This is just for the Wyndham Werewolf story.
August 25, 2009
I read the MaryJanice Davidson story and maybe the Alice Gaines story. Neither had anal in it, so I was okay. I loved the MaryJanice Davidson story, "Love's Prisoner." It has forced seduction in it, so it's not everyone's cup of tea. The hero is the alpha of the Wyndham pack, Michael. He gets trapped in an elevator with a woman who is ovulating, and it's near a full moon. He cannot resist the urge to mate with her. It was the first story I read with this theme and I was blown away. He felt bad about what he did, but biological urges took over. A month or so later, he tracks down this woman who is his mate, and she's pregnant, so he kidnaps her to go live with the pack. From there it gets even less PC as he makes her go naked until she submits. There's another forced encounter because as alpha, Michael has to show dominance or lose the respect of the pack. He felt awful and she felt awful, and she stops eating. Michael comes to realize that he has to make sure his mate's emotional needs are met. Even with the questionable events, I still enjoyed this story. It was very well done, and it showed the animal nature of werewolves, which often overrides human feelings, although Michael comes to realize that his very human mate needs tenderness and understanding. I'd like to get a copy of this one, one day.

Flint's Fuse by Sandra Fraser
Dana Madison is kidnapped at the request of her father. Her father is working on a big corporate deal and he receives intel that his daughter might get caught in the crossfire. So her father has a mercenary named Flint steal into her bedroom and drag her off into the desert for her own protection.
*drops head on table* This was boring, stupid and a waste of my time. Hey, I like a Stockholm Syndrome type story as much as the next girl, but this was just baaad. How can you fall in love with someone who doesn't even talk to you? And can a woman really get so horny that she will make herself practically delirious and so desperate that she will throw herself at her kidnaper in a state of mindless lust? *We* know Flint isn't really a bad guy, but Dana did not. I read this novella thinking the whole thing was a joke and kept waiting for the punchline. I continued flipping through the pages only to find the author's mini biography where I discovered that this author is deceased. Joke was actually on me, because now I feel bad.
Love's Prisoner by MaryJanice Davidson
Jeannie should have waited for the next elevator. Now she's trapped during a power outage and she's not alone. Not only is being trapped in an elevator every person's worst nightmare, but how about being trapped with a shape shifting werewolf who is fighting his change while fighting the irresistibly alluring scent of his mate.
I read this anthology for this novella alone. I liked it. It wasn't as fantastic as I thought it would be nor was this as scandalous as I was led to believe. I thought it was a tried and true forced seduction scene where Jeannie is at first resistant, but is soon screaming out her enjoyment. There is another forced seduction scene that I thought was much worse, yet I don't believe I ever heard anyone mention that scene as shocking. It was a punishment type sex scene that left me cold, but I accepted it as part of the werewolf culture. Besides that, this was an interesting and fun story. The scene in the elevator was certainly titillating but I wish MaryJanice Davidson could have made this into a full length novel because then I really, really would have enjoyed it. This had action and humor and best of all, some hot werewolf lovin.
The Education of Miss Felicity by Alicia Gaines
Felicity watched her father flaunt his affairs before her mother's horrified and humiliated eyes so when it becomes her duty to marry, she decides the best way to make sure her husband-to-be never strays is to have instruction in the art of lovemaking. Who better than Dr. Marcus Slade to give her tutelage in the art of sex?
Not as bad as Flint's Fuse but certainly not great. While I was reading this I swear I felt my eyes start to cross. Purple prose alert and prepare to worship at the altar of Priapus. As soon as I finished this novella all I wanted to do was forget about it.
A Candidate for the Kiss by Angela Knight
Small town reporter Dana is hiding in a tree as she covers the story of the century. She's tape recording a bunch of white supremacists as they discuss their plans to assassinate the president of the United States when the hired assassin turns out to be an undercover agent who also happens to be a vampire. Gabriel knows Dana is hiding in that tree but what he doesn't realize is that he's found a candidate for the Kiss.
I knew Angela Knight wouldn't let me down. This was alot of fun and very sexy. It also has one of my husband's favorite sayings in regards to me. "My wife's not kinky. She's lazy." Gabriel is a mouthwateringly hot vampire and I absolutely adored his naughty yet respectful bad boy antics.

