After the Storm by Maya Banks

2.0

This was really close to a DNF read. I had liked books previously in the series, but this one seemed to be written by a completely different person. It was super saccharine to the point of cheese and disbelief. Donovan moves his relationship with this poor, shell-shocked, exhausted, and traumatized woman at WARP SPEED. Donovan talks so much about how he's the brother of the family who has always wanted a family of his own--more so than his brothers--and yet he's one of the last to get hitched... It almost read to me like he had found a girl who was sufficient and just went for it. I didn't really feel much chemistry between the two, and I just couldn't suspend my disbelief enough to believe he fell in love with her THAT quickly. I was on his brothers' side: Donovan wanted these three people because it was a ready-made family who needed him. Signed, sealed, delivered, they're yours.

Pass. Disappointing installment to kind of a weird series. (Paranormal elements, rough violent issues, etc etc.)
