An interesting read. ( )

I've read some of the other reviews and they say that this is very used theme, but since I'm a huge romantic and a huge werewolf fan I do not agree. I can never get tired of this kind of books, that's just the way I am. Also, even if the general story is very basic, there were new, unique things in this book. Two mates, a human bad-ass girl etc. and I loved every word of it. I just hated the ending and now I have to get my hands on the next book. ( )

First book in an erotic paranormal series by author Vella Day.

This is pretty short, not much more then a novella, which may explain some of the problems I have with this book. I think the author tried to squeeze too much into too short of story. There are erotica, paranormal romance, suspense and even a little mystery elements all thrown into a 163 page book. While the premise was pretty good, the execution was somewhat off. And I believe some of it stems from the short book length. I never got a chance to get to know the main characters. The plot seemed rushed and the action hurried. The writing also seemed somewhat stilted and unnatural. I am more a fan of paranormal then erotica and the paranormal aspects of the book were diffidently overshadowed by the erotica. And the erotica part was pretty much the standard fare.
That said, the author and the series both show promise, I hope we get to see more of it in her next book. But if you are looking for a quick read that is lite and easy to follow and are a fan of the paranormal and erotica I would recommend you give this book a try.

PLEASE NOTE: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an HONEST review.

It was good..I loved all the twists the story had..I loved how the brothers were so different with each other but so same in the way they both love Liz..
Liz is probably one of the most kickass female leads I've ever read about..The way she just decided that she will kill Couch..her determination and devotion to her dead mother..Kickass stubborn but incredibly loyal to the core..
Dante is a sweetheart..He is the man every girl dreams about..
But I think Trax is the one every girl obsesses over..
They make a very interesting trio..However,what I didn't like was the fact that only men can be werewolves..That is soo not fair..

I'm very interested in reading the next book..There are some things we still don't know.. ( )

TRAINING THEIR MATE by Vella Day

PLEASE NOTE: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an HONEST review. However - be aware that I hadn't paid attention & I had already read this book as a purchased copy. Get over it - I'm a Mom so I have no brain cells remaining.

I had already read this book -- when I requested it as a read & review I thought it sounded familiar, but let's be honest with each other -- a lot of these shifter novels seem to have some cookie cutter elements, so since it sounded "familiar" I didn't think too much of it.

Despite having read it before, I still enjoyed it. Since I hadn't completely blocked it from my mind, I couldn't have thought it too horrendous or I wouldn't have remembered it at all. [Just sayin'.]

In the Pack Wars series you have the good guys, "The Pack", and you have the bad guys, "The Colters". Unfortunately, Liz gets caught between the two. Her mother had been raped by a Colter, Harvey Couch, and Liz wants revenge. She buys out his secretary in order to get a job with him and tries to kill him - but unknown to her, he's a werewolf so he smells the GHB she put into his drink in order to subdue him to kill him. He then decides she needs killed... and during that attempt, she is saved by Trax - a member of The Pack.

Trax, and his brother, Dante, realize that Liz is their mate... and thus begins their "training" -- since Trax is a Dom & they have a built-in "playroom" in their condo. Read the story for what all happens; it is an easy read since it is short. This actually stifles the flow of the book at bit simply because it could easily have been expanded; but for a "hit & run" style book it's great. Good to go into the beach bag for a breaktime read!

Be aware - this book features M/F interaction; M/F/M interaction (no sibling/male interaction); BDSM play; and explicit sexual acts. (Yay, Vella Day LOL!!) ( )
