Review of Secret Chemistry

I have been looking forward to this book for a long time now, and I finally was able to borrow it from my public library. The cover image is so beautiful! I really enjoyed the first half of the book with lots of action and background to the main couple's mating bond. The second half of the book had a little too much dialogue (even though the sex was hot) and was a bit annoying with repetitive information. I would recommend it, though, for people who enjoy hybrid shifters, young protagonists that you get to know as they age, and fated mates.

Puppy Play and Heartache

I read Naughty Boy before I read this first, companion piece, The Good Boy. I took a chance on this longer story since I loved the way the authors portrayed Ferg and Brin's relationship (DD) and the friendship between Brin and Lane. I was NOT disappointed in the least with this book! I loved the puppy play and snuggling that happens for a good chunk of the book. The sex between the couple is intense but slow-to-build, as it should be in a hurt/comfort tale. I absolutely loved the real dogs at the shelter Lane helps out with as well. The main, strong discipline scene is realistic and helps make readers understand the need for some subs to be almost forced to admit their feelings. And I loved the HEA! I recommend this book to anyone interested in relationships with a large age gap, puppy play, DD, or BDSM.