(Review only for on MJD's "Love's Prisoner".)
Update review (12.17.21) Upon reread, I'm a lot less pissy about this one. It's one of MJD's first, so of course it isn't her best writing. And reading her thoughts on the story (https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/1969143) puts the whole rape vs. "forced seduction" thing into perspective. Ironically enough, thinking back to my original reading, I was more annoyed at the "forced seduction" thing a lot of reviewers were throwing around than the actual story. My bad for not being more familiar with the term, I think. Having unbunched my panties and unclutched the pearls, I actually found a couple of the scenes quite angstily hot.
Yet another reminder to keep an open mind.
Here're the relevant parts of the interview:
Original review (11.14.16) - Only read MaryJanice Davidson's "Love's Prisoner" 'cause I'm reading through the Betsy series. Kind of disturbed right now. Why the hell are y'all calling it "forced seduction", exactly? It's rape. Literally, the hero rapes the heroine. Multiple times. At first because he apparently can't help himself - as that's werewolf nature, folks! Then to ostensibly keep her from running to a dangerous enemy. Words can't describe... But you know what, fuck it, guys, plenty of people get off on rape fantasies. Nothing wrong with that. But this isn't presented as fantasy - it's written as a literal Stockholm syndrome. Also, all rape aside, who the fuck falls in love in 48 hours? Also also...the writing, compared to the Betsy series, kind of sucks. Geh. Blerg. Continued sounds of disgust inserted here.

Yet another reminder to keep an open mind.
Here're the relevant parts of the interview:
"Pamela: The first work of yours I read was Love's Prisoner, a short story in Secrets, Volume 6 from Red Sage. An excerpt was posted on the RBL Romantica board, and, like pretty much everyone else who read that, I immediately bought the book. That story tapped into a pretty dark fantasy — three words: "elevator 'rape' scene" — that obviously resonated with a lot of readers. The story even caught the eye of editor Cindy Hwang at Penguin.
MaryJanice: Yeah, they're gonna chisel, "She wrote the elevator rape scene" on my giant marble mausoleum in letters 5 inches deep so it won't wear off for centuries, if not longer. Mental note: Pick out mausoleum.
Pamela: Wait for it, because there is a question coming …
MaryJanice: I'll believe it when I see it. So when I look at the next line, I'll either be believing it or not believing it.
Pamela: What do you think was so appealing about that scene, about that story? Did its success and notoriety surprise you? (See? A question!)
MaryJanice: I'm believing it! And yes to both. I loved writing that scene. It's not very PC, but I'm an old-school romance fan of the forced seduction (it's why romance novels were called bodice rippers back in Fabio's heyday), so I wrote what I'd want to read. But I tried to put across the hero's regret (that his mate-to-be was trapped with him in a big metal box), panic (because he most emphatically did not want to hurt her) and big-time horniness (he's a werewolf whose Change is only an hour or so away; the heroine is ovulating which to him smells like fresh peaches). And the heroine, Jeannie, was of course a victim, but I tried to temper her fear with arousal. I tried to make it clear that she somehow knew he wouldn't hurt her (um, besides the rape). They both knew they were trapped, and I tried to make that sexy.
A rule when writing romance: If the hero does something that in real life would get his ass slapped with a restraining order and/or thrown in jail, it can be written as romantic in fiction. (Segue: I was on CNN a couple of years ago because my latest book had come out one day before the Twilight movie was opening, and they asked me what moms of Twi-hards should be aware of when discussing the movie with their kids. Annoyed to find I was spending airtime promoting Smeyers' movie instead of my book, I whined, "Edward watches Bella sleep. She's got no idea this Social Security-eligible guy she just met is watching her sleep. That's not romantic in real life. Also, if Edward looked his age? Bella wouldn't spend so much time giving him that open-mouthed blank-eyed stare." CNN agreed. Then the local NBC affiliate called two hours later: "Will you come on our show and say mean things about Twilight, too?" You betcha! You know he watches teenage girls sleep, right?)
The fact that the elevator scene was controversial (in a good way) and triggered lots of discussion about the forced seduction romance trope was something I hadn't foreseen, but I found it fascinating. The fact that it eventually became known as an example of how to write forced seduction without such a rape-y vibe was unexpected and gratifying."

