They call me Anaconda because they think I’m a big snake.
At least, that’s the clean version of the story.
The one person I want to impress with my huge personality hates me.
I’ll find a way to wind myself around his heart because I always hit my mark.
Ari
He’s right. In fact, that Alpha makes my skin crawl.
Except when he doesn’t.
I don’t understand why I can’t stop thinking about Hunter.
Can you really trust a cold-blooded player with your heart?
Big Snake is a standalone romance with no cliffhanger and an HEA ending. It features a spunky Omega and an Alpha with a big... attitude. The only thing that can save him from himself is the love of his fated Omega and the blessing of adorable babies. You may not like Hunter at first but stick with him. You'll be glad you did.
This suffers from what I call "Jory Syndrome," wherein a main character (in this case both of them) is incapable of failure in his professional life, with the adoring public fawning over them nonstop while simultaneously enduring telenovela-worthy drama in every minute of his personal relationships. Unfortunately, there is no cure.
note: Jory Syndrome is of course named for the main character of Mary Calmes' "trainwreck you can't turn away from" series A Matter of Time.
Wasn't the greatest alpha/omega non-shifter story out there, sure kept me reading but maybe that's got to do with my not wanting to leave a book on DNF. It was quite obvious the author wrote this as a M/F story and then tried change the pronouns since more then once Ari was referred to as a "she" and he was submitted to extreme feminization (not that I don't love a good femme boy in m/m stories) but it was more of him being almost a woman and not just femenine...Plus holy shit with the back and forth between those two! I just wanted to grab Ari and shake him!!! I mean it's ok to have insecurities but come on! You don't have to be a stubborn ass ALL the time until your friends have to let you know you are indeed an asshole!
I found this story to be sweet and enjoyed it for the most part. My one complaint is that there wasn't any growth in either Ari or Hunter between their high school selves and their post-graduate selves. I know that I was different at 24 than I was at 18 and though I could connect with friends from high school, it took effort to rebuild connections as adults.
This was an okay story. It was filled with angst and plenty of confusion and unnecessary heartache. What also affected the story was the poor editing and the numerous grammatical errors.
Well, a bit of a different book. I am somewhere between "it was ok" to "I liked it". I did finish it and then spent another half hour researching the surprise subject in the book.
I prefix some of my shelves so that they are listed together in blocks and easier to find. Who knew my female/male prefixes (xx, xxy, xy) wouldn't cover my readings.
Undecided whether or not to read more by this author.
