A fun read. Debating as to whether or not want to read the prequel or sequel. As always, love to read about strong women who know what they want and go for it and strong, supportive men who are also a bit vulnerable. Enjoyed this one.

Good read but stay away if you 'doona ken' dialect... The plot in the first book [A Certain Wolfish Charm] was driven by the fact the hero [Simon, our hero's oldest brother] was a werewolf. In this one, Ben has lost the ability to change and has gone to Scotland looking for a someone who might be able to heal him. What he finds is the daughter of the healer he sought, and the coven of witches she belongs to.
The book is charming and funny - the characters are people you would like to know. The plot is not hugely intense but unfolds at a steady pace. Could you read this as a stand alone? Yes. There's not a whole lot of overlap - most of the story takes place at the same time as book 1. At the end of book 1, the middle brother heads to Scotland to find out what's going on with his brother and he arrives about two-thirds of the way through. As always, I do recommend reading them in order...

This one was a lot better than the first in the series (A Certain Wolfish Charm). I liked Elspeth's independence. I especially liked that Ben and Elspeth actually talk after they get mad at each other like adults. Nothing dramatic happens like the first one but this one was done well. It is predictable but quite sweet as well.
Good, easy read.

I liked Tall, Dark and Wolfish much better then the first book in Ms Dare's series, A certain Wolfish Charm (ACWC). The world building is still on the scant side, but the overall story was a lot more enjoyable. The h knows about the H's secret early on, which for me at least, made the story that much better, since she's not spending the book worry about his big dark secret. I also liked the main characters better, in particular the H who is not nearly as dour as the H from ACWC. On the down side, the Hero of the next book is called a rogue in this book, but I consider him more of a slut then anything else. Also the para aspect of the book is really light...Yes, they're shape shifters but that's almost an addendum, rather than a major part of the story. So a pretty good read for HR fans, and an okay read for PNR fans.
