Review: Maybe even just 2 1/2 stars....Author losing inspiration?

With the exception of "Jo's Journey", I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with Smith's works, from "Choosing Riley" and onwards. I definitely like her penchant for alpha warrior males and talented women, so I'm cool with that being a constant, but something about her writing feels tired, possibly because she uses the same formula of a group of female earth friends/sisters always matching up to a group of alien brothers..  In "Hunter's Claim," which has an interesting premise and slightly different formula from her previous stories (aliens come to Earth rather than the other way around), there isn't enough world building to make this a fully satisfying read.I'll still always be on the lookout for Smith's next book, but will likely be looking more at the lower reviews rather than doing my usual automatic buy.  If you've never read S.E. Smith's works before, then don't judge her by "Hunter" and instead I recommend: the Kassis series, "Tink's Neverland" (although I don't recommend the rest of the Cosmos series as the oversexed 50-60 year old parents are just embarrassing), "Gracie's Touch", and pretty much anything from the Dragon Lord series with the exception of "Paul's Pursuit."
