Book Review of Wild Thing: Animal Magnetism / Paradise / Hunter Kiss / Wild Hearts in Atlantis

AuntDi avatar reviewed on + 141 more book reviews


A paranormal romance anthology with four unconnected stories.
The first, "Animal Magnetism" by Maggie Shayne was a forgettable tale, with a minor paranormal twist, of a vet who can communicate with animals. Heavy on the sex and romance, pleasant but typical.
"Paradise" by Meljean Brook may be interesting to someone who is familiar with the series it is associated with, but I am not and found it completely confusing. Character motivations made no sense. I couldn't finish this one.
"Hunter Kiss" by Liu is a darker, harder edged story, prequel to The Iron Hunt. It is highly recommended if you are going to read this series which is less romance and more urban fantasy. This is the story of Grant and Maxine's meeting. Worth picking up this book for this story alone.
And lastly the Atlantis story from Day was surprisingly complete for a shorter story and a fun and interesting addition to her series.
