Out There in the Night by Laura Baumbach

Connor Jacy, a doctor in a remote Alaskan town, realizes that his affair with his self-centered boss Greg Pierce is fizzling out.  He is young and innocent, and finds Greg an increasingly self-absorbed and selfish lover.

Meanwhile he has recurring dreams of a mysterious Native American man whom he has never met. But we readers will make the connection to the immortal Adam Lowell glimpsed in the prologue decades in the past.

Anxious to get away from Greg, Connor volunteers to make a house-call to a remote location.  Imagine his surprise when the man of his dreams, Adam Lowell, rescues him from a snowmobile crash. Adam is an immortal werewolf with a sacred mission to protect his tribe. 

Adam claims Connor as his destined mate, intending to turn him into a werewolf, too. Much sex ensues. Connor spends much of the middle section of the book in Adam's cabin, half-unconscious from his accident, getting tended to and fussed over by Adam.

Apparently their destiny together is preordained.  But I still found it a little creepy how Adam never completely explains to Connor the full extent of his plans to transform him into a werewolf. This transformation is accomplished through sex, and once Connor has become a werewolf, there is no going back.

But Greg, trying to do the right thing, tracks Connor down to rescue him.  Joining Greg is Mitch, a Native American guide who may be more than he seems. What happens when all these agendas collide?

Out There in the Night works as simple erotica with its emphasis on hot sex scenes.  Plot and characters are a bit underdeveloped, especially Adam who is a Native American stereotype: bland and stoic. Greg is the most interesting:  an intriguing mix of arrogance, ego, insecurity, and decency.

Here at ObsidianBookshelf.com, I might read about the further adventures of Greg, but probably not about Adam and Connor.
