The Shifter’s First Bite by Deanna Chase takes us to Witch Island. Zinnia Franklyn is working on werewolf cookies for the crew filming Engaged to a Werewolf on the island when Reed Sinhawk walks into the bakery. Zinnia fell in love with Reed with she was a teenager, but she did not hear from him after he left to make it big in Hollywood. Reed is one of the stars of Engaged to a Werewolf and has been supposedly dating his co-star, Krissy Kimble. Zinnia only has to take one look at Reed to verify she still is attracted to him and her love has not faded. Reed has only ever loved one person, and he is determined to win her heart. To get his happily ever after, he will have to deal with Krissy, overzealous reporters, the network and his father. Will Reed’s inner wolf get the bite it desires?
The Shifter’s First Bite is a humorous and steamy story. Deanna Chase has an engaging writing style that draws the reader into her world. Reed is a sexy, handsome man who left Witch Island at eighteen to become an actor. He has succeeded, but love is missing from his life. Zinnia has been in love with Reed since she was a teen. She wrote to him after he left, but Zinnia never received a response to her chatty letters. Now they have a second chance, but there are obstacles in their way. The desire between Reed and Zinnia is palpable. I am surprised the hot springs they enjoyed did not reach the boiling point. Krissy, though, keeps getting in their way. There are some highly entertaining scenes that will have you in stitches (just thinking about it has me chuckling). A person should know to wear underwear when trampling through the woods because you never know what you might fall into. The Shifter’s First Bite does have foul language (unfortunately) and graphic intimate scenes between our main characters. While The Shifter’s First Bite is the third book in Witch Island Brides, it can be read alone. The island’s healer, Mystia appears in this story along with Zinnia’s sister, Frankie. The Shifter’s First Bite is a quick read that has cute characters, humor, romance, magic and passion.
Love these books!!
This is a great LOL book. I could not even imagine what way this book was going. Zinnia and Reed are great together. This book covers that young love you never forget. Being reconnected to your high school best friend and find out you both wanted to date back then is awesome. There are some really steamy scenes in this book.
There is also a few a bit of drama from Reeds costar that you are not going to want to miss. She does not want to let go of the money and image she has with Reed and thinks she is getting what she wants by trying to enlist the help of Reeds dad.
Just when you think Zinnia is going to loose her fight things seem to look up. The end is as happy as can be. I am very thankful Reed stayed in the fight for Zinnia. This book took my heart away with so much love.
I have been provided with a copy of The Shifter’s First Bite by the author for an impartial review. This is the third book in the Witch Island Brides series and I just absolutely love this series. They have just been so easy to get into and the stories just make you not want to put them down until you turn the last page. I just loved getting to meet Zinnia Franklyn and Reed Sinhawk. This was such a quick and easy read and I immediately wanted more. It was just so funny I just couldn’t stop laughing. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
This series has been so much your fun to read. The stories have been laugh out loud funny and this newest one is just as good as the previous. Zinnia is the baker on Witch’s Island and she’s up to her elbows in werewolf cookies when her high school crush walks in and blows her world off it’s axis. This is a quick read full of fun and even a little sexy time. This story will leave you wanting another helping of werewolf cookies but only if they come with a return trip to Witch’s Island.
I absolutely love Zinna and Reed story they found each other after Reed moved away. Many years before. Once again another amazing book by Deanna Chase.
One thing I always say about this author is that she does such a great job drawing in the reader immediately with how she writes, and this book does exactly that. I loved Zinnia from the moment she was introduced and wanted nothing but the best for her, and of course that was Reed. They just seemed perfect for one another, and their love just shone through. Their path to that love was fun, and you can’t but love the story. If you love sweet romances, you really need to read this book and author. Both are stunning! I really do highly recommend! I received a complimentary copy of this, and I voluntarily left a review.
