Merissa (12911 KP) rated Cut to the Chase (City Shifters: the Pride #4) in Books

Jun 8, 2023

This is the fourth book in the City Shifters series, but I agreed to read and review after being assured that it could be read as a standalone. I agree with that statement, but I do feel that you would gain the most from reading the prior books, simply because it sounds like they are all good stories!

Ruby is the joint alpha, along with her brother Rafe, of one of the two wolf packs in town. When the alpha of the other pack approaches her with a business/personal proposition, she is taken aback. She speaks to Carter, a friend of the pack and a lion shifter himself, and he offers an alternative - one she had never thought of. Ruby is all about the pack, but nothing apart from that is mentioned. The pack doesn't play a big part in this book as all the action is between Ruby and everyone else. It alludes that Carter is in to light BDSM, but this is not mentioned in detail, rather it fades to black.

This book is told both from the first perspective (Ruby) and third (Carter), so it is obvious from the start of each chapter who is 'talking'. Well-written, with developed characters and situations, and with no editing or grammatical errors that I could see, this was a thoroughly enjoyable paranormal romance. Definitely recommended.

* I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review. *

Absolute garbage. This novel is everything I loathe about romance: flat characters who clearly shouldn't be together, and a nonexistent plot. The male is the stereotypical, dime a dozen cold Alpha males who can't have emotions because of reason. The female was the stereotypical down on her luck girl next door who always gets the short end of the stick. There was nothing about either that made them special and the conversation made me want to slam my head repeatedly against a wall. And then she becomes pregnant, and the already bad story goes downhill.

I am glad it was free because I would have be furious had I paid money for this. I am already annoyed that I wasted the time reading it.
