review 1: Barbie Bradley was hoping to meet a single guy and even though she was a little reluctant to her best friend’s idea of trying a singles event at a graveyard, she figured she could at leave give it a try. But before she even makes it to the party she swept off her feet by a mysterious man, literally. I’ve got some mixed feelings about this story. I felt that sometimes some conversations or descriptions went on too long while other times things were glossed over and went too quick. A lot of times I also found myself questioning Barbie’s choices, they didn’t really seem believable. Besides that, I really did enjoy the humor in this story and thought this was a cute story. I may not be looking in the right spot, but I am hoping that there’s a companion story that tel... morels of Barbie’s best friend and what she was getting up to during this story. Overall, I did enjoy the story and will continue to read Linda Thomas-Sundstrom for some funny, lighthearted paranormal romance.
review 2: I was torn between giving this a two and a three, as the book was reasonably (read "barely") enjoyable to read. But it's not a very good book. The writing is poor, the characterizations. For me, a three star passes a certain level of being a decent read (not a recommended or a superb read, but a decent one); this didn't pass muster.There's Barbie, a borderline whiny heroine, who has to become irrational in order for the plot to work, and Darin (like the singer Bobby), with too-long hair, rippling muscles, and the most egregious case of "how to have a curse that varies from minute to minute" in any werewolf book ever. On one single moonlit night (he gets 3 per month), he sets up a late dinner date (9:00, seriously?) and spends time hopping into and out of his wolfish form. The first sixty or seventy pages of the book, by the way, occur as our heroine WALKS ACROSS A FIELD. Not literary greatness by any means.If you see it in the library and you're a fast reader? Sure, pick it up. Maybe you'll finish it, maybe not. But it's not quite worth the "buy" recommendation, even if you're on vacation and see it reasonably priced in a used book store, a situation which, for me offers far lower standards in reading than I usually go for. less
