Eden Cole books are very much a hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed 'Reluctant Mate'(only available at allromance.com at this time)so I thought the sequel would be just as good. I should have known better since this happens a lot to me after enjoying the first of several of her series.This could have been a really enjoyable read. In fact I really was enjoying it until about 3/4 of the way in the book. I think she realized she didn't have a high enough of a word count and decided that Mato suddenly had to have a secret to tell. Unfortunately this secret not only ruined the book for me but made him out to be a liar. SMALL SPOILER ALERT AHEAD.........At the very beginning he stated to Cameron that he had never been with a man before. Why bother having him say that when it was proven to be an absolute out and out lie when his secret was revealed? Then Cameron never even bothered calling him on that lie. The reason for their mating became a very much 'icky' factor for me as well when it was revealed whose blood was used to create the were virus that turned Cameron into one of them. Made me question and doubt their mating bond after that. Add to that the fact that Cameron couldn't ever complete the mating bond on his end and the entire story fell flat. Too bad. Next time forget the word count and leave lousy secrets like that out of the story line please.
