Just finished the second story in “Howl For It” called, ‘Wed
or Dead’ by Cynthia Eden, about a Hunter, who somehow falls in love with her
prey.
As I suspected, this story was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! “Howl For It” is really making me want to
reconsider my novella policy. As I stated before, I typically don’t read books
with more than one story in them, because I usually find them lacking in
details, and quality. I don’t like to feel rushed when I’m enjoying a good
story, but with this one, rather than feeling as though you are being shoved at
warp speed through the set-up, you are dropped dead center into the action,
with just enough back story to keep you interested, while simultaneously giving
you ample time to fall in love.
I liked the first story by Shelly Laurenston, which was
called ‘Like a wolf without a bone’, but I LOVED ‘Wed or Dead’ by Cynthia Eden.
This being my first story by Cynthia Eden, I wasn’t really
sure what to expect, but again, I am so,
so, SO glad I gave this book a chance, as it’s definitely going on the keeper
shelf.
In this story, we have the female lead, Kayla, a bad-ass;
take charge, paranormal butt-kicking human, whose fate led her to a small
chapel in Sin City, where she’s married male lead, wolf shifter, and all around
good-guy Gage.
Apart, they have their secrets, prey and predator, a kill or
be killed type of story that leaves you wondering, just how they managed to
fall in love to begin with. But together, they are a love so strong that even
family ties cannot keep them apart. They perfectly balance each other in ways;
I’ve yet to see in a similar setting.
I love Kayla’s ‘Oh hell-no’ attitude, as well as Gage’s
‘Touch her and die’ stance; to me, they are the perfect couple, matched in both
wits, and strength, though completely different in race.
I highly recommend this book, to anyone who likes fast,
action packed drama, with a little love, blood, and lust thrown in for good
measure. I’d consider this a paranormal romance, but true to my love of
detailed plots, I gotta say, I would love to see ‘Wed or Dead’ as a full length
novel, or even a sequel would be awesome!
Cynthia Eden has for sure made it on to my authors to watch
for list, so expect more reviews from her books in the future, as I intend to
hunt those down as well.
The review for the first novella in “Howl For It”, ‘Like a
Wolf With a Bone’ by Shelly Laurenston is currently available, so check that
out as well, and of course, for a synopsis, this book is published by
Kensington, so don’t forget to check out their site as well.
