review 1: Harry Smith è un lupo solitario, e a lui piace così. Quando viene scelto per diventare co-alpha del branco locale, c’è soltanto una cosa che può fare per mantenere la libertà: scappare. Ma ci vorrà un miracolo per evitare i mannari nel loro stesso territorio.June Travis è innamorata di Harry da anni, ma lui non conosce la sua reale identità. La vede come la dolce proprietaria di una sala da te locale: la facciata che presenta ai mannari e agli umani per nascondere il fatto che è una strega. Magari non potrà offrire a Harry un miracolo, ma sicuramente lo può aiutare a scappare.Harry è attratto da questo nuovo lato di June, e non soltanto perchè le è grato dell’aiuto. Nasconti temporaneamente dalla magia di lei, il lupo e la strega esplorano la loro attrazi... moreone reciproca. Peccato che ci siano conseguenze per le streghe che si fanno mettere orizzontali dai lupi….Assolutamente esplosivo! Amo la scrittura e lo stile di questa scrittrice. Ho ridacchiato per tutto il romanzo, assolutamente brillante! Se fosse stato un film sarebbe stato quasi a costo zero, si risolve tutto nella stessa città e in due giorni, ma è talmente effervescente che è stato un piacere leggerlo, un vero balsamo per lo stress e per i nervi tesi. Non sarà un premio nobel per la letteratura, ma ti porta via che è un piacere: scorrevole e affascinante, sexy e piccante al punto giusto, un mix perfetto per passare il tempo durante un luuuungo viaggio in treno. O in vacanza; Pasqua si avvicina, lo mettiamo in wish list?I personaggi sono molto simpatici, soprattutto nel modo in cui interagiscono. June si contraddice un pelo, con i suoi “no – forse – spogliami! – no, forse è meglio di no – allora, non mi hai ancora spogliata?”Ma alla fine fa ridere anche quello.Harry, deciso, vuole June a prima vista e non vuole il branco. Semplice. Infatti non ci meravigliamo nemmeno (non tanto, almeno… solo un po’) quando le chiede di sposarla di punto in bianco, dopo averla conosciuta due giorni. E non ci meravigliamo nemmeno della nota a margine che June è riuscita a posporre le nozze. Veramente, ragazze, non so come dirvelo, leggetelo.Si ringrazia NetGalley per la gentile preview.
review 2: Giving this a 3.5 stars - It was really a cute story - but I don't know if it's because I wasn't feeling well, or if I just didn't seem to connect well with the main characters. Well mostly June. Usually when I read a book I can get their look and voice and everything in my head and read the book as that character - but June just kind of had one of those really .... June Cleaver type attitudes. And I guess it just didn't go well with the way it read in the book. It was really a cute story though - I liked the way the Witches and Werewolves are connected - but only the Witches know of the Wolves, but the wolves don't know about the witches. Why .. well that's the most interesting part of the story :) The book starts off with Harry at the small little Tea Room Cafe - not a typical place for a big strong lone wolf to hang out - but he's a lone wolf for a reason - he refuses to belong to a Pack. They killed his mother when he was a kid, and he swore he'd never join a pack, even though he has the Alpha Gene. Sitting in the same town cafe , Harry has been a regular there for 8 years now. Sadie, the head cook knows exactly how he likes his stakes. Although stakes isn't something usually ordered there, she makes it special just for him. They go to a movie night in town, and hang out at her house. She's just about the best friend a guy could ask for. And best of all, she wasn't a Wolf - If she was only, say 50 years younger, he would be all over her. But Sadie was an older woman, just like many of the other regulars they hung out with. Harry liked them a lot and considered them good friends. When Bianca (The Local Pack's Female Alpha) walks into the Cafe with her 2 BFF's, letting Harry know that Bert, her husband was now officially kicked out of the Pack for breaking the law and going to jail. The Pack NEEDS another Alpha Gene to even out the Pack. And if Harry didn't do it, the pack would fade out. Bianca wasn't going to let that happen. She would do anything to keep her pack. So she gives him until 3:00 to get things in order, but she issues a Lock Down of the state and calls in some help form the nearby packs to help make sure Harry doesn't have a choice but to go to the Pack Bonding Ceremony. Trying to get away as quickly and quietly as he could, Harry sneaks to his garage (he's a mechanic) And that's where he finds Sadie... at least he thought it was Sadie - it smelt like Sadie, and from a distance, she looked like Sadie - only younger... about 50 years younger.. Enter June - June is Sadie's "Grand-daughter" only deep down, she has a secret. She's a witch, and Sadie isn't who Harry thinks she is. June helps Harry escape from Bianca and her friends, but Harry can't figure out how they got away. When they get in the car, Harry passes out. June drives them as far as she could go, then puts a spell over the car. She tells Harry not to drive anymore, she needed to rest. Then she falls into a deep sleep. Well harry isn't one to believe in magic, and he's definitly not going to sit around in the car while June sleeps while the Pack is hunting them down. So he gets in the drivers seat and takes off. Pulling over to take a better look/listen around to see if they're being hunted, Harry notices a couple of wolves in human form. But for some reason, they don't recognize Harry, or his sent. How could that be?? it's magic :) Like I said, before - this was a really cute story, but June was just a little too .... good for this part :) She scolded Harry for using foul language, for thinking unkind thoughts out loud. It wasn't a PG book - in fact, it their relationship grew pretty quickly, and even though it was forbidden for a Werewolf and a Witch to mate... hey it happens, right :) So yeah, it was cute and that's what I thought about this book :) less
