review 1: At this point, I can't avoid the comparison between the Moonlight series and J.D. Robb's In Death series - both have similar main characters but the relationship evolves differently.The guy in both series is the leader of a criminal organization and the female is a tough-ass cop. That's where the similarities end, because Max seems whiny and submissive to me, and also he has severe issues when it comes to his self-esteem. Also, over 4 books, they haven't managed to obtain certainty over their relationship or solve any other conflicts when it comes to their connections to their respective worlds.The next books in this series expand with other couples, but from what I have read in the reviews, the main couple still keep a fairly important presence in the stories. I am intere... moresting in solving some of the mysteries so I'll keep reading, but I sure hope Max will find his spine somewhere along the way.
review 2: Bound by Moonlight by Nancy GideonParanormal Romance – July 26th, 20114 starsBound by Moonlight is the forth in the author’s Moonlight series and it is just starting to heat up!Detective Charlotte is known for her tough incorruptibility but the lines blur as her steamy relationship with the sexy crime boss Max is making things very complicated. As their relationship brings them closer they form an uneasy truce. The deeper Charlotte becomes involved with Max, the more she finds she puts him and those under his care in danger. When Max’s secret begins to leak out, Charlotte finds herself trying to protect him and those like him. Torn by Max’s anguish over his mother’s death, they try to uncover the truth but it may not be what they expect. This series really grows on you as the rocky relationship between the two opposing characters really starts to settle. Both characters have issues from their past which haunt them. They sort of reminded me of J. D. Robb’s Death series characters. I particularly liked this book because the author spends time going into Max’s past and his heritage. Max has always felt unwanted and used for his power as a shifter to mete justice by his adopted father, Jimmy. Jimmy was a crime boss and gave Max shelter and food but no real affection. Max has lived a chaotic life and basic human contact is hard for him but he cares so much for Charlotte he is willing to change. As their relationship evolves, Charlotte learns to unbend from her strict black and white views and Max struggles to be more ‘human.’ The addition of other shifters and revelations of Max’s murky past make for some very intriguing reading. Definitely the best in the Moonlight series by far. The author increases the stakes as she reveals secrets to Max’s scarred past and delves into the intense relationship between the two main characters.Reviewed by Steph from the Bookaholics Romance Book Club less
