I'm a fan of Ms. Bliss, so this story comes as a surprise. At best a 2.5 star for me. Lilly comes across as a leg spreading slut. Since this is just .5 in the series, it doesn't present the best introduction to Lilly. For those who have a trigger on cheating, this is not the book for you.

The sex is rough and animal like. Would be nice if it was in animal form, but that's taboo.

Wow. This book was something. At first, I wasn't sure I could ever see myself liking the hero of the story Dax. He was a lot to take it. A definite troubled soul. As the story progressed, I found myself smiling about his caveman ways. He took alpha male to a whole new level, but he was bound and determined to win Clara.

 

There is a lot of depth to this story. It wasn't just another "girl resist boy until she can't resist him any longer" kinda story. There is some serious baggage between both Clara and Dax that is connected from their child hood. Ms. Bliss threw a curveball at the end I was surprised I didn't pick up on.

 

I really enjoyed this story, and was thrilled to learn she will be writing more characters from that we met in this story. A big thumbs up to the author, I think she did a great job with this one.

 

I was able to read both versions of Bad Romance before and after the edit issue and I'm still unsure of how to rate or review the book. There were a few good moments and quite a few really bad moments and my opinion on that remains with both versions. I can understand where the author was trying to go with the story although I wish she'd given us more background it didn't quite feel as if their relationship past or present was worth pursuing even for the(lack of a better word) vengeance type intimacy. I didn't get the purpose for all the dysfunction for any of the characters but I do think there is a potential for something here but not with the way it was left even with the new edit. I do like the author and her work and I know she has the talent to create a great story and I will continue to follow her work in the future.

When I sat down with this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I love Bonnie Bliss, but Bonnie Bliss is the pen name for a husband and wife writing together. R. Kirk is the husband and this was his first book that he wrote on his own. Right away, I knew I had to read it because it would give me an idea how each of the authors think.

 

This book is dark. There are several point of views to keep up with, and I honestly never knew who I was rooting for. You see, there are several clans of werewolves in this one area. Apparently one clan isn't as pure...without giving away too much. Only these wolves aren't like the ones you read about in romance stories. They eat each other. Ick. And there is no talking or reasoning...it's each for themselves, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

 

We get to see both sides of the story, and even at the end of this book, I wasn't sure who I wanted to win. I felt bad for both sides, as well as disliked people from each side.

 

I found this book to be well written. I enjoyed R. Kirk's writing style. He definitely knows how to create a dark tale that left me thinking. I look forward to seeing where he takes this series. 

I loved book 1 in the series, but I really loved book 2. It was such a whirlwind. Elizabeth has two men in this one, and I could never tell who I was rooting for her to wind up with - Jared or Asmodeus. 

Jared is the sweet, protective guy, while Asmodeus is well, Asmodeus - the hot sexy and dangerous guy.

I found myself unable to put the story down and had to find out what happens. I think the heroine Elizabeth was just as confused as I was about her feelings. The book ends with a cliffhanger and a big one at that. I was left staring at the screen for a few minutes, needing to know what was going to happen next.

 

Bonnie Bliss did a wonderful job. The writing flowed well, the descriptions were excellent, and the sex was hot! I am so ready for book 3!
