Moonlit Embrace
When a new werewolf comes to town, shy desk clerk Johanna does everything she can not to fall for him. The cute fool is ruining her life - starting with publicly declaring Johanna his Mate in front of her shocked coworkers, an overbearing sister and anyone else close enough to hear his growl.
Embarrassing.
The fact that he's a chef won't exactly help her waistline either. The sensible thing is to leave Baron Wyatt alone. He won't make it easy. But when dangerous forces from his past put them both at risk, they must work together to find a murderer, and maybe even true love, along the way.

My first book from Lyn Brittan Moonlit Embrance was entertaining.
Baron and Johanna had a fast, explosive and cute meeting.
What I love the most about the book is the humor. It worked for me because the story was so far away from the intense and sexual in your face shifter books.
The light nature of Baron helped and I was glad to see there were no pack and rigid rules of the shifters, mating urges and deadlines, rivalries or anything to influence the main characters. Their relationship evolved fast because of their shifter nature otherwise they were just a normal couple.
The dialogue between Kate and Baron was fun and I wish there was development of the secondary characters.
What I didn't like (here's were I take 0.5* out of my rating) is the fact that Baron and Johanna had a lot of sex but I was not invited to take a peak at it. The park scene was just a tease and had me wanting for more because I could get their chemistry.
I am thorn between reading more from Lyn Brittan or not because I want to full experience of the couple and their adventures not just a brief mention of it.

Funny in places, but probably not as intended.
For example: “He kept talking, but her mind replayed everything he’d said, in that stupid way that little girls do whenever little boys talk. The whole, ‘don’t get too involved,’ crap she promised herself last night flew out the window like panties in the wind.”
Like panties in the wind has just been added to my vocabulary.

Shifter romance between shy desk clerk Johanna and Baron. She’s one sister of triplets and a bit mousy, Baron’s just moved to town to open a restaurant, when he goes to get a permit and smells Johanna for the first time (gotta love shifters and their sense of smell lol). Johanna and Baron realize that someone’s willing to kill to keep secrets from ever being exposed….
The Good and The Bad
I like Ms. Brittan’s “voice” - the story is fun and a slightly different take on the usual shifter romance. Her humor works for me, and there is chemistry between Johanna and Baron. I got it super cheap from ARe and it was a very quick read. The secondary characters with the exception of the two I think most likely to get their own story, were a bit flat.
The grammar/spelling isn’t the greatest and pulled me from the story at times. The flow of the story was off, and I’m guessing a bit of good editing would help this story alot. I’m still not getting the point of the title of the story. The love scenes are more of a tell than show, which was a bit of a disappointment.
The Bottom Line n(2.5 stars)
Quick, funny read if flawed. I’d be interested in seeing what else Ms. Brittan has written.

Baron and Johanna, shifters who meet by chance but soon fall headlong into a riproaring advenure!!!
WHilst there is passion aplenty, my favourite thing is the humour that Lyn injects into all her books and characters. Johanna finds her inner she-wolf and finally becomes the worm who turns on her snotty older triplet. Baron is hiding out from a mysterious incident but that doesn't stop him pursuing Johanna, using every trick in the book including seducing her with his cooking!!!
There was no pack hierarchy or mating rituals etc, this was a much more real world read where the characters just happened to be shifters!! Kate is the sister you love hate from the get go and the tasty dragon ...sigh I wanna know what went on with these two!!!
There is more "off screen" nookie than in other books in the same genre and it was kind of nice to let my imagination take flight and not have the full thing described to me.
I hope there are more books to come with these and the secondary characters!!!

I found this to be disjointed. I had issues following the story. For example, I thought they weren't going out to the bar with Johanna's coworkers. Next thing I knew, they were at the bar with Johanna's coworkers. I had problems like that throughout the entire story. This was short. A novella, I guess, and it took me days to get through it. By the time I made it to the "suspense" part, I was ready to quit reading. I probably should have because the suspense part made no sense. There was no explanation that I recall concerning why the protagonist followed Baron and continued to go after the people s/he went after. There was an explanation for why it started, but not why it continued and forget about how the outcome was explained away. I gave two stars because I finished it.

Not bad. Some humour, some surprises, some violence but not particularly hot in the sex scenes...mostly just...oh, yer they had lots of sex...but the reader is not invited to the details or the events.

“You kicking me out? Use me up, then toss me away?”
“Baron—”
“Begging for crumbs of your attention.”
She flicked his nipple. “I love how normal and undramatic you are.”
Hot guys, werwolves, humor and a witty heroine, I'm looking forward to more by this author :)
