Vanessa loves having Grayson Hemming chase her, and she'll do anything to keep him running. When young werewolf Vanessa Blevin begins working at new law firm, she expects long hours, hard work, and harder personalities. Her boss is a demanding, demeaning bully who begins cutting her down on her very first day — cutting her down and setting her blood on fire. Grayson Hemming is tall, dark, alphahole handsome, the exact sort of werewolf she does not need in her life . . . but there's something about the way he smells, his cutting smile, and the way his eyes always seem to find her. Her wolf wants his, and the feeling is mutual.  The lines between their professional lives and personal desires are blurred every full moon in his bed, and the only way she knows how to keep from being burned is to keep running. When she attends an exclusive Lupercalia celebration just outside of Cambric Creek, she knows exactly what to expect. The whole town knows what goes on at the invitation-only werewolf soirées, and every last one of them is eager for an invite. The Lupercalia festivities are an ancient rite of fertility and carnality, of sex and sweat and celebration, and she knows one of the wolves will have her before the night is done. One of them will have her, but only one wolf will do. One wolf, one knot, one set of teeth at her back . . . but he'll have to catch her first. Run, Run Rabbit is a part of the Cambric Creek After Darkverse and can be enjoyed as a standalone. The After Darkverse is NOT the same lightweight fluff you can expect from the main Cambric Creek series — there is no guarantee of a HEA, and the relationships will be darker. A bit less sugar and a lot more spice. Content advisories for Run, Run Rabbit include: Primal play, chase play, exhibitionism, knotting, non-monogamous relationship, shifted *relations*, inappropriate workplace romance, pregnancy termination, and a decently toxic relationship.

    I should have read the Goodreads description fully, which both states that there is wolf / human sex and says that this is a spicy book without a guarantee of a happily ever after and a toxic relationship! Well I didn't know I wouldn't like the wolf/ human element, I do like aliens and monsters with humans, so I don't know why that was an ick for me. Mostly the problem was that I did not understand this relationship. Sure, she likes how he smells and how he fucks her, but he is a total jerk and tells her that he is and won't change and she hates it but still loves him?? I didn't feel like we saw enough of them together to see why she would be in love with him, I needed more emotional development here. Maybe a dual point of view could have made this more romantic? I liked the migraine representation and the child free by choice representation. I'm not sure reading about primal play/chase or public sex/voyeurism is something I enjoy. I was bored and then was confused with this relationship, I almost DNF'd after the wolf sex with human part but decided to plow through in case it got better. I should have stopped, I didn't feel that it was fun or better. Apparently there was six years of time covered! That was too much time with too few events. The annoying part was that Vanessa wanted their relationship but never was willing to step forward and ask for them to be together, which was obnoxious. Why was there so much time spent with her and his family? I'm okay with non-monogamy, just not the poor communication that was happening here. This was not really a romance. Other reviewers point out that it seems disjointed as it jumps around and is too choppy. Grayson was just a complete asshole and it was hard to give a shit about him. He was mean, played games, and hurt Vanessa and he didn't seem to care.
