I jumped into this book without having read the first one in the series and that turned out just fine. This books definitely stands on its own two (four? :-D) feet.I`m normally not too thrilled about the concept of some guy finding his mate by sniffing at her and then doing anything to get her. I mean, what if they don`t fit at all? What if she doesn`t like him?But it was handled very nicely here. The heroine got to make her own choices and she definitely had a backbone too. There were some underlying "I`ll kill any guy who looks at you" that I didn`t like too much but apart from that it worked out to my satisfaction. The author made the heroine into a believable person and I also liked the fact that she was plus sized but not constantly moaning about how terrible that was. She seemed to enjoy her body.I also found it refreshing that the hero was a virgin and didn`t magically know all the buttons to press (he was a fast learner, though :-D). The sex was written very well and also very credibly.But what I really enjoyed with this book was the whole universe. These people - all of them women, it seems - walk onto an airplane today and land in a post-acopalytic future where women are sparce and where some men have found their inner wolf. It was very well done.I also liked the variety of women in this book, though the animosity towards the old school mate who was now a porn star, was a bit too much. It`s not nice gloating over the high school prom queen having taken a nose dive even if she wasn`t nice back then. At least not gloating to that degree.I`m looking forward to the next book in this series and can recommend this one. I hope each of the women are getting their own books. Well, maybe not the aforementioned prom queen/porn star :-)
