Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Just looked in Smashwords, she has four books for free, two of those are first in series. Maybe this one will be free in the future.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Yes this one is the exact opposite of the other one. I've skimmed a few of the sex scenes!
POV changes from paragraph to paragraph, I can't say whose POV it is!

LMAO! You're right!

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Those jumping POVs are distracting, I was very surprised by the opening scene. Wasn't expecting that.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments And what's with all the cream? She creams, he creams, what are they, cows? I think she even squeals during an orgasm I immediately thought of pigs...

The writing in this one is not comparable to the other one. It feels like a different author!

S: no my father...
V: can I ?
s: OK


message 78: by Gisela, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Yes it was! And then they get interrupted...


message 79: by Gisela, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Question Chs. 1-15

1. Well this one started with a bang. (Sorry for the bad pun...) Where you as surprised as I was?

2- Sarina's father is an asshat. If the bloodlines are soooo important and her breeding cycle pushes to accept any available male then why the HECK hasn't he arranged for a mate? She wouldn't exactly say no.

3- Vane is a Peeping Tom. I found it creepy as heck that he masturbates outside her window. Did you?

4-Don't know what else to ask since nothing much happens. He finally gets inside her in possibly the worst sex scene I've read, and the they get interrupted.

5- Like LK says Good Gravy Beans! Her father interrupts them during sex and neither one covers up?!!!!! If they were shape shifters used to nudity then it would be believable. But they don't shift so what gives?

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments uestion Chs. 1-15

1. Well this one started with a bang. (Sorry for the bad pun...) Where you as surprised as I was?

I was! The other surprise was that it was a dream. For a few chapters I wasn't sure if it was a dream or not.

2- Sarina's father is an asshat. If the bloodlines are soooo important and her breeding cycle pushes to accept any available male then why the HECK hasn't he arranged for a mate? She wouldn't exactly say no.
Yes that seemed weird that he hadn't done it before!

3- Vane is a Peeping Tom. I found it creepy as heck that he masturbates outside her window. Did you?

It was super creepy! The other wierd thing was that she was watching a porn movie to get off! She was already turned on, why did she need that?!

4-Don't know what else to ask since nothing much happens. He finally gets inside her in possibly the worst sex scene I've read, and the they get interrupted.

Ughhhh.

5- Like LK says Good Gravy Beans! Her father interrupts them during sex and neither one covers up?!!!!! If they were shape shifters used to nudity then it would be believable. But they don't shift so what gives?

The whole time I was thinking "she is naked in front of all these men including her father "

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments questions for chapters16- end

6. I wish there was at least a reason for her father wanting to marry her off to the Prince. Did he need money? Power? Allies? It was just so silly . Specially with the reputation he had!

7.what did you think of their scape?

8. How and why did they fall in love? Pahh! What was with luma and lumara?

9. Sarina thought his peeping and getting off all over the cabin wall was the sexiest thing ever!!!!!

10. "Did father murder mom? "Where the he'll did that come from?

11. Overall? I gave it 2 stars .


message 82: by Gisela, Moderator (new) - rated it 4 stars

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments 6- I think it was mentioned before that Prince A-hole was the only male her age with the pedigree her father wanted. But why wait after 4 breeding cycles to marry her off? Why not use her cycle to make her accept him? That dad is one dumb villain, in fact he seems cartoonish.

7- What a dumb plan...

8-One week of not-quite-sex does not make a relationship. They didn't talk about themselves or do anything other than get naked. Who are they? Whate are their likes and dislikes? How did they lose their parents? Nope not buying their "Twue Wuv".

9- She's wrong in the head...

10- No clue, I don't think her mother had been mentioned before.

11- You're being generous, I give it one. I feel as if I've been served a beautifully decorated cupcake only to take a bit and discover that it's half-baked.

Gisela (chicadorlando) | 4022 comments Things not explained:

1- Their society
- what on earth is the Pride and why use a word associated with lions?
- what is their heirarchy? How does an alpha compare to the king if his mate is called a queen?
-Justicars, if they can arrest the king then why didn't Vane go to them when Sarina was taken?

2- Their nature-
- Do they shift? What exactly does lykaen mean?
- The mate bond/luma/lumara thin.

3- Their backgrounds
- Where did they grow up? Did they go to school?
- How did their parents die?
- Hobbies? What does Vane do for a living?

These are just things that come to mind now. I'm sure if I think on it I'll find more...

1. It needed world buidling !That's for sure . The queen ,king and alpha thing was confusing and didn't make sense.

3.We didn't know anything about either of them. The whole book was just a big sex scene. You know like the porn movies :D You see 2 actors having sex but you don't know anything about them !heehee
