Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Werewolves of Manhattan collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. 

I started reading romance stories at the age of twelve and was always intrigued by the worlds that authors can come up with. Then a few years ago I read my first gay romance and I decided that there was just something about them that I liked more. For me a good paranormal love story with passion, fire, danger and trouble are a good hit. A.C. Katt gives me that type of story. They are fresh and very unique. The plots and story line are top rate and always keeps my attention from start to finish. 

There is just something about the worlds that she creates that keeps me captivated throughout the whole entire book. So much so that when a new book comes out, I must always start reading the very first book that leads up to this one. I love how there is a serious tone to it, but that it is equally matched with humor. I can’t stand a book that has no humor in it; I would rather be laughing then just sitting there. I also love how the mates are well loved and protected by their stronger mates. 

Julio was just fourteen when his life changed. His parents were killed and he was sent off to a group home for boys. The home was filled with angry teens who just loved to mess with the ones that came in. Julio was a prime target because not only was he gay but he was very fem. He took off to avoid being raped, only to end up with a man that was sadistic and cruel. Once he managed to escape, he had figured the only way he would survive was to be his own independent prostitute. Saving another led him to friends who got him out and led him onto the path that would give him the greatest rewards.

Etienne is an alpha who has found his mate. However someone from Julio’s past arises and almost cost him his life. Etienne needs to protect his mate, but it might also cause a war that could cost them everything.

To me there is nothing better than a good romance, but when it is a paranormal then it hits higher marks to me. I love them especially when there are some gorgeous men in some kinky situations. I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series that you can’t put down and have to read more than once. It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story.

I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story.

Review:  Each book in the Werewolves of Manhattan collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.   

This story was meant to be a branch off from the Werewolves of Manhattan, but it is not to be.  Our very lovely Ms. Katt passed away after writing it, so it is to be the end of this amazing series.  

Frank’s stepfather is what one call’s a mob boss, and Frank didn’t want anything to do with him.  However he had to serve ten years for the man after college, but that time was almost up.  The problem was he couldn’t get a job with his last name.  That is until  Rene’s alpha offered him a position with them.  Too bad he hadn’t know that werewolves had existed till now, think of the shock on his face.

Rene is a strong beta for the alpha’s and would be the second to find his mate.  He just hadn’t known what to expect from Frank’s stepfather.  Things are about to get interesting for these two. I would give you a bit more, but you really should read this book.

As I said before this was meant to be a new start, but is a bittersweet ending to an amazing series.  It is entertaining and just about hot as can be.  Frank was a big surprise for me.  I expected tough, macho and rough around the edges.  However he is one of the sweetest guys I have seen.  He was a big hit with me and I would have loved to hear more.  

I loved reading it and can guarantee that it will be read more than once.  It is just one of those stories that will keep you entertained and falling in love.  I would definitely recommend it and the previous books.

Review:  Each book in the Werewolves of Manhattan collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.  

I have come across a few stories in which it is imperative that one reads the previous stories in a series, otherwise it can be a bit confusing.  It has been some time since I have read a book in this series, so I had to do a little catching up.  It is a very entertaining story, but the omegas are the true characters in this story.  

Henri is the last of the alphas in their group to find his mate; he just had not expected him to show up at one of the other’s weddings.  Vitas is in need of care, and Henri will do everything to keep him safe.

Vitas had been held hostage by the alpha in Russia, along with his parents.  They had tried to protect him and get him to America, but it was all in vain.  Now they had been killed in front of him, and he was tortured every day.  He was an omega wolf, but his body thought he was now human.  Chernof’s own people decided to help him get out, but he had not expected to find his mate.  He wished for it and even dreamed about it, but never expected it.  His gift is a very strong one that anyone would want to use.  His mate must protect him at all cost.

This is a very entertaining story that will keep your attention from the moment you start reading.  There are a few little errors that I found but that is about all.  It just needed a better proof reader to find it.  I got a kick out of it, and will say that the alpha’s mates are a kicker.  I think they make the story just a bit more fun.  It has a serious tone to it, but there is quite a bit of humor that mixes just perfect for the story to rock.

I can’t wait to start reading the next story.  This is one series that I would definitely recommend.

Review: Each book in the Werewolves of Manhattan collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.  

I have been reading romance and paranormal’s for over 30 years and can honestly say that I love a good paranormal romance more than any other kind of story.  It was not until 5 years ago that I started read m/m romance stories.  There is just something about the worlds created in them that seem more attractive to me. So over the years you come to cherish and love certain authors more than many others.  It is the way they tell a story that will have you wishing you were right there with them.  And sometimes you wished you were the one falling in love 

Tis author’s characters are quirky as hell, protective to the point of well you can guess that answer.  I still have my ultimate favorite ones but many start to work their way into my heart.  Her stories also are full of action, suspense and danger plus some hot sexy time for our guys.  They catch my attention the moment I start reading and keep it all the way to the very last word.  This story gave me everything I could ask for in a story and so much more.

