review 1: '4.5' stars. This is the second novel I've read by this author and I must say, this one was considerably much better than the first (Goldenseal). I found myself laughing out loud page after page after page. I loved this book because it was so original, different and humorous. My only problem was that it ended very abrupt. I was not happy about that. Also, I thought Jolie was be a bit immature for someone of such high status. She's a business woman and she's stealing her PA's chair and stapler? O.o??? dude. really? Was she poor? [insert eye roll here]
review 2: So, my relationship with Gill McKnight's books hasn't exactly been the best. Everyone else seemed to agree though that Ambereye was her best book, so when the chance presented itself, I took it, figuring... more 'What the heck, it can't really be worse than the others". I was a bit worried that another Garoul book would again rub me the wrong way in regards to the non-consensual sex that bothered me so much in Goldenseal, but went ahead anyway.And I enjoyed. In its best moments, the book reminded me of both Doris Day movies (before the author even mentioned Doris Day) and 1930s/40s screwball comedies, esp. Bringing Up Baby. Werewolves, leopards... hello?I cringed a couple times when I feared the non-con issue would come up again, but it was averted and the human reacted in a manner I wish whatshername in Goldenseal had.The only real issue I have with it is that it stopped way too sudden. It was another lesfic book where I turned the page expecting to find something there and be greeted by nothing. I really wish their complex relationship would have been explored further.Nice piece of escapist fluff. When I'm not expecting more, it hits the spot just right. In addition, there were little things that set this book a bit apart from the big lesfic sea of sameness. One of the characters, for example, had a disability, and her health issues were an issue throughout the book. Usually the lesfic world is inhabited by healthy, fit women, so this was a nice change. less
