Review: Love the Fox series!

The whole author gender thing is irrelevant to whether the books are a good read so I think some of the reviews are just silly.  You should be reviewing the book, not the author!I love the characters especially Michaela.  I also love the world building.  The wolf pack dynamics and relationships feel realistic to me, especially the way they interact when in furry form: the chuffs, huffs, shoulder rubs and licks feel "dog" to me and help put me into the were mindset.Of all Roseau's novels Lara and Michaela have the most positive Dominant / Submissive relationship.  Lara often tells Michaela she loves her, that she's beautiful and sexy and that she's loved and appreciated.  I like that Lara is flawed.  She loves Micheala's spirit and courage but wants to protect her so much that she frequently is smothering her with protectiveness, not respectful of her opinions and blindsides her by not treating her like a full partner.  She's also kind of clueless about Michaela's fragility regarding the numerous trauma's she's had in her life.  But I think that a healthy strong woman like Lara who grew up loved and protected probably would have difficulty understanding the very different life Michaela led.  The foxverse books are also the only set of Roseau's novels with pretty good erotic scenes (most of the others have kinky situations but tend to do an unsatisfying fade to black when there's actual sex.  This is the opposite, not much kink or fetish but a good bit of well described sex).  I deducted one star because the books suffer from the lack of an editor.  Frequently large chunks of a book goes by describing character interaction with little to no plot before finally settling down to the main action.  I mean the kidnappings, threats to Michaela or the pack, fights , etc.  It could be argued that the growth of her relationships is the main point and the action scenes a side bar.  But I'm an action junkie and to me that's best part of a book.
