a shifter with no interest in she-wolves...he sure is territorial.

Review:
I
am not sure if the timing was bad on this, or there was something about this
particular one, but I really found this story was hard to get into. Normally I devour one of these in no time
flat and enjoy it, even if there are slow moments, but I can honestly say if I wasn’t
so dedicated a fan this one might have ended up in my DNF pile. I have followed this series since the very
first Heart of the Wolf novel over 20 stories ago, and while some of them have
been slow, usually don’t have issues, because I love Terry’s writing and her
characters are usually so interesting and her plots unique. Brock and Natalie were both okay characters
with some fun characteristics that made them likeable. Natalie is Angie’s best friend and is on her
way to the wedding when she gets a little lost, Brock luckily is able to step
in and give an assist. Maybe that’s
where the story lost me to begin with. I
can understand a little bit of ditz, but in this day and age there is no excuse
for a woman with a phone and GPS getting lost, so I found Natalie to be just a
little bit annoying and too much a damsel in distress to truly connect with her
I think. Brock was a sweet and sexy wolf
to the rescue, but there was no balance in their relationship, with him always
rescuing her and him being the big bad SEAL wolf. There was not enough depth to their relationship
formed. I wanted more I think. The details of the plot and crime, even with
Rock and Natalie working together to solve the criminal enterprise were kind of
boring in the depth of detail, but maybe that was just timing as I generally enjoy
learning about all kind of random details like this. The passion was a bit light until all of a
sudden they were ready to mate then it was hot as hell and the mating was
done. Everything was a bit odd and
disjointed to me and I just couldn’t connect with this one in the end. I am hoping the next one drag me in like
previous novels from the series have, again hoping maybe the timing of my life
just keep me from being able to enjoy it. Terry will continue to be one of my
go-to paranormal authors, but this one is a no for me for right now.
