Once Bitten

Redstar Werewolf Pack #1

by Loribelle Hunt

Liza is Paladin, third in power in the Redstar pack. Half witch, half werewolf, but without the ability to change forms, she has an acrimonious history with Caleb, the Alpha’s heir. Then one explosive night, they explore her interest in submission, but he leaves the pack. And her. Five years later, the Alpha orders Liza to bring Caleb home. The years of distance have not dulled his anger at her, or the heat that once flared between them.Caleb is biding time before returning to Redstar. It’s pleasurably spent with his lover Zach. When Liza shows up, once again at his father’s bidding, he’s angry and hurt, but he still wants her. This time he isn’t letting her go. Zach takes one look at the woman and knows she’s the one for them. But can he accept that her delicious submission in bed goes no further than the bedroom door?Claimed by two werewolves, Liza struggles to move forward from the past with Caleb while getting to know Zach. But they’ll have to respect her devotion to the pack and her warrior spirit if they’re going to win her.Originally published with the series title Spellbound Moon.

This was a well written and hot menage PNR with alpha H's and a pragmatic h. But I hated the double standards in it:
H1 Caleb has many OW before getting together with h, even after they know each other(H trains h in fighting). Then finally he realises h is his mate and they get together only for him to make some lame assumption, insult h, dump her and leave the pack for 5 yrs.
In those 5 yrs he falls in love with H2 with whom he shares many women who they dominate together. Meanwhile h is celibate and gets reports of all the H's flings. How is this even fair? I hate that the H was able to stay away from his mate for all these years for some silly reason that wasn't even true and moved on with both men and women:(
In the end the h had to go after him for them to get together. Just p!sses me off!!! I think I'll be staying away from this author for a while, I can't stand such double standards in how the male and female MCs are written...

3.8 really but I like the flow of the story. Therefore, I awarded four stars.

This was one spicy ménage romance. I love the tension between all three lovers. Caleb and Liza knew each other, and might have loved each other, but for a misunderstanding five years ago. Since then, Caleb has met another lover, Zach, and the two are mostly happy with what they have until Liza shows up to bring Caleb home at his father's request. The interaction between old lovers and new was handled very well, including the insecurities new lovers in a new situation might face. I love that Liza is a tough chick, even if the men don't want her to be at risk. I will definitely read more from this author.

3.5 Stars

I am not big on the relationship misunderstandings that break the couple up to be reconciled, otherwise this book may have gotten a 4. I LOVE LOVE LOVE menage. Especially MMF.

Book is about 100 pages, but the development is still there. I did not get enough the building for Liza and Zachs relationship but the author didn't spin it as they were heads over heels in love already so I was ok with it. The BDSM was an unexpected twist. I really enjoyed that. :)

New author to me Ms. Hunt. The book was way to small to be anything but a novella. The sex was hot, and the plot was non existent. The following 2 books are exactly the same, shuffling a bit the species. The motif remains 2 alpha dudes, that do each other, get a gurl as a third and want to do all that alpha male stuff cause of course they want to protect, duh! cause if you have a vagina you need to have protection and all that jazz. I mostly read this cause I enjoy the mm scenes, but not enough to venture into the mm genre, although enough to look for MMF books.

Una idea normalita mal contada. Demasiado breve para adentrarse en los entresijos psicológicos de los personajes y el desarrollo de la relación.

It's definitely intended for a nice spicy quick read only. If you're looking for a well- developed and complex plot, it's not for you.

so good

This book was great. It’s a fast rainy day read. Liza, Caleb, and Zach have amazing chemistry. I can’t wait to read more.

Me gusto mucho el caracter de Liza y como se maneja con Caleb y Zach..al principio simplemente se obliga a resignarse a que ella no puede estar relacionada con ninguno de los dos.. pero despues ellos le prueban que eso no es asi y hasta la marcan como su compañera..es bueno que ella sea fuerte y pueda defenderse a si misma causandole problemas a los hombres ya que tienen que aprender a controlar sus instintos :p..
No me gustan mucho los libros donde las chicas son completamente sumisas en la cama ya que los hombres terminan pensando que ellas seran asi en todos los aspectos de la vida.. ademas aunque no parezca.. en este libro utilizaron demasiado su atraccion fisica para desviarle los pensamientos de cosas importantes :p..
Lo que si me sorprendio fue la coleccion de juguetes que ella tenia :p.. aunque no especificaron todos los que tenian XD..
Y lo que me hubiera gustado mucho fue ver la conversacion que tuvieron Zach y Jonas.. lo que le dijo el primero para convencerlo de abandonar el desafio..

Great story, but the double standard between the sex lives between hero and the heroine in the time they were apart bordered on the annoying.

Story of Passion

This book is hot and steamy? The storyline nd characters are full of strong and romantic content. What I like the most is that I can see the story in my mind, feel their passion, and that is incredible? I rate this as a must buy and keep them coming.

Read in 2010.

Liked the new look of the series and decided to keep reading it. The first novel really attracted me attention because of the half were, half witch concept.

WOW this was interesting. It was m first book with male on male action and I must say I approve. *giggle* I'm such a child. lol

[Melissa Adams · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to give it more stars but it ended so abruptly. I was so engrossed waiting for more, but it never came. There was no real climax, so to speak. lol
