Just One Bite by Nora Snowdon

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Due to Winter Storm Nathaniel, I noped out of work today. That allowed me to spend the morning reading Just One Bite by Nora Snowdon. This is the first installment in the "Dances With Werewolves" series of paranormal romance.

Rosie and her BFF, Eva, work for a talent agency. While at a bar one evening, Rosie meets the man of her dreams. They share one dance, which leaves her longing for more. When Rosie encounters Lucas again, they have dinner out and sex in. Lucas seems too good to be true, and Rosie can't help but wonder what he sees in her.

Lucas can't forget about the human woman he met at a bar, nor can he seem to stay away from her. As a werewolf, he knows that mating with humans is not allowed. His parents keep pushing him to marry a nice werewolf and produce pups, but Lucas has fallen head over tail for Rosie.

The machinations of a jealous rival push them apart, but when the rival resorts to violence, the unintended consequences may bring Rosie and Lucas together again...if only Rosie can accept all of Lucas and if his family can welcome her into the pack.

A cute and lighthearted read. Characterizations were done well for a novella, including the not-so-savory character(s). The relationship was somewhat rushed, but that's not unexpected for this length story.

Favorite line: "You know, at least half of the couples on the dance floor wouldn't even like each other if they were sober."

I hesitate to give this an average rating, but there was nothing remarkable about it; therefore, three stars it is.
