Paperback Paranormal Shifter Romance – June 1, 2008
4 ½ Stars
This is a fabulous book for lovers of paranormal romances and for those readers seeking to try the paranormal genre for the first time! When He Was Bad contains 2 stories about alpha shape-shifters and warning…they are HOT! In both stories we revisit the worlds that Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden have created. (So those familiar with their older books will feel right at home.) These short stories are easily stand alone and extremely well written. In many cases stories in anthologies can be underdeveloped, I am happy to state this is not the case!
The first story by Shelly Laurenston is a story about romance of opposites attract. Niles Van Holtz is a playboy who simply loves women. Professor Irene Conridge can’t see what the big deal is about sex. The problem Van has after he meets Irene is why the cold professor is getting him so hot. The personalities of the main characters and their interactions make for fast and fun reading. I always marvel at Shelly Laurenston’s ability to weave humor and passion into an explosively, satisfying combination.
Cynthia Eden writes another great shifter romance. Her heroes are always: strong, sure and irresistibly attractive. Cain is a shifter who has just moved next door to a sexy neighbor, who he suddenly has to save from a blood-thirsty vampire. Miranda has just been attacked, but instead of being traumatized, all she can think of how much she wants Cain to kiss her! Both characters are wildly attracted to each other which lead to some pretty erotic scenes.
Both of these stories kept me up. They were easy reads that I highly recommend! Although it is an oversize book and more expensive than the mass market books, I think it is well worth the price.
