Rayne's Thunder (Part One): Master Chef (Dating a Werewolf Series Book 1)
by Jami Brumfield
Book Description
Dating a werewolf can get a little hairy,
literally and metaphorically. Rayne Manchester's suitors learn this
pretty quickly. Rayne and her siblings, Rhyme and River, have been
through a lot lately, and the loss of their father was only more fuel
for the firestorm that is their lives.
Grief offers a subtle
salve to the drama that eats up their existence and leaves them spinning
like a tornado, but when their uncle reads their father's last will and
testament they discover things are only going to get worse. The will
divides the massive estate equally, but there is one catch; all three
must be mated and married one year from their father's death. If even
one of them fails in this mandate, none of them will inherit! Estranged,
the siblings will now be forced to help each other.
Rayne's
Thunder is Rayne Manchester's journey toward finding a mate and walking
down the aisle. Upcoming, Rhyme's Reason and River's Fire are River and
Rhyme's stories to happily ever after.
In Rayne's Thunder, Part
One: Master Chef of the Dating a Werewolf Series, Rayne meets her first
suitor, Brick. Their date goes well until payback is delivered for the
disrespect the two made to the new alpha. Immerse yourself in this
series, the characters, and their world. They're waiting for you to join
them on their adventure.
Each installment will serve up romance, suspense, intrigue, and action.
Message from Rayne:
My
father's death rattled me to the core. A part of me died with him and
left my world spinning out of control. I needed the sanity, the comfort
home and my pack offered. Returning home was the only option. Father was
always overbearing, determined, protective. He felt he knew what was
best for all of us, even if it wasn't.
But this time he really
overstepped, I mean to tell me who and when I need to marry and mate
from beyond the grave is just inexcusable and to make it worse, he
wasn't here for me to tell him how furious I was with him.
There's
only one saving grace... at least he left me with a decent list. I'm
looking forward to my first date with Brick Mason. I hear he's a mater
chef and comes from a respectable alpha family in Wyoming. I suppose
we'll see. Whatever happens finding true love is going to be an
adventure. I hope you'll join me on my journey to my happily ever after.
My Review
5 Stars
This was a good read giving you a little action with a few very
controlling men one who just wants the best for his sister the other
said he wants what is best for the pack. I am not sure I am buying that
but we will see as the story continues. It is hard enough when you are
on the outs with your family but what do you do when the father you love
who you haven’t seen in years dies leaving a will that said you must
marry within a year or you lose everything. He gives you a list of those
to choose from some you have never met and others you do not care for.
For Rayne she thinks her father has lost it with Storm’s name being
added to the list she is sure of it. She doesn’t need the money but the
wise father throws in a twist if one does not comply with the rules they
all are cut out of the will. The others need the money this first
installment in this series is about the fathers will, the trying times
for the pack, and Rayne’s first date.
The author gives you lovely
characters and tells a little about each in this first installment.
Rayne is a strong willed lady who knows her mind not letting herself be
pushed around. This does get her into a lot of trouble as you will find
as you read this delightful read. This is a very short read which gives
you most of the information you will need. I found very little was left
out and the author never leaves you hanging. As with most short reads a
reviewer cannot give out to much information or there would be no reason
for you to read the book.
River her brother is now the alpha and
leader of their pack. He isn’t finding that easy with other packs
wanting to take it over. He is strong and a loving man who will have
some tough decisions to make some will be about Rayne but he must do
what is best for the pack. I really liked him he is an upfront person
who cares so much and will make a great leader I am sure if he can just
find the right mate.
Rhyme is a lovely lady with a few issues she
is working through. She and Rayne had a major falling out which tore
the family apart. With their fathers dead they have come together and
straightened out past mistakes. There isn’t a lot about her in this book
but more will come as the series takes off.
The first date for
Rayne was interesting as she works her way through the list of men her
father gave her. I am not sure what the date thought he was doing which
got him and Rayne in a mess of trouble. With Storm to the rescue things
heat up. I will be very surprised when this series is over and these two
do not end up together. They have wonderful chemistry as the passion
heats up but neither seems to be interested in taking it farther. They
do not even seem to like each other but we will see…
I thought
this was well written with little left out. I understood why the sisters
stopped speaking to each other. I could not understand why Rayne did
not go home for years why she was away at school. She adores her father I
just do not feel the drift between the two sisters would have kept her
away from her father. Maybe I missed something but for me this was not
explained. That is the only issues I had with this read. I thought the
author did an outstanding job of writing a short story and of course
this is a cliffhanger but I knew that going in. For a short story that
is very interesting the author does hold your attention and gives a well
put together story for a reasonable price. She gives you and exciting
plot with action and a few thrills that makes this a page turner. If you
are into Paranormals and Werewolves I am sure you will enjoy this read
as much as I did. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this
series as well as more from this author. I have found this author does
have a reading group if you liked the story you might want to join her
FB group.