OK, I will admit right now that I realize I am not a fan of anthologies. I can’t understand why, other than OCD, that I buy anthologies and read them. I already know that I’m probably not going to enjoy it. I also have issues with the stories themselves. Frequently they are side stories to other stories. The reason I’m mentioning this as a negative is that I’m reading a side plot of a story I’m not familiar with. Frequently I’ve discovered that an author has not done a good job making it a stand-alone short story. Meaning I don’t enjoy the story because the main plot is missing. There have been several instances where a story was just ho-hum and forgettable only to become a much more vibrant story when I actually discovered the series of which it was part of. Once I had the background story, the short story made much more sense and was much more interesting.
I purchased Secrets volume 6 because I was reading MaryJanice Davidson’s Vampire Queen Betsy series. When I find a series I enjoy I go whole hog and find every book related to it. After searching on her website, I learned which books were related to the series and went about obtaining them. In a sad turn of events, the anthology books are arriving after I’ve finished the entire series. Nothing wrong with a little background/backtracking to finish up a series.
Now for another confession: it seems that I’m an unrealized fan of paranormal romances. I never, in a million years, would have thought that about myself. I hate girly movies and sad movies. Oh well, I keep finding myself reading these paranormal romances. Huh.
OK, back to the review.
Flint's Fuse by Sandy Fraser—not horrible but I had trouble with the overused plot. A beautiful, rich, young, helpless (yet karate trained with a fiery temper) girl is kidnapped. Her rich father pays for it to enable a business deal. Upon being kidnapped, she gets a look at her kidnapper and thinks ‘yummy’. OK, really???? Then, the martial arts trained kidnapper, who always succeeds on his missions, is woefully tempted by this beauty. I admit to reading the entire thing but I kept having problems with the PORN MOVIE PLOT sign flashing in my brain.
Love's Prisoner by MaryJanice Davidson—the reason I bought this book. The story was cute. I don’t think this would be a good stand-alone story but I’m not sure. I already knew the plot so I enjoyed it. Basically a young, miserably unhappy vampire (7 years?) discovers an old college crush. She is being (subconsciously) beckoned by Vampire Queen Betsy to come pay homage. She catches a ride with her old crush and on the way finds some joy and happiness. I just love the writing style of MaryJanice Davidson. Her quick wit and sarcasm always put a smile on my face.
The Education of Felicity Wells by Alice Gaines—wow! What a sensual story. I would never have chosen this one on my own but, wow, it was good. Set in (I’m guessing) Victorian times, a young betrothed woman approaches a known lothario to learn passion (not sex) in order to keep her husband-to-be from straying. Set up with the constraints of ‘no sex’ this story pushes the envelope as her educator teaches her and ultimately becomes the student. It is a true testament to communication!
A Candidate for the Kiss by Angela Knight—this story was what I would call a textbook romance story. It has a little action (government agent), a little paranormal (a vampire), a little intrigue (reporter, presidential assassins, foiled plot) and then a happy ending.
Overall, I must say I would not have bought this book on my own (I blame MaryJanice Davidson & Vampire Queen Betsy) but I did read it (all of it) so it wasn’t horrible. It just isn’t my cup of tea. I think this book is more for the erotic romance readers rather than just the plain paranormal romance readers.

