The main character was so wishy washy then completely horrible I just couldn't finish. No rating.

There was not one “Carnal Secret” among them. There were plenty of secrets, but they were in no way “carnal”.

So, here’s the thing. I’ll read them all I’m sure, because I truly like the characters. But, they are SO similar, that it feels almost like the same book. The overall background plot is different in each, but the relationships and interactions (which, let’s face it, takes center stage in a PNR) are SO similar. The sex scenes in particular I’ve taken to skimming and just reading the dialogue.

I’m confused by the fascination with anal. So far I’ve read three, and they’re all obsessed with the butthole. Also, I find it interesting (and a little odd) that out of the three books I’ve read, all three women keep their Lady Garden bald as a newborn babe, and their guys completely dig it. What are the odds? Three couples, all bald, all liking the bald? Is this a thing? Maybe I’m too old...

In short:
Great characters
Not great editing, but not terrible
Decent overall background plot
Amusingly snarky in parts

BUT,

Agonizingly samey
Weird obsession with the butt and the bald

This writer works largely to formula and includes lots of explicit sex BUT the characters are sufficiently differentiated with enough fun quirks so they're work gobbling down if you're a fast reader. Fun. ( )

I enjoyed Nick and Shaya's story. Both are damaged wolves and both have to overcome emotional issues. Initially they take turns causing harm to each other but in the end they do have a happily ever after. This book does favor the romantic drama but there is drama of other sorts such as jealousy, wars, decipt, and injustice. Highly recommend this book and the series. ( )
