The blurb explains the story.
More chapters of sex than story but what bit of story there is, is enjoyable.
No real relationship or getting to know the other, just insta love.
Not real keen that both Mary and especially Dominic treat sex so casually. Both have had lots of lovers. Makes me think they don’t care about their sexual health much. Dominic is at least covered as he is a werewolf.
Found his old fashioned way of addressing Mary slightly out of place. Made him seem ancient or patronising.
Still full of proofing errors that have not been cleaned up from original version.
Have owned this book for many years but original review is missing.
I pick this series up every now and then for a reread.
Great to see this series in KU so I am reading it that way as there is now a sixth book.

Very little story, almost half the book is one long ass sex scene in which is slow not steamy. The books blurb tells you the story in shorter version.

This one was okay. Not as awesome as the books before this one in the series. But overall it was a good book. Mary was only look for answers and Dom was too. But what they got was each other. It was a really quick read, BTW.

This was a nice solid story. I liked the interaction between Mary and Dominic. It wasn't overdone and their romance didn't happen in an instant...even though their attraction did.

This series is very good.

[Susie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I would rather give it 2.5 stars. It wasn't horrible but just not much substance, and the relationship was just too quick to even be remotely believable.

Light bondage scenes, plot was ok felt it needed more depth