Okay, so this is my very first review of a compilation of short stories, but I had to let everyone know what a fantastic book this is, especially since my husband found it lying in the middle of the highway and picked it up for me.
Flint's Fuse by Sandy Fraser is the yummy story of a rich influential man's daughter and the man he hired to kidnap her. Yes, her father had her kidnapped, for her own good. Evidently there are some very bad men who might use her as a pawn and knowing that his daughter Dana Madison, fiesty and stubborn wouldn't go willingly, he hired Flint to get her out of the way.
The story is set mostly in the log cabin he has taken her to and she stays tied up most of the time, but that doesn't keep the sparks from flying as she does everything she can to seduce her way out of her situation.
5 Stars on this steamy little romp.
Love's Prisoner by Maryjanice Davidson is a really cool werewolf love story with plenty of action that starts out with Jeannie and Michael stuck in an elevator together. No light and no electricity, but outside the moon is rising and with no way out, Michael has no choice but to change in front of Jeannie. As he feels the change coming, his animal instincts tell him that Jeannie is destined to be his mate and he takes her in the elevator.
Afterward, mortified and pretty sure she'd just been raped, Jeannie and can't get away from him fast enough. He helps her escape through the top hatch and just as he's about to climb out, the cable breaks and he falls to his death, or so she thinks. Torn between relief and grief, she tries to go on with her life, but a couple of weeks later, he shows up at her door, informing her that she's pregnant with his child and therefore she belongs to him. He takes her to his house for protection. There is a rival clan out to usurp his position as head of the pack and would kill Jeannie to keep Michael's heir from being born.
His job has just begun as he struggles to convince her she belongs to him. There are lots of "make you blush to your toes" scenes and the plot moves very quickly. I love this one. It was my favorite and it definitely deserves 5 stars.
The Education of Miss Felicity Wells by Alice Gaines was set at the turn of the century. Felicity is engaged and wants to become very good regarding matters of the bedroom, so she goes to Marcus Slade, infamous Libertine. He is hired to instruct her but the only catch is he cannot deflower her. Anything and everything else is allowed. Let me just say, Professor Slade is a very imaginable man.
This story was fun and the ending, though expected, was not disappointing. I also give this little romp 5 stars.
A Candidate for a Kiss by Angela Knight was a vampire short story that was full of humor and oooh la la hot lovemaking scenes that made my temperature rise. Dana was a reporter who had put herself in a precarious position to get the story of the year. Archer was a secret agent working for an elite government force who happened to be a vampire. As soon as he lays eyes on Dana, he realizes she is the perfect candidate for the "dark kiss", meaning she is one of like a zillion people who can survive being turned into a vampire. He wants to seduce her into it but his boss has other plans and orders him to do it. As a patriot, Archer has no choice but to follow orders but he will give it his best shot first.
I loved this one too. It was a close second on my favs list. I also give this one 5 stars.
Here's the thing. All the stories were great. How come I didn't know these books even existed? This is volume 6 but I just saw where one of my goodreads friends had marked volume #25! I've got to get my hands on another one soon!
Caution: These books are not for pre-teens and young teens. There is explicit sex scenes that are not for young readers. Strictly adult fare.

"Flint's Fuse" - 3 stars. I didn't buy the love story, there were really no grounds for love, but the sexual tension was good. The heroine is a spoiled rich girl who secretly longed for a man to master her and she meets him in the person of her kidnapper (who isn't really a kidnapper).He doesn't really share anything about himself with her. So why does she supposedly falls for him? Ask the author.
"Love's Prisoner" - 4.5 stars. Mary Janice is good. The story had a great start and the elevator scene was very well executed. The punishment scene further into the story was a little... extreme, but from the werewolf perspective, understandable. The heroine's denial of the state of things (her feelings and other obvious truths) was a bit annoying, but also understandable at some level. Interesting start for a series.
"The Education of Miss Felicity Wells" - would you bother to read a story named like that? This has become a habit of mine with the "Secrets" books - I skip a story. Or, should I say, I leave it for another time.
"Candidate for the Kiss" - pretty good. 4.5 stars. Angela Knight's writing is so steamy I tend to overlook that the love thing is a little rushed. Anyway, who's to say there's no such thing as love at first... orgasm?

"Candidate for the Kiss" - pretty good. 4.5 stars. Angela Knight's writing is so steamy I tend to overlook that the love thing is a little rushed. Anyway, who's to say there's no such thing as love at first... orgasm?

