Hot Wolf in the City by Honey Phillips

3 Stars

Working 9-to-5 has never been this wild!

Desperate for a fresh start, Julie jumps at a chance to work for the boss of TalkToMe, the country’s fastest growing social network. The job's location, the enigmatic Monster Island, only adds to its appeal - she won’t be tempted to make another foolish mistake.

She didn’t expect her new boss to be the hottest, most tantalizing man she’s ever met - even if he does growl his orders and has an oddly arousing habit of sniffing her.

Derek might be a werewolf residing in the heart of Monster Island, but he sees himself as a businessman rather than a monster. Until his new assistant arrives, awakening all of his most primitive instincts.

He knows she’s human. He knows she’ll never stay. But the need to claim her is growing stronger every day…

Can Julie resist the primal allure of her werewolf boss, or can a beauty really love a beast?

Solid read. Nothing earth shattering happens. Wish there was more world building and character development as it was lacking. I wanted more history with Derek and Julie. The insta love was expected. If you’ve read her other books this lines up with them. It’s part of a multi-author series and I am curious about the other books to see if some of my issues are fleshed out.

Anna and the Alien by Honey Phillips

 

2 Star

Anna just wanted a vacation from life not to be kidnapped by aliens and forced to help an injured alien. When the ship they are on crash lands on a strange planet she’s forced to work with and trust the injured alien in hopes of making it home to earth. Jakkar was on a mission to find a new planet for his people when he was taken and imprisoned. He’s forbidden from mating with someone outside his race but when he meets Anna he can’t walk away. Can the survivors find safety and happiness on this new planet?

I have never been so happy to read a series out of order than I was with this book. Hanna in the hitman was free which is why I read that first, loved it, and then I went back to read this one. I figured that if I liked Hanna, I would like this one and I did not. I struggled to finish it and if I’d started with this book, I’d never would have read Hanna and the Hitman.  I didn’t like Jakkar was up until the very end of the book I can’t be with Anna. Nothing is worth losing my people for but he won’t stay away from her. Every time he does this it hurts Anna. I like a good dark or bully romance, but this was just cruel. It literally took his best friend telling him she would be worth being outcast for him to get it through his thick skull. She of course felt it was perfectly fine to forgive him instantly. This makes me sad because it was an interesting take on space aliens. Since I liked the 8th one, I'm going to try to read the 2^nd-7^th ones to see if they get better as she writes more.

Hanna and the Hitman by Honey Phillips

 

4 Star

Hanna's been kidnapped from Earth and is now being treated like a performing animal. Kept on display in seedy bar in a cage she wants out. The help comes from an unexpected source, an alien warrior. Aidon  frees her but isn't sure what to do with her. He knows he needs to get out of the bar and off planet. How he will do this he's not sure or what to do with this strange female. The more time they spend together the less he wants to part with her but his planet is dangerous. Will he keep her?

The story was predictable but hit all the right notes for me. I liked gruff Aidon and Hanna never gave up even though she had been given a crappy situation. I liked the dynamics between them and that ultimately Hanna just wanted him. It was a super quick read.
