Huh?
I'm the quiet one.
U-huh, I know what you're thinking. Purple hair does not equate to "quiet," but in my case it really is true. Without the wildly colored hair most people wouldn't even notice me in an empty room.
Hell, even with the bizarre hair most people don't actually see me.
I probably sound pitiful but, honestly, it gets worse. I've been pining over the same guy for nearly a decade now.
I know that's a particularly stupid kind of pathetic, but if you knew Ryan you'd understand. We dated in high school and no one I've ever met since has gone close to measuring up. I want him in my life.
Okay, so I have an unrequited love, an ill-considered, purple-haired attempt at getting attention, a rough bar full of rougher people, and me trying to drink there so I can be near the cool kids from high school.
Yeah, nothing could go wrong with that plan…

I am banging these out. Huh, that's what he said! Haha
I've had the series for a while, but forgot about it. This is exactly what I needed today. Short, sexy...just a quick read that made me smile.
I should point out that I have read all six in the series together in one shot, so I can't really speak as to how they would be as standalones.
Huh? is super short, but Nathan and Ryan are cute, hot, and worth the read.

Quirky... this are all quirky. Back to the human point of view.
Couple of things.. with all the main guys in POV beginning to kind of sound the same with similar attitudes it will make it difficult to enjoy the personality if there's any more in this short series. Plus this one there's that 10 year age gap. They've loved each other this WHOLE time but neither took a chance to do something.. and why did they 'drift' apart anyways?
However, I did find the ending funny with a scolding on why and how these guys are proving the werewolf.

These are all stand alone books in a series but I feel like I've just read the same book three times. Same formula, same sex, same reveal, same time jump to the next full moon ending... BORING!
These have the bones of a great series. It's just too bad the author submitted what amounts to a plot outline instead of an actual story.

Nope.
A whole lot of my pet peeves wrapped up in a bow.
Talking to the reader? Check.
All porn, no plot? Check.
1st person present tense? *shudders* Check.
For me, the writing was lazy, there was ZERO world-building (or an attempt at it) - the author just said "werewolf" and it's supposed to instantly be a world-building word. The sex was badly written, lack-lustre, and the plot was so weak and thin, it was really only an excuse to write some porn. Which, is fine if that's what you want, but this was like the really bad "plot" given to porn films that has no logic, no ending, no real purpose except to make way for sex.
And if the author can't remember their own plot-points throughout a 7 page series that is less than a full length novel when put together, then why should I care? They contradicted their own "laws" to suit themselves, and expected the reader to do all the work. Not to mention all the repetition that meant they only had to have the one plot point for about 4 of the 7 books in the series, and just rehashed it, along with conversations. Their favourite phrase? "Anyway" - to allow a segway for info dump that wasn't necessary - and:
"Fuck."
"That's the plan."
*rolls eyes*
The only reason I read all 7 books was because I paid for them...and I want my money back.

Didn't quite like it. Ten years is a long time to wait for someone. It's not like one of them went to war, they were just being stubborn fools.
