I have different ideas on books … there are some books that I will read and enjoy, but borrow from the library so that it can be returned. There are some books that I love and I will buy either in print or eBook format. This is definitely one that needs to be borrowed — good but not necessarily something that needs to be owned.
Emma Gavin is an author in New York City who writes best-selling romance novels with werewolf heroes. She writes so accurately that she has garnered the attention of the werewolf community who feels that she must be getting her information first hand. Some rogue is playing traitor to the pack and selling out. So Aidan, the top security officer and heir to the pack, has been placed on the job and been watching her for three months. What has been discovered that she leads a VERY quiet life, drinks too much coffee and dances alone in her apartment.
Emma is about ready to go on her book tour in the middle of winter when her plans change because of some loony emails she has received. Aidan swoops in to save the day in a very heroic manner (just like one of her fictional heroes) and that is when all he** breaks loose!
Emma is a very environmentally conscious individual who always takes public transportation and though she could afford first class plane tickets, chooses economy class because more people can fit into the same place, and has decent but not expensive jewelry and / or clothing.
Aidan, her wealthy research study, has an $800,000 watch, flies either first class or charters an airplane and lives in the penthouse.
They have little in common other than a sense of attraction and yet somehow they seem to care about each other and are ‘fated’ for the other. It was a pleasant book — but not one in which I feel that the relationship is based enough on realistic items … will they be together in 5 or 10 years? Maybe they can build on what they have now but it seems that though the next book in the series is the younger brother Roarke, the anthropologist … I will look it up for I like the concept; but it wouldn’t be a book that I buy.
