Wild About You

review 1: I really enjoyed this story. This one gave me serious giggles through many of the pages. One of the things that gave me giggles (probably not intended by the author) was the Lycra sweat pants suit that Abby used for hiking. Lycra Sweat pants? In the woods? Seriously?? Hey, but that's just me. There were several hot-n-steamy nature love fests between our two main characters that made me want to go camping again.This was the second book in the Wild About You series, but it could have been read as a stand alone if you wanted. I also enjoyed it more that the first book in the series. I will be moving on to book three.
review 2: Did not finish. I read half the book. Conversations felt like TV sitcom style dialogue.Some reviewers liked it for the perky chick... more lit feel. But it didn’t work for me.Roarke is a wolf-human-shape shifter. His community of werewolves keep their existence secret from humans. Abby discovers he is a werewolf and blackmails him. She tells him she wants to accompany him in a search for Bigfoot. Roarke wants to relocate Bigfoot to a safe area away from humans. So they take camping gear and head to the woods for a few days.If Roarke searched alone, he would do it in wolf form and be fast. He would use smell and speed. But since Abby is with him they travel human walking speed which is slower. I was irritated with Abby. She repeatedly says “I’m not going to slow you down. I’m going to pull my own weight and carry my own back pack.” She says this as if I’m supposed to admire her? Her mere presence slows him down. I did not admire her.Abby has been hot for Roarke since the moment she saw him. She talks him into having sex. After she has an orgasm, she changes her mind and stops without pleasuring him. She says she made a mistake. They are not to have any more sex. She doesn’t want to be another notch on his bedpost. This did nothing for me.NARRATOR:The narrator Abby Craden made it worse. I did not like her interpretation of Abby. It was glib and sarcastic. I would have read some of Abby’s sentences with a more sensitive and sincere feeling. Some of Abby’s sarcastic lines: “Is that so?” and “Thank you very much.” DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Unabridged audiobook reading time: 8 hrs and 34 mins. Swearing language: mild (during the first half). Sexual language: strong. Setting: current day Oregon. Book copyright: 2011. Genre: paranormal romance. less
