About book Chasing Seth (2011)

An interesting read with entertaining characters and storyline. There are a couple of problems that kept me from really enjoying it though.The big Cheyanne. Ugh! I got so tired of it. We know Kasey is Native American from the Cheyanne tribe yet he is constantly referred to as 'the big Cheyanne'. Why not the big man? The big wolf? The big Alpha? Seth at times acts more like a teenage boy than a grown man. He is a licensed veterinarian with experience in the field and with his backstory I'd expect more maturity. I get that he had a traumatic experience and in some ways is still recovering but that doesn't explain why he acts like a helpless maiden at times.Like I said, an interesting read with problems. If you like big strong Alpha wolves and their twinks you will enjoy this. I will read 'Forgiving Thayne' and give this series another chance. I have really enjoyed other books by this author and hope this one was either a bad editor or an earlier work. Since most of the reader reviews appear to be from women, I'll add a few thoughts from a male reader. I give this one three stars for some ideas that I haven't seen before, most particularly the distinction between werewolves who are born that way and werewolves that are "Created" as a result of being bitten. It contains two kinds of racism, both of which are seldom shown: Native American prejudice against whites, and the native shape-shifters against the created/bitten ones. A lot more could be done with both of these than what the author actually did. I found it particularly unfortunate that most of the characters never changed their racist views in any significant way. The author herself has chosen to validate the distinction between native shape-shifter and created, rather than breaking the stereotype. She did allow that stereotyping such as "White people who are shifters can only be created and are never native born" can be wrong, but that's really only a tiny step and not a breakthrough.The sheriff undergoes the major conversion here, from total prejudice to a new acceptance and openness, but unfortunately it happens too fast and lacks much believability. I see a lot of criticism for the number of tears shed by the protagonists, but as a gay man I can assure you that this is not at all unusual. The severe emotional stresses and self-defeating adaptations Loveless presents here are quite genuine and common.As for the erotic scenes, I'd say they were mostly pointless filler. They did little to advance what could have been a much more exciting and satisfying story if more time had been spent on plot and tension and less on formulaic sex.Nonetheless, I did read to the end to find out how it all worked out. Unfortunately, some major issues went unresolved without even a hint that they were being worked on by the characters or would ever change. I'd say that the book is a good draft that should have had more work applied before releasing it.
