Jared was bisexual in his youth, but fell in love and married Lori. Unfortunately, their time together was short, and Jared is now living with his grief and learning how to carry on without her. He goes to the Christmas Faire in Bear Creek and is pulled on stage to do a dance with the Dancing Bears. Rowan is one of those bears, and his bear goes a little crazy when he scents Jared.
This is a low angst book, with Jared being understanding when Rowan's bear pushes, and Rowan giving Jared the time he needs. There are some s3xy scenes in here, but it is (as always) tastefully handled.
One thing I absolutely need to say - I love the amount of research that went into the pottery-making side of things. I had absolutely no idea about any of it, but I would definitely buy from Jared's store! I was honestly fascinated by it, and loved it when they could both work together.
Another great story from Mr Elliott, and definitely recommended by me.

Even though it took me a while to get into the book (hence the 6 rating) it was really interesting following the lives and struggles of each orchire woman from when they first discover their gift until they have their own daughter to carry on the line. it is amazing to see the development of so many generations of women and you end up feeling part of their story as you watch, sometimes with horror, the trials that they go through just for having the gift of magic.
It is a perfect story that shows how actions have consiquences and how much they were willing to fight for what they love.
I will not go into too much detail but surfice to say it gets more interesting the further you read and the last section of the book was by far the best.
It took me a long time to get into it however i persisted and it was totally worth it.

Well, okay, as a knockabout sci-fi adventure it is not too bad, I suppose, but very undistinguished and really lacking in its own identity. The karaoke performances of some of the cast as the original Star Trek characters are also impressively faithful. But the fact remains that while you're watching it, the only bits which carry any kind of emotional resonance are the ones inherited from previous iterations of the franchise, and you never forget that. An indifferent tribute to the original series; as a celebration of Star Trek as a whole, really poor.

Well written, good pace, great characters and a very unique story line makes this a pretty good read but it does contain a lot of violence, gore and graphic descriptions of death so be warned ... it is not for the fainthearted so if you don't like that type of thing, I would give this a wide berth if I was you.
Over the years, I have read a lot of Graham Masterton's books and I have never been disappointed and even though this probably isn't one of his best, I will carry on reading his stories and will continue to be entertained that I have no doubt.
Thank you to the publisher, Head of Zeus, via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
