Description Supposing Books Scent of Darkness (Darkness Chosen #1)
A thousand years ago, a brutal warrior roamed the Russian steppes and struck a sinister bargain. In return for the ability to change at will into a coldhearted predator, Konstantine promised his soul—and the soul of his descendents—to the devil. Then one day a dangerous prophecy reveals the truth: One family has been chosen to battle the darkness—or face damnation. Ann Smith loves her dynamic boss, Jasha Wilder, but her daring plan to seduce him goes awry when she encounters a powerful wolf who, before her horrified eyes, changes into the man she adores. She soon discovers that she can't escape her destiny, for Jasha is Konstantine's descendant, and Ann is the woman fated to break the curse that binds his soul.Present Books Toward Scent of Darkness (Darkness Chosen #1)

When I read Scent of Darkness in the Darkness Chosen series, a couple of words popped into my mind--red hot, primal, sexy, exotic. That sums it up. This paranormal romance will make you purr like a cat or howl like a coyote. When I'm introduced to Jasha Wilder, a sexy Russian immigrant and wine producer, we learn about his dark side and his hidden and secret, deep past. Ann Smith, his administrative assistant has a dark secret of her own and a troubled past too. But when you read about them, youChristine Dodd is a new author for me, and I admit that the only reason I purchased the books in this series was due to the shapeshifting paranormal romance bits.I'm such a sucker for cheap thrills. I've been working on my thesis (Done by the way!) so I have desperately needed something to fill in the *staring at my monitor and mindless tapping at my keys* moments...So, I filled it with books that are written in 7th grade reading level. Over 300 pages in less than a day, my thesis is finished
I REALLY wanted to like this book. But, unfortunately the story just didn't work for me. On numerous levels.The main problem i had with the plot, was the fact that we are supposed to believe that Jasha worked with Ann for all that time, and never thought of her as anything other than his assistant, But, have him chase her through the woods in his wolf form, and suddenly she's irresistible? And within hours, he has decided she's his mate (aided by a few very complicated, very silly supposed
3.5 stars so I rounded down because there were issues. Good story although the ending fell a little short for me. I felt as if Jasha and Ann deserved a more succinct HEA. The serpent and the rose birthmark explanation seemed a bit weak and I would have liked more focus placed on it. As it was, it seemed as if it was an afterthought since we didn't find out about until 80% of the book was concluded. I think the conclusion, which was the weak link in the story, would have felt more authentic if a
So later in the book Ann started showing tgose ways the female main characters act that gets on my nerves but with her i couldnt really get mad because it qas mostly because she thought she was unloveable. I am so glad i finished this book and cant wait to read the others.
These are the reasons why I didnt like this book:> The story starts off in a really uncomfortable way. The h gave me the impression of a stalker or a stage-5 clinger with her thoughts and behavior, tbh. > I didnt like the vibe of their first sexual encounter. I didnt find it hot or steamy at all. (view spoiler)[It was a little too close to rape, imo. (hide spoiler)]> I didnt like the h. My first impression of her wasnt good to begin with (the stalker behavior from the first few
Scanning....scanning....scanning....that what I found myself doing about 40% in. This one started out strong. Action, quirky storyline, hot alpha chase-n-mate then it just stalled. Too much inner dialogue and not enough character to character interaction. Especially Ann she was constantly asking herself questions. Ann kept referring to herself as plain Ann, and I would have to agree. She started out strong and hot express to snoozeville. Jasha came onto the scene chasing Anna down in a storm and
