May 29, 2023Correct me if I'm wrong but she's like 17-18, right? I thought she was older. Sorry, but I couldn't enjoy the story knowing she's not in her mid-twenties, also, I didn't like Jordy.

Same story as the contemporary version.

Rezension Band 2, könnte eventuell spoilern für Band 1
Hellbound Hearts - Wilde Wölfe und Gefährliche Deals, ist der zweite Band der Hellbound Hearts Reihe, kann aber unabhängig vom ersten Band gelesen werden. In diesem Buch verfolgen wir die Geschichte von Joaninha und Jordy.
Jordy kannten wir schon aus dem ersten Band der Reihe.. Auch die anderen Charaktere haben wir wieder getroffen, was mich sehr gefreut hat. Wieder zurück an die Hellbound High zu kommen hat sich angefühlt wie nach Hause zu kommen. Nun, wo die Geschichte zum Teil aus Jordys Sicht erzählt wird, lernen wir viel mehr von ihm kennen. Mit der Zeit blickt man als Leser hinter seine coole Fassade und schließt ihn richtig ins Herz.
Joaninha haben wir, soweit ich weiß, im ersten Teil noch nicht kennengelernt. Sie ist eine starke und kluge junge Frau. Man lernt sie und ihre Lebensumstände kennen, sowie ihre Familie und Freunde. Sie ist neu an der Hellbound High und lernt unsere bereits bekannten Charaktere kennen. Jordy und sie haben eine, wenn auch sehr kurze, gemeinsame Vergangenheit, die am Anfang des Buches erzählt wird. Diese Vergangenheit begleitet sie bis in die Gegenwart.
Die beiden lernen sich früh am Anfang kennen und die Geschichte nimmt somit auch schnell an Fahrt auf. Die Beziehung der beiden ist schwierig und bringt viel Drama mit sich. Trotzdem ist es nicht zu viel und für mich war es immer spannend. Durch die Perspektivwechsel kann man als Leser die Gedankengänge mitverfolgen und so gut die Handlungen beider Charaktere nachvollziehen. Mein einziger Kritikpunt ist, dass es bis auf die letzten 5 Seiten gedauert hat, bis die beiden zusammen gekommen sind. Dann waren die ganzen Probleme auf einmal sehr schnell vergessen. Als Leser konnte man nicht so richtig nachvollziehen, was der Auslöser dafür war.
Der Schreibstil der Autorin war wieder sehr flüssig und ich bin nur so durch die Seiten geflogen. Die Geschichte ist einfach schön erzählt. Es gab wieder spannende Elemente, die die Geschichte aufgewertet haben und mich an die Seiten gefesselt haben. Auch in diesem Band gab es wieder einige explizite Szenen, die gut in den Plott eingearbeitet wurden.
Zusammengefasst konnte mich auch der zweite Band der Reihe wieder begeistern. Wer Fan von dem ersten Band war wir auch an diesem wieder Gefallen finden. Die Reihe kann ich jedem, der gerne paranormale Liebesgeschichten liest, nur ans Herz legen.

Savage Wolves and Dangerous Deals - Daniela Romero
(Hellbound Hearts Book 2)
My Review:
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶
Pages: 375
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Tropes: Accidental Pregnancy, Mates, Bully Romance
Joaninha is moving away. Her last night in town she decides to throw caution to the wind at a party. Gives her virginity to a wolf shifter but refuses to give him her name. Nine months later Caesar is born. Nine months after that her mother decides to move them back to their home town. Her first day back at school for her senior year she comes face to face with her baby daddy.
Jordy with looks to die for has no shortage of girls throwing themselves at him. He won’t do relationships. He can’t get the girl from the party months ago out of his mind and his wolf is constantly reminding him.
Then first day of his senior year there she is in the school hallway.
A week later he finds out about Caesar. He immediately scents him and knows that he is his.
This begins the battle to convince Joaninha that she is his and that he fully intends to be in his son’s life.
First they both have to go through very unpleasant things in their home lives before anything can happen.
You are going to have to read the book to find out if Jordy convinces her or if she runs and leaves town again with his son this time.
I very highly recommend this book and series.

“Savage Wolves And Dangerous Deals was originally published as a contemporary romance novel and has been re-imaged at the request of Daniela's paranormal readers.** Contemporary series is Boys of Sun Valley.
❓Have you read a reimagined series or book? I can’t help but wonder how ACOTAR would be if a contemporary romance instead of fantasy. I love how this series turned out.

Read
August 3, 2024This review of book two will be shorter than the first, simply by virtue of "ditto." A lot of what was true in book one is true in book two as well, and I don't see any reason to repeat it all. Jordy is a different sort of alpha a-hole than Rafe was, and my complaints on the treatment of women are reduced by at least a third. Rafe, after all, has found his forever mate—his one woman worthy of being treated with respect—and Jordy is chasing his. But much of the rest is still true.
Despite all that, I think this is a stronger book. I was pleasantly surprised when, early on, it took an unexpected turn into something significantly more interesting than the blurb let on. (I won't spoil it though.) Jo and Jordy are characters with a lot on their individual plates, each with their own additional baggage. The writing is clean and easy to read. I enjoyed the cultural characteristics coloring the narrative, and I like how the plot wrapped up.
I did find that explicit, on-page sex involving a 16-year-old is my personal ick limit. I suppose everyone reading the book won't be old enough to be the characters' mother. But I found that, for me personally, though I don't mind knowing teens have sex (of course they do), I felt all sorts of skeevy reading a hot sex scene from a 16-year-old's point of view. Nope. I'm not saying it shouldn't have been written, just that it hit my personal perv limit.
All in all, I liked this more than I expected and look forward to book three.

Where’s the ending?
Ok so book 2 once again leaves us with no real ending and certainly no real HEA , maybe a HFN. Our FMC from book 1 still hasn’t even made a decision to join the pack or not which seems so ridiculous at this point. Everything we’ve ever learned about fated mates from every author is they can’t be apart and she has a whole new family now. It shouldn’t have been drawn out at all once she mated. And then we have Jordy the manwh☀️re and our water bender lady who are from the jump written with the heavy connotation that they are fated mates yet the word mate is only sparsely tossed around and never talked about between our two MC’s. So disappointing. Then another abrupt ending and then the last 12~15 % of this book actually ended up being the next books first chapters so rip off. Too many unfinished loops and storylines and very unfulfilling and abrupt endings ruin it all.

Good but...
This book needs a edit. Minor consistency/word problems.
Overall it's it enjoyable, but there are unanswered questions.
What happened with her mother and the vamps??
Her dad
Lots of things just left to the "grey" of us assuming and just accepting what happens without reading what actually happens (the pack Alpha accepting main female and kid when is was presented as a problem. How was this solved??)
No one saying I love you until the "bonus" scene.
But overall I did enjoy this. I did not read the first one before this.
Not sure if I will read another from this series.

Fantastic series.
Great urban fantasy. I love the series. I was immediately hooked on the characters. Each of the books can be stand alone, but are enriched together.
