When I read about the neutered werewolf brother of Lucas Colbert in "Just One Bite" (book 1 this series), I couldn't wait to hear more about Robert and the entire Colbert Seattle werewolf clan. Ms. Snowdon excels at crafting a fun, sexy, face-paced read - so I wasn't surprised when "First Bite is the Deepest" had me glued to the pages. I loved following Robert and Ella (his reluctant human mate with a mysterious family history of her own) from their first meeting at an auction house (where Rober ...more

Ella and her friend Leanne were at an auction Leanne told Ella she should bid on a picture of wolves to go above her fireplace and Ella got the picture. Two men rushed into the auction and offered Ella fifty dollars for the picture which she had said she paid eight dollars for it Ella went to walk away with her picture one of the men grabbed her arm and Ella felt warmth usually Ella hated any stranger touching her normally. Ella doesn’t care for really hot looking guys who will not treat her as Ella and her friend Leanne were at an auction Leanne told Ella she should bid on a picture of wolves to go above her fireplace and Ella got the picture. Two men rushed into the auction and offered Ella fifty dollars for the picture which she had said she paid eight dollars for it Ella went to walk away with her picture one of the men grabbed her arm and Ella felt warmth usually Ella hated any stranger touching her normally. Ella doesn’t care for really hot looking guys who will not treat her as a equal. Then Ella realized why the one man looked familiar.He was Robert Colbert from Designed By Colbert. He had been on a tv show about how Robert and his team designed and decorated high priced places. Lucas and Robert were brothers and that was a family picture Ella now owned. Jeanette was their sister and was hanging with a Los Lobos gang member and sold the picture.With Jeanette and the Parker family the pack was really getting divided . Lucas was to take over leadership from their father. Robert had an incident with the SPCA and got neutered and that took his ability to become the alpha of the pack as he couldn't produce a future heir to take his place when it was time. Robert mentioned EL TV had called to talk about a new show. When Ella went into the garage to get her picture hanging things Robert had been sleeping in wolf form and he bit her. It looked like a wolf but there were no wolves in Seattle. There were several holes in her leg that healed just as quickly before Ella’s eyes. Robert and the pack were werewolves and now Ella would become one. Lucas told Robert he better go to the woman and explain that she was now a werewolf so Robert went to tell her. Ella worked at LoveLifeStyle. Ella told Robert to prove he was a werewolf and he switched forms in front of her.. In six days during the full moon Ella will shift . Ella agreed to go out to dinner with Robert if he gave her an interview about his show as Robert never did interviews. After the show was canceled Robert was offered a couple acting jobs but turned them down as he didn’t feel he would be good at following a script. When Robert asked Ella why journalism Ella said it was rebellion, her mother wanted her to marry and have lots of babies even picked out her mate for Ella and Ella didn’t agree. Ella said maybe someday she would marry but no children she just wouldn’t be a good mom. Robert and the family have to be careful about what they say and do as no one can learn of them being werewolves. Ella’s mom disowned her when she was twenty that was all the true family Ella had. Sher had disowned Ella as she wouldn’t go for the arranged marriage. Robert wanted to sleep with Ella . Ella also wanted Robert. Robert asked Ella to go out again the next night and Ella accepted. But then she had to cancel as it was Leanne’s birthday. Men constantly came to the table once Leanne and Ella were out. Then two men started to fight over Ella and Ella got Leanne and they left. Lucas told him the way he was acting Ella was his mate. Lucas was mated with a human named Rosie and he was very happy with her and didn’t mind giving up his freedom. Lucas said it was worth it. Ella wasn’t Robert’s usual type : sophisticated, women more career driven, and taller women. But every fiber in Robert’s body ached to possess Ella. Robert realized Ella was his mate during sex and he needed Ella to be his forever.
I absolutely loved this story. It was a fun read. It was a fast paced read and kept my attention and it even made me laugh out loud, I loved Ella’s determination that she wasn’t going to turn at the full moon. I also really liked how out of nowhere all kinds of men are noticing Ella and wanting to be close to her. This just had a delightful plot. It was a quick read and a great read. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I highly recommend. ...more

It all started with a family portrait or what looked like a photo shopped picture of a group of wolves facing the camera on a moonlit night — depends on your perspective… or your species which you’d see it as. At the auction where Ella had won the whopping $8 bid it was an unusual picture of wolves and maybe the frame was worth the bid. To Robert it was a family portrait, with all their names on the back of the photo… and something he simply had to get back before a human read the names and started putting questions out there about his wealthy family.

Robert was determined to get that photo back so it seemed like a perfectly logical idea to shift to his wolf, sneak into Ella’s garage and wait til she left for work… only it didn’t quite work out that way. Since her security was good enough that he couldn’t get into the house he had no choice but to wait for her return, only he fell asleep. Awakened by a kick to the side, Robert instinctively snapped at the offender. Only… it was Ella stumbling into his wolf in the dark and he’d just bitten a human which means trouble, big trouble.

