Romance Readers Guide to Passion: Book Aversary – Smiley

You might remember this next New Species who is celebrating his 6^th Book Aversary. He’s tall, he’s handsome, he’s kind, oh, and he’s a primate. That’s right! It’s Smiley! Smiley entered this world for the first time on October 27, 2014, according to Goodreads. Now, over the course of 6 years, Smiley has only had 2 covers. You guys can judge for yourselves, but I kind of like the first one better. There’s just something about that golden chest and the lettering that draws my attention and keeps it.

I really enjoyed this book, but there are points in it where I would love to grab a hold of Vanni and shake her. He innocence is enough to get her killed, but then when she is so gentle with Smiley her innocence couldn’t have been a more essential part to her character and the story.

I felt bad for Smiley because everyone thought the worst of Vanni, thank goodness, the author brought them to their HEA. Smiley may not feel the same urges as the felines and canines when it comes to his mate, but sometimes the need to snuggle is more important than anything else.

You guys are going to love this one. The author put just as much action and danger in it as her other stories with a layer of sweetness that made this a guaranteed re-read.

Happy Reading

Vanni is furious when her fiancé tricks her into attending a conference where his father’s church is protesting the New Species Organization. She hates everything those vile bigots stand for. Vanni goes to the bar to cool off and ends up seated next to a handsome New Species. Things heat up fast when they are both drugged.

Smiley doesn't want to believe the sweet human would dose them with the breeding drug. He's willing to trust her and determined to save her life. He'll hold her. Protect her. Offer up his body to distract them both from the pain. She is his female, even if she doesn't realize it yet.

Official published review:

Smile at the unexpected

I feel like I say this after every book, but wow! How exciting that Smiley found his mate. It’s a little shocking how they first came together, but his love and devotion is everything I have come to expect from a primate New Species. The author put a lot of action to this book and it drove my love of the series up even more. So many New Species who need to find their HEA. I can’t wait to see who is next!
