A review by phallucee
Mutt by Naomi Lucas
4.0
I didn't like this novella quite as much as the other books in the series but it was still good. The H was a bit of an asshole (because he's a dog shifter who is fighting his need to build a pack). I felt like it wasn't as fleshed out as it could have been although that's how it often is with novellas.
I listened to the audiobooks of the previous three and this was the first one I actually read (I guess no audiobook version of it yet) and it almost seemed at times like I wasn't reading a book from the same series. Maybe it's because I was reading this instead of listening to the wonderful narration done for the previous books or because this one takes place on Earth instead of in space.
Here are the parts I didn't really like:
A part that confused me was when she discovered his hidey-hole of security feed and secret files where she discovers stuff about him and his past. She then calls him a liar and I just don't really understand what she found that made him a liar or why she was so upset. From what he said to her, what she found out makes her a liability, I guess because she discovered secrets about Cyborgs and thus, she could put them in danger.
I like how Alpha Reid is and the sexy times are sexy BUT I have some issues with Naomi's choice of words for her H's during sex like sneering, smirking and such. Those are unattractive facial motions that would really kill my mood. I wouldn't want my partner sneering at me during sex or smirking. I'd want to punch him in the nuts!
What I liked:
Anyways, the whole series is really good imo and I've loved every book and the H/h's in each so I would definitely recommend this series! There are aspects of the series that make it only 99% perfect to me, like never addressing the different lifespans of the H and h but as I've learned this is finally addressed in the 5th book. I just wish it was mentioned in each book.
I'm going through these pretty quickly, almost a book a day so I'll be sad when I catch up and have to wait for the next or when Naomi finishes the series.

I didn't like that he let her leave him - for 2 months! He followed her after some time and kept an eye on her but c'mon, she's pregnant and he just let her go.A part that confused me was when she discovered his hidey-hole of security feed and secret files where she discovers stuff about him and his past.

We get to see Dommick and his mate at the end of this book and his baby girl is finally born! I kinda hate that he wasn't in the room for the birth or afterwards because he went a little crazed and had to be put in quarantine though. :(Anyways, the whole series is really good imo and I've loved every book and the H/h's in each so I would definitely recommend this series!
