It's not easy being a girl. It's even harder when you're the only girl in a family of werewolves. But it's next to impossible when your very existence spells out the doom of your race... Meet Jessica McClain -- she just became part of the pack.
In the vein of Kelley Armstrong and Patricia Briggs, a new urban fantasy that rewrites the werewolf myth...
My review:
I loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I stayed up way into the night reading it, when I really should have been sleeping. 4 A.M. is not an appropriate bedtime for anyone. I loved the characters (even the ones I hated) and thoroughly enjoyed following them through their challenges. I became part of the story at some point although I cannot for the life of me figure out exactly when that happened. I was overjoyed with the way the story and characters evolved. I have one complaint and one complaint only... It. Just. Ends. No resolution or even partial resolution. It just stops, now I understand that this would be a great thing for a cliffhanger or the beginning of a series, which I am sure this is, but you need some kind of resolution. Even if it is just a teaser for the next book. Cliffhangers lead us to the next book. This just stopped. Kind of like this review.

I have 9 reviews ready but thought that it would be a bit much for the blog. So, you will be getting quite a few of these 3 reviews off of my kindle for the next few days.
Alexia
is a lively, single, sassy and sexy coven witch, somehow she finds
herself and her sex life ( or lack of it) the hot topic of her fellow
coven sisters after one of her covens full moon meetings. Add the mix
the discovery of an old spell. Alexia's life starts to change very
quickly from the moment that a spirit named Lance appears and comes into
her life. Throw in the heat of the full moon and a hint of destiny,
life will never be the same again for Alexia.
Fringe Benefit by Christine Pope
Synopsis:
Katherine Wheeler knows the $167 plus change in her bank account isn't
about to pay the rent, so she takes a gamble and answers an online ad
for a job that sounds too good to be true. She figures she can always
quit if it turns out to be more than she bargained for.
Alarm bells go off when she realizes her new boss is dangerously attractive, but Katherine figures she can handle the situation. Pieter Van Rijn appears to be a consummate professional. What could possibly go wrong?
After managing the lovestruck son of a movie producer, a threatened lawsuit, and even an earthquake, Katherine thinks she can handle just about anything—except wanting a man who doesn't seem to want her back…
A sweetly sensual romance.

I loved this book. What would you do if
your rent was due and your bank account was almost empty. Would you
take a job with a larger than life paycheck but very few details? I
am not sure I would but Kat sure would and does. It is one of those
love and luck can come from anywhere books. I know, I have those rose
colored glasses on again but sometimes I think love can overcome even
the strangest of circumstances.
Lucky in Love by Karina Gioertz
Synopsis:
Most
days Lucky doesn’t mind being single. And why would she? Between her
three male roommates, there’s always someone around to keep her company.
But then as relationships evolve and change, Lucky soon finds herself
being left behind.
When Lucky’s birthday rolls around and she finds herself being the only one without a date in a room full of people, she has to face the sad truth that the three men in her life all have women in their lives that aren’t her. Lucky finally asks herself how she wound up there. Has love been avoiding her…or has she been avoiding love?

Lucky is the main character who wants
to have her cake and eat it too, well in a sense it is that kind of
story. The problem is that she doesn't realize that is what she wants
until it is too late, but the guy does and well, he is a guy. I loved
the storyline and even though I wanted more, I understood why all
things must come to an end. The way the characters are portrayed in
the books you often wonder though which boy is she going to pick....
I think part of her wants them all and I think all three of them
wants part of her.

This was short and not at all what I
expected. I felt like I was reading an excerpt from a much longer
book. I wanted to know more about both main characters and their
backgrounds. They just didn't have enough depth and when the author
tried to give them some, it actually felt like it was too late. For
some this format can work but for me, it just didn't meet the mark. I
will say that it was very hot and steamy and I love the bit of
romance in it. So if we got the rest of the story, I could see myself
curled up with a nice honey mead, devouring the book.
