Kayley Scott

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book. The descriptions seemed accurate and the tension and suspense was great. But once the guys got together, it all became this "true mate" angst. I found Josh to be very emotional and crybaby, even though he is this awesome soldier. Not that a soldier can not show emotion, but at the beginning of the book he was remarking that another teammate was showing too much emotion because he was new, not like him.

So what does he do when he sees our werewolf? He cries and falls to his knees. Although to be fair, not sure that I would not do the same thing in his situation.

Also, the name of the bad creature we see? Dev. Really? Not even a full word? Maybe they described it and I missed it, but I am pretty sure the full name of this fearful creature was Dev. Not very scary.

And despite all of the great beginnings, the ending seemed very rushed. Not to mention, some of the descriptions were very flowery: "This beautiful man..." etc.

Looking at this review, you would think that I did not like it or would not recommend it. But I really did enjoy the book for the most part and give it three stars. I think many of the problems I mentioned could be resolved with more experience. Based on what I see in her profile here she has written only one book, so I look forward to watching this author grow.

Bad. Bad case of insta love, bad story line about werewolves in the US army (also my fault because this was mentioned in the blurb - I just hoped for some good twist here, like the X-Men or something like that) and all around cliched and the MCs were mere sketches. The strange thing is that the first few pages were gripping and really good. It is mysterious how this could go wrong so fast.
Maybe I will give Kayley Scott another chance again in the hope that the first few pages are glimpses of great things to come...but I will stay away from the "warwolves" - series (seriously???).… (meer)

From the blurb and the plot, a US Army soldier in Afghanistan who is rescued by a “very special unit” US officer only to fall both of them in the clutches of a monster, I would expected for this novel to be more drama and less comedy. And instead it has a “light” core that, even among the dark/gothic events, is impossible to not notice.

Sergeant Joshua Tanner is for sure in trouble, and when he is rescued by US Military’s Warwolves unit officer Tuck, only to find Tuck is a werewolf, he should be even in more trouble, but instead he starts to see how Tuck is not a nightmare, but on the opposite, his dream lover comes true. From that moment on, Joshua starts also to understand how he has to deal with his furry lover, how Tuck has basic instinct of protection Joshua cannot force away. Joshua is no weak man needing a protector, but he also understands that, letting Tuck believes he is the one in command, will grant him more power, not the viceversa.

As I said, there is more comedy than drama, and the two will even manage to experience a paradise like experience in the middle of nowhere. To Joshua, still abiding the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, having Tuck as a lover is a eyes opening experience; most of Tuck’s mate are gays (a genetic thing) and he doesn’t see anything wrong in loving a man. That is, what Tuck is searching is not simply sex, he wants a mate, someone to love forever and ever, and that is a completely new experience for Joshua, let aside that his lover is a werewolf…
