Chloe Williams has waited four long years for her mate to
acknowledge her. She had heard all his excuses; she's too
young being his main problem ... even after she is
hospitalized from a beating that left her recovering with
lingering after effects he turned away. The only way she
can go on is by being patient and waiting for his wolf to
teach him a lesson ... the one that says mating for a wolf
is
more than a FIGURE OF SPEECH it is a lifetime of love.
Dr. James Woods, veterinarian had been attacked and forced
into a wolf. His mating instincts is there but he is ten
years older than her, and that age difference kept him
from
making a move on her. Then the attack on her and on top of
that he finds that he has a half brother he never knew
about. So between his attraction to someone way too young,
a new brother who might be dying of ALS, meddling lying
parents and her overprotective brothers and someone still
threatening Chloe's life what is he to do. Follow his new
instincts and grab the one who completes him ... if he's
not
too late.
FIGURE OF SPEECH is a fast paced, fantastic love story in
the amazing world of author Dana Marie Bell's Halle
shifters. Though this one was center on Chloe and Jim, the
shifters from the past books are there to lend support. It
took some time but Chloe got her man and he began to
understand more of what was going on around him when he
finally pulled his head out of his ... uh ...the sand. She
was
much to forgiving so it was left to her family to give him
a hard time but it all worked out. Though as you read you
will find that a part of it was an "incorrectly" passed on
message. I usually find that when I am into a book I have
a
few choice words for some of the characters when I
disagree
with their actions and this book was no different. I won't
say which people; read the book and I think you will know
the ones I mean.
I am not sure how Ms. Bell did it but Chloe's speech
problem (from the attack and brain injury that almost
killed her in a previous book) was at times discomfiting
but by the end I realized I totally understood her so well
I almost didn't notice the mixed words. FIGURE OF SPEECH
is
a great story, not just a love story with steamy shifter
sex, but one of overcoming disabilities and doing the
right
thing ... because it's the right thing to do. I can't wait
for the next in this series and whatever else Ms. Bell
comes up with.
When two hearts speak as one, no words are needed.
Halle Shifters, Book 4
Chloe Williams has waited four long years for her mate to
acknowledge her. Time and again he has turned her away for
being too young, even when she was hospitalized,
recovering
from a beating that left lingering aftereffects. Now that
he’s been turned into a Wolf, his mating instincts are
kicking in big time. Chloe has to decide if it’s worth
risking her heart yet again.
Ten years older than Chloe and dealing with issues she
knows
nothing about, veterinarian James Woods is about ready to
howl in frustration. He’s been drawn to Chloe since she
was
a radiant nineteen-year-old college student, but the age
difference held him back from making a move on her. Now
his
Wolf wants what’s his, and Jim is finally in a place where
he can claim her.
Between meddling mothers, Hunter brothers, and a mystery
that threatens to end Chloe’s life, they might find an
opportunity to tell each other just how they feel. Or find
themselves separated by more than just misunderstood
words.
Warning: This book contains explicit sex, graphic
language,
and two people who finally get their damn act together.
