Wolf Tales - The Series,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wolf Tales (Paperback)
Having come across PartV through a sale, I decided to buy the earlier books in the series also and have literally become hooked on them. While the stories are quite erotic and explicit and definitely not for the young or inhibited people, the stories portrayed and characters involved are well set out - even if you only read one book in the series and are not familiar with events having happened beforehand. All books are set up on their own merits and while reference is taken to other people, enough is explained not to get confused about the plots at hand.The first book essentially introduces the world of Chanku Shapeshifters through the eyes of those who have already discovered their abilities and those confused as to why they are very different and don't know how or why. Slowly but surely throughout the series more and more people are introduced to their new world as well as the fact that there are (government) people out there wanting to use their abilities for their own gain - making this series a mixture of allowing to live and let live, no matter how different you turn out to be. After all, we are all individuals with our own special talents, strengths and weaknesses - these books just take them one step further and allow for certain people to transform into wolves and live their lives in packs. I am thoroughly enjoying each and every book, each and every story, each and every (new) character introduced and exploring the new world of Chanku people, coming from every walk of life and background and race right down to allowing gay mating. Anything and everything goes as long as it does no harm to anyone which is a very important lesson for all of us to learn. And if you enjoy a bit of the 'naughty and nice' in life thrown in - this is absolutely the series to get into. Happy Reading :)

Weird but even that couldn't keep my attention,
By FetchMeMyFaintingCouch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wolf Tales (Paperback)
After reading the first chapter of Wolf Tales I it's easy to understand the mixed reactions. This is one weird book!After Alexandria walks in on her fiance buck naked with another woman -- in their bed no less -- she decides to hop in her car and escape for awhile. As luck would have it, she ends up getting run off the road while caught in a blizzard. She begins to walk in the hopes of finding some shelter but gets all turned around and lost in the blinding snow. She succumbs to the cold and collapses in a heap giving up all hope of rescue. When she awakens she feels an intense heat emanating from the male form laying naked beside her now naked body. What? Where'd he come from? Overcome by lust and gratitude, she allows him to do as he wishes with her body. Never seeing his face. Yes, Never Seeing His Face. She then passes out from exhaustion. Life is so tough some days. Thus begins Stefan (the naked, faceless man) and Xandria's love affair. From the moment they touch they're connected and Xandria finds herself overwhelmingly attracted to him despite the fact that he's, eh, covered in gray downy fur, has a "muzzle" and a beastly protrusion where a man-part is supposed to be located (I'm thinking this is where the other reviewers went "ick!!"). It's weird, oh yes it is, but so vividly written that you just can't turn away even though your brain is screaming "this is so not right, stop reading, STOP READING NOW!". I'm sad to say this book went downhill at the midway point. A little more plot would've gone a long way here. One sex scene after another gets excruciatingly dull when there's no plot to get in the way. I ended up bored and skimmed my way to the end so I could it pass it along to the next victim. 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful

Not gross at all.,

This review is from: Wolf Tales (Paperback)
After reading the many and diametrically diverse reviews of this book, I just purchased it. I must say, it turned out better than I thought it might. In fact, the wolf-human-hybrid 'triangle' was cool. It is a new twist on some old taboos. I didn't think the characters were the most grabbing for me, emotionally, that I've ever read about, but I did enjoy their situation and resolutions. I liked them. Very satisfactory all the way around. And the sex was very good. Remember, although caution, safe sex, etc., are all very well and necessary in the real world, in our fantasies, all bets are off. Now that my appetite is whetted, will probably try the other Wolf Tales books. Hope they stretch the envelop a bit more. Stretching the envelope is good exercise!

Atomic Hot!,
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wolf Tales (Paperback)
Sliding off the road in the middle of a snow storm, Alexandria "Xandi" Olanet's plan to get her life in order is not going well. After catching her fiance with another woman, Xandi took some time off to find herself. Now Xandi simply needs to find her way back to the highway... uphill in a blizzard! Having blacked out before finding help, Xandi finally wakes to find herself unexpectedly bathed in warmth. The mind blowing sex with an unknown man that follows is overwhelming. It is unlike anything Xandi has ever experienced!Xandi's new lover and savior is Stefan Aragat, the famous magician. He is also a werewolf trapped between forms as part man and part wolf. Unable to fully become a human, Stefan believes he is cursed by his own hubris and has given up hope. This powerful new connection with Xandi encourages him to seek forgiveness from his former master. He hopes that werewolf wizard Anton Chavel can reverse the curse. Although Stefan wants Xandi's company, he is unsure how to explain the attraction he shares with his mentor. His worst fears are realized at their first meeting when Xandi sees him being dominated by Anton. Stefan fears he has lost her, but their bond proves strong enough to handle this new dimension. Xandi's love helps Stefan see that hope is not lost. Maybe there really is no curse. Maybe there is a place for Anton in both their lives. Maybe this is a new beginning for all of them. Ms. Douglas' Wolf Tales, a collection of four connected stories, is a unique and intense werewolf story that sends the reader into a sensual world. I especially liked the way Ms. Douglas' werewolves are unique from werewolves of myth. The early scenes with Xandi and Stefan are hot enough to cause a heat wave in a blizzard. Xandi is a strong woman who has finally found where she belongs. Stefan is a flawed man discovering redemption through the strength of their bond. Anton's search for a mate and family is heart wrenching. Ms. Douglas deftly handles controversial subjects such as sex in animal form, homosexuality, dominance, and partner sharing. This isn't your typical romance, and the strong characters and story line made it all work. Without giving too much away, the introduction of a fourth character late in the story was key in my accepting the Chanku's nontraditional social structure. Wolf Tales is an atomic hot erotic romance with real emotional depth. Cheryl Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed |
