A nice read with a good and steady pace. Also has some good steamy scenes. A pretty good addition to any shifter fan’s collection.
This is only book one of Mia and Dominic’s story and it ends with a fairly satisfying happy for now ending. So even though it is not a standalone, I feel you could very easily read this book and then decide if this series is for you without making that full series commitment right from the word go. Overall, I enjoyed this interesting werewolf/human romance but freely admit that you had to take the good with the bad when reading it. I thought the storyline was engaging. It contains a blend of romance, danger, action, suspense, drama and humor. There are some parts that come across as a bit cheesy, while others offered an intriguing uniqueness to them. I liked Mia but did sometimes wonder where her head was at. I really felt that considering everything she might have asked a few more pertinent questions or had more doubts and fears about what lay ahead for them as a “couple” or at least specifically what she would have to prepare herself to deal with emotionally. However that is just my opinion and I do like to overanalyze things . Dominic for me was just OK. I enjoyed most of his alpha tendencies but there were a couple I found quite off putting. I’m not totally behind this whole “pet” scenario. As readers we get a few more details about what the rules are, how things must be and some of the (not so positive) possible outcomes of this arraignment (and that is why I wish Mia knew more about what she was getting herself into). I did like how protective he was of Mia and the caring and tenderness he showed her. As a couple they generated some very steamy heat. As far as the narration goes, I would rank it as fair. It was not that I thought the narrator did a terrible job because she didn’t. Her voice was pleasant and easy to listen to. That being said, I think that a male narrator would have been a better choice, simply because so many of the characters were male and even though this narrator did her best, I found her portrayal of the main bad guy in this book to seem almost campy. It is hard to take the bad guy seriously if you want to laugh at him. Altogether, it was far from perfect but I did find it fun and entertaining and it left me wanting to explore what happens to this couple next (even if I fear that they have Huge issues and problems ahead).
This is a book that holds your interest from cover to cover, and though it has a good stopping point, it still leaves you anxious for more of the story. You won’t want to stop at one. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these characters. Well written, and an excellent reader. I received a free copy of this audio book for review.
What an excellent story from start to end, though I wish there were more. Oh wait! There are! Sexy Strong Alpha Wolf meets His match in a sweet, scared, strong mob stopping woman. I can’t wait to read the next book!
