Ah, I really needed a brusque shifter book. Yup, that's my go-to genre when I'chiliad in a strange mood and I don't know what to read..
Anyway, the story was pretty nice, the writing was decent (a few grammer mistakes but ah well) and the characters weren't too bad. I loved the friend-characters though, they were bully! Funny and smart and they fabricated me curious about the next volume.

I liked the friend characters more than than the heroes...Ah, I actually needed a short shifter book. Yup, that's my go-to genre when I'chiliad in a strange mood and I don't know what to read..
Anyway, the story was pretty nice, the writing was decent (a few grammar mistakes only ah well) and the characters weren't likewise bad. I loved the friend-characters though, they were peachy! Funny and smart and they fabricated me curious about the side by side volume.
All in all, it was typical for a book similar this. Information technology wasn't bad merely information technology wasn't a piece of work of art either, merely that's exactly what I'm looking for in books similar this: a fast read, a decent story and, if I'm lucky, they will make me curious about more books.
I've read this volume too many times to count. Information technology is absolutely my favorite ever mate book. It'due south 1 of the few books that I love the hero and the heroine equally.

Contains Spoilers! !Oh I loved this! Sure it wasn't the best written and had some editing issues just that didn't bother me! I seriously take a girl crush on Clytie:D!She was awesome! I loved how she stands her ground with Demon!She had me laughing. Demon oh that OTT Alpha human being! Dear him and his possessiveness! I dear them togther ! I actually liked Ben and Mac too:)
Safety: Heroine was a virgin. Hero wasn't. Information technology was said in one case or twice he liked information technology hard and fast (I didn't like hearing that)and oft! That was something I didn't demand to know. Just because Clytie was special and he never took anyone home and only had ONS I got past that annotate. Thats it well-nigh his past. No other women drama! Oh and he always used condoms before h:) At that place is one attempted rape scene. Bad guy rips her dress as starts to yank it off simply she hits him and stabs him. he doesn't get far. He did pull his cock out of his pants and she feels him against her breadbasket. Demon gets at that place in fourth dimension merely not before he throws her against the wall and she blacks out. That's it. I would safe pretty safe read if you can handle what I mentioned.
...more"Now remember Demon, repeat the mantra, 'I am dangerous, I am tough. I have a scary tattoo on my neck.' In no fourth dimension at all, everyone will believe information technology."
Clytie was off the wall fun. Her starting time coming together with Demon and how she ha I love it when I detect a new series that has quirky heroines with some growly alphas and I think I may accept just stumbled upon one. There were definitely some express joy out loud moments. There were a few times I caught myself rolling my optics, just I had then much fun I ignored that.
"At present recall Demon, echo the mantra, 'I am unsafe, I am tough. I take a scary tattoo on my neck.' In no fourth dimension at all, anybody will believe it."
Clytie was off the wall fun. Her first meeting with Demon and how she handled his expectations on how she would react to his overly tall, scarred and scary appearance had me in stitches. How she dealt with all the zaniness and surprises she was in for when she hooked up with Demon and his friends kept me guessing what she would say next and laughing whenever she opened her rima oris. Clytie's family unit history was another affair altogether, both heart breaking and anger inducing. Her family was a nasty and judgemental group that she was on the outs with for very proficient reason.
"All right." He froze. "What?" "All right." "All right, what?" "All right. I'll motility in with you." "All correct, you'll move in with me and call me master?" She snorted out a laugh. "Nice try."
Demon was gruff, mean, growly, alpha protective, and hilarious all rolled up into a 7 foot tall, scarred, hot package. My favorite kind of H. Yes, in that location was definitely fashion as well much insta-dear going on and the fast pace of the motility in was admittedly ridiculous, but it's a shifter book so I can give some grace on that. Demon had his own family issues that required a bit more activeness than an mental attitude aligning. Thank goodness our seven foot alpha monster tin can dish out some serious, only sometimes gruesome, whoop-ass.
Not only did I really savour Clytie and Demon, just I loved the Lionsgate pack every bit a whole. Ben and Mac who share a chemical compound with Demon, were particularly endearing and I can't look to read their story. I take high hopes for this series and tin't look to dive into the next i.

