Nice little simple, sexy, fantasy story of two boys having fun. I like mating when it is done right... but it is usually done poorly. This wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. I wish the story gave more of a feel for their feelings and emotions for one another, rather than just giving a backstory of eternal love... but it wasn't instalove and they had some fun interplay. I liked Pitney being strong at the end, although perhaps it was a little out of character.I think the concept was interesting and seeing more of this universe could potentially be worthwhile.The sex scenes... sometimes I felt like there was too much bouncing back and forth between Pitney and Tristan/Tait/whatever his name is... the names got confusing, even though they aren't very similar. But they were mostly pretty good. This isn’t just a very cute story about two college students (one of whom happens to be a werewolf) finding each other, but also a very entertaining tale, written with a lot of humor. The two main characters may come from opposite sides of the track, but they are a perfect match. They've already crushed on each other since high school (unknowingly), but never quite managed to figure out they are meant for each other. Add a prejudiced pack to Tristan's background, with a father who couldn’t have been nastier to Tristan, and the stage is set.Pitney, the human guy, tells the story. The way he narrates the story made me laugh, and his observations and comments about his hopeless crush for badass Tristan were hilarious. And once he finds out the guy is a werewolf? He's totally cool. Why? Because it makes him more badass, and that is what Pitney is looking for.Tristan hasn’t had an easy life because he is considered abnormal by his pack. It’s not what you think (and, initially, I had the same thought), they have no issue with him being gay. The problem is that some of the snobbier members of the pack, Tristan's father included, believe he's an abomination since he only shifts partially. To Tristan's surprise Pitney is ready to defend him, never mind that he's outmatched.Luckily, the misunderstanding can be clarified, but I liked that the werewolves, hunted by humans who cannot accept their differences, made the same mistake as those humans. They rejected anything that is different. Hmm, wonder where I've seen that happen before? If you like werewolf stories about mates first discovering each other, if you enjoy reading books written with a sense of humor, yet carrying a serious message about acceptance, and if you're looking for an entertaining, hot story with a lot of growling and a supernatural touch, then you will probably enjoy this free short story.
Do You like book The Badass Of His Dreams (2013)?
Schizophrenic, uneven story,almost as if written by a team. Whole chunks of it start well and fade.
