Reviews for When He Was Bad

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Brilliant, duo story collection from the wonderful Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden.
Miss Congeniality
I have been hanging out to read the almost prequel story of Van Holtz and his mate.
Based in the eighties, but at no stage did I feel like I was immersed in the time, this story was hilarious. The characters, like all of Shelly's books, are totally original and I just lap them up.
Even though it was short, I didn't feel like I missed out on anything or that it was rushed. It was just a fantastic, sexy shifter story with a bit of mystery and a lot of humor. Totally satisfied.

Wicked Ways
This book starts off with action and continues that way all through until the end.
We start off with Miranda being attacked by her Date....who just so happens to be a psychotic serial killing vampire. Miranda had no clue. She is saved by her super hot next-door neighbor, Cain, who just so happens to be a shifter....once again Miranda had no clue.
We are immediately pulled into the full paranormal world that Cynthia Eden has in so many of her exciting books. I am only new to her stories, but I am never bored. There are refreshing, even though they have your standard paranormal creatures, the world is fresh along with the characters.
The connection, romance, and sexy times are there too!
If you are looking for some good short paranormal romances from two of the best authors in the business, give When He Was Bad a go.

I always wondered how Niles and Irene got together and this was better than I could have ever imagined!
