Book 4Mated to a Cajun Werewolf.Stormy Weather"a 5-in-1 anthology" - books 1-5 in the one place, at the one price!Plot:He thought she had died. 200 years later and she was back, but she was different. Can they find a way back to what they had before one of them dies, this time forever?Comments:- Contemporary paranormal (werewolves, vampires) erotic romance.- 2322 kindle locations, 36,000 words. Finishes around location 2205.- m/f - not overly explicit or frequent but generous and loving. More spicy than erotic.- Includes an excerpt from "Mated to a Cajun Werewolf".- Disappointingly, my e-version has far too many proofreading issues, from spelling mistakes to bad grammar. *sigh* Enough to annoy.- While this is Book 3 of the series, it doesn't really need the first couple of books to make sense. Blake gives us the same characters and same World but a new story arc, making it a reasonable starting point if you are looking for story rather than sex.Opinion:The first two books of the series are very much smut - lots of hot'n'heavy explicit sex with a slight overlay of paranormal. Not much story, nor character development. But lots of sex.With Book 3, Blake takes a very different tack. Now we have a longer book, heavy on the paranormal, strong story, and just enough sex to keep it in the genre. And we have the start of a multi-book story arc involving Mother Marie. It's really good, but very different to the first two. I liked it. Definitely worth a look, and the start of an interesting 3 book story arc.4.5 stars rounded down because the proofreading issues really started to get to me.Similar books:Bite Me!: Savage Loveby Crissy Smith. An m/f novella with strong paranormal and story.Heart of the Wolfby Terry Spear. Book 1 of Spear's "Werewolf Shifters" series. m/f, integral paranormal, lengthy story, strong plot, spicy sex.Wild Huntsby Rhea Regale. Book 3 of "Blood Moon Legacy". Kasa is a kicka** werewolf who knows what she wants and goes after it. Lengthy, dominant sex including m/f/m.-CR
