review 1: I really loved this story of a bad-boy shapeshifter with a chocolate addiction who finds his mate in a sweet but fiery baker. This is probably one of the best shifter/werewolf stories I've read. The couple is cute, the romance and sexual tension builds throughout the story...and we get a true seduction, not the "Hi, you're hot, let's jump into bed and sort out relationship stuff later" that you usually get with erotic fiction.Dayton, the werewolf, is a typical alpha male...big, bad, scary. He's a loner, and doesn't want the pack leader alpha position...but he's also got a sweet tooth, and loves chocolate, despite the fact that it's toxic to dogs and werewolves and could kill him if he consumes too much. I love the blend of opposites in his character...he's a bad boy bu... moret he loves chocolate, he's alpha and scary but he spends time, money, and effort wooing Connor. It makes him sexy and romantic, but still all male, and I love that.Connor is also a study in contrasts...he's sweet and caring, a generally gentle baker who is artistic and creative. At the same time, though, he's not a pushover; he'll stand up for himself and for what he believes in, even to scary Dayton when they first meet, as well as his current boss with threats to the fire marshal. I love how he's attracted to Dayton, but that doesn't mean he's going to let him growl and run over his life...he's not a traditional "submissive" partner to an alpha werewolf.In the end, I think this is an awesome shifter story, with a lot of plot undercurrents that add spice and richness to the story and the characters involved. I also like, as mentioned before, how the romance progresses. It doesn't burn hot right from the start, but a gradually building heat that makes the end that much more satisfying. Highly recommended.
review 2: Very short, very fun story about a chocolate-addicted werewolf who finds his mate in a talented baker. I loved the humor in this story as much as the many little details about the wolf's addiction; they will delight any chocolate lover.Dayton is a very determined wolf, not just sure about how he likes his chocolate, but determined to deal with the side effects. After all, chocolate isn't good for werewolves. Not that he cares. Connor, the baker, admires bad boy Dayton from afar, having no idea that he and his secret admirer are the same man. When they do finally get together, they melt the sheets.I really liked this mix of humor, the touch of paranormal abilities adding an extra dimension to the perception of the food and other scents. Very entertaining. less
