Wild Thing

I picked up this book solely because it contains “Hunter Kiss,” the novella that precedes Iron Hunt. Liu certainly didn't disappoint me.

The other three novellas didn't suck as much as most romance-centered works do. Maggie Shayne's “Animal Magnetism” was working for me, but then a mention of a dog seeing a color brought my suspension of disbelief crashing down around me. “Paradise” by Meljean Brook was, eh, okay, I guess. I just couldn't really get excited, and the “plot” seemed a lame excuse to bring the man and woman together. Alyssa Day's “Wild Hearts in Atlantis” would have been much, much better without the all-too-common “Oh, I'm so unattractive!” crap from the female lead. I suppose it would be fine for romance fans.
