I love BBW-plus size romances. I love the reality in them.I quite enjoyed this book. It was short and not a lot of ground was covered but it was a good story. There wasn't a lot of back ground on the characters and you don't get to really get to know them in depth. but there is enough information that you are familiar with what is gong on. It would have been wonderful if it was longer.I was surprised that the confidence that was apparently obvious when Beth left the pack had been eroded while in college. Even though she knew she was smart and had left to obtain an education. It would have been nice to "see" through her memories the past and some of how she was treated to have caused this shift in personality. I find I hard to believe that dating was such an issue if she was attractive as Dale and the other Lupines found her. Beth was sorta limp and wishy-washy as a character with an alpha male like Dale. It was also unusual to be given choices of how to pick a mate - and then to find out that it was still just a ruse to get her with Dale... She was way to forgiving and unrealistic about the issue.I think the issue at hand was one of belonging - finding out who "she" really was. Her parents wanted to be as animals and she wasn't sure of her place within the pack. I thought it was odd that her friendship with Dale in the past was more than we were led to believe in the shower scene.I also felt the terminology used by the writers was unneeded. Words like "lassitude" - are they really used in daily communication?The addition of ogres and trolls left me kinda lacking. It would have beenMore believable if there had been sone wizardry involved. It just didn't fit and flow for me.There are quite a few twists and turns and some steamy intimacy which rolls up into an enjoyable yet quick read!
