review 1: Has anyone else noticed that Stormy Glenn has written the same novel about 20 times now? Released with a different title and different character names, but still. So formulaic that I can predict the whole plot.3 men, either two tops, or two bottoms. The most junior bottom is always a feisty but delicate little thing that's really a bodice-ripper swooning maiden with a cock. The tops are always growly but invariably have the communication skills of potatoes, resulting in the necessary misunderstanding that delays their HEA by about 50 pages. Whoever is the junior top or senior bottom is the glue that keeps them together. There's a conflict somewhere in the book, but it's fairly minor and resolved quickly. And the whole book revolves around the three of them hooking up... more. Any secondary plot is purely token and takes up no more than 5 pages total.Here's the problem, because the primary plot always revolves around the three guys hooking up after getting past a misunderstanding and the secondary plot is so token as to be little more than filler in the blurb, every book winds up having the same damn plot. Even the characters are all the same. It's been a very long time since Ms. Glenn presented an original concept in a book.Why does Siren keep publishing this? Why do people keep buying this? Maybe if people stopped buying this then the author would have to come up with more original ideas? I understand that this is supposedly Stormy Glenn's livelihood. If this is how I did my job, I'd have gotten fired.
review 2: Man in the Middle was a very nice addition to Stormy Glenn's Wolf Creek Series. Not only did we get introduced to some new characters, but we had a chance to catch up with some old ones as well.Chase Morgan has been avoiding his mates Justin Ried and Taylor Foyt for a few months now, after discovering them when he helped to rescue the men being held by the Teacher. Every since that fateful day, Chase has thought about nothing but keeping his men safe, even if that meant keeping them away from himself.Taylor Foyt and Justin Ried have known that Chase is their mate since first meeting the wolf. They see his ill fated attempts to keep them at arms length, but both are growing tired of wanting a male that doesn't seem to want them. So what's a man to do when his mate doesn't seem interested....?The inner struggle that Chase dealt with in wanting to keep his mates safe was well done. You could see that he wanted both men, yet something held him back and it was upsetting when said men came to their own conclusions, albeit the wrong one. This story is all about communication. One of the key element in making or breaking any relationship. It is apparent that if these fella's had just been able to put their issues aside, they might have been able to forgo everything that happened to them.Then again, maybe not.There are some things in the story that lead to self discoveries and harsh realities. Yet the men seem to some out stronger for it all. Which was good to see. You get so also see some character progression in this books as well. Once these man learn things about each other and situation arise that change the course of their lives, you see the differences in them.A very nice addition to the series. And a nice lead in to book 10. Well done, Stormy. less
