Product Description
A brother's vow. A lover's promise. Both could put them all at deadly risk. Remington Lassiter is trying his best to stay out of trouble while he learns the ropes of being a werewolf. When his little brother turns up covered in bruises, he is driven to finally bring their abusive father to justice. Jake Romero, a crack private investigator with a bad-boy biker image, realizes he has his work cut out for him when Remi asks for his help. From the first moment he turned Remi into a werewolf in order to save his life, Jake has been fighting to keep his inner demons at bay. He's torn between the desire to tell Remi they are destined to be mates, and the need to first let Remi get used to the werewolf life. Jake will do anything to protect Remi and help him break the cycle of abuse he has endured all his life, but his investigation is about to uncover something far more sinister and deadly than they ever imagined. Warning: explicit sex, graphic language, violence, hot nekkid man-love.

 Sexy werewolves! November 10, 2008
Langley's werewolves series is very addictive and this 3rd installment has all the right elements - likable characters, fast paced and enjoyable plot, loving romance and hot "nekkid" man love (each to her own taste, 1 star reviewer!)
Like K.Peoples, I was a little annoyed initially at the inconsistencies in some of her werewolves' characters, notably Remi and thought the change in character a convenient way of approaching the romance angle. I soon got over it as Remy's abusive childhood and his love for his little brother won me over. I like the interesting complexities Langley has introduced into her werewolves world which is refreshing in "With Caution".
Lots of happenings in this fast paced 3rd volume and once I started I could not stop until the very end. While I enjoy the sex I am glad story line and characters take precedence in "With Caution". Remy as a submissive omega is still a surprise to me but who could resist such an Alpha Jake in hot leathers. But later in the book, I find myself drawn more to another hot alpha Rhys and the energetic and effervescent Sterling and could hardly wait for this couple's story!

 New Pack Arises October 26, 2008
This book is good and advances Langley's werewolf universe nicely. The characters that she created in "Without Reservations" appear and continue to develop, especially Jake and Remi. Langley made clear that they were intended mates in the previous book, but kept Remi from discovering that fact. He learns it early on here and Langley does a good job of developing a credible plotline for the two to become lovers and mates, and much more. I won't give any more away other than to say their relationship affects their wolfpack in ways that show Langley developing the "rules" and "facts of life" for her fictitious werewolves in ways that were not clear in either of her two previous works in this series. In fact, the reason I gave this book four stars instead of five is that in several ways, characters in earlier works were not consistent with some of the "rules" she brought out in this work. Also, the Remi we see (and become quite fond of) in detail in this book is consistent with the Remi we saw late in "Without Reservation," but does not seem like the same character who pitched a royal fit when he walked in on Chay and Keaton making love in the earlier work. That made me a bit uncomfortable in the last book, but it worries me more in this one. Still, both quibbles are minor, enough to downgrade slightly to four or four and a half stars (instead of five), but the characters are a delight, many interesting new ones introduced, a despicable villain introduced, and the way paved for at least one more (probably a whole series) of additional books in this universe. If you like Langley, you'll enjoy this book and should buy it.
Loved With Caution October 21, 2008
This story opens at the end of Without Reservations. Remington Lassiter has just been turned and he is trying to cope with being a were at the same time as he is fighting his attraction to Jake Romero, the werewolf who turned him to save his life. He is deeply conflicted between what he wants and what he feels is right. To complicate matters he knows that if he does anything to offend his father, such as enter into a relationship with another man, both he and his younger brother Sterling would pay. But every time he sees Jake there is a bond and an attraction between them that he can't overcome. After seeing how difficult it is for Remi to control his feelings Jake has no option but to tell him that he is his mate. At that point Remi realizes that he is fighting a losing battle and he gives in to his growing feelings for Jake.
When I first met Remi in Without Reservations he was the somewhat homophobic best friend of Chayton Winston, a veterinarian and mate of Keaton Reynolds. Initially it was difficult for me to accept Remi in a gay relationship as well as the change in his personality, however the author provided a plausible explanation for his change of mind about Chay's and Keaton's relationship as well as the major shift in his own sexual orientation. It seems that Remi had a deep, dark secret that he had never admitted to himself or anyone else until it's almost too late.
Remi is the poster child for abused children. His father is a psychopath whose idea of fun is terrorizing his family and because he is a Rez Policeman with lots of power no one dared question him until Jake shows up on the scene. Remi's character is very vulnerable and submissive and the hint of BDSM in the story went well with his persona. I really felt for him in his fight to protect his brother and his mother, while at the same time keeping his relationship with Jake a secret from his father. His turnaround in standing up to his father was precipitated when Sterling shows up with bruises on his body and he knows that he can't close his eyes any longer to the abuse, so he asks Jake to help him bring his father to justice.
This book is extremely complex and the characters are much richer than its predecessor. The emotion throughout the book was at a very high pitch and at times I felt as if my stomach was in knots because the action was non stop. There is so much going on it's difficult to know where to stop in terms of talking about the storyline because of the danger of being a spoiler. There is a murder investigation, extreme violence against members of Remi's family, a horrifying incident in the past, collusion between law enforcement agencies in an investigation several years ago, as well as a recent tragedy, all of which heighten the pressure in the already intense love story between Remi and Jake.
The sex in this book is so emotive and wonderful between the couple that I could feel the air between them crackle. When J.L. Langley writes a love scene, and that is what she did with Jake and Remi because it wasn't just sex, you are drawn into the minds of these three dimensional characters who tug at your heart strings. The other characters were engaging - from Rhys, Jake's business partner and best friend, young Sterling, Remi's brother who thinks Rhys is hot, and all the others who rounded out the story and made it such an incredible read.
This book is not a standalone and to really enjoy the series the stories should be read in order. Did I love With Caution? I have to give an unequivocal and resounding "yes". Buy this book.
Langley Does it Again! October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"With Caution", the third (and hopefully NOT the last) of J. L. Langley's paranormal werewolf series, is a sure fire winner for me and well worth the wait for it in print. I just wish it hadn't taken so long! I fell in love with her writing "With Reservation". The only thing I fault with that book was the editing, which the publishers have clearly improved on in this latest work. If you haven't read "With Reservation" yet, I highly reccomend you do so or you may get lost with some of the characters and their history in "With Caution", especially with Remi, the main character of this work.
What I love most about Langley is her abillity to bring out the endearing qualities (good and bad) of her characters and it CLEARLY comes out in "With Caution". There is a good understandable storyline which also includes great man to man sex, but not making sex the end all and be all of this tale.
I really look forward to her next installment which will hopefully include Remi's young brother Sterling. I just hope it comes in print quicker!
J. L. Langley almost makes me wish that werewolves were real and that one would come along and take me out for a bite....
