A fun little novella. It could have been a much longer book if some of the elements had been filled out. As it was, it seemed to have been distilled down to bare bones and only the essentials were told.

Parts of this were 3 stars and parts were 2 stars.

There was a huge menage section where she had to try out 12 different guys to choose one to be her mate and the alpha of the pack. This part was not all that hot as there were so many men that you really couldn't tell them apart and you just sort of wanted to get back to the relationship with the two guys you knew were really the front runners.

Then she did end up with 2 guys as mates. This was not expected or usual so that part of the story was pretty well done as the author did deal with the jealousies and difficulties the men had over trying to share her when that was not their tendencies at all. Her feelings when she thought she could only have one of them were fairly well done.

The werewolf mythos was okay. There was a fairly well developed plot although the forest god was used as a bit of deus ex machina. I did like the way they met.… (meer)
