Review: Dead and Loving It by MaryJanice Davidson

Dead and Loving It by MaryJanice Davidson
My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

-Santa Claws (originally published in Naughty or Nice anthology)
-Monster Love
-There's No Such Thing as Werewolves (originally published in Lighthearted Lust: Three Not So Serious Tales anthology)
-A Fiend in Need


The queen of comic, erotic, other-species romance brings her best setups and hottest sex scenes to this four-novella party. Three of them feature the bad Wyndham werewolves, who find unanticipated love with often reluctant earthlings. 



In "Santa Claws," Alec Kilcurt, the most powerful werewolf in Europe, falls for Santa-clad Giselle Smith and wins her over with lots of oral sex and a heavy Scottish accent. In "Monster Love," bad-tempered Janet Lupo is kidnapped by a sexy werewolf. Then there's the story of Doctor Drake Dragon and his unusual encounter with Crescent. Finally, following the events of Undead and Unreturnable, a psychic werewolf, Antonia Wolfton, receives a vision to show up at Queen Betsy's Minneapolis home to help and falls hard for George, the fiend in the basement. It's all pure Davidson fun. Ginger Curwen

My Thoughts:

This book is book 5 in the Wyndham Werewolf series and book 4.5 in the Undead series. In this book, there are 4 different stories so I will try to separate them for you.

1.  Santa Claws
Alec is a werewolf and he meets Giselle, who is a regular human. Alec is intrigued by Giselle right away, which makes Giselle a bit wary of him. There are quite a few funny moments in this book. Despite the shortness of it, it is a good story.

2. Monster Love
Richard (a vampire) meets Janet (a werewolf) and they schedule a date. Her boss (the pack leader, Michael) insists on a meeting immediately. She doesn't have enough time to leave a note for Richard. Richard (who doesn't know she is a werewolf) thinks she is afraid of him and running away. Things get a bit carried away. An enjoyable short read and briefly mentions Alec & Giselle from the 1st story.

3. There's No Such Thing As A Werewolf
Drake is a blind werewolf. At least until he meets Crescent. This is a fast moving, short story that will keep you enthralled until the end. There is an appearance of Richard & Janet from the previous story. Crescent's story is a bit of a surprise but I won't spill the beans. Read the story and you will find out.

4. A Fiend in Need
A misfit werewolf (Antonia) who can't change and sees visions. Then throw in some vampires from the Undead series and you got a wonderful story line.

I loved each and every one of these stories. I love how the author tied her two series together. The fact that characters from the one story appeared in the next was a nice surprise. Both of these series are on my TBR list so I will eventually get them all read.