Richard has got to be one of the smartest men I have ever seen.  Things in his life have not always been easy.  His best friend had disappeared when he was a small child after his parents were killed.  He lost both his father and mother to illness.  Then when the company he worked for wouldn’t listen to the dangers of one of his designs, he was fired for blowing the whistle on the dangers.  Now he is working at a store and bartending to make ends meet, as well as paying on his student loans.  To top it off a mob guy from Serbia has his eye on him.  Things are not looking up.  That is until someone connected to his dear friend finds him.

Now here he is with a job at Garou Industires and living with a very sexy man.  Things might just be going good for him.  That is until the Serbian is killed and the cop is trying to frame him.  Let’s see how Julien and the other wolves protect him; well you are just going to have to read this book to find out more.

I love how it has that serious tone to it but there is a bit of humor in it that your attention is captivated throughout it all. I loved the cover and that was what caught my attention first.  I just can’t seem to get enough of this series. There is something about the way that A.C. Katt tells you a story more than likely have you laughing your ass off at parts of it. 

It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book. I can honestly tell you that this is going to be one of those types of series. One that I will have to read over and over. I love the way all the feelings they felt was involved in this story. It was the perfect story for me and I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next story.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Werewolves of Manhattan collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

Even though I have all of the books in this series, this is the first one I have had a chance to read and I have to say that it rocked. Now, I must admit there are some issues that were driving me nuts about it. But, not enough to take away from the story. My attention was caught from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. I will warn you though that if you have issues with rape or gang rape, then you will not want to read this story.

Kane is what one calls a human Omega, which means he is very special to those around him. He has such strong faith and an amazing sense of honor about him. He had stood up to a coach who was nothing more than a bully, and it almost cost him his life. He was rescued by an Alpha and brought back to the Alpha’s home to heal.

Gabriel is the Alpha in Manhattan and has found his mate. A mate that had been brutally raped and beaten by five men. He knows that it will take time to form the bond, because his mate was terrified of being touched. With the help of other Alpha-mates, Kane has a chance to not only heal, but to find true love with a mate that loves him.

Now my only true issues with this is after the rape. Kane is more worried about his papers then acting like a rape victim. But then again, victims never act the same so it didn’t take away from the story at all. Also they were very affectionate, but maybe too affectionate in a way. The Alphas are strong, but they are all wealthy, sweet, caring and powerful wolves. But, there is just something off about them, also.

Also, this story comes off more like being told than actually showing me what it is about. It is also a bit over doing on some spots and too much like other scenes in a way. A.C. Katt’s stories are very unique, complex in parts but is also a bit off.

However although it feels like this, the story to me rocked. My attention never wavered from the story at all. I enjoyed it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Review: Sean is a young art student almost done with college when he tells his father he is gay. He is thrown out of his house and has little money to survive on. Finally forced to make a hard choice one night Sean and his friend Leroy are walking when a man who is known in the area as dangerous kills Leroy in front of Sean. Sean running away from the man stops the car that carries Armand. Armand is a 150-year-old werewolf and the head Alpha of North America. He immediately recognizes Sean as his destined mate.

Due to the mate bond between Sean and Armand, they start to fall in love right away. Armand makes Sean feel safe for the first time in his life. While their relationship is growing, there is also the worry about the man who killed Sean’s friend. He is also a werewolf that was already kicked out of his pack in Russia because of rape charges, and Sean is just his type. Now Armand has to do all in his power to keep his mate safe, especially when it is learned he is an Omega with a powerful gift. Something any Alpha would want.

I wanted to love this book absolutely. The concept and the back-story about werewolves are awesome. I loved the MCs and the secondary characters. There are great moments in the story that I liked. However, several editing errors kept drawing me out of the story. There were things like extra words or missing words altogether, and a few other things that I noticed. Some of the dialogue in the love scenes was a bit overdone in my opinion as well. There seemed to be something missing. Maybe as if, parts were rushed in a way. I just can’t put my finger on it.

But wait… there are several redeeming qualities to the story outside of the editing issues and seeming a bit rushed. The whole world that the author has created is very interesting and I do want to read more about it. Several scenes are funny as hell. Like when Sean takes the super rich Armand to Costco and a few other stores for shopping. That had me cracking up. They are definitely from two different worlds but the two MCs balance each other out. Sean is the peacemaker while Armand can be quick to anger. Sean may be submissive to a degree but he has no problem stepping in to calm Armand down and make his point.

So yes, this book is not perfect, but it is still worth a read. I look forward to more in the series.
