Review: A Curve of Claw (Wiccan-Were-Bear #1) by R.E. Butler

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Natural born wicca Elizabeth Xavier likes her life just the way it is. She has a beautiful lake house. Power to rival just about anyone. And seven men that cater to her every desire. What she didn't expect was to be asked to perform a binding ceremony in the local were-bear den and tie herself forever to a were-bear as a permanent guard. She didn't like anyone telling her what to do, and giving a man a supernatural tie to her life meant he'd probably want to boss her around, too. Or tell her she couldn't enjoy her casual relationships with the other men in her life. Guilt is a strong motivator, as is the reminder that she was abducted several months earlier, so she goes into the den with the intention of securing a guard and keeping him at arms' length. Too bad no one told her that were-bears don't like to be kept at arms' length.

When Elizabeth realizes that more than just her personal protection is up for grabs from the bear she binds herself to, can she go through with it, even if it means losing everything she enjoyed about her life? Will she go back on her word and destroy the alliance between the two groups, or does happiness lay in the underground den in the arms of a were-bear? When more than just the alliance and her own personal protection is on the line, Elizabeth has to make a decision fast. The decision to take a guard has never been so important.

This novella is for mature audiences only and contains a feisty play-girl witch with a sarcastic attitude, some red-hot were-bear loving of the menage variety, jealous lovers, claws and fangs galore, and some roadside nookie hot enough to melt the tires from the truck. This book contains M/F/M interaction.

My Review:

Elizabeth is a natural born wicca whose life has just been turned upside down… she’s been told to collar a bear for the good of supernatural relations and she gets not one but two sexy bears in this charming and passionate paranormal romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot enthralls reader with lots of passion and suspense.  The well written words and details bring the story to life and capture the imagination and the characters are strong compelling and grab the reader’s attention and the world the author has created bewitches the reader into wanting to know more.

Elizabeth is a very passionate woman and she loves having seven men cater to her every desire but her position as the south corner of her wiccan coven is about to change all that. For the good of the bear clan and the coven she’s been asked to collar a guard, she assumes that she can continue the things are but that’s not the case and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as Elizabeth’s true passions are revealed to the reader – and to her.

While this story is short, it has lots of captivating characters and a fascinating world and I found it to be enjoyable and entertaining with lots of hot and steamy sex scenes including menage scenes and I can’t wait to read the next one.

About R E Butler:

I always wanted to be a homebody and live in one place for my entire life, but fate had other plans. In the past twelve years of my married life, we’ve moved seven times, including from one coast to the other. Southern New Jersey is home now and I love it.  I have two young children, a husband who begrudgingly pays for my ebook addiction, and two dogs that think they’re people. After college, I spent eight years as an executive assistant before “retiring” at twenty-seven to become a stay-at-home mom. I have a soft spot for self-published authors, Ghirardelli chocolate, muscle cars, and men with tattoos.  Most people who know me don’t know I have a tattoo of a tiger on my hip or that I have an unhealthy obsession with The Simpsons.

I love sunsets, several cups of coffee in the morning, and I absolutely cannot live without books. When I’m not busy with my family, you’ll find me sitting at my desk working on any number of projects, including reading, reviewing, and writing.
