Thank you Secret Santa

I enjoyed this one, it was a great follow up to Wick.
We get to see the children of the guys in the first book all grown up.

I felt for Massy and his confusion at the start. Everyone knew what was going on except him, and all the half speak was annoying him and myself to be honest. All it needed was someone to actually start an honest conversation. Once everything was out in the open Massy was a lot happier.

Being Creawick’s son it was hilarious that everyone underestimated him and what he could do. Even his own partners didn’t understand or appreciate just what he was capable of.

I feel like Kalwick was kind of left behind. Massy and Amawick were both powerful wicks where he was reduced to being just the muscle. Yes he was a prince but that was all.

I loved Amawick. To see how powerful, happy and content she had grown up to be was wonderful.

Good addition to the wick series 
these two guys needed to actually talk to each other. 
I understood why Starwick felt like he was the pariah, his job meant he was on his own and he felt like he didn't deserve anyone to love him. He never saw that people actually liked and admired him.
Tyrwick was a harder character to like as he didn't communicate well. I'm still to sure I know him very well at all.

This book consists of 4 interconnecting stories.
The first one was the slowest and hardest but it had to set the world and the subsequent stories furthered the world building and friendship group.

Hollowick and Fen's story actually annoyed me a bit. I understood he was hurting and took off but I couldn't believe Hollowick would leave his sister there when they were both accused of lying to the king.

My favourite was Lyra and Wenwicks story. My heart went out to Lyra and what he went through as a child. The way he protected Amanda was lovely.

I loved Toki and his dragon. when he was in the wrong he took it on board. Roswick was a great partner for him. When they both got out of their heads and understood the other was interested they were a great pair.

Creawick was an interesting character. Even seeing him through Elawick's eyes and knowing his back story he still came across rude and abrasive. I did enjoy the glimpses of real Creawick when he made an appearance.

Thanks Secret Santa

An enjoyable afternoon's read. It had moments that drove me nuts but overall I enjoyed it.

I started not really liking Quinn that much but in the end I actually felt sorry for him. He was doing everything he could to make Bellamy his and Bellamy was fighting him every step of the way.  I understood why Bellamy was the way he was, it was the way he dealt with what he had been given.

I'd like to know what happened to Quinns ex as he deserved to be taken down a number of pegs. 

I loved Tanner and really want to read his book. Fitz I liked but he is going to have to do a lot to make it up to Tanner

I did like this one but felt that it suffered for the length of it. I still feel as though I have missed a connection with another story or stories somewhere as a lot of things are mentioned and happened off page but here are just brushed over or mentioned in passing.

I liked the addition of Prince Tevra and the connection between the three guys. I am still confused as to why Prince Tevra's father was so ruthless in his attempts to start war, what started it and what exactly happened at the end. 

Najlah is very entertaining to me, the way his thought processes are amuses me. HIs interactions with both Barkus and Terra as they all get to know each other is well done. The family aspect was also very well done here.

I enjoyed this one. It’s a short story but it was entertaining

I loved the family set up here, both with the dragons and the wolves.

Najlah and Ajith had left their country for another where they were considered demons, yet they had made a home there. They had a new pack of shifters they worked with and considered family. I kind of felt like I had missed a bit with Ajith and Korla as their story was referred to as if we would know it already. 

I liked how the communication issue was dealt with. I could see issues but this way the lines were open and it was fun watching the pack get to know Najlah. Najlah was a fun character, he had his ways and judged everyone else by them. I also enjoyed that he was so oblivious to how the people of the palace through about him. He and Barkus were well matched. 

Looking forward to see how things progress with Prince Tevra.

Audio Review                                                                               

I enjoyed this one as a kindle book, but I found I enjoyed it more on audio. Iggy Toma did a fabulous job of the character voices especially alternating with Chenco and Charmella. He gave each character their own personality that really shown through.

I liked the strength and then vulnerability in Steve. He gave Chenco the strength to fly and when he stumbled Chenco showed his papi he could be strong for him right back. 

Chenco had the best character growth throughout this one. From his introduction into the BDSM world to the strong induvial at the end who could and would stand for his man. The introduction to the BDSM world was done very well. He didn’t anticipate that he would enjoy the sadist parts that Steve needed and Steve was good at talking to him and introducing him slowly to the parts. He really flew at the end. I also liked that he didn’t understand that the partnership was both ways but when unsure talked it through with Ethan and Randy and when the time came he stepped up naturally.

Good addition to the series

Thanks Santa's Kinky Mistress

I had things to say about this one, but after finishing I read the authors note and have changed what I wanted to say. As a person who has never been raped I don't know how people would or should react, so if the person was happy to move on straight away, ok then and I do understand about choosing their next partner.

I did skip the second book and I am wondering if I missed part as in this one, there are things that happen that seem to be brushed over very quickly and I wonder if it was mentioned in the previous one,

I liked Asher and his drive to move forward and have a place in the relationship. The other two bears were also well done. both were protective and had Ashers best interest at heart

To be honest I think I am going to give this series a miss for a bit, while there are blurbs going forward that really interest me, I'm struggling with the fact that the two dominant bears in each of the relationships don't touch each other. I understand it in MFM books where the guys are not bisexual, but in these ones the guys are gay and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that they only touch the human/omega.

Thanks Stargazer Frozenwhistle

This one was better than the previous one and answered a few of my questions/reservations from the first one.

The guys still have a lot of work to do and they are slowly learning about each other. I'm still disappointed the two bears are not more together even if their past has been raised they are still denying it happened, being part of bear culture that they don't only with the human mate dies help but I'd like them to be together more too.

I felt for Carson and liked that he did stick up for himself, although at the same time while I understood his frustrations and anger I was angry at him for putting everyone else at risk without caring about the consequences. He had every right to his anger but no right to put the other human fathers at risk

Good to see the guys talking it out, although I did feel for Royce as I feel like he was taking all the blame at times, Jared did put things right but you could feel Royces confusion as to why he was always wrong.

This one is what it is.  quick book so it couldn't take a lot of time to work the storyline but it needed more.

I kind of expected something a little different when I picked it up. The two bears don't have a relationship other than friendship between them and at times it strained already. They constantly work against each other, trying to one up the other one. I expected them to be together in a way but they just aren't. Add in Carson and he really is the meat in the sandwich.

Both guys go out of their way to make sure he is good with where they are but at the same time they steam roll him too. He says he needs space and they complain or don't give it to him. They push and push until he does what they want. 

I didn't buy the whole GFY here. Carson had never been interested in guys believed himself straight and them bam in 12 hours is with both guys and now a sub who likes a bit of pain. Too much too fast there. I will let a lot slide, it's a bear shifter book so reality is already out the door but this just didn't sit with me at all.
