Review: Just not enough there

I was really wanting a hot Canadian wolf, and, while this guy is sexy to a degree, I don't feel a lot going on here. This guy and this story could have been hot and meaty, but it wasn't. I know most shifter books can be quick with the I found my mate, now let's get busy thing, but this story, already being fairly short, took the wham bam to another level. The relationship development between h/H was brief, to say the least.This story is almost like an outline of a book but with maybe a bit more filled in here or there but never enough filling in, as if the author forgot to paint the rest of the picture. The characters and setting have potential, but I feel as if the story is under-developed. With just a bit more story, there could have been something good here. The idea was there, but it was too rushed to be anything other than quick, somewhat bland sex and a half-hearted love story.Also, to have a jealous ex and a disapproving father added into the story but not fully used in the plot is really a let down and a waste, especially the father character. Talk about a throw-away character. I really don't know why the author even bothered with having him in the story, for all the purpose he served. And that made reading this story frustrating, these loose ends and could have beens. You can't help but see what could have been done with a few more chapters and more thoughtful story execution.This is already a short story with a lot missing from it, so what does that leave you with? Not a lot. I don't recommend it.
