This was an OK read for me. I enjoyed the book when it was developing the relationship between the two men. The relationship is, to me, the most important part of the story. While the sex scenes were HOT, at some points, I actually skimmed them to get to the rest of the storyline.

I have mixed feelings about this book...I absolutely love the rest of the Cattle Valley series and really enjoyed reading about more of the characters in town and seeing them interact with my favorites from other books. However, I found myself a little jarred by the differences in writing styles between Ms Byrnes and Carol Lynne (the author of the rest of the series). This was also the first f/f book I have read and I discovered that it might not be the genre for me.
On the plus side, the characters are well-developed and their relationships are believable and touching. An ok book for me, but not a keeper.

The first book in the series started off very well. This book however, greatly disappoints. The sisters had such potential, and it all gets wasted in a lot of whining. Great idea, poor execution.

Andrew Grey is one of my favorite authors, and this is one of my favorite series by him (although, honestly, I've yet to find one of his I didn't at least enjoy)
This is actually the final book in the series and draws together all the strings and destinies that have twined throughout the other two books. Mr. Grey does a very good job of world-building and creating the mythology for his satyr's and his characters are very well "fleshed out" and stay true to their characters...which is something that I really appreciate. I never get pulled out of one of Mr. Grey's stories by something that just could not or should not be happening.
Overall, the final book in the series fullfills the promise of the other two and has been placed on my Kindle "keeper shelf" for future enjoyment.

I liked the original version of this story much better, Goddess by Mistake. This book was OK if you had never read the other and needed an intro to the series.

entertaining book about a werewolf clan trying to survive. Different spin on the genre. Hopefully one of a series as I'd love to see how the leader of the pack and his mate make out.

This book was actually a DNF for me. Not because of the writing, but because I had a great deal of difficulty accepting the premise of the book. I have read books with similar storylines and really enjoyed them, but for some reason I never really felt connected to the characters in this book or to the world that Ms. Venton created.

This book was OK, but fans of these authors might be disappointed at the short length of each story. Nothing to really write home about.

As previous reviewers have said, this book does have some annoying factors, the heroine is frequently (IMO)a little too naive acting to be credible. And the overuse of the pet names does make the reader wonder a little if the author used them so as not to get confused by using actual names.
All that said, the thing that I absolutely loved about this book is the relationship between the three guys. There is definite partnership and a feeling of togetherness that just gets to me. That reason alone was reason enough for this book to land on my keeper list and stay there until I got a digital copy to replace my print. Of course, it also happens to occur in one of my favorite locales...space.
While I have read better books by this author (Fierce Radiance and Acquainted with the Night), it is definitely not the worst I have read and is an enjoyable quick read.

While I don't mind BDSM in my stories, I do find some aspects of it a turn off. One of my biggest turn offs is humiliation. While I really wanted to like the story and did enjoy other aspects of the relationship between Sam and Mitch, that particular aspect of relationship kept jarring me out of the story.
However, I'm sure others without my particular difficulties with that aspect of the relationship will really enjoy this story. And like others, I do want to know more about Randy and what will happen with him in the future.

Soldiers are near and dear to my heart as I come from a military family and have many family members in all branches. So, I have always been interested in how soldiers and their families are portrayed in novels. Since discovering my love of "alternative relationships", this is actually the first book I read that successfully tied my two loves together.
I really like that the stories are interconnected and you get to see the development of the relationships from multiple viewpoints. And the authors shed light on some very serious problems faced by our military men (and women) and their loved ones.

I pulled Waterbound off my TBR and finally read it. While not the greatest book on the whole, I LOVED Feehan's characterization of the heroine (who has an autistic spectrum disorder). I work with adults with developmental disabilities, many of whom also have an ASD. Feehan was spot on in many of the mannerisms and routines, even though she took a little poetic license in some places--almost a must with the paranormal elements. That character affected me pretty deeply. And I just LOVED the way he accepted her "quirks." Everyone else around her was trying to make her fit into their world and work with their rules. He was the only one that said, what is OK for you--and then went with it. If she didn't want to eat something, he made her a peanut butter sandwich. If she doesn't want to use the "good china" he says, OK we'll use paper until we can get a regular set of dishes. When she starts to unravel, he wraps her weighted blanket around her, without thinking anything of it. So many of the things she thought made it impossible for her to have a relationship, were complete non-issues for him. I wish more people were this accepting of the needs of people with sensory processing difficulties and other autistic characteristics--or even just day to day quirks that everyone has.
