...because apparently most werewolves are gay. Who knew? Certainly not me, but I wish I had before downloading this junk. There was only one story that I felt was really good, which is the only reason this is rated at two stars. The rest were really 1 or 1+ stories. Several rated negative numbers. And whomever decided the order of these offerings should be horse-whipped because the two most poorly-written shorts are the first in this so-called promotional book. And if this is the authors' "best foot forward", then heaven help the readers who subject themselves to their other pieces of work. As other reviewers mentioned, a number of these works were also "smutty"; not really erotic IMO, just tab A (and B,C, etc.) fitting into as many slots as possible as much as possible. So much so that I got bored with it and skimmed over the sex scenes. Some of the titles listed below are edited because I don't think I can use those words on Amazon.Pack Pals in Treeing... - Negative numbers. Poor grammar, poorly written and a bisexual dryad thing with pervy werewolves. No discernible plot, very smutty.Fangs of Desire - Straight sex, poor grammar, mediocre story.Shadow of the Wolf - Gay were creatures, some grammar issues, a bit smutty, mediocre story.Blood and Black Leather - Straight, barely paranormal, really used as an excuse for a BSDM piece. Grammatically correct.--- on the Wild Side - Gay, okay story, grammatically correct.Howl - Paranormal excuse for gay BSDM. Boring, no story.Shared by Vampires - MWM Paranormal excuse for a BSDM story.Paradise - This is the only one that I felt had any redeeming value as a coherent story, which made me rate this as a two instead of a grudging one star book. One glaring grammar error in the second sentence where the author has a "desolate plane" (remind me not to fly THAT airlines). Otherwise pretty good. Straight, normal sex.The Hunt - Straight sex, decent story and grammar with a touch of horror.Letting Go - Tied with best story in the collection. Well written, very good story and no grammar errors.Pack Initiation - Gay werewolf gang bang. Mediocre story.Riding the Snake - Mediocre gay discovery story.The Werewolf Whisperer - Gay werewolves with mild domination. One grammar issue. Okay story.Cry of the Wolf - Gay werewolves that scream about domination, but don't really do it. Mediocre story.
