This series is just starting out, and I still want more, more, more. I've never read a werewolf book or series quite like this. It held onto my attention from the minute I read the first words. Only putting it down because I had passed out from exhaustion(LOL). However I picked it back up immediately once I woke and took the day off from everything else just to kick back and read this book. Now that I have finished it, and loved it just as I had the first book, I am left wanting more, and even though the next book is being released this fall, I still think it's too long of a wait, I want more!

Omg, Melissa Ma'am, I'm in love with you and this series! That's all I can say, I'm too overwhelmed! On to the next one! ( )

WOW! Even better than the first one.

This series is right up my alley. I loved everything about the characters and the pacing. The main enticement for me was how the two main characters had such draw to each other. Every look was laced with fire. I just wanted to devour every moment the characters had together. Plot wise, the story is a light read, but that doesn't matter because everything else it smokin'! The plot does intensify at the end. The story is leading up to some exciting stuff in the next novel. I love how everything is being tied together. The little hints keep pulling me through the series eagerly.

Reader Rated for ages 14 for moderate sensuality, but no sex. It's pretty much steamy touches and looks. It's a hot read that stayed totally clean! ( )

I like this series - it's fluff, but just deep enough that the characters are distinct and vivid in my mind. Michelle has an odd power (like each woman in this series) - she gets a stock tip once a week, and _must_ tell someone. She's an orphan, with her stepfather as guardian - but he's come under the control of a man who (at the beginning of the book) she learns is a werewolf (or at least, she learns his teeth get big). She runs, with her small stepbrothers, trying to escape the power of the werewolf Blake. And then she's trapped, caught by Blake's agents - until a man comes out of nowhere, deals with them, and gets her and her brothers away. He offers safety, but Michelle has learned all too well that letting a man have power over her is a bad idea. And then she discovers he is also a werewolf... The somewhat sketchy world limned in Hope(less) gets filled out a bit more, the werewolves learn more about what the Forlorn really are, and Michelle and Emmitt build a solid relationship on some very shaky ground. One funny thing, for this read - I just finished a Heyer about two brothers, with the more serious one having a romance and his more flighty brother interfering. So watching Jim mess with Emmitt was extra amusing (though I don't think I'd have found him amusing in real life). Jim was also exactly what the boys needed. Watching the three of them begin to recover from the abuse they've suffered is excellent. Enjoyable, and I think rereadable. ( )
