Shannon West - Logan's Choice (Dark Hollow Wolf Pack #3) {Reviewed by Kevin @ Hearts On Fire Reviews}I would have to say the rating on this review would be much lower if not for a few favorite characters and an interesting storyline.  First off, Nicky is amazing and so damn cute. In this book I love Logan and the way he fought for what he believed was right no matter what everyone thought. I had high hope for Ian and his appearance in book two, but like a lot of things in this series he fell short of expectations. Don't get me wrong, he was smoking hot and had a nice heart but he wasn't everything he could have been.  I believe the weakness in this series for me is misinterpretation of the domination/submission role in a relationship, the over exaggerated sex scenes and last but not least the feeling of almost pedophilia in the treatment and action of their dominate counterpart, with loss of free speech, free thought, requiring hairlessness, forbidden to wear shirts, etc.I have read many shifter book and have loved the idea of the mating knot, but in this book, it almost seems like rape, if not then dubious consent at best. I found it difficult to read their first sexual encounter , when the supposedly loved mate is in desperate pain, crying and begging the alpha to stop, yet he ignores this and still continue with the sex, stating they just could not stop. Why not? After mating the relationship turns to the mate being treated like a child as stated above.All that being said, I will say had it not been for Nicky and his mischievous nature to drive his alpha crazy, I would have rated this book lower, but he saved some of it for me.
