Kiss and Kin by Kinsey W. Holley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well, well, well, look what the werewolf dragged in… a quirky little romance novel for me to enjoy!
ABOUT:
Taran is an alpha shifter who’s gorgeous with a reputation as a love ’em and leave ’em type. He’s also a detective for Houston’s Shifter Investigation Unit.
Lark Manning is described as a court reporter but her career is never discussed more than as a passing comment. She seems neither passionate about it nor does it affect the plot what-so-ever. That little tid bit seemed as useful to know as her high school english test score.
Both individuals love each other but are too timid to make their feelings known. Taran’s concerns stem (mostly) from the reaction from their extended family. Although they aren’t blood relatives growing up they considered themselves cousins.
Loved the premise, enjoyed several scenes of the book but feel the author could have built in a few early chapters for more character development and turmoil. For example- perhaps a chapter from Lark’s perspective watching Taran date other women when she was younger? They characters are described as struggling with (what they perceive are) unrequited love. Alas, in “as-is” condition I’ve awarded it 4 out of 5 stars. Definitely an enjoyable, quick read but would have loved a bit more conflict to make it interesting.
