Review: Runako's story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 08 1, 2011
This is the third book in Lila Dubois's Monster in Hollywood romance series.  I read the first book,Lights, Camera...Monsters: Monsters in Hollywood, Book 1but skipped the second bookMy Fair Monster: Monsters in Hollywood, Book 2.  I don't think I missed anything important to the plot of this book by skipping the second book, though I'm not sure if book three could be a stand alone, without book one setting up the monsters and everything.Runako, the male lead in this book was the villain in the first book.  He is angry at humans because they tortured and killed his twin sister, and so he doesn't want the Monster movie to be made.  However, after losing a battle with Luke, Runako is forced to change into human form.  There is instant attraction between Runako and Margo, the producer for the Monster movie.  This book starts with Runako abducting Margo off of the street, and taking her to a "Captives Cave" in the Rockies.  At the start, Margo is very much Runako's prisoner, and he chains her to a rock alter in the cave.  Runako has a great sense of smell in his monster form, so he can tell that Margo is attracted to him, and enjoys what he does to her, even if her words tell a different story.  Runako definitely has issues, he is still very upset about the death of his twin sister, and human nature.  Margo has some body and control issues.  Runako and Margo work to help each other overcome these issues.This book has more action than the first book in the series.  I enjoy reading thrillers, so I loved the action scenes.  The reader may have to let go a bit of reality to find the action scenes believable, but you're already reading a book about monster/human love, so it shouldn't be hard to just let a little more go.  This book also introduces additional monsters, as well as showing more about monster life, since location is primarily by Runako's home in the Rockies.  Like the other books in the series, this also includes a lot of monster/human sex.Overall, I'm happy with the decision to purchase the third book in the series.
