TITLE: His Biker Bear
AUTHOR: Angelique Voisen
PUBLISHER: Evernight Publishing
LENGTH: 70 Pages
RELEASE DATE: March 5, 2016
BLURB:
Take without asking. Kill to survive. That’s been my mantra for years. A lone bear like me isn’t interested in being rooted down, until fate threw a dirty-talking Omega with an attitude under my wheels.
Jake Winters wants a protector. I’m looking for one last wild ride before heading back on the road. Mating Jake and marrying our wolves hadn’t been on the agenda. Neither was falling in love.
REVIEW:
I usually don’t read works that are this short in page numbers because I’m such a reading glutton, and I prefer a book with lots and lots of pages, and lots and lots of story! Nevertheless, I requested this book while training a new reviewer, and I’ll be honest, I enjoyed this novella, for what it was. I found it well structured, with a beginning, middle and end, and although I would have been happy to read more pages about these characters, I didn’t feel slighted when I finished it. I’ve never read anything by this author, but would probably consider reading more in the future.
We meet Blake Hayden when he is riding along on his motorcycle…worried if it is going to make it to the next town. It is running poorly and he can’t remember the last time he had it worked on. But the problem is the town ahead is known for having a very standoffish pack of wolf shifters living there, and he is a bear shifter.
When a wolf runs out in front of him and it turns out to be an Omega from that town, by the name of Jake Winters, thing start to get complicated for Blake. Jake is on the run from something. Can and will Blake help?
I enjoyed this quick read as I mentioned above, but with some caveats. I really found that the story was a little too predictable for me. It had the good guy versus bad guy, knight in shining armor, fight for the Omega type story that is quite common in this genre, and as such it didn’t really vary all that much from a lot of other shifter stories that I’ve read in the past. And what was up with the characters’ names? Jake & Blake? Seriously?
As a biker, and a bear, I love books with that combination. This one though, even while well laid out and structured, could have used a little more oomph. I would like to have known more about the characters, who I really didn’t connect with as much as I had hoped. Overall, I’m going to have to rate this one as Good/Average on our scale.
