- m/f, m/f/m, spanking. Lusty, frequent, explicit. And one shot of "claiming" sex where she does each man in turn, in shifted form.
- Doesn't appear to be part of a series (different from others in LoveXtreme group of books). Stands-alone as a complete story.
- Edwina is an independent, strong woman who finds herself forced to depend on the Seven Scientists. This doesn't sit well with her, but she courageously overcomes her doubts within a week or so to spend the next eight months of winter - March through October - enjoying the men.
Opinion [MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS]:
I wanted to like this book. I have enjoyed most of the others in the LoveXtreme series and thought this would be right up my alley. But I wasn't overly impressed. It was okay. The sex was steamy, explicit. But for the first time I read one of these books and really thought she was pushing her luck to not be seen as "easy". She goes through the men sequentially - who's turn next? - while declaring this was just short term fun. She falls into instant lust with them, without any real reason given, but there is an "instant connection" that means she must have them NOW. And then the sex itself verged on wham-bam - not a whole lot of lovin' goin' on. It just doesn't sit well. So does the plot arc make up for it? Not really. It was interesting enough, but came to a very rapid (and predictable) conclusion. *shrug* Disappointing. The book's only "okay".
I really hate giving a "bad" review, especially for a book I should like, that I expected to like. But in the end this is only my opinion, with all the baggage that I bring to it. Maybe you'll like it better than I did. I read the book twice to see if I'd missed something, but it didn't get any better *for me*. I just didn't get it. But I'm no professional reviewer; I'm allowed to have my own views on a book and sometimes I just don't like them. But maybe you will?
