Just Like Animals

Sexy. Funny. Ingenious.

Just Like Animals is a fabulously fun paranormal romantic comedy which continues the cleverly layered story-line of the magical werewolf series, The Werelock Evolutions!

Three words encapsulate my feelings for this 5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ delight:

SEXY. FUNNY. INGENIOUS.

Let’s be honest ladies ... you know those tantalizing passages from your absolute favourite romances that you highlight for revisiting in the future - over, and over, and over again? Well, knock-me-over-the-head-with-a-unicorn-vibrator if the opening chapters of Just Like Animals didn’t just jump to the TOP OF MY LIST of orgasm-inducing inspirational material. THAT’S how much I loved the ultra-hot sexiness that was the explosive consummation of a decade-long build-up of sexual tension between Bethany and Raul.

***”My childhood crush was now a powerful, magical werewolf creature ... I knew I’d let him do just about anything he wanted to me. I pretty well already had.” ***

Bethany was introduced to the werelock world ten years ago, when her best friend, Milena Caro, fell in love with the Alpha of the powerful Reinoso clan and became their new leader. Milena had to order the erasure of Bethany’s memories when Bethany asserted that she couldn’t bear to keep Milena’s secrets while being excluded from her BFF’s magical world. The side effect of that decision was the loss of Bethany’s emotional connection with Milena’s brother Raul. But Raul has never forgotten Bethany, and their reunion is full of as much hilarity as there is lust!

***”I — I’m on call this weekend.” ”I’m happy to pay by the hour.” “Being on call at the hospital doesn’t work like that. I’m in medicine, not prostitution.”***

But seriously, the foundation that ties this series together is the prophecy of the impending apocalyptic rise of the super-werelock, The Rogue, and how the rival clans of Raul’s Salvatella Pack and Milena’s Reinoso Pack are dealing with the major players. Should The Rogue be destroyed, or protected? Who is right, who is wrong? How do we recognize evil?

***”There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.”***

Scattered amongst the slapstick are metaphysical gems that elevate this story from fun rom-com to full on book lover’s epic. Raul and Milena’s sibling “Cold War” gets a thoughtful treatment with Bethany getting caught between them. In order to get that fifth star from me, I’m looking for the intelligence and multi-layered depth that Hettie Ivers delivers here once again. This is an amazing series! I really, really enjoyed this.