4.five stars. What?! Ok I know information technology is not the all-time book always written or edited. But I LOVED it. I laughed out loud a lot. I was in a book slump and this was exactly what I needed. A hero I love, a bang-up heroine and practiced secondary characters.Demon's inner monologue was hilarious. He had the to the lowest degree smooth moves of anyone, ever! Clytie (these names are terrible) was sugariness and funny and pretty damn understanding. Of course, he was never the relationship blazon (hotel hook ups) and she was a virgin. But he is crazed for her immediately. And she him. Somehow it is cute and hot.
This is a typical wolf shifter finds mate book. Just Demon was funny and charming in his way. He is a beast of a man. 7 feet tall with a large scar on his face. There is danger and Clytie finds herself at the mercy of a sociopath. But not to worry....Demon will save the mean solar day.
I have no involvement in the residual of this series. Merely I hear there is a winter hymeneals volume coming for Demon and Clytie this November. I will definitely pick that upwards!
Safety Gang prophylactic.
...moreI read some reviews where people raved about this serial. I wasn't super impressed by the opener. Information technology was okay. Information technology was brusk, very insta-love, fiddling story, with lots of smut. I probably won't continue with the series, since it's non in KU.

I tried, honestly, I tried to read this just it was so riddled with typos, as if no one even took a look at it to edit it. I tried to ignore but the missing commas and the constant typos just about drove me insane that I finally stopped afterward reading a couple chapters. To be honest, it was that and how TSTL the heroine was within those first two chapters that fabricated me stop reading it. She was absolutely airheaded/dumb and I didn't intendance for her at all.Thank God, I borrowed this as a Prime member for free and didn't actually spend my $$ on it. Would have been more pissed if I had. RETURN!
...moreThis was a swell story. I really loved Clytie and Demon...they made a surprisingly good pair. This is the first story I've read by this author and I was very pleased with it. I will be trying out more of her work.
Clytie is a pretty absurd character. She'due south seen a lot of bad in her life and even her family unit hasn't always been there for her. She is an artist but her family isn't very supportive. She also has bad luck in her dear life which ends her upward in a bar waiting for a blind date. Her
iv.5-5 starsThis was a great story. I really loved Clytie and Demon...they made a surprisingly proficient pair. This is the beginning story I've read by this author and I was very pleased with information technology. I will be trying out more of her work.
Clytie is a pretty cool character. She's seen a lot of bad in her life and even her family hasn't always been in that location for her. She is an artist but her family unit isn't very supportive. She besides has bad luck in her love life which ends her up in a bar waiting for a blind date. Her date ends up being a looser but she meets Demon in the bar and things starts to look up.
Demon is a wolf shifter. He used to be a Navy SEAL and now does security systems and such. He has a pack made up of other shifters (of whatsoever variety) that banded together with him. He'southward never had a existent relationship only when he meets Clytie, he has an instinctual demand for her and proceeds to claim her. I really liked Demon. He's possessive and totally alpha but he is so sweet to Clytie and I just loved him! I think I've found a new book-boyfriend. :D
Things go pretty rapidly and Clytie and Demon end up in a very hot "first date" that lasts in to the next 24-hour interval. Clytie's a fleck freaked so she gets some fourth dimension lone to piece of work on her art but can't cease thinking about Demon. He can't stay away from her (although he does give her a few days..more often than not) and once he gets dorsum in to her life he strives to stay in that location. It doesn't take as well much though because Clytie realizes he's something special and is willing to give it a go. It is a bit of an insta-love thing but IMO information technology worked with the story. Of course, when things between them are adept something has to get wrong. Demon gets chosen away and Clytie ends upward in danger and goes through some trauma. Demon rescues her and things work out well. I loved the catastrophe of the book...overall it left me feeling happy and satisfied.
This was a great book. I loved Demon...so badass, hot and sweet all at once. Clytie is sweet and yet spunky and the perfect counter to Demon's badassedness. Very enjoyable and engaging story. I'd recommend it. Pollex up! :D
i/xvi/16 -This is a reread earlier reading Marrying Her. I still love Clytie and Demon and enjoyed their story very much. :)

