This werewolf/fantasy M/M short story does not start too badly.Anthony is whining a little too much and his supposed best friend has the sensitivity of a truck, but this was a freebie and nobody is really expecting more than light-hearted fun when reading this genre (even if I would love to find better quality from time to time).Unfortunately Ms Kell has a very curious notion of characters' interaction and even more curious notions about gay men's behaviour.The usual nonsense of insta-mating for life is delivered very clumsily indeed but she also chooses to add to the story Dom/Sub elements so extreme they get grotesque.Or painfully comic.Or simply painful.To make things worse (or is it better?) the story's length forces her to cram everything into far too few paragraphs so that the story actually reads like a bad draft.Writing being no more than barely professional, sometimes not even that thanks to grammar mistakes and clumsy turns of phrase, I think this will be my first and last book by this author, freebie or not.
