evalangui.livejournal.comTitle: Rescuing James
Author: Aska J Naiman
Format: Novel
Length: 47k
Status: Complete
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Dubcon, shifters, werewolves, homophobic society
Link: Published on smashwords, Amazon. Now also on nook and on Scribd.
Summary: James has left behind the ranch and his werebear pack for the big city. He wants to be more than his instincts. He wants more of life than the peace of the mountains broken only by the exhilaration of the hunt. But when a lost were, just bitten, crosses his path, he realises that there is nowhere he can escape his wildest side.
This man could enough for man and bear, if he wants to be.
Review:
The MC, James, was born a werebear in a werebear family, who for obvious reasons lives in the countryside. A few years before the story starts James left them to go to college and hasn’t been back since for fear that he won’t be able to leave again. So he’s stuck in the city, with a job he loves and little else and hasn’t transformed into a bear in a good long while, which is making him a bit irritable. Cue this were kid showing up, no idea what kind of were he is, he has apparently survived by chance since he was bitten and he could smell James’ scent and knew he was a were too.
James gets him off the street STAT because bitten shifters can be dangerous if not trained properly (just imagine tomorrow you get the ability to turn into a lion, you wouldn’t know what to do with the claws or the fact that you want to eat your pets now). He doesn’t really like it when his mom tells him the only solution is to form a psychic bond with the guy and let him see how James controls his own animal self because last time James did something like that, it did not end that well.
James isn’t happy about the invasion of his mind, the guy isn’t happy about the sex necessary to get it done (here is where the con is dubious, but more in a “aliens made them do it” way.) There’s also the fact that James needs to find the were who bit his new lover and make sure he’s taken care of by his pack so he doesn´t try and kill/bite more people and that his lover is not happy to get his ex in trouble for a number of reasons.
Things that might appeal: Hurt/comfort, animal transformations, possessiveness, some D/s dynamics in the bedroom only, psychic bonds, knotting.
While the book is in pre-order, I will be giving out some free copies (in shameless hope of reviews ;p). Goodreads reviews are good, for example.
