Week 33 Reviews: Dragged Through Hedgerows, Governed by Whimsy


From Goodreads:
He had one job. Becoming a family pet wasn't it.

For the sake of his people, Daroo-fen has lived among humans, working as a lawyer in a little mountain town. He's vowed to protect the surrounding woodlands, no matter the cost. But in the course of duty, he meets a man who needs help … and a friend. Too long a loner, Daroo cannot keep away, but there's a fine line between getting close and getting too close. If the Cooper family finds out his secret, two worlds might brand the wolf a traitor.

From Goodreads:
His whims drove off her predecessors. Her whimsy drives him to distraction.

To Ambrose P. Merriman, a stage actor who's gained acclaim on three continents, reaver escorts are more trouble than they're worth. Easy-come, easy-go, he hardly bothers to learn their names anymore. But the director and producer of their theater troupe, who are already dancing on the fringes of acceptability, won't risk losing their independence by neglecting this duty to the In-between.

Reaver Greta Demerara comes with suspiciously excellent references, but by the time the Evernhold brothers realize she's carrying considerably more baggage than anyone bothered to mention, the train's already left the station. What's more, it's quickly apparent that Greta's no easier to deal with than their star. It's either a game of cat and canary or a courtship. And Ambrose would give almost anything for a look at the script.

My Review:
These were really great stories to read! I'm loving these novellas, and I can't wait to read more-it's great to see these little snippets of this world, of characters that some, we've seen before, and some we haven't, though with my memory, and how complex this world is, I just might not have realized.

It was great to be in this world at these various times-Dragged Through Hedgerows takes 5 years before Tsumiko, while Governed by Whimsy takes place some time when trains were the main method of transportation. Plus, they were just entertaining stories! 

Dragged Through Hedgerows, I'm almost certain has characters from Tamiko, but I'm so bad at names and my memory is awful, so I can't be 100%. But either way, I loved this story, and how he became a part of their family! 

Governed by Whimsy, well, I can tell why it was named that, Greta was just a little ball of chaos, with her love of fashion, and absent-mindness, and I really adored her and her story! With Ambrose, he was a little prickly, but oh, that worked well with her personality. 

These were such great reads, and I can't wait to continue on with this series!
