crudely written “romance” with some potential
Why did I read this? And am I glad I did?
This was a free eBook from Amazon.com that caught my eye. I think sign language is beautiful and have started learning it a few times. So when I saw a free book about a deaf werewolf that happened to be a romance, I grabbed it! Unfortunately, I didn’t like it. I only finished it because it only took me less than two hours to read. A deaf werewolf who doesn’t know what she is until she meet her mate who she can’t stop thinking about jumping? Yeah I could like that. However, after reading the phrase “balls deep inside her xx” during a sex scene, I started skimming over them. I guess I like my steamy scenes just a tad classier :/
Brief Summary
Talk about getting your signals crossed …
Granite Lake Wolves, Book 1
Robyn Maxwell doesn-t care that her brother has to cancel out on their backcountry ski trip. She can do it alone. The fact she-s deaf doesn-t make her survival skills any weaker. The chance to get away from it all and relax in the Yukon wilderness is just what she-s been craving.
Meeting wilderness guide Keil at the cabin starts cravings of another kind. Keil-s one hot hunk of ripped, tasty male. Now she has to deal with raging hormones as well as strange questions about wolves and mates and challenges to the death.
Keil was trying for a nice reflective retreat before challenging for the Alpha position of his Alaskan pack. He wasn-t planning on meeting the woman destined to be his mate, or finding out she-s not aware she has the genes of a wolf.
Between dealing with his accident-prone younger brother, a deaf mate with an attitude and an impending duel to the death, his week-and his bed-is suddenly full.
Far from the relaxing getaway any of them had in mind-
Warning: Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase -talking with your hands-. Includes dangerous use of sarcasm and hot nookie in a remote wilderness sauna.
Recommendations
I’m really not sure. If you like a raunchy romance with no real plot, you might like this. At least it’s cheap and short?
Disagree? Please let me know!
Hmm. Sounds terrible. I’m of the opinion that romance shouldn’t be crudely written. Crude is for men.
Think I will skip this—I like my stories to have plot whether it is romance or anything else.
Ewwwwww. Thank God I just read your review. This was on my tbr list (like you, I thought the premise interesting) but now I think I’ll pass. Just ewwwww!
Thanks for the review!!

omg…that’s is funny…balls deep inside. NICE. I will probably skip downloading this.
WOW sounds like a bad porn! I’m with you I like my steamy scenes to have some class!
@ Amanda : Good point. The way the lead male was written, you would almost think a male wrote this…
@ Felicia : I will say there was a thin plot that could have been really good… had there been better characters, classier sex scenes, and a faster pace :/
@ E.J. Stevens : LOL eww is right
I read a lot of paranormal romance and for me to think a sex scene is just too much is really saying something lol.
@ Wicked Walker : I know! That was the point in the book where I asked myself “WTF are you reading?!”. Even thought the next book in the series is one a few bucks, I won’t be reading it.
@ Stacey (Say Something Stacey) : YES! Exactly! It read like a bad porn!
I am with Amanda, romance should not be crude. If it were a different kind of book then that sort of foul description might fit (although I still wouldn’t love reading it)but in a romance? ICK!! Thanks for the review. This is going on the “never to be read” list
@ Rachel : Good call
