You know how it is, you finally download the next installment of a series that you absolutely love.  Anxiously tearing through the pages because it has been FOREVER since the last book and you are anxious to get your latest fix and then.... Eh!  I know, I know, there are a lot of people that are going to say that this is a great book and it was fabulous and exactly what you were expecting.  If that is the case then you really do need to start expecting more from the books your reading.Yes, this book is a easy read that takes no time but the resolution comes along so fast that it makes your head spin.  Steve is a fabulously written character.  He's hot, which is always a major plus and he is funny and intelligent and well, the adjectives can go on and on.  Being Ben's best friend forever has taught him nothing about the werewolves and when he discovers them he panics.  Chela is the pack Omega and she suddenly finds her mate is a human who doesn't know anything about werewolves.  Great premise.  Loved it, a time for lots of angst and tension. You know a great emotional journey is about to happen. However, suddenly after one dinner Steve takes the plunge and then hot sex. (Well, that's not so bad, in fact, that part is rather steamy.)  Unless you know about Chela's history and what she has gone through you don't really identify with the character and when they finally get together it happens so fast you're thinking... WHAT?!?!?!?!?!I'm not saying this isn't a great read.  It's quick, easy and so funny that at times I really did laugh at loud at some of the antics.  However, there is so much more this book could have been.  I have loved this whole series and I love the tension and dimensions of the characters in previous books.  I just felt that quite a bit of that was missing for this book and I wished for so much more.  If you want a quick read with a happy ending this book is for you and you will enjoy the read.  But if like me you love the series, you will probably be a tad bit disappointed with this latest installment.  I'll be honest though, this will not stop me from pre-ordering the next installment of this series as soon as it comes out so take that for what it's worth.
