Howl For It (Pride 0.5) by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden


Like A Wolf With A Bone by Shelly Laurenston

Quiet little Darla Lewis couldn't be happier when the most-feared member of the South's rowdiest pack kidnaps her. A girl gets real tired of being overprotected by her own shifter family, and there's nothing like an oh-so-big bad wolf to start a pack feud, unleash her instincts--and have her surrender however and whenever she wants. . .


Wed Or Dead by Cynthia Eden

Gage Ryder knew his human bride had a wild side. But spending their honeymoon night on the run from hunters out to finish him and his pack is sure not the kind of fun he was looking forward to. No problem--Gage will do whatever it takes to lay bare Kayla's secrets and find the truth. If he can keep from being captured by his own seductive game. . .

My Review:     (Thanks to NetGalley) 

Like a Wolf With a Bone: I like Shelly Laureston, she's one of my favourite authors. However this book fell short for me and not just because of the length. Plot wise it started out with it's usual pizzazz and then it kind of just petered out. Don't get me wrong, there was still 'action' but it felt a bit silly and over the top, the bad guys and the reason they were after Darla was just stupid and the side bit with the she-lions was unnecessary. I did like getting Eggie's backstory and I would have liked to see more of him rather than Darla. 

Wed or Dead: Short pointless story. Kill or be killed because you're blindly following your boss/leader. Kyla honestly came across as TSTL. The whole relationship felt off to me and apart from exposing the bad guy (badly - just smack him with silver at the first stand-off!) and killing people/trying to stop people getting killed there wasn't any plot.
