Wolf and Bare It by Anne MarshMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book via the author and Smartypants Romance, all opinions are my own.
This is the second book in the Wolf Brothers series and is a reimagining of the Winston Brother's series by Penny Reid with a paranormal twist. This is a reimagining of Grin and Beard It, and if you have read the original series you will notice similarities between the characters and settings. Marsh has done a good job making Moonlight Valley and the characters uniquely her own while keeping true to the source material that we all know and love from Penny. This can be read as a standalone.
This follows Sonnet, a successful actress and writer who also happens to be part Fae and part witch. She is in Moonlight Valley to shoot her latest TV series when she runs into the charming, bearded professor Maverick Boone. Maverick has a shady past, but he has cleaned up his act and has spent the last 5 years atoning for his past mistakes. Did I mention he's a werewolf? He and Sonnet immediately hit it off and quickly learn about each other's paranormal secret. Neither wants to upset each other's life, but they can't deny their feelings for one another. I enjoyed watching how that played out as they navigate small town life and Hollywood's expectations.
My biggest issue with this book is that it is far too long. It is over 550 pages, I prefer my romances to be under 400. I had the same issue with book one, it was too long. There are long periods where the plot isn't moving forward or the focus isn't on Sonnet and Maverick and I found myself losing interest. I did enjoying getting to know the other Boone siblings and I expect that the author will continue moving forward with retelling each of their stories in the future. I thought Sonnet and Maverick had great banter back and forth, which I love in a book. I look forward to seeing how she reimagines each of the Winston's as Boone's and their lady loves.
