I love were stories. I do. Just not this one. Was in a hurry for a good book. Too much of a hurry. Saw all the reviews were 4 and 5. Liked the cover. Forgot to check the word count. Okay, I can deal with 72 pages for $2.99 if the story is solid and creative. This, sorry to say, was neither. Not even a little bit. The wolf, Troy,  was doing the insta-mate thing before he even met Charlie. He was grunting "mate" and sporting "a leaking, pulsing cock" before the gut walked through the door. All this from scenting HIS MATE from a scrap of drawing Charlie brought to the tattoo shop. If a book is 72 pages long and within the first five minutes one character is growling "Mate. Mine." and you know there's going to be sex scenes and within seconds of meeting BOTH are pulsing, leaking and straining against zippers ALREADY how much story can there be? The barest whisper, that's what. A hackneyed whisper at that.This is a pet peeve but it's one of those books where a character is repeatedly referred to as "the smaller man" or "the lithe man." Sorry, Ms Author but that's just plain lazy. Yeah, you can refer to your character like that once a book not over and over. And don't just keep telling me said lithe, small man has an angelic face. Describe it! Make me see it! Sigh. If I had the time I'd go back and count how many times cocks "pounded and pulsed" in those exact words. Rest assured. Over and over. And over.But why bother? We get it. And if I had a dime for every time the author used "mate" I could recoup the $2.99 I wasted on this book easy peasy. And there was one sex scene if that's what you're looking for. One boring, dull, bland sex scene.You want a really good m/m werewolf romance? Something different and deeply felt and touching?
