Dark Instincts (The Phoenix Pack, #4)

Dark Instincts (The Phoenix Pack #4) by Suzanne Wright It happens whenever wolf shifter Roni Axton is near Marcus Fuller: a crackle of sexual awareness that’s intoxicating…and deeply annoying. Marcus is a pack enforcer who oozes power, but Roni is lethal in her own right—nothing like the flirty females who flock around him. Even still, his possessive gaze makes one thing clear. Marcus has singled her out for seduction, and he wants to make her sit up and beg. No matter how aloof and unfazed Roni acts, Marcus can tell she wants him. When a brutal attack by a jackal pack forces them to work together, it’s the perfect opportunity for Marcus to chip away at her defenses—until he falls into his own trap, completely unprepared for the intensity of their connection. Roni is the only one who’s ever seen past his shifter charm and discovered the man hiding beneath it. And for Marcus, claiming Roni once will mean needing her forever _________________ hmmm. Let me start off by saying that I have been a huge fan of this series and anxiously wait for every book she writes. Unfortunately with this addition to the series I felt seriously let down. I have been waiting for over a year for this book to come out and then I get this!!?? The book wasn't BAD but I have come to expect a great story from Suzanne Wright and I did not get that in this book. I felt very let down. Unfortunately with M and R's story I felt like Suzanne was just going through the motions. Yes she has improved on the female characters and their odd similarities, but ultimately it left me wanting more. The normally steamy scenes felt more like luke warm. Also I could not get past the fact that Ronnies mothers personality seem to have completely changed from nicks book. I haven't seen this mentioned in any other reviews but feel like I must bring it up. The woman with Saint like if not over friendly and nice and Nick's book, but in this one? Oh no she is a monster ... Huh? I commented on another review that I did today that I have been very disappointed in my recent reads. I have not found a book that I could not put down/could finish in a day ( like the norm) in so long I can't even tell you what the book was. I know that it has been at least two months since I have found a book worthy of a 4.5 or 5 star review. That is very disheartening. I am wondering if I need to completely change up my genre for a while, that seems to help sometimes when I can't seem to find anything worth reading. So, to all you bibliophiles out there I wish you happy reading and wish you better lucky picking then I have had as of late .
