Review: Roan’s Fall – Marisa Chenery

As a hair stylist, Ansley has seen and cut a lot of people’s hair, but when Roxie shows up for her appointment with a very large, gorgeous man, Anlsey can’t take her eyes off him. Nor can she stop her body’s reaction to Roan when Roxie asks her to cut his hair as well. But things seem to go steadily downhill when Ansley’s curse, her ability to say the first thing that comes to mind when around a man she is attracted to, rears its ugly head. When Roan growls at her to hurry up, Ansley knows her mouth has done it to her again.

Even through the harsh chemical smells in the hair salon, Ansley’s scent is like a punch in the gut to Roan. Knowing she is his mate, and a mortal, it has him fighting the urge to claim her as his own. Hoping to ease into telling her he is a werewolf, Roan prays he has the control to take things slow. But when it comes to Ansley, he must fight the wolf inside him or risk scaring away the one woman that was meant for him.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This is a quick little read. Roan is a very sexy six-foot-nine wall of werewolf. When he encounters his mortal mate, he is completely engulfed in the mating thrall and has to have her, NOW! Since Ansley is not a werewolf, he is unsure how to proceed in wooing his tiny mate. After a failed attempt at dating, and complete brush off by Ansley, he shows up at Ansley’s work, throws her over his shoulder and all but beats his chest on the way out as the mating dance begins.

I enjoyed this book, but I felt left out of some of the things that were happening because I didn’t read the Wulf’s Den series first. The sexy time scenes were steamy and the bickering between brothers and sisters-in-arms was pretty funny. I really like the premise of the book but I think I could’ve been more invested in the story if these smaller books were interwoven into a full length novel making the read richer and more substantial. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a short, paranormal read.
