was so much fun, Calvin and Alesandro were so adorable together, although, Calvin had to be wooed a bit before he felt fully accepted by Alesandro, I really enjoyed the aspect of having mutant shifters as the threat in this story, I found it to be quite unique versus the cliché of human hunters or crazy scientists which are the usual threat in most of the shifter books I read.
Cute and very steamy read, Après la déception du tome précédent, javoue que jétais un peu refroidie concernant cette série et que je nétais pas trop motivée pour lire la suite Mais les choses ont fait que javais besoin dun petit moment de détente sans prise de tête et que javais cet ebook sous la main.
Au final, jai été assez agréablement surprise, le niveau se relevant ici avec une intrigue qui devient plus intéressante,
Calvin est un menuisier de talent qui se retrouve à élever seul sa petite sœur Cynthia, ce quil a fait avec brio jusquà ce quelle se soit fait kidnapper.
A partir de ce momentlà, cet humain en toute somme normal, se retrouve mêler à des ennuis surnaturels et compliqués qui va lentraîner à se rapprocher du vampire Alessandro.
Tuer Anthony a beau le répugner au plus haut point, il na pas le choix,
Alessandro de son côté, est à la tête des vampires et un allié précieux dAnthony, Ces deuxlà sentendent très bien et il adore embêter Silver, Cest un personnage que lon connait déjà et quon a appris à apprécier, Il est intéressant de voir les choses depuis son point de vue, il est plus sensible et romantique quon ne le croirait, Grâce à lui on en apprend plus sur les vampires, ce qui change des garous,
Lintrigue est basique et on sait doffice comment les choses vont se conclure, Bien évidemment comme dhabitude, tout le monde est gay et il ny a pas de soucis au niveau de la séduction, cest le coup de foudre respectif immédiat.
Les scènes de sexe sont simples, directs et de nouveau dans des lieux inédits, Le tout reste simple, avec une écriture qui ne memballe toujours pas plus que cela et jai apprécié certains des personnages secondaires quon ne voit presque pas comme le bras droit dAlessandro et Cynthia.
Cette série reste ludique et une lecture détente qui fait rire avec ses clichés, When Calvin's sister is kidnapped will he be forced to betray a friend to get her back or will the sexy vampire, Alesandro, come to his rescue This isn't going to much of a review.
A good.star story that begins the progression of what looks to be a series story arc,
I liked that Alessandro wasn't ubercocky given his long life and experience, I miss that we don't know what is involved the the conversion process,
Scarey moment toward the end, And Calvin has a SBS Stupid Boy Syndrome moment at the end,
Nice quick read, If I'm not careful, I'll rip through this series in no time! :
P, S. I love the third edition covers way better than the first or second editions, Reread:
Again an okay, albeit blindingly fast, tiny story, People sure do commit very fast to either love or advanced relationships, Still, I appreciate that there arent pages upon pages of sex even if the romance is still sexbased and that theres actual plot happening,
I guess thats the good part about accelerated storytelling: a lot might be left out of rushed, but at least its not boring, It does help that the characters come slightly more alive even the vampires, hah than in some of the short, sexbased paranormal series I have sampled.
Add a very nonserious tone, mixed with the most awful pickup lines and selfmocking narrative, plus the fact that no one is infallible or remotely perfect.
All in all, this makes for a mixture of its own, both in the good and the bad,
The Anthony saga is already in full swing and at its amusing stage,
AMOR Y SECUESTRO! ,Calvin un carpintero que es contratado para el nuevo hotel de Anthony tiene la misión de secuestrarlo para así poder salvar a su hermana lo que no tiene en cuenta es que tendrá una atracción instantánea hacia Alessandro un vampiro que quiere protegerlo tanto como quiere tenerlo debajo de el.
Me gustó el libro es divertido y caliente sin embargo no logré sentir mucha conexión con los personajes, Wow, this one left entirely too much on the editing room floor, I barely understand Calvin and Alessandro's relationship let alone their personalities, Maybe I'm missing the point, Maybe these are all just supposed to introduce a couple and then let them develop over the rest of the series as part of the ensemble.
We'll see il migliore della serie,avventuroso e romantico, getting better
,stars
This series is getting better with each book,
Yes Id like them to be longer and a little bit more involved but at least we are starting to have a storyline to go with the mating.
There is also a series arc storyline that looks like it will keep my interest,
The characters are all pretty likeable to me, I liked Calvin in this one, and the pairing with the vampire Alesandro is great,
Looking forward to seeing where this series leads Amber Kell continues in her paranormal series this time exploring another classical hero of the genre, the vampire lover.
Calvin is a young carpenter who is working for Anthony, the architecture who is building a paranormal posh hotel, Anthony's consultant for all it's vampire is Alesandro, a fashionable and very handsome vampire, who since the first moment is attracted by Calvin, But Calvin has two reasons to avoid Alesandro's attention, one he doesn't see what a gorgeous vampire like Alesandro could see in a simple man like Calvin, and two, he has an hidden plan to kidnap Anthony.
Calvin's sister was taken in captivity by a stranger and the price for her freedom is Anthony,
In comparison to the other two books in the series, Courting Calvin is a little less sexy and a bit more simple, I think it's almost a passing book, a little step more in the series Calvin and Alesandro are side characters in the series, friends of friends, and so it's their story, almost a side story in the main series.
