3 Stars!
When Love Walked In
Short, sassy and Sweet story with a touch of humor. It was like watching a film Noir styled movie except instead of “Guns, Dames and Hats” we had “Guns (sort of), guys and cats”.
I really liked Bruce and his curmudgeonly attitude. I could picture him in my mind quite vividly and I loved it.
In His Corner
This one moved quite fast but, honestly, I felt as if it were missing something important. It just wasn’t enough for us to see the present, I felt we needed to really see the past and how these two men became who they are. Eli was 8 when he met Dalton who was 21. To fall for someone that way I thought we needed a longer, deeper and full-length book to really feel connected to the characters and the story.
Believe Me, Beloved
A different and dark take on werewolves and werejaguars. I am sorry, but this story just wasn’t for me. I hate saying that because not only am I a huge fan of shifters but I generally love Charlie Cochet. Unfortunately, though, BMB just wasn’t what I expected or hoped and I couldn’t connect with it or with Robert and Gabriel.
Overall, A Tender Curiosity was okay but not my favorite Charlie Cochet book.
