Honey, I Shrunk The Werewolf (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Reviewed by Shannon and Sarah H.Book provided by the publisher for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookShannon’s Review: Crosby has amnesia. He doesn’t know who he is or that he’s even a werewolf. Ella, the beautiful, snarky woman who claims to be his babysitter, says he has to come home with her so she can help him deal with his amnesia and the ins and outs of being a werewolf. Even with his amnesia, he knows there’s something about Ella that he craves.Ella, rushes to Crosby’s aide when she hears he’s been hurt and without his memory. She agrees to a deal with the Pack if she helps them out with the Crosby situation. She’s just not sure how she’s going to deal with the amnesiac Crosby. He may not remember her or the events of the past six months, but she does…painfully. But Crosby has a way of breaking down her barriers, especially when he’s laughing and turning the charm on her and acting very much like the man she fell in love with all those years ago.This was an engaging, laugh-out-loud short story that left you truly wishing there was more to Crosby and Ella’s story. Ella and Crosby’s chemistry grabs you right from the very beginning and has you hoping they find their way back to a happily ever after.Sarah’s Review: Honey I Shrunk the Werewolf is a fast paced, sexy, funny story about a guy and a girl who had a communication issue. Ella is funny and strong willed but jumped the gun too quickly and didn’t give Crosby a chance to tell his side of the situation. Crosby is definitely someone I’d want to get to know better. He’s sexy, kind hearted and loyal to the bone. The chemistry between Ella and Crosby is hella hot and not corny at all. I like the idea of @Hairofthedog as well – she really had no clue. The mystery/action element to the story is written well also. I like Cassidy’s snarky attitude when writing female protagonists. I also think she has a awesomely wicked sense of humor in her stories. The story is easy to read, fast paced and very enjoyable. This book was a snark lover's wet dream! I honestly picked this bad boy up because I have heard all kinds of wonderful things about Dakota Cassidy from Author's After Dark 2011. This book makes me realize that I missed out by not stalking her earlier. Her voice in this book rings loud and clear with a heavy dose of Grade A Smartass. It was fabulous. I was laughing, snorting, and all other kinds of odd noises that had my children giving me that "Mom is Crazy" look. Then I got to some spectacular smexy scenes and had to shift positions to remain decent for public viewing. This is the story of a werewolf who has to care for her amnesia-ridden soon to be ex-husband by the pack counsel. (I will pause and let that sink in.)This is a novella-length book that I feel works very well with a story where the characters have a lot of history. Ella and Crosby take us on a hell of a ride as Crosby remembers who he is and Ella tries desperately to keep his hands off of what used to be his. The author has a couple of abrupt scene shifts that were so perfectly timed that I felt like applauding. A favorite quote..."Our relationship was like Chernobyl and the Titanic mated and had evil twins." Basically this book is funny, snarky, smutty fun at it's best. Read it. You will end the book with a smile on your face. 5 stars.