As always I think it has potential, but in this case the potential is more linked to the whole series than in this single story that nevertheless it's necessary you read if you want to follow the series.
And finally I have a little doubt: in book two the author says that Anthony's grandfather is Zeus in this book Anthony's grandfather is Odin, . . they are two different grandfathers, one by his mother side and one by his father side, or the author gets a bit confused Probably I have to read the following books in the series to have an answer.
sitelink amazon. com/dp/BUJRY/, . . I'm definitely liking how these books have been revised and expanded, I love the characters in this series, both the new ones and getting to see previous couples come back, I still think this moved a bit too fast, but I just love the characters which keeps me rereading these rereleased ones, . . especially Silver and Anthony, my faves, :D Calvin is a young carpenter who is working for Anthony, the architecture who is building a paranormal posh hotel, Anthony's consultant for all it's vampire is Alesandro, a fashionable and very handsome vampire who since the first moment is attracted by Calvin, But Calvin has two reasons to avoid Alesandro's attention one he doesn't see what a gorgeous vampire like Alesandro could see in a simple man like Calvin, and two, he has an hidden plan to kidnap Anthony.
Calvin's sister was taken in captivity by a stranger and the price for her freedom is Anthony, In the other two books in the series, Courting Calvin is a little less sexy and a bit more simple, REREAD NEW VERSION
Opinion on new version:
I think the previous release gets better revision this time around, Definitely NO MISTAKE of writing Odin as Anthony's grandfather like it is in old release when it is clear that it is Zeus, as mentioned in book.
As the story goes I like it more than bookand, First, because there is introduction of a threat for Moon Pack, in terms of mutant werekins, We have Calvin, a human carpenter that Anthony hires for his parabeings hotel, facing a dilemma since his sister is kidnapped and to save her, he must bring Anthony to the kidnappers.
So apart from the usual quick/instant mating, we have threat looming in the background,
Then, there is Alesandro from book, a vampire who has instant attraction to Calvin, It's nice to have another paranormal nonshifter characters into the series, AAAND, the joy of reading about Anthony, who is simply the best character :p, Love how he handles Silver, his Alpha mate,
FIRST READ : Good story
I really like Alesandro and Calvin's story, I just wish they were longer, Nice plot, love the characters, The stories and sexy and flow well, Another brick in the wall of the building mystery of the mutant Shifters, I actually like Alesandro, and I'm glad he got his own albeit brief story, WTF Voilà leème épisode de ce sympathique feuilleton fantasticoromantique, Le héros en est Calvin, un menuisier sexy qui travaille sur le chantier de l'hôtel voulu par Alesandro , le maître vampire que nous avons déjà rencontré.
Chantier dirigé par l'architecte de génie qu'est Anthony, Or Calvin est chargé d'enlever Anthony, sous la menace de mystérieux agresseurs qui détiennent sa jeune sœur en otage, Piéger l'architecte est un crèvecœur pour notre gentil menuisier, qui a d'autant plus de mal à réfléchir à la situation que c'est une autre partie de son anatomie que son cerveau qui se trouve sollicitée quand il est en présence d'Alesandro.
Lequel semble bien déterminé à en faire son quatre heure, . . ou plus si affinités,
Dans cet opus, outre la jolie et chaude romance entre Calvin et son vampire, et la résolution de la situation difficile où il se trouve, on retrouve Silver, toujours aussi bougon, possessif et protecteur et que son Anthony fait tourner en bourrique, on en apprend davantage sur les mystérieux parents de celuici et l'on découvre un nouveau danger guettant les lycans.
C'est court, sympathique, brouillon et romantique , comme les précédents opus, Un agréable moment de lecture, This one is boy!vampire meets with boy!human! Well, they're more 'men' than 'boys' but eh, You get the point. Anyway, Twilight alert!
Rest assured, though, Alessandro the Vampire is a much more charming and likable creature than Edward Cullen, I mean no offense charming vampires are okay in my book, as long as they don't glitter! So Alessandro being the notsofrightening sexy vampire lover to the guiltridden human carpernter fills me with glee.
Calvin, too, is a much more entertaining human than Bella Swan, His capacity for angst is just as big as Bella but somehow he doesn't make me want to shake him and shout at him to "grow up!" I find his predicament his sister being kidnapped by mutant wolf creatures who threaten the peace of the paranatural communities quite intriguing to read.
But the biggest draw for me from this third installment is the existence of these new mutant werewolves, I didn't see that coming because I thought this was going to be a lighthearted, happygolucky romance series, Ever since the second book, where an enemy shows up to harm Ben, I got the feeling that there was evil lurking in the background, . . but now that we can see the form that evil takes shape in, the series becomes more entertaining,
At this point, I couldn't let go of the series even if I wanted to, It's not just that the fact that main pairing trumps the Edward/Bella pairing by a thousand megawatts of thunder strike, but I love good whimsical adventure.
And this series continues to prove it has many of it, instead of just sappysmiled and doeeyed he'smymateI'mhismatelet'sgetnekkidnow romance,
