What a Great Short Story!

This was great, especially considering that it is a short story. I have read the all of the Mercy Thompson books, so know a bit about Charles and Anna, but I am just starting their series. It was great to learn how they met and to get much better acquainted with them. I thought they were both wonderful characters, and I enjoyed the storyline. I'm looking forward to seeing where the next books take them.

Anna Latham was turned into a Werewolf against her will. She has been treated very poorly by her pack, and she is made to feel like a submissive and worthless wolf. When she reads an alarming news article that she knows connects to her pack, she contacts Bran "The Marrok" Cornick, the leader of the North American werewolves. Bran sends his son, Charles, to investigate the goings on in Anna's Chicago pack. When Charles meets Anna, he is immediately drawn to her, and knows his wolf has selected her as his mate. Charles recognizes Anna as a rare Omega wolf, not a submissive. He is appalled and angered at how she has been treated by her pack, and they begin to get to know and care for one another as they try to unravel the secrets and misdeeds of the pack.

I loved this one! Charles and Anna are both great, and I really enjoyed the way this story picked up right as Moon Called ended. I loved the interaction between Charles and Anna, and I appreciated the way that Bran was so accepting of Charles' quick attachment to her. As a fan of the Mercy Thompson Series, I have been looking forward to reading the Alpha & Omega books, and after this short story, I am even more thrilled to read them.

What a great short story! It's a love story that doesn't start out like any others I have read. Barbara's writing really captures your attentions and holds it to the book. I'm definitely going to go and check out some more of her books! Great 30 minute read!

What a wonderful short story, wrote in such a way known only to Lucy Felthouse. I do like her unique writing style.

This book really made me smile. Bailey thinks he is boring, wanting to make a small difference he signs up to send letters to someone in the military.
Nick is in Afghanistan, he has very few family left, he is overjoyed to receive a letter from his home country....

I found this very sweet, I did have a giggle at how Bailey asked Nick if he was Gay. The whole story was just perfect, two lonely guys connecting both hoping for more....

I loved this short story! When I started reading, I could not put the book down. The vivid descriptions and intriguing plot line kept me interested the whole time. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys beautiful, yet sad stories.

A great short read!  Left me in a quandy between needing to get to the end to see what happens vs. not wanting it to end because I was enjoying the unfolding of the story and characters, not to mention the style of writing.  For a story that only spans a few hours time in a person's life, I got to know so much about the two main characters and their unusual relationship.
The author has an interesting yet whimsical style, especially in a story about the end of a person's life.  Kind of like eavesdropping on a sidebar in a courtroom, where you hear a whisper of something that the author really didn't mean to say out loud... but that makes it for me!
Looking forward to his next work of macabre, with a twist!

Five stars is a just reward for this short story.

I do not read a lot of short stories for many reasons but primarily because they just leave me flat, unfulfilled...wanting. A short story works for me if it is contained within a small time frame and is pretty straight forward with little or no filler to make up for weak characters, plot etc...so I just do not do many short stories.

With this offering Mr. Wecks puts it all together for me with a very good story line, characters I fell in love with right away, held my interest though out without tons of action packed scenes, was not filled with over technical info but enough, introduced a new character mid way that really added to the story and Mr. Wecks did something that I rarely like but he back tracked to earlier times but did it in a manner that I added to the understanding of the characters and helped me push this read from a 4 1/2 star to a 5 star read.

I find so many short stories leave me flat with a "What the heck, is that it" feeling but with "Brody" Mr. Wecks prompted me to smile cheerfully and feel awash with a warm fuzzy love for this short story.  I think you will find the same.  Try it!!

Thanks Mr. Wecks for adding to my joy of reading!

This was a great short story! I need to get number 2 just so I can get to sleep... or I will lay in bed wondering what's about to happen

This is a wonderful short story, very well written with characters you love the minute you meet them. It's romance at its best, with the addition of an occasional ghost. I look forward to reading more from Sofia Grey, because I loved this story!

I've been such a big fan of short stories lately since I haven't had time to pick up longer novels, so this was the perfect length. This was such a great short story, I'm really glad to see it's a series! An Assassin's Tool has such a great fantasy storyline to it and was nonstop action throughout. You can definitely tell that Darby is a seasoned writer and that this story was well thought out and well written. I've noticed that with some short stories they're poorly written, but that is definitely not the case with this one. I look forward to reading the rest in this series!

This is a great short story. It's got humor, a lesson to be learned, and a happy ending. A story that you can't put down until the end.

I really enjoyed this short story.  It is very touching despite its very short length. Because it is so short there isn't a lot to the plot, nor is there much character development.  Nevertheless, I found it quite satisfying.  Abby is running away from an unwanted marriage.  She has been betrothed since infancy to a man she has never met, but has heard a lot of negative things about.  Time is running out for the two to get married, and Abby has been unable to convince her parents to break the betrothal contract.  While on the run, Abby hits a spot of trouble at which time, Will, the hero, comes to the rescue.  Within a couple of hours the two are in love and get their HEA.  I really liked Will....a whole lot.  As another reviewer said, Abby was a bit silly.  But considering she was only 18 and had lived a very sheltered life, that was to be expected.  Besides, Abby did realize, to some extent, how silly her behavior was at times and was even able to laugh at herself.  This  story is the perfect length to read while waiting at an appointment or at bedtime.  If you enjoy this genre of books, are looking for a light quick read, and is willing to suspend disbelief you might want to give this little book a try.

While I'm no theater-phile (nor am I sure if that is even a word) I really enjoyed this short story. There was just enough technical jargon for me to realize the author knew what she was writing about but not so much that I was lost, which I really appreaciated.
I thought the characters were all cute and had a unique voice. I enjoyed all the descriptions about the backstage activities as well and liked the fact that the crime didn't over take the story.
Over all, I really enjoyed the story and will be purchasing the other books in the series.
 My one and only complaint is I couldn't be in the audience for the final performance of "Boner".  It sounded Hilarious!
Thank you sharing your talent Ms. Watts and keep up the good work!
