is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, and the supernatural, making an impressive beginning for this trilogy! I thoroughly enjoyed every one of Broughton’s well developed characters and circumstances that brought them together. ... The mystery of the bizarre murders adds to Broughton’s fabulous story. Rafe and Mac race to stay one step ahead of their powerful foe, all while walking a fine line between the politics of Mac’s job and the secrecy of Rafe’s life. Readers will eagerly anticipate Rafe’s brothers’ stories after devouring this romance! Get hooked from page one with Brandi Broughton’s LYCAN INSTINCT!" Tracy Marsac, Romance Junkies

"Lycan Pack 1: LYCAN INSTINCT is the first installment in what is sure to be an explosively remarkable series by Brandi Broughton. With a cast of characters and a suspenseful plot, readers cannot go wrong with this one. ... One of the Stone brothers will claim your heart and I only hope you have an easier time picking which one that is. I loved them all. Brandi Broughton has done a tremendous job keeping me guessing about the who and why’s of the crimes that take place surrounding Chicago until the very end, while also keeping me gripped to my chair addicted to Mackenzie and Rafael’s chemistry. I could not have asked for a better story and can only hope the second installment is here shortly. Lycan Instinct is definitely one to add to your permanent bookcase and has this reader recommending it to every reader that loves a great shape-shifting story." Jessica, Fallen Angels Reviews
