Review: Read it for the dirty talk, if nothing else

I’m giving a full 5 stars for Dawson’s dirty talk and sexual skills.GOOD. GAWD.As for the rest of the novel I don’t really care. But I'll discuss it nonetheless.Our MC Adam is far from perfect. He’s impatient, overly sensitive and defensive. He resents his brothers and has a difficult past. He’s riddled with faults and that makes him the most real main character in this series. I love Lucas & Tim (the heroes from the first 2 books), but they are typical romance heroes – practically perfect. I can relate to Adam and his character growth. Of course, all that growth takes place over a couple of months, which isn’t exactly realistic, but OH WELL. It’s a romance novel and in romance novels no one ever has to read a self-help book.Speaking of romance novels….The MCs wouldn’t be so confused about why the werewolves are rubbing off on them all the time if they just. Read. A. Paranormal romance! How hard is this, people? If you’re going to Iraq pack some socks, underwear, an extra uniform or three AND a crate of Stormy Glenn. Cause seriously? Chances are some werewolf is going to yell “MINE” and start chewing on your neck as he dry humps you. So make like the Boy Scout you probably were and ALWAYS BE PREPARED.There’s been some talk on the boards (don’t I sound all cool & internety?) about which character/couple will feature in book #4. I think it’s probably Terrell Hubbard. But whoever it is, I would love, LOVE, if it could be from the perspective of a werewolf instead of another clueless human. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series and I will happily plunk down my EIGHT DOLLARS AND NINETY-NINE CENTS PLUS TAX for the next book. But Kendall McKenna has done such a great job creating a new take on werewolves that I would love to see their world through the eyes of a werewolf. Maybe see the wolves thinking process as they hesitate over telling their “mates” ANYTHING other than werewolf history. (Jebus. OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND COMMUNICATE, BOYS. Sorry, sorry, just had to get that off my chest.) Actually, I wouldn’t mind hearing more werewolf history, it’s absolutely fascinating what Kendall’s come up with, but I’d like to hear them as stories and not vague explanations as to why the werewolf dude wants to stick his penis down the human dude’s throat. That would be nice. Thank you.But who cares! Let’s get back to Mr. Lavender eyes, aka Dawson Rivers:'You like to [have sex], huh? You like when I [have sex with you], don’t you? Just look at you. You’re so [super] hot. I get so [super] turned on, watching you enjoy this. Watching you with my [penis] inside you."I do, I really, really do!
