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.

Summary: Yummy Wolves
Comment: Why I liked this book: This is definitely a page-turner and a true sequel in that you have to have read Without Reservations to understand how Remi is a new wolf and the type of man he was to his friends. Learning about Remi's past, his present and being uncertain about his future is as scary for the reader as it is for the characters. Langley weaves such an intriguing tale with this sequel that you are engrossed in the story from the get-go. You WANT to understand Remi's trepidation with his feelings for Jake and see how he overcomes his fears to protect himself and his little brother. The dialogue is so wonderful, you feel like you're sitting in the room, bar, bedroom with the characters and seeing everything they are.
The story is entrancing. The characters are believable and personable. You know people like Jake and Remi and Chay and Keaton and even Sterling. It's a super-fast, andrenaline-kicking, blood-pumping rollercoaster ride of emotions and... a sequel is in the works!

Summary: Werewolves in love
Comment: I read J.L. Langley's series that started in Without Reservations out of sequence. I started with With Caution, which actually I think helped me appreciate the first book more. While I enjoy J.L. Langley's style of writing, I think that With Caution is the weaker of the two books. Jake Romero is a great original character and she gets him right, but in trying to create more of a back-story for Remington Lassiter, J.L. Langley went askew.
Remington is a badly written, feminized character who seemingly needs a man to either abuse him or save him. I found neither appealing. While the sex scenes between Jake and Remi were hot, the pairing of these two men would have better served if the author had made Remington less feminine and more of an equal with Jake. She did that perfectly with Chay and Keaton in Without Reservations. Even though Keaton was described as "Little Bit," and small in stature, he still was a masculine man who could stand up to his lover (Chay) and all of members of the wolf pack. Somehow, the author lost that in the Remington characterization and instead went the way of Japanese sterotypes of seme and uke. That is a shame, as I would have enjoyed this book so much more without those generalizations in the plot.
While I could not give this book a 5-star rating, I did enjoy the series overall. And I am looking forward to Sterling and Rhys' story, as neither of those characters seem to fall into the previous sterotypes I have mentioned before.

Summary: Sexy werewolves!
Comment: 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!

Summary: New Pack Arises
Comment: 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.
