Bride of the Wolf Hqn Susan Krinard 9780373774777 Books

Holden is a great character, as is Joey, Gavin, and Rachel, though I was disappointed in the villain compared to most of Krinard's villains. Still an interesting story and I still loved it. Always emotional rollercoaster with her books, simply great.

Bride of the Wolf Hqn Susan Krinard 9780373774777 Books Reviews

Disappointed is the only word I can use to describe this book. The beginning of the book was disjointed and the pacing was irregular due to page after page of introspection on the part of the hero. Consequently, I felt impatient for the start of the `real' story to smooth things out and it simply never happened.

After reading a third of the book I'd yet to see anything remotely heroic about the hero. The author reiterates over and over how everyone thinks he hates women without ever giving the reader any clues as to why. This causes him to comes off as a rude, ignorant jerk. Other than his desire to take care of the infant that had been thrust upon him there's simply nothing to like.

As for the heroine, more of the same. The only thing the reader knows is that both the hero and heroine have Very Bad Things in their past and if they are found out then Even Worse Things will happen. The lack of foreshadowing combined with the sketchy setup was enough to make to make me put the book down but wait, this author had one more doozy in store for me.

The hero assists in a difficult delivery of a foal and the babe has one leg bent preventing it from entering the birth canal. The hero adjusts the foal's leg and according to the author "Next time she pushed, her water broke, and foal began to slide out..." At this point, after several hours of labor and the hero messing with the foal's leg, her water would be broken.

Ms. Krinard, you are far too talented to be making these kind of mistakes. You are one of my favorite authors but your last two books have been disappointing and I doubt that I'll be tempted to pick up your next one. ~ Cerise, ireadromance dot com

Rachel Lyndon has made some mistakes in her past. She hopes to start fresh when she heads to Texas to marry a man she's never met, who promises to take care of her and be a good husband. When she arrives her husband is gone and no one knows when he will be back, or do they?

Heath Renier, AKA Holden Renshaw has a secret. He's a wolf shifter accused of killing his previous employer. He has made a new life for himself in Texas as ranch foreman for the kindly Jed McCarrick. However, he cannot reveal what he really is for fear he will lose the respect of the people he cares about. The last thing he expected was to find Jed dead, and soon thereafter, have Jed's mail-order bride arrive.

Holden takes it upon himself to protect Rachel from Sean, Jed's nephew, who will do just about anything to ensure he inherits the ranch. Things are complicated by the arrival of a woman with a near newborn baby who is Holden's son. Life on the ranch is far from safe, but can Holden and Rachel find happiness... and maybe love... in the midst of danger?

I enjoy Susan Krinard's writing, though I've not read her in several years. I've fallen behind on so many series that keeping up with Krinard's releases has been difficult. I do love her shape shifters, however Bride of the Wolf seemed slower going than what I remember of previous books by the author. We'll have stretches of peace and not much happening for a while, then a surprise or action will be tossed into the mix to liven things up for a short while. I think there was too much introspection from Rachel and Holden to really keep the story exciting and moving swiftly, even with the action segments.

I enjoyed watching Holden and Rachel dance around their feelings for each other, as they tried to resist the obvious attraction they share. This was further complicated by their fears of what people would think, knowing that Holden's employer was Rachel's intended husband and Holden and Rachel's growing feelings were a betrayal of the man. Then there is the fact that both Rachel and Holden have deep seated fears of what the revelations about their respective pasts would do to their affection, and the opinions of the townspeople and ranch workers.

I think though my favorite character was young Joey, a boy who works the ranch with Holden and absolutely adores him. Joey is torn between becoming the man he wants to be, just like Holden, and the awkwardness and worries of a young boy who is not yet a man. Joey's character was perfectly rendered and Susan Krinard really shows what it's like for a boy like Joey. Sean, too could have been an intriguing character, in spite of his villainous ways, but instead he came across to me as too much of a caricature.

While I don't believe Bride of the Wolf is one of Susan Krinard's better books, it was still an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading more of her books.

I got to page 185 and I just couldn’t go on anymore. Honestly, a great plot idea, the characters were a good idea too but the execution of it is what really threw me off.

This is the sixth book in the series, the only reason I got it instead of the first book is because I saw it in a free bin at a discount book store and I liked the cover. The teaser on the back also sounded good so, I added it to my TBR pile.

There wasn’t any excitement and it was taking way too long to get anywhere. Even though it’s called Bride of the Wolf it didn’t really focus on the wolf part, just the two characters trying not to show emotion to each other. While that’s good in context, if it focuses just on that and it takes you a couple of chapters to get where you’re going, it just makes for a boring story.

I can’t even imagine what the first book is like, unless it’s really good and the writing just got tired.

Maybe if it was set in a more modern time or it didn’t stick to the mundane and highlighted upon the wolf aspect of it or it was more fast paced, I felt like I was fighting my way through sand, it would be better.

I’ve never really connected to historical stories though, it’s just so slow. I don’t know who I would recommend this too, especially since I didn’t finish it.
This novel seemed very junvinal to me. Was not nearly as well written as others by this author. Perhaps it was because of the publisher.