Sometimes finding your mate is nothing more than a lucky coincidence. Too bad that Ella didn’t immediately see it that way too. While trying to get the photo back he’d ended up giving the lady an interview, asked for a date and was quickly falling under her spell. He tried to toss it off as simply apologizing for what he’d done and explain that she was about to turn into a werewolf but he’d be there to help her through it. Poor Robert, things definitely aren’t going according to his plan – especially when Ella insists that she’s not about to turn into a werewolf, but she wouldn’t mind the date or the interview.

First Bite Is The Deepest is such a fun, charming romp. I dare anyone not to give out a few chuckles while reading Robert and Ella’s romance. At times a comedy of errors, at other moments an intense sensuous romance, this story hits that sweet spot where you get to laugh as well as swoon over a couple at odds with each other, even when they’d rather be otherwise occupied. I have to admit that just like Robert in some ways, I didn’t pick up subtle hints either. And in a way I’m glad I didn’t because the rest of the story was such fun with a different type of twist added.

We also get a chance to meet up with Lucas and his lovely mate once again. Anna is as funny as always and I’m quite glad to see that she will get her story told next.

If you’re in the mood for a funny, sexy laugh out loud romance, then have I got the book for you. I’d definitely recommend this one for any Paranormal Romance reader. It’s a fun romp that will keep you in chuckles. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.

I read this story through my Kindle Unlimited subscription. ...more

Who says, stubbornness isn't sexy?

Another delightful read by Nora Snowdon! Robert might be a neutered wolf thanks to a night of drinking too much and not able to be alpha of the pack but that doesn't stop him from making the best of things. Especially when it comes to the ladys. That is till he meets Ella. Ella is definitely attracted to Robert but they both have secrets. Robert is more a dog person and Ella tends t like cats more. These two stubborn individuals bump heads among other things. Hu ...more

This book was yet another adorable installment in the Dances with Werewolves series. If you enjoy your paranormal romance with a nice side of humor, this is definitely the series for you!

We join the same pack that we met in the last book, only this time they are confronted with a new issue. It turns out that one of their estranged pack members has let a pack photo of everyone in their animal forms (complete with names on the back) go to auction. Being a bit late to the auction, they find that so ...more

Robert and Lucas try to recover a family portrait but are too late, it's been purchased by Ella, and so our tale begins. Robert accidentally bites Ella but what happens next is completely unexpected. In all the drama a danger arrives that shakes everyone to their core and only some brave actions will save the day. ...more

Book 2 took me on a fast ride through Robert and Ella's surprising romance. And oh dear - a huge surprise that threw Robert into so much confusion he couldn't decide what to do next.

I loved this book and had to sit and read it all the way through. Of course the two of them would eventually overcome their startling differences and challenges - but I had to see how on earth their romance would finally have a happily ever after! I loved it.

And I'm now looking forward to future books, to read the ...more

After reading Nora Snowdon’s, Love at First Sniff, I had to read the second in the series, First Bite is the Deepest. The fireworks between Ella and sexy Robert Colbert had me turning the pages. These two are an unlikely pair. Not just because Ella’s a gossip columnist and Robert’s a sophisticated host of a ritzy decorating show. The main problem is she’s human and he’s a werewolf. Just when you think these two are working out their differences, Ella’s mysterious origins rise up to divide them a ...more

Totally not what I expected and yet a truly fun story. In the last book Just One Bite we met Robert Colbert former heir to the Colbert pack whose position was nullified when he got drunk, captured and neutered. Robert isn’t totally unhappy about the situation. Now his brother can have all the responsibility and he can continue his player like ways. What he never counted on was meeting Ella. Ella is Roberts total opposite and not easily swayed by his charm, money and good looks. Ride along with t ...more

Really loved this book. It's hard to review it without giving any spoilers and I don't want to give any. I enjoyed reading every word of it, witty Ella and super horny Robert, well you can figure out how that spun into a hot tale of an unusual love. Not your everyday, average romance. So if you're craving for something fresh, new, different, this book is made for you. I can see many who would snub romance novels, picking this one up and reading to the last word.

I absolutely loved this book. I read the first one, but this is so much better. Robert is kind of broken, same as Ella, and it's really beautiful to see how everything evolves, and the surprise for the full moon. It has some action, humour and romance. I finished it within hours. I want more now.

This is a fun and quirky series to read. It's refreshing and exciting to read a happy ending when diverse peoples are involved especially with the controversies in the news lately. I like the way love conquers most, if not all of their differences. Using fish & steak to emphasis these differences, and their eventual acceptance of them is genius and hilarious. ...more

While I didn’t find this story quite as good as the first edition in the series, it was still a fun tale. The meet-cute story of Ella and Robert is definitely unique, and the reason they start spending time together even more so. And it is fun to see more of this unique family as the story unfolds. But since you can see the sparks fly between Ella and Robert right from the get-go, it is no surprise that they end up together. There are some rather spicy scenes between them; but, again, it doesn't ...more
