review 1: Jake Holiday is running a small bookstore that is going under. While balancing boxes, he’s assisted by Delany Coltran, who is lost and needs directions. When Del meets Jake he realizes he has found his mate.Del is an ex-bodyguard with his own company. Though Del has just met his mate, he can’t tell him who and what he is. He stakes his claim with a kiss. When Jake needs Del’s help with the truth of whom and what Del is – will it tear them apart for good?Delany’s Catch by Diana DeRicci is a fun, sweet, yet hot read I could not put down. I like the shy insecure Jake; he has layers which made me really fall for him. He’s smart in some ways, tender in others and then he can turn all shy and needy. Del is used to being the big, bad alpha, the one taking care of some... moreone else. The fact Jake needs him is even more of a turn on for the alpha inside him. Unfortunately he can’t be totally truthful about who and what he is. Yet, he doesn’t want to lose the man he knows is his.I liked how this book was paced; it went at just the right speed and the relationship between the two men didn’t seem rushed. I loved the connection between the characters – it just made me want more. I pick up a Diana DeRicci book because I know I will get a hot story with characters I can fall in love with and Delany’s Catch is no exception.
review 2: 3.5 StarsJake runs a book store and one morning, Delaney, who runs a body guard company, comes in to ask directions and is instantly smitten. It’s soon revealed that Delaney is a wolf shifter, and he realizes immediately that Jake is his mate, however he doesn’t want to freak him out. Jake has been celibate since his ex left him three years ago but is equally drawn to the hotness that is Del who commits to going slowly and not freaking Jake out with the shifter stuff. Things are going well for a couple of months, when he invites Jake to his family/pack BBQ. When one of the kids gets trapped in the forest in his wolf form, the truth comes out and Jake doesn’t take it very well, and Delaney retreated into a bottle unless his secretary kicks his ass. I do find I have a penchant for shifter stories. So sue me. J But I like the whole mate scenario and yes, the characters were pretty stereotypical - book geek, ex-army bodyguard. I liked that Del tried to be patient; he didn’t do the claiming thing because he wanted Jake to like him first, although by hiding it he obviously screwed up. So it’s an enjoyable read without much angst save for the short separation which is handled pretty quickly once Del sobers up. If you're in the mood for a shifter it's worth checking out. This is the second book I've read by this author and she has an easy to read enjoyable style for me. less
