Summary from Goodreads:
Following the page-turning debut, Beauty Dates the Beast, this is the second novel in the fresh and funny new series about a paranormal dating service.
Sarah Ward, the werewolf sister of Bathsheba from Beauty Dates the Beast, and co-owner of their paranormal online dating agency, Midnight Liaisons, is voluntarily traded to a wolf clan in exchange for a kidnapped female were-cougar. Fearful of what might happen to her while with the wolf clan, she and Ramsey, a were-bear whos part of the were-cougar alliance, pretend to be engaged so he can stay with her for protection. The last thing either of them expect is for their pretend engagement to lead to a very real love affair
**************
So no formal review, I just wanted to mention a few things:
1)this is a PNR, written in first person, heroine's perspective throughout.
2) I didn't read the first book but didn't have any trouble following along. However if you want to read book 1 in the ML series, then you may want to read it first, as this (IIRC) spoils the first book.
3) The Hero was awesome...so much so that i resent not getting his pov....this is one of those books that would have been so so so much better written with the third person narrative...the way its written, i feel like we only got bits and pieces of what could have been a really good story...And I really really want to get inside the H's head...seriously, A-W-E-S-O-M-E :)
4) the build up was pretty well done, esp how Ms Sims wrote the emotional turmoil the h had to deal with...However the ending was sort of a cop out...it felt a bit rushed and compact..like too much happened too quickly, and ended up not feeling believable....and now I feel sorta gypped.
5)That first line in the synopsis, the one calling this a funny series? Yeah, not so much. Yes it was light hearted, and a very easy to read book, but funny it wasn't.
So as okay as this was, I probably won't read another JS title...It wasn't bad, but it also never crossed into the territory of good.
between 2.5 and 3 stars.