Nothing about those forced sexual encounters in Love’s Prison were palatable. The whole aspect of that being part of his werewolf nature etc. flew over my head completely because as we can see in his POV parts, he very well understands the concept of rape.
Also, I will not diminish my intelligence by just going along with him(Michael) “struggling” to show her(Jeannie) their werewolf customs. As a man who is apparently very rich (owning some big company or something), he should very well have a decent enough grasp on how to correctly interact with humans and be able to at least understand that the second “forced encounter” was not acceptable. His pack members were capable of understanding this, why couldn’t he?
Anyway, I feel traumatised for Jeannie because clearly she lost all common sense and began to suffer from some serious psychological disorders coming on to the end of the book.

Anthology I didn't read all of the stories, just the Mary Janice Davidson and the Angela Knight. I liked Davidson's story more but Knight's story was better than average. Worth a read just for those two. Average is 4 stars.
Love's Prisoner by Mary Janice Davidson: Loved this story. I've found I have an affinity with sexual encounters in elevators, which this story has. Loved how the heroine fights her feelings saying what she kind of means but in parentheses what she wishes she could say. Very good story. *****
The Candidate For The Kiss by Angela Knight: Pretty good. Sassy reporter, lonely spy for US vampire. A little hokey ending. ***
The Education Of Miss Felicity Wells by Alice Gaines: Didn't read
Flint's Fuse by Sandy Fraser: Didn't read.

It was rape and I can't condone it
November 30, 2018
This review is only for the first book... Love's Prisoner. For some reason the first sex scene didn't bother me as being rape. Yes, if you take that the girl was saying no, it most certainly was. Perhaps my antipathy was due to the nature of the beast (werewolf) and all that. Now the second scene... that disturbed me. He chose to rape her as punishment.
I also couldn't give it a good rating since there wasn't much chemistry. Of course, rape then abduction... where would there be a chance for chemistry?
I don't like anthologies either. Rarely do I read the books not directly part of the series I am reading.
The thing that saved it from a one star is that the heroine was an awesome marksman.

All of the stories are fairly good but I primarily read the book for the Wyndham Werewolf series that is a spinoff of MaryJanice Davidson’s Dead series.
It seems that many of the stories are initially part of novella anthologies until the middle of the series. So I still don’t know much about them yet, as they have been difficult to locate.
I had also read some of Angela Knight’s vampire stories but didn’t realize that they were in various times and places.

One star for MaryJanice Davidson, I really like Betsy Taylor books, but this is so much, I am very disappointed, how Can some one agree with a Rape story? Is so bad in many many levels, we need stop normalize the rape. Rape is not romantic, rape is not foreplay, and is so bad after the rape she is in love, please, is not good

Read the Wyndham Werewolf - Love's Prisoner by MaryJanice Davidson. It was ok.
April 10, 2019
I only read Love's Prisoner and it was a bit bland. Everything was too easily resolved, but otherwise, it was ok...just ok.

Only read Flint's Fuse and Love's Prisoner
December 21, 2023
There are four romances in this anthology.
The Series
"Love's Prisoner" (Wyndham Werewolf, 1)
"A Candidate for the Kiss" (Vampires, 6)
The Stories
Sandy Fraser's "Flint's Fuse"
This finds Flint kidnapping his boss' daughter, Dana Madison, to keep her out of trouble while Madison finishes up a major business deal. A month of pure torture for both. For different reasons.
This was cute, but too clichéd to really catch my interest. Fraser had Dana doing a too-abrupt one-eighty on her feelings toward Flint much too easily. There was no build-up, no finesse.
MaryJanice Davidson's "Love's Prisoner"
This finds Michael Wyndham trapped in an elevator with Jeannie Lawrence on the cusp of the full moon. And she smells too good to ignore.
Clever and cute especially with Michael's complete openness with Jeannie and his pack. Too funny.
Alice Gaines' "The Education of Miss Felicity Wells"
This is quite the Victorian erotic adventure as Miss Felicity Wells seeks a sexual education in pleasing her future husband from Boston's most notorious hedonist, Dr. Marcus Slade.
I did enjoy Gaines' history "lesson" with the very emancipated Miss Wells. A unique twist on "sex = love".
Angela Knight's "A Candidate for the Kiss"
This has a unique approach with a somewhat clichéd ending which finds the secret government agency Archer works for requiring that Archer tap Dana Ivory to serve them instead of the The Adamsburg Weekly Tribune. Not what Dana was expecting when she hid out in the treehouse to eavesdrop on the plotters.
The Cover and Title
The cover finds a suspicious, blonde beauty in some kind of top glaring out at us while a short-haired, possibly naked, blond is hovering over her shoulder.
Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance is simply volume six of a series of romantic anthologies under the Secrets name.

