LMM's Reviews > A Hunger Like No Other

Wow I thought this was pretty bad. I know I am in the minority but I found the plot was really thin. I also felt all the characters were incredibly "thick"(except Bove) esp. Emma & her family. IMO, There are far better paranormal "romance" books. I just didn't connect w/the characters at all nor the author's justifications for their actions.

Basically the book followed the Romance formula authors are forced to follow by their publishers to a T:

Sexually experienced to the hilt, hung like a horse Alpha Male meets his true Virginal mate (or vice versa) - apparently, these men are just as surprised as I am that these woman are still virgins. 🙄

One of them is reluctant & fights the attraction by usually believing something not true about the other person, about 50% of the way through the book is when something sexual happens - it’s either, they have sex for the 1st time OR something big sexually happens between then sans penetration.

If they don't have sex @ the 50% mark - more misunderstanding high-jinks ensue until about 70-79% When the deed is actually done.

At 80% the big bad starts to be dealt with. By 90% the big bad is being confronted & by 95-100% the author neatly ties up the happy ending.

In this book - The main character is an insecure, whiny, spoiled, cruel, shrew. The man is very Alpha & grunts his speech 1/2 the time but he is a hell of a lot better than her & her insane family. The plot is lame & the formula is dog tired.

The worst part is that actually, the man from the beginning tries to find out more about the MC & explain himself but she won't hear it. The author's excuse? "She's secretive" & "she wants to protect her family." From what exactly I haven’t a clue, ‘cause they all happen to be lethal ! It's all just a series of excessively dumb assumptions. Like an episode of “Three’s Company”.

I suppose I would say this is really technically "paranormal romance" & that's that.

I don't recommend unless the person is a hardcore romance junkie.
