Pen the Dream : Review of "Not So Silent Night" by Kelly Ryan

What's New to Review~ Wednesday

Okay, so Christmas is over in half the world and is coming to a close here on the east coast of the USA as well. Though my post is running MUCH later than planned, it was a necessity for me to get this up. Many of you received a new tablet, e-reader, or laptop for computer, and I am here to give you some advice on what you may want to read on this quiet Christmas Night to calm your nerves, relax, and take some time for yourself. So without further ado...

Today's Tasty Bite!

Last Friday a tart little morsel was introduced into the digital world. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of "Not So Silent Night" by Kelly Ryan a few weeks ago, and I have been dying to tell you what a HOT read this is.

A short novella that took very little time to read, was so worth it! As evident by the cover, there are some real animals in this book and a few surprises as well.

While Anna spends her days in a town that inhabits werewolves, it is the visiting Russian that grabs her attention immediately. And I promise he will grab yours as well!

From the moment Alexander enters Anna's flower shop, you can feel the heat. He is something different, something she has never seen before, and something that she knows she wants.

Alexander is immediately drawn to Anna, though he doesn't understand why. Well, there's a few tricks up Anna's sleeves as well. But I won't spoil the surprise!

The verdict?

This short novel packs a hefty punch. With no holds barred sexual encounters right off the bat, and danger looming in the distance. This book will keep the heat up and going. The heroine is flawed and realistic in this paranormal world, giving her a unique perspective to events that are happening around her. The hero is almost too perfect. There really doesn't seem to be a single flaw in him at all. And though we all hope that there is that perfect man out there, it makes it hard to believe. The sex flows easily and fast. Though, I have to admit, I was a little shocked at just how quickly this couple got together. It was a little unbelievable at first. But, the author DOES make you understand why it happens and it really makes for a good back story.

Definitely one I want to recommend to those that want some heat in a short time frame and I can't wait to see if Ms. Ryan comes out with another Russian Bear Shifter novella. I'd read it!
