review 1: Just fantastic. Still frustrated by the editor for these books. Misplaced commas, tense changes, missing words -- the errors aren't overwhelming, but they are distracting! And so easy to fix. Laurenston's stories are such fun, with inventive, HOT sex (her sex scenes don't get stale, book after book), and intriguing, fascinating, eccentric characters, snappy dialogue, and an interesting through-line from book to book (that never overwhelms the individual stories). Laurenston's sex scenes are steamy and fun, but what I really love is that they don't take over the book to the point that I wish these people would quit f*****g and just GET ON WITH THE STORY!! It's a paranormal romance -- sex should be hot and usually there is plenty of it -- but Laurenston doesn't give the read... moreer a moan-by-moan account every time the characters get frisky. And I like that. It really gets old in some other books. Her dialogue sparkles and suits her characters. I must admit that ALL of her characters cross their eyes too frequently. I'm good with it as a mannerism/expression for one or two, but not EVERYONE expresses themselves that way.I love a good series, because I enjoy revisiting characters that I spent time with, got to know -- and got to like -- seeing them from different perspectives, through the eyes of different characters. The Pride series gives me that, and I love it.
review 2: This book of Laurenston's Pride series features Ulrich Van Holtz and Dee Ann Smith. After the awesome-ness that was the previous book of this series (featuring Blayne and Bo), I was disappointed by this one. Its still good overall, but the lack of connection between the main characters (despite a several book set up) and less tie-in to the previous book than I expected knocked it down a few stars. The connection between the secondary characters is great as always, and I liked seeing Hannah and Abby featured. I'm still looking forward to reading the next one. less
