Book Review: Fated Nights, by Wolf Specter / Rosa Swann

fated nights coverAbout the book:
Three book bundle, enjoy all Rosa Swann’s series’ first books in ONE SET!!

Feathers and Microphones #1
Florian, fallen angel and now part-time bartender, and Seth, an up and coming rock star, both want the same out of their one night stand.

Only, the next morning leaves them yearning for each other even more and, after some fun in the kitchen, things turn complicated.

Seth wears the brand of a demon and Florian is not sure he can get involved with someone who made a pact with a demon, again.

Party at the Lunar Pack (Lunar Pack #1)
Roy never thought that one party with his sexy new neighbours would turn his whole life upside down!

Roy’s life exists of work, dinner and sleep, boring. His friends are getting married, or having kids, and he sits home alone, too focused on his job to have much of a social life, let alone a love life.

Then he finds a letter on the doormat, an invitation to a housewarming party next door. There he meets Clyde and Sam, they seem interested in him as more than just neighbours, and definitely ready to explore if that interest is mutual.

But why does he feel like there is more going on between the three of them? And why are Clyde and Sam acting all weird the next morning?

Omega’s Fate (Mated to the Alpha #1)
The Mating Ball used to be a yearly event where bachelor Alpha werewolves meet potential mates, but now it’s a party mostly used to hook up with as many people as you can.

Ethan, one of the humans hired to entertain the werewolves, goes into the event with only one expectation: getting paid for having fun. The prospect of maybe meeting an Alpha female is only a bonus.

Max, a successful Alpha, has been getting pressure from all sides to settle down and prove his Alpha genes. Two problems: he doesn’t believe that the Mating Ball works and he is only interested in men.

Once there, he meets Ethan, who catches his attention immediately, but the man insists that he isn’t gay, or interested in Max.

As the ball comes to an end, the two men can no longer deny their attraction and take off together. Only to wake up to a very special surprise.

Review:

This anthology contains three stories, one by Wolf Specter and two by Rosa Swan. However, comparing the writing, I have a strong suspicion these are the same author. Which is fine; everyone’s welcome to a pen name or two, and I could be wrong, of course. But it seems worth noting that if you do or don’t like one, you’re likely to feel the same about the other. I did.

One should probably also note that while this appears to be a collection of stories (I downloaded it thinking books, so imagine my disappointment), it’s actually three first parts in SERIALS, so don’t expect any conclusions anywhere in evidence. There aren’t any. I feel very very strongly that serials should be labeled as such, so I was a little ragey to find a whole book of them and no label anywhere in evidence. (We’re told ‘first in series’ but not serials. These are different.) Readers should be able to make an informed decision about what they read, and being denied pertinent information is rude, if not dishonest.

Despite my serious disappointment in what this book contains (or doesn’t) I did give each story a solid chance to impress me. They failed.
