Buck Naked was UNREAL.

Yep, I know paranormal romance is unreal but in some cases, I actually start to believe. There's this little part of me that starts to question whether there are shifters, witches and vampires. Well, unfortunately, Buck Naked did not leave me questioning whether shifters were real. This story was definitely UNREAL.

Look, don't get me wrong, I could definitely sign up for some of the stuff going on in Cougarville but there was also some things that would have me running for the hills. Let's put it this way...I'll take the rejuvenation at 40 to look like a 20-year-old again. BUT, not if it brings all the boys to the yard...wanting my milkshake. Especially, if it makes the women in Cougarville turn into screaming banshees. I'll take the young body and leave the sex appeal for someone else I think.

Anyways, the other part that had me shaking my head at Cougarville, was the matings and courting rituals and rules and assuming that a newcomer to the town knew them already. How the bloody hell this chick was supposed to know that she would start wars just by stepping into the Piggly Wiggly, is beyond me.

Buck Naked deals with some tougher issues. The heroine is going through confidence issues because her ex-husband traded her in for a newer model. The hero has been in mourning for 10 years because his mate died and he made a promise to never fall in love or mate again. This made me hesitate because I found it hard to see him move on. Yes, it had been 10 years but he meets and "falls in love" within days. Not great, believable or romantic to me.

I'm rambling again. Sorry. I just found there were too many things that made me snort and snigger to really get sucked in. On the plus side...when we finally get to the steamy scene, it definitely got my heart pumping.

So, Buck Naked was OK but not great for me. Not sure I want to head back to Cougarville anytime soon.
