The Wolf Who Fought for His Soul Mate
[Siren Classic Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, werewolves, HEA] Claim or cower? Tainted by his mother’s machinations, Paris Marrow blames himself for her actions and seeks redemption. The only one who believes in him is his mate, Jace Wade. However, Jace is all too aware of Paris’s emotional vulnerability and is reluctant to force Paris into a connection he might not be ready for. At the same time, Paris feels unworthy of the other wolf’s affection, the mistreatment and loneliness of his childhood overcoming his sense of self-respect. Even as the two wolves bond, their future remains threatened by their past. Paris and Jace embark on a quest to find Paris’s mother and her warlock ally. But the warlock’s plan is far more sinister than any of them expected. Paris will have to face his own fears, and fight for his soul mate. Can he find the necessary strength? Can Jace’s love wipe away the doubts and pain in Paris’s soul? ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Dear Siren Publishing,
If the authors who've sold their souls to you want to write about skittish virgin girls,the big, butch men who love them, and their frequent & painful sex lives - you should just let them write straight erotica. That way there will be at least one self-lubricating body in the room so I won't feel grossed out reading about how apparently losing your ANAL virginity coated in ONE application of SPIT is going to work out well just as long as he's THE ONE. Really? Because he's your soulmate? Really? That tiny little guy and the other monstrously big guy and some rimming? The first time? Did I miss a reference to Little Guy's surprising looseness and Big Buy's teeny weeny wanger? I know they're wolves, but to be such horndogs that the Big Guy can't be bothered to get off the bed long enough to fetch the lube he knows is in a bag in the room just meters away?
Seriously - I am able to suspend my disbelief to the point where I can read mpreg without hesitation, but all the suspiciously vagina-like ani (anuses?) and the tops who can't tell the difference at Siren creep me out. Bleugh.

It was a relief to NOT SEE: 1. Interfering narrow minded elders who cause major harm.
Thank Goodness: 1. Tyrell is finally dead and so is Aria Paris' mom. Problem resolved with no stupid cliffhanger.
Paris was annoying: Such a wimp and push over to those who abuse him BUT such a trouble making burden of a whiny brat to the few people who do love him.
I love: Baby Daire and Jace.

Trama interesante pero un tanto confusa, eso sí, la construcción de la pareja me ha gustado.

2012 Review:
Space is warped and time is bendable. Well, maybe not the space thing, but timescales and ages are seriously off. That’s minor, though.
Much worse is Paris’ whiny attitude and his obvious lack of intelligent thought. And the sex scenes? I just started skimming through them in the previous book. Yawn.
I am all for love and affection and emotionally strong moments but the superlatives in this series never stop. Ever. As such they lose impact, as well as produce some impossible instances, such as when something is supposed to be the most something-or-other or the first time for something-or-other to ever feel like that even when we know it did before. Like no one ever loved Paris before. When we know perfectly well that both Anson and Reed already did in the previous book. Yada Yada. I hate that kind of inaccuracy for the sake of silly superlatives.
Also, I am increasingly irritated by the wrong use of words, like irradiated for radiated. It’s not even remotely the same thing, author! And this was just one example (although it occurs frequently). I don’t blame the author that much since everyone has their weaknesses and if someone can tell a good story, such minor fault should not be held against a person. But where the hell was the editor in this?
Anyway, not much plot in this book, although finally . Whee. Also, one more couple is set up for their book and another, that I had forgotten about, appeared as well.
I have to wonder about that, though. Since Noah and Rhys are apparently so close and have been since the attack a few books back, are they mated yet? I mean, Rhys is an incubus, so he has to have sex or he dies. And the whole mating thing will become apparent through that, I suppose. So… will we backtrack a long way for their book or will it basically start near the ending?
Maybe this is one of the reasons these books are turning so boring: the couple finds mated bliss at the beginning, all the angsting having happened in the background of previous volumes, and then they just bounce between emo and lovey-dovey and have some people be mean to them. Meh.
Anyway, it also appears that the third generation is being set up strongly already. Yay?
It makes me sad that people who appear interesting initially turn out so disappointing in their own books. Such as Reed and Paris. Makes me feel apprehensive about both Noah and Derek, since I am actually interested in them.
Oh well.

This just seemed too anticlimactic to me. Tyrell's storyline arc is done and seemed so with barely a battle really. And Paris...when first introduced you get BARELY a hint that he has self-doubt issues but not nearly as bad as they turn out to be in his own book. He just came across too 'whiney' to me to be any kind of proper mate for Jace. Would have made more sense to me for him to develop more into his own character before, 'BAM its Mate Time.' With that said, I did like the intro into vampires. I'm hoping Derek's match up turns the heat on this series back up

This basically ended the big series arc/plot so I have no clue what the next books will have other than the sex. Which I'm still skimming due to overabundance caused by reading this series too close together; not really the author's fault, more my mad OCD issues, which is why I'm not harshing the score - I think if I'd read them spread out I'd like these all as the short sexy reads they are.....but currently I'm just so happy I've nearly finished them all it's untrue.

I have to admit I was a bit bored with this one for the first half of the story. The second half was more interesting. I'm thought Aria could have had a worst ending but the way she died was adequate enough. I wasn't expecting for Daire to take back his body so that was a surprise. I'm looking forward to reading about Rhys and Noah.

I have decided to stop reading this series. Not because it's bad, but because there are so many books out there that I don't need to waste my time with average when I can read excellent books.

I wish it was better.
