Description: Sherry Rowe is reeling from 1) surviving a plane crash that sling-shotted her fifty years into the future, where after a nuclear disaster, there are very few women and a ton of Native American werewolves looking to mate; 2) the death of her philandering, abusive husband who was also on the plane, and 3) a werewolf named Jumping Stag, who won’t take no for answer.The Good: This is a great premise. I also love that Sherry is Catholic and really conflicted about her problematic marriage, even now that its over. Also, who doesn’t love a group of men who hold women in the highest regard. And I really like that Jumping Stag is a virgin — it made their sex scene hotter somehow.The Bad: Sadly this a case of a great premise completely squandered by terrible execution. SHERRY’S WOLF is poorly structured, feels rushed, and doesn’t have much in the way of compelling conflict. We’re told that Sherry is shy and scared but she comes off as accusatory, wishy-washy, and selfish, despite her sympathetic backstory. Most readers will wonder why Jumping Stag’s “wolf” chose her. Most writers will wonder why neither hero nor heroine was given a true arc before getting shoved into a rather abrupt ending.The Naughty: Sensual. Male Virgin.Editing issues: 4 typos found. Weird dialogue formatting on the Kindle.Publisher: IndieLength: 86 pagesFinal Grade: D+Happy Reading,Theodora from irbookreviews.com I really need to start paying attention when I pick up freebies. I get so caught up in the synopsis and deciding on whether or not it’s in a genre that I’m interested in that I forget to check the obvious. Like – this is actually a novella between the 3 and 4th books in a series and I haven’t read the previous books. Ugh! Well, the good news is that I got up to speed fairly quickly and I actually liked the story.This is actually a post-apocalyptic story with an interesting twist. You get that idea by the 3 numbered points in the synopsis no doubt. What the synopsis doesn’t touch on is the tenderness of this story. Sherry is not only suffering from the shock of her loss, but she’s also trying to come to terms with the fact that her life wasn’t so great before the accident. Stag was not only the text book alpha male, but he is living in time where females and children are things to be loved and cherished. He has no idea what he’s up against by his ‘wolf’ choosing Sherry as his mate.Even though I jumped into this series mid stream, it gave me just enough to peak my interest into looking into the rest of the books. I’m not sure if I’ll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed Sherry’s Wolf, but I’m definitely curious. ;)
