Loading ...Night Critters 2: Faux Paws by Lena Austin and Tuesday Richards
Austin and Richards have a winning combination in the bad angel and the werewolf who can’t shift. The sex is hot and the writing tight making for a short story that folks will gobble up.
We first meet Charm, the angel, at the bar Lucky, the non-shifting werewolf, works at. There’s immediately attraction and distraction when the town bully comes in for round two with Charm’s ladylike skills. This lands them all in jail.
Charm is a Nephylum. There is a little too much back story that the authors fail to disguise as Lucky musing on what kind of Nephylum Charm is. Frankly, I didn’t care that much. It dragged the story down for me. I would have been find with the hysterical description of “old fashioned Goth Revival.”
I did like how the writers detailed what a faux paw is. They let their characters tell that part of the story and they did it very well. Lucky and Charm are engaging characters to be sure.
Throw in an enemy who isn’t as slimy as everyone though and a project straight from Sunday night television, you will be rooting for Lucky and Charm (get it? Lucky Charms?) to win the battle. The house renovation segues neatly into the story adding that touch of heart all good romances need.
That touch lifts this out of the stroke categoy and into romance for this cranky Southern Belle. I think anyone looking for a book that will hand them the steamy erotic sexual encounters they want and lace it with real romance should get this book. Definitely 4 tombstones for Faux Paws.
