review 1: It was raining today and made a nice way to spend the afternoon. I liked the story even with no villan in sight. The angst came from a couple who had two totally different ideas of what they wanted in life. Both lonely and looking for more, Micah was ready for a mate. Shea on the other hand was looking for a more regular physical contact with someone. He was too busy at work, too worried about exposing his sexuality and worried he couldn't offer the care and affection having a mate would entail.Micah started out a little on the selfish side, taking a chance and putting someone in danger for completely selfish reasons. He redeemed himself somewhat by doing the right thing and putting his temporary lovers safety before his own. It was also enough of a wake up call for... more him to decide what it was he really wanted and then go about working towards it. His vulnerability totally redeemed him for me once he found what he was looking for and couldn't figure out why he couldn't have it.I had a hard time liking Shea and his actions more often than not made him seem selfish and superficial than anything else. Though we're told of his OCD, you really don't see any evidence of it. Perhaps I may have felt different if it was an integral part of the story and the direct reason for his actions. As it was, even though he stepped up in the end, the mating felt unsatisfying for me.I found Ms. Tyler's writing smooth and fluent and there were less errors in this book than the first. I will be looking for the next installment.
review 2: Different from the first book, this story is "desperate-to-mate guy finds partner unwilling to consider a relationship". I found it heartbreaking to watch Micah, who was kicked out of his birth pack because he interacted with a human, finally settle down and find a man he really liked - only to find out that Shea wasn't even interested. And even though Shea rejects him again and again, he can't stop falling deeper in love.She is an interesting guy. At first glance, he is cold to the point of being inhuman, but he isn't evil. He is just utterly socially incompetent, and it takes his wolf waking up before Shea even GETS what Micah means to him.If you like werewolf stories of the more civilized kind, if you prefer a straightforward plot with lots of drama, rejection, and desperation, and if you're looking for a hot "geek figures out how to relate to his lover" read, then you will probably like this novella. less
