Review: Short but very sweet

I notice how this book has received some mixed reviews and several reviewers have been annoyed with the heroine of the book - Sherry - for "not being able to make up her mind". I actually think it was the strength of the book that she didn`t just throw herself into Stag`s arms the moment he declared she was his mate.Imagine what things look like from her perspective? She has had a sad upbringing and came from an abusive marriage and now she`s in the future and has been through deep pain from having broken her legs in a time of little pain killers. Then this guy comes along and tells her she`s his and she needs to eat more and do this and do that. Of course, she would hold back.I thought Maddy Barone wrote a very sweet and very credible lovestory between Sherry and Stag. Sherry had to learn how to trust someone and Stag had to learn how to hold back. It was a short story so we never got many details but the story we got made me smile. This wasn`t instant lust on SHerry`s behalf or Stag just acting out on his inner wolf having declared Sherry his mate. No, they got time to get to know each other and actually fall in love.On a side note I really loved the fact that the women we learning to defend themselves. They can`t rely on having a man to defend them forever. They need to be able to fight back with all the abductions of women in that futuristic society.I think this was a short but very sweet book. It could probably be read alone but I would recommend that you read the other books in the series first to understand Sherry and Stag as most of their story has already been told when this book begins.The other books in the series are:Sleeping With the Wolf: After the Crash, Book OneWolf's Glory: After the Crash, Book 2Wolf Tracker (After The Crash)PS: I`m fairly annoyed with Amazon, btw. For all the notices they send me about books I would never dream of buying - books I have no idea why they are recommending me - I was surprised to see that they never notified me about this book even though I`ve bought the other three through Amazon. It was only because I wanted to make sure Maddy Barone hadn`t added to the universe that I realized a new book had been published. Very annoying that one can`t subscribe to series. This has nothing to do with my review or how well I liked this book. I just had to get it off my chest.
