Review: Funny read, but relationship development fell short

I really enjoyed Biting Nixie, also by Mary Hughes. Laugh out loud funny, it had appealing characters and a sexy romance. While sometimes silly, she managed to balance it with a quick moving, interesting storyline. Disappointingly, that was not the case with the follow up novel Biting Me Softly. This book did not hold my interest and after putting it down to read some other books, I had to force myself to go back and finish it. While it was frequently funny, it crossed over to being annoyingly silly at times--the 'good Liese' and 'bad Liese' voices for example. I also didn't buy the romance. There wasn't enough development of the relationship nor did I see why Logan would fall for Liese. There also wasn't a well developed storyline to offset the silliness and lackluster romance. All in all, it was not one of the better paranormal romances.If you want to try this author, I really did like Biting Nixie so give that one a try. If you are looking for humorous, light paranormal romances, check out Shelly Laurenston's Pride Stories, Lynsay Sands' Argeneau series, Erin McCarthy's Vegas Vampires, Kerrelyn Sparks' Love at Stake, and Katie MacAllister's Aisley Grey Guardian series.