Described as The best in Women's Erotic Romance, I'll agree to that!
Reading Flint's Fuse, I wasn't sure what to make of it. How can two people fall in love one only one does all the talking? Honestly? Dana was getting on my nerves like you wouldn't believe. While she constantly fought to get way from Flint, I found her to be shallow and whiny. By the end of the story, I can easily say that the lust between them was strong, but I can't say that I believe the characters would be together forever. I didn't find it as erotic as some stories, but it definitely heated things up.
I thought the characters complex in Davidson's Love's Prisoner. Although I've read plenty of werewolf stories, this one had an added twist (punishment and that's all I'll say so that I don't spoil it for you) that I found fascinating. I'd never read anything like that before. A couple of action scenes that get the blood pumping, and erotic for sure!
I'm still not quire sure I understand how Marc and Felicity managed to fall in love. Erotic scenes and fantasies well done, but they talked about their fantasies, and a couple of experiences, but not the really deep-down stuff. I found it interesting, but not enough to reread.
Now, Angela Knight knows how to write a story! Completely believable characters with deep-seated feelings and dreams. I loved how Archer 'guessed' Dana's secret fantasies. And they talk! They talk about themselves, their pasts, what they want. And the love scenes definitely hot-under-the-collar erotic. I can see why they fell for each other, and I can wish I'd read more of them, like a continuing of their story! Tops for me, but then, Knight's stories always grip me from the first sentence to the last.

Secrets, Volume 6 is an anthology story that includes Love's Prisoner. Love's Prisoner is book one in the Wyndham Werewolf Series by MaryJanice Davidson. The Wyndham Werewolf series collaborates with the Undead series, also by MaryJanice Davidson. MaryJanice writes a very sexy story line and can somehow make an awful premise turn into a hot, sexy story. In this story, we meet Michael Wyndham and Jeannie Lawrence. Michael is the pack leader, alpha male, of the Wyndham Werewolves of Cape Cod. When the power goes out, he's stuck in an elevator with Jeannie, only an hour from the full moon. She's ovulating and Michael cannot control his animal side. He rapes her in the elevator, although he's kind, gentle, and she's into it. What makes it rape? She said no, but at a few points was screaming please and yes. Now, this is not a good story for the feminist or rape victim, because it sends the wrong message. What I said about MaryJanice taking an awful story premise and making it hot, well, she did it here. During the rape or not-rape scene, he's telling her that he's sorry and he's a werewolf and she's ovulating, yadda-yadda-yadda and she's hearing 'I'm crazy, I want you, I'm crazy'. Afterwards, the elevator is about to fall to the basement, so he gets her to safety just in time. She thinks he's dead and mourns his loss, only for him to turn up on her doorstep three weeks later. She's pregnant, which makes her his mate. Rather than lose her and his unborn child to his enemies, he kidnaps her. He tries to explain it to her, but all she hears is 'i'm crazy'. The rest of the story is hot, and yet disturbing, but somehow hot all the same. Michael wins her trust in the end and she becomes his mate.

