Denying Dare by Amber Kell

I bought this series as soon as it was out, but then I stopped reading it at the third enstallment; it’s a nice series, but sincerely, they are really short stories, and very similar one with the other, so, according to me, it’s better to take a break after a bit, to better enjoy the whole.

Amber Kell plays a lot with the “tradition” of the M/M paranormal romance, even if, in this last story, both men are strong and independent, there is not the contraposition between Alpha and omega, and neither the concept of top from the bottom, something that was plenty clear in the previous story.

At first I had the feeling that Dare, the werecat bartender of the private club where all the previous characters gravitate was pretty and cute, but as soon as he is faced with the chance to mate with his partner, then he comes out as a very strong white tiger that practivally drags Steven into his lair. Not that Steven resists… aside from a weak excuse about a difference in breed, Dare is a werecat, Steven is a werewolf, as soon as they are alone in a bedroom, he is ready to drop all resistance.

Probably to enjoy this story you don’t have to try to understand Steven or Dare’s reason to not being a couple, since they are pretty inconsistent, and no one care for them, not Steven or Dare, but neither Anthony, the Alpha mate of the pack, who wants for Steven to mate with Dare so that both his friend than his pack member will be happy. There is no conflict, no fight, and as soon as the mating is concluded, Steven becomes more possessive and irrational of what Dare had ever been.
