Synopsis
When
Alexandria’s car goes off the road in a terrible blizzard, she has no idea
night will bring a powerful rescuer and the start of an ecstatic sexual
awakening. The moment Xandi wakes in Stefan’s muscular arms, feels the heat of
his body pressing against hers, she feels no fear. Instead, she allows herself
to be taken by one who is more than a man, whose primal nature is never far from
him. as their connection grows, and as Xandi gradually loses her sensual
inhibitions, experience pleasure she never dreamed possible, she is drawn
deeper into Stephan’s mysterious world, meeting the alluring beauty Keisha, as
well as the dominant and sometimes ruthlessly commanding Anton, who can have
any man or woman he wants... in any way he wishes....
Thoughts
DAY
1; if you don’t know me, or my reading style you probably wouldn’t really
understand but I don’t take days to read a book. I can’t, generally when I put
one down for... any reason
and my mind doesn’t crave the rest of it instantly I generally won’t finish it.
Not
with this, and mostly –I think—because there isn’t anything in it to crave.
I
like real deep emotions in my characters, what I read. I like to know them,
like to feel what they’re feeling, even when it’s about stuff I couldn’t even
begin to understand emotionally (like things that have never happened to me. I
can only emphases with them, not fully understand). It’s what I like in my
romances.
This
isn’t to say that I don’t—I can’t—enjoy a good fuck book, but it’s the reason
it’s taken me so long to read it.
I
just don’t care. To me this book is only the equivalent of porn you pick up because
you need something hot in your mind to make manual work more enjoyable.
Which
it does beautiful (though I have some issue with the whole human on beast thing
and being that the emotion level—the character level isn’t deep it’s hard to
really get your head from thinking that. I think with a deeper emotional feel
to the book would have eliminated).
So
it’s about four people though I’ve only made it through 2 parts. This is not
saying I’ll only meet 2 so far, I’ve only read two parts.
You
see the whole thing is split into parts, by the name of one of the characters
and even though I can understand t I just don’t understand why. But then I think this comes to the point
above so we’ll just skip over it.
It
starts with a woman lost in snow who finds a herself falling for a beast who
ends up bring her to a man who helps them understand the family they can create
who...[this part still to come—only read half a book]
And
honestly I could have done without the paranormal crap. Yeah the beast part—the
paranormal element was and is what makes it, ha, I was going to say different but
these days—no. It’s the same. The beast is what makes them overly horny, what
makes them want to fuck. like humans
can’t get so caught up in sex that they forget the world, forget everything but
the lust, the sex...the flesh upon flesh...oh, what a glorious weeken—ahh...sorry
got carried away.
Still
it’s like this could only happen if you’ve got an inner beast, yeah, uh-huh.
Anyway,
again this is the point I’ve made before. You just don’t care.
Though
don’t get me wrong the books a good read. The scenes are hot and 90% of them
have nothing that makes you question (there’s one with a goby. It’s just...she
touched more than she should have been able to just an open zipper (button
still done up)) so far. Just don’t go into it thinking there’s more than there
is.
It’s
sex. You should only read it for the sex. Going in it wanting more and you’ll
be highly disappointed. Lucky for me I didn’t and I have enjoyed it a lot—at least
so far.
DAY
2; I was wrong, there are actually five parts to this book, each name has a
part along with the final one, named ‘The Gift’ which works in so many ways,
and actually made much more sense as this end have come into play.
It
was a more emotional driven part with the female (Keisha) having been threw a
horrible physical assaulted and it’s all about bring her back to what she once
was. Though in the end it was actually Stefen who freed her.
I
found it a little odd though (okay, so you know, I’m gonna start talking about
the sex now, so...) there was so much sex in the first half of the book, lots
of m/m and three-way, just plan sex between Xandi and both boys (separately)
but when we got to this last time, yeah, I got why there wasn’t as much, she
was struggling and it was all about her, but there were still, a little m/m and
threesome, even a girl on girl but at the end of it all, there was never a
foursome, and I don’t understand why. Was it because that was to boring sex? Since
foursomes are more about partner changing then all in, but still....? it wasn’t
that big a deal, just something I ended up pondering after I read the book, it
was odd, the graphic’s the amount of sex and yet...
Still,
it wasn’t the best book that I have ever read, like I’ve mentioned I like full
emotional books, which this one didn’t give you. Even when she was going through
all she was, it still didn’t....I don’t know, make you truly feel anything. But
then again, it was about the after effect when she was about to get her life
together.
Saying
this, I’m pretty sure that was like a week or so after her body fully healed,
and is that really enough time...nah, but it made sense and it worked out and
the book ended with something sweet and loving, and....just right.
