Beowulf And Roxie-Wulf's Den 1 (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Roxie is once again dragged out to a club by her outgoing friend and just sits sipping on her wine until she can duck out without being thought of as ditching her friend. While sitting alone she makes eye contact with the hot bartender and feels an odd attachment, but of course makes a fool of herself and doesnt trust their strong seeming connection. She tries to avoid him but of course he seeks her out endlessly and she gives in slowly but surely, of course her friend's pushing her into it helps a bit. Beowulf happens to be the Alpha werewolf of a pack but hasnt quite told Roxie and is surprised to become mated to a human. To complicate matters his enemy is lurking nearby seeing Roxie as a way to get at him, and the old Alpha turned lone wolf seems to have quite an interest in Roxie as well.This book was pretty cool. Liked the turn of events with her quite a bit. She is pretty kick ass at the end. Was a bit annoyed that she just forgave some of Beowulf's crap though, but guess that just goes with the territory of that whole mate storyline. Cant wait to see which wolf next falls prey to the whole mate deal So right now I'm very pleased that this was a book I got during a giveaway month because I'd be Super Cranky if I'd paid for it.I only managed to get to the halfway mark before giving up because I wanted to hit all of the characters. I read the last 3 pages to see if I should struggle through and I'm glad I saved my time.Roxie- so very dumb. She'd have these moments of getting irritated at The Hero's arrogance or think things like "hey this strange guy has my keys, I should get the locks changed" or "what do you mean you're 1400 years old and I'm mortal? so you get to live forever while I get older and die? That sucks" and never carry it through because she'd get distracted by something shiny. Mostly the hero's penis. Beowulf- what a freaking jerk. "I'm not going to let the fact that Roxie is an autonomous adult that's never given over complete control of her life to me get in the way of completely taking over her life. Also I will repeatedly not tell her things she needs to know because it's awkward and might get in the way of boning her." That's pretty much his entire thought pattern. Roxie's parents- not only not telling her critical info she needs to know but lying to her about it, in a way likely to get her killed. The Best Friend- can't remember her name but given her response to 'he won't listen to me, just breaks into my house and kidnaps me' is "well what did you do that made him think this was his only choice" I think I blocked her out on purpose. Plot? Who knows. Girl meets freakishly large Boy, he's a secret werewolf, there's some really stupidly tenuous attempt to tie into the Beowulf saga that falls horribly flat, she develops magic powers just in time to save the day. It was just a big mess. And dear god, as a short girl who's dated some really tall guys ENOUGH with the 6'7" guys who are built like fridges already. The mechanics of banging when there's a massive height difference is fraught with difficulties that authors never seem to consider.
