Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole
2.0
—A CRANKY OLD SELFISH LYKAE BEING GRANTED THINGS HE DOESN’T DESERVE.
SUMMARY :
Bowen MacRieve, a tough Highland werewolf, and Mariketa, a kickass young witch, are sworn enemies with a serious grudge. But guess what? Sparks fly when they get up close and personal. Bowen, once a stone-cold warrior, can't resist Mariketa's hot touch. As they face dark forces together, their fiery connection grows. The big question: Will Mari give in to Bowen's demands for body and soul, or is she ready to risk it all for her fierce protector?
CHARACTERS :
I loved how Mariketa stayed strong despite life's letdowns, always holding onto hope. Joining the Hie to unveil her true potential, she aimed to prove she's worth the wait. What puzzled me was why she assumed the worst about her parents. Being a witch, she could've unraveled the truth sooner, especially with good memories with them. It seemed like she could've figured it out independently if she tried hard enough.
Bowen turned out to be one of the worst characters ever – a selfish, old, and cranky Lykae. I didn't see that coming, considering I felt sorry for him in the last book as he fought tooth and nail for his mate. Now, it's clear it wasn't about her, but his own loneliness. Which he further proves by going from hating Mariketa to wanting her in his bed, only because he believes she might be his mate's reincarnation. Honestly, he just disgusts me.
ROMANCE :
Bowen's just after Mariketa for his own selfish desires, thinking she can fulfill his needs better than his dead mate. And if that doesn't gross you out, he tries to turn her into a breeding machine right out of the gate. Talk about messed up! Bowen's as selfish as they come, trying to use Mariketa for pleasure and kids, not giving a damn about her feelings. I couldn’t get why Mariketa was into him – but I got my answer eventually. So I guess she's stuck with him now, even though she deserves so much better. Also Bowen didn’t deserve the multiple chances she gave him, I mean the least he could do was tell Mariketa why he loved her.
