review 1: Why oh why was this book .5??? Makes no sense!Description:om the moment he saw the pale-haired beauty, Draicon werewolf Etienne Robichaux vowed to claim Cindy Parker as his mate. Nothing will stand in his way. After learning she’s targeted by a Columbian drug mob, the former Navy SEAL will do everything in his power to protect her.His touch ignites her passion and his tender concern touches her soul. But Cindy has a deadly secret she hides from Etienne, one that not only risks losing her heart to handsome shifter, but her very lifeMy Thoughts:I was fortunate enough to have read one or two of these books out of sequences several years ago and the story has haunted me so I wanted to learn more, I finally got all the books in the Draicon series and delved in to read them. ... moreThis title was marked .5 in the series...WHY? It seems that this had an already established character base and there was an on going story in the background, if I hadn't read a book or two before I probably would have been lost. I genuinely liked the characters we met including the hateful parents, eventually. However, I had counted on this being an intro to the series and was sorely disappointed and couldn't get past it. For that reason I am keeping my review short as I couldn't focus properly on the fine points of the writing. 3 star read for me..would have been more probably if it was numbered correctly and put in the series where it belonged. :(
review 2: Wow so I'm on a werewolf kick. I found a bunch of .99 short stories on Amazon and I'm plowing through them. This book was about a werewolf Alpha (Etienne )coming to claim his mate (Cindy). He met her a year earlier and had been waiting for her to be ready to commit to a life with him. When he hears she is in danger due to some bad business deals by her father he comes to take her and keep her safe. Cindy wants the life with Etienne, but she has a secret holding her back. She is afraid Etienne won't want her anymore once he learns the truth. Etienne can feel that there is something wrong, but is having trouble getting Cindy to open up about it.I loved how much Etienne loved Cindy. You could feel it immediately, when the story began. I hated that Cindy was pushing him away. But once it was from her point of view I understood why she was trying to protect herself from getting to close to him. One thing I thought was GLARINGLY obvious, were the reasons her family suddenly disowned her. I knew as soon as her dad said it, what it was about. Not a big mystery there. But it was still a fun little story to read. less
