Wild About You by Kerrelyn Sparks

I was so excited to read Howard's story... but I was disappointed with how the book turned out. 

Howard was a great character, but I thought his story was a bit repetitive and exaggerated. The home decoration show did not help make the book interesting and it kind of seems like it was the first idea that popped up in Ms. Sparks' mind. It annoyed me when Howard said that he fell in love with Elsa while he was secretly watching her shows. 

Howard was a really cute teddy bear... I mean were-bear. Elsa was a good character but she was really annoying at times. She always changes her mind. One minute she's angry at Howard or she wants to stay away from him, and then another minute she's so in love with Howard that she doesn't care about the curse.

Overall, the book was an easy read and it was fun, but there were parts where I felt like slamming my head against the wall. I do recommend the book especially if you are a huge fan of the Love at Stake series because there are major things that happened in the book.

Love at Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks

I think this is one of the best series featuring vampires and shifters. It’s got humor, drama, action, romance, etc. The characters are funny (especially the Scots). The series pretty much focuses on the war between good and bad vampires. The good vampires (which are the main characters) prefer to drink synthetic blood made by their leader Roman, while the bad vampires prefer to drink human blood and cause havoc. 

I love the characters in the series because they’re all funny and you can definitely relate to them. The vampires can teleport and they’re pretty much rich. Their leader Roman is like a super smart vampire scientist. I definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves romance, vampires, shifters, etc. They even have were-bears and were-panthers! There are also famous vampire fashion designers, a security company, and sword fighting vampires.  Oh, and the children in the later books are sooo cute (Tino). I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I’ll just suggest you try this series out!! So far there are 12 books out now, and the 13th book, which is Howard’s book (Wild About You) will be releasing on November 27, 2012.
