Book Review: Craved By Her Cougar By Felicity Heaton

Craved By Her Cougar
(Cougar Creek Mates #4)
By Felicity Heaton

For the last twenty years, Cobalt has burned with a need of one female, a beautiful raven-haired cougar who captured his heart the moment he set eyes on her. His position as pride protector has been a blessing at past mating gatherings, keeping females away, but this time it feels like the worst of curses, because the female who has bewitched him so thoroughly is taking part for the first time and all he can do is watch as males battle for her.

As much as she hates the way her mother controls everything in her life, Ember is thankful for it as she constantly turns away suitors, unaware of the pain she’s sparing Ember from with every male she rejects. Every male who isn’t the gorgeous blond with darkness in his eyes and an easy smile she burns for with an intensity that scares her, awakens feelings in her that have her verging on doing something reckless. Damaged goods he might be, dangerous and unpredictable, but with every contest over her that pulls her closer to her doom, she grows more determined to follow her heart, no matter the consequences.

With every fight over the right to Ember, the tethers on Cobalt’s feelings twist and threaten to snap, a torment he cannot bear and one that has him willing to risk it all, because a single kiss would make even the harshest punishment worth it. He would die for one moment with her… his fated mate.

My Review:

A lot of this in this book didn't work for me. Firstly, the writing wasn't my favorite. It was more of the narrator telling me what was happening instead of showing me. Everyone's inner monologues were repetitive, long-winded, and overall boring. When things finally started getting somewhere where the plot is concerned it's solved within a day or so in the novel. This brings me to my other point, this whole plot could have been resolved with one conversation between the main characters decades ago. That is not what I consider an interesting story nowadays. In the past, it worked for me, but it doesn't anymore.

The main characters didn't have much personality. They were both facing different struggles in their own way but they were very basic and general sounding/talking people. They didn't express their quirks and weren't all that memorable.

It's a sad day when a secondary character stands out more than both main characters. Flint sounded like an awesome character because he had a flare and a way about him that just called you to pay attention.

Overall, I wasn't a fan of this book. As long as I remember this book I'll be hesitant to pick up any other books by this author. I won't say it'll never happen, but it's going to take some time.