Clytie Jones is post-obit her dreams and making it on her own every bit an artist. She wasn't planning on falling in love, especially for a dangerously sexy shifter named Demon. Later on he grabs her and kisses her 1 night they are both surprised at the sparks that fly between them. Simply is Clytie prepare for the danger and loftier stake risks that come from loving a shifter?Holy crap this volume was amazing! I loved how Demon and Clytie met and the way the allure was hot and instantaneous, like lightning during a summertime tempest. Demon was a very alluring character, I loved his dominant nature and the fashion he completely cruel head over heels for Clytie. It was sexy, but likewise very adorable at the same time. And Clytie was a very relatable character, I was rooting for her the whole fourth dimension!
I would highly recommend this if you are a fan of paranormal romance!
...moreOne night isn't plenty for Demon and he knows that Clytie is the woman for him and he doesn't intend to ever give h
This is 1 of the best shapeshifter romance books i've read this year. I loved this book from starting time to end but I wish information technology was longer. Clytie had a bullheaded date but met Demon and they hit it off instantly, Clytie was like no other woman Demon has always met and his wolf wants her just as bad as he does. she was attracted to Demon right away so when he kissed her the deal was sealed.One night isn't enough for Demon and he knows that Clytie is the woman for him and he doesn't intend to ever give her up only he will have to find a way to tell her that he's a werewolf and his friends are shifters as well. As Clytie and Demon spend more than time together they grow more in love, the death of Demons mom sends him back to a past he thought he left behind for good, and people in his past desire revenge and they volition get it any fashion possible.
This was a dandy shifter romance with one of the all-time hero'due south i've read nearly in a while. Demon had a one track heed once he met Clytie and he would do annihilation to have and keep her. He was possessive, enervating, controlling, and an all around hot guy. The improver of his friends made for some great story lines and funny moments. This was an all around excellent book. My but comment was that it was hard at time to hands distinguish when the POV inverse, but other wise I loved this book.

Okay this read was merely what I needed apparently. Its a short read merely packed with a lot of story. However, yous'll exist so enthralled with it, you volition detest when information technology ends. Which is all too shortly.I may be a little biased with this ane. The hero, Demon in a lot of ways reminded me of my husband. So I loved him direct out the gate. He could do no incorrect. Clytie was definitely the perfect yin to Demon's yang. Loved watching these 2 get to know one another. They had great chemistry. The secondary characters ranging from Demon's posse, to Clytie's family to the villains were all fleshed out well. They kept the story/ drama, & suspense moving at a steady pace. The reveals were a little scary just quite entertaining.
This i had some LOL moments & sweetness endearing ones as well.
And let me only say the sex scenes in this one were plentiful, amazingly white hot, and had me running similar a faucet. Wow.
So if you're looking for a paranormal read that is hot, short, sweet & packed with plenty of story, I would highly recommend that you expect here.

Demon is a non nonsense wolf shifter who has no plans hitching himself to any woman. And then Clytie Jones approaches him at the bar he hangs out at, she is non agape of him or his scar. She offers some sense of humor to his day merely when her blind date turns out badly, Demon decides to step in.Clytie knows she is non a worldly woman, in fact she is a 28 twelvemonth former virgin. However, she decides to give in to one nighttime with Demon thinking he is the perfect man to slumber with. Demon though decides that Clytie is his mate and she is not going anywhere. A homo who is used to being by himself now has to quickly learn how to charm his mate who has a heed of her own.
Sweet story. I liked that Clytie and Demon were polar opposites. Demon struggles a bit with trying to communicate withhis mate, which is quite entertaining. Great read, looking forward to more in this series.
...moreSome absolute no-no's: virgin heroine at near 30. unprotected sexual practice, a few hours after they first meet. Consent isn't ever clear (but it was nowhere well-nigh as rapey every bit the novella 2.5). Motherfucking stupid heroine. And and so on.
I thought the relationship between the H and h was great. I loved that even though she was overwhelmed that she still was strong, fearless, and determined that she would non be trampled into oblivion by her possessive male. The times when she gave into him didn't come across as weakness because it was clear that she understood that she was a priority for him and that his remorse was present when called for.
I besides loved the H's team/pack. Their camaraderie and their skill sets and their willingness to be their for 1 another. They were crawly and I want more more more more.

I idea i had this review all figured out. BTW this was around folio xxx. And so information technology was gonna go like this,"So yep basically I found the book pure fluff. Good fluff. But fluff none the less. Personally i like my books with more than substance. Merely I can't blame anyone for this because i started this book knowing that information technology'll probably be 95% fluff."
So imagine my surprise when i plant the book had actual substance. I mean for a 91 page book, the substance/fluff ratio was just right. I had a blast reading this, it was super funny. I loved how Clytie was fearless in the face up of this seven-foot monster. personally i similar my guys in the range of vi'ii to vi'5. And then Demon was huuuugee!!! xD
I absolutely adore the Ben-Mac duo and how they knew just when Clytie and Demon were gonna disappear and need alone time and therefore which plans were to be cancelled. :P
The only thing i can say is that, id actually like to know how the hell do you pronounce "Clytie" :/
