1.5 rounded up and that's being generous.This was so bad on so many levels I can't even review it: the age difference, Russell's accomplishments at his young age, the almost nonexistent climax and resolution, the lack of chemistry, the tell tell tell, everything except I really like the character of Dalton. He was created in another book though. The conflict and resolution lasted like a page. This felt like a freebie type of story and the prologue, which had been produced as a freebie, was better than the rest.Come on, Stephani, you can do better.BTW, not wearing underwear isn't sexy, it's painful (unless the person is completely shaven and/or there's no zipper) and unsanitary (unless the person only wears their pants once between washings). It's even gross when the person is wearing button down jeans because the pubic hair can come through if it's long enough. I just don't get why people think it's hot. I wince every time it's mentioned. This was not one of my favorite books of the series. Again, I feel like Ms. Hecht is going back to the same recipe. Sure, if a recipe is good, you may want to make it quite often, but you can't eat it for every meal no matter how much you like it.In this book we learn more about Dalton, Shane and Trevor's ward. I think the fact that in Trevor's book, Dalton was so childish, it makes it hard to work him into a romantic relationship. I mean come on, the last time I saw him he was swinging his feet and making slurpy noises through a straw while drinking milk. MILK. I like my shifters to be men, not boys. I do like Dalton - as Shane and Trevor's son/younger brother/ward. But as an MC he just do anything for me. He's just too sticky sweet for me. It was also weird the way Russell, the bad ass rogue Wolf Alpha, admits that he usually likes his men to be men and can't figure out his attraction to the boyish Dalton. Who knows? If he can't figure it out, I certainly won't even try. I like it when badass shifters link up with other badass shifters - like Andrew and Vapor.So okay - Dalton and Russell go on some cutesy date where Russell buys him hot chocolate and falls in love. Meh.She hits the same tired points. Oh how can this Shifter ever love me when I'm so "XXX" (insert slutty, emotionless, damaged, crooked, young...blah blah).The end of the story tried to add a little twist, but that was a little predictable after we discovered in Shane's book why Dalton was being held prisoner. So we knew that was coming. So this book didn't hold anything new to me. We did meet a new shifter, Tobias, who is Russell's younger brother and runt of his litter. But honestly? Tobias was kind of a pussy. Where have all the badass shifters gone? Oh where, oh where can they be?
What do You think about Russell's Reversal (2011)?
Meh. I was kind of hoping it would be better. I liked them in the prologue story much better.
