My first review of Lover Beware
My Review:
Oh, wow. Loved rereading this anthology, with it's awesome novellas! Of them all, I have to say, that the first, and the last, were my favourite, mostly because the 2nd one ended sad, and the full length novel that follows it doesn't feature them, and the 3rd one, gave me an impression of "meh."

The first story was the firsts of the Drake sisters, and I loved their teasing, especially around the prophecy of how they would all fall in love, like dominoes! And how annoyed Elle was, since, as the 7th daughter, she would be having 7 daughters!

The next story, well, it ended with her leaving, and yeah, they're not mentioned in the full length novel's synopsis, so I don't have much hope for them appearing, so while it was a good novella, in the end, it would've been better if I hadn't read it all, because of the disappointment.

The third story, was set in New Zealand, and I think that was part of the meh factor-that they were pretty isolated, it was a small town, where nothing bad had happened to it till now, but the romance was really, really great, I liked that!

Loved the 4th story, especially the end, where she goes, "men aren't the only ones lycanthrope can effect" and how their kids could be what he can become, or a tiger, which is pretty darned cool, I really enjoyed that ending, I would've loved to see his face when she said that!

All in all, a really good anthology!