I have only read two of the stories in the anthology so far.
Flint's Fuse by Sandy Fraser - Not a very good story, it had potential but there was so little normal interaction between the hero and heroine that the story seemed to go nowhere. I didn't really like the love scenes either.
Love's Prisoner by MaryJanice Davidson - First in the Wyndam Werewolves about Michael, the alpha of the Wyndam werewolf pack. Michael gets stuck in an elevator with Jeannie where he scents that she is his mate and is fertile at that point. He could not stop himself from taking her, as the full moon was near. The love scene was forced but it wasn't anything that would put me off. Michael then saved her life as the elevator was about to fall, while she thinks he died in the fall. Three weeks later, she finds out she is pregnant right before Michael shows up at her door. He kidnaps her and takes her to his mansion to keep her safe, as she carries the next alpha of his pack and there are people who would hurt her and the child. There is a transition period where Michael and Jeannie are learning each other and trying to come to terms with the situation. Jeannie fights Michael a lot before she accepts her fate. I wish there would have been a bit more detail on the love scene after they accepted each other but other than that, the story was interesting. There was an even worse forced scene later in the book so don't read this if that type of thing bothers you, I just took it in context of the story and werewolf society.
Overall, I am not all that impressed with this book so far. Lora Leigh books are much hotter and better than these.

I'm not thrilled with this book but I have to admit intrigued me. the plot was interesting I dontthink I've ever read a book where the vamp was a part of secret services type organizations. however the flaws greatly outweighed that. the heroine was a self proclaimed feminist who feels guilty about having sex. that makes her less attractive because its hard to tell what she's saying no to because she's really saying no or what she's saying no to because she's ashamed of what she wants. the hero is way to highhanded for me to really like very much and didn't seem to have many softer feelings toward the heroine despite proclamations of love. the romamce wasn't very well developed but the character did have chemistry. the sex scenes has potential but it was largely ruined by either the heroes action or the heroines reaction. I'm not opposed to bondage but I think this book took it a little far. the writing wasn't bad but when it got all patriotic it got really cheesy. nothing id read again or go out of my way to recommend. I'll give the author another shot though and hope for something better

MaryJanice Davidson's Love's Prisoner:
Davidson is a new-to-me author, but if her other books are as good as this one, I'll be buying many more of them. Given that this story is in an anthology, and therefore not novel length, Davidson does an impressive job, in a short amount of time, of creating both fully formed and thoroughly engaging main characters and minor characters in a werewolf pack. I will admit that I have a soft spot for stories with a feisty heroine and a smitten hero, so this story really appealed to me.
I liked the premise of the story, and as a human can appreciate Jeannie's reaction to her treatment by Michael in the elevator and then again when she experienced mate-punishment. Ordinarily I don't appreciate rape scenarios, but the explanation that Michael's behaviour was accepted between werewolf mates (this is paranormal fiction after all), and his regret following each episode did redeem him. Jeannie was just delightful and I'd love to see more of her, and possibly her cub, in the series.
Very enjoyable and entertaining.

LOVE'S PRISONER. 3.5 stars.
I have owned most of the first books in this series for ages and read them every now and then and though I love the book I still can’t get past the fact that a forced seduction (technically rape) happens twice in this book.
I can understand the basis for what happens in the lift but not the punishment time.
I understand that Michaels culture does not apply to human reasoning but he is traumatising Jeannie.
What makes this even worse is I really do love the characters in this series.
Jeannie is quite a strong heroine all the way through as is evidenced nearly right from the beginning. Her self-defence would be great against a human but is pitiful against a werewolf even though Jeannie sorts out Gerald, twice. With Michael, there is obviously chemistry which works to Michaels advantage but it was just too sudden with the HEA insta love.
I laugh at the scene where Jeannie sorts out the attackers.

This review is for Love's Prisoner by Mary Janice Davidson:
Stars: 4
Overall: I don't think I'll ever look at an elevator the same ever again and i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet. So let me start by saying that I LOVED the idea for this book and the characters, but the plot went by a little to fast for me. In a matter or 48 to 72 hours, she is already in love and it appears as if they are going to have their happily ever after. I just wished that the story could've slowed down a bit so we could've gotten a better chance to know Micheal and what werewolves are all about. Other than that i really enjoyed this story and i read it in about an hour and a half.
Characters: Jeannie & Micheal

This is one of the better ones I've read. The MaryJanice Davidson story is a Wyndham Werewolf story about the pack leader Michael finding his mate under EXTREMELY difficult circumstances, the Angela Knight story is introduced as 'I was watching James Bond do something impossible in one of his movies and I thought - this would be a lot more believable if he was a vampire... The other two were read-onces...
