Brawn

Here's the deal. I like Brawn. A lot. I just wished these two were better at communicating. In the end though, I was quite happy with how things turned out. New Species reads are always steamy and have elements of action and tension that I really enjoy. This one didn't disappoint on that front, so it's a solid 4 stars from me.

halfway through, it got better, as far as PNR go. but the first ten chapters were poorly written, kinda chopped, which made it hard to get into the story.

I want to say that I HATE this cover. It looks like some hot dude taking a shit. That completely takes the “hot” right out of that sentence.

I like Brawn. He is naive to the ways of human women. He often says thing he shouldn't, things that humans think are rude, but he has no idea what he has done to anger. He is pushy, and his logic is ABC. Trisha is a woman he desires above all others, she is pregnant, obviously she is his. She doesn't see it that way. She thinks he is only settling for her to the right thing for the baby. He hasn't talked to her since they were imprisoned together for breeding purposes.

I loved the phone calls between Trisha the doc and Becca. It seems that ALL the characters in this series is getting knocked up. It is becoming a bit repetitive. I can see that if I had followed this series from the beginning that I may see it this way, bit back to back it seems too often. I would love to see a New Species female get a book. I haven't checked to see if one does, but I hope. Some of the lavey scenes seem a bit too much, too corny, too sappy. This seemed to go from “couple problems” to marriage way too quick. I don't think the father's reaction was in character to his previous action. I just think this could have been better. I was so happy to see Brawn's book. I like the woman he got. I think the problem was the flow, and at time the writing. This one for me was not Dohnerish. (I stake my claim on that word!)
