Bewitching Book Tour: Just One Drop by Quinn Loftis


Just One Drop
By Quinn Loftis

Jennifer Adams, best friend to Jacque Pierce and Sally Morgan, spicy, out spoken, a little crazy and human...or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA is not the only thing that resides in her veins, she happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn't more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane's pack, she is also oh so conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the fur ball Decebel. 

Drawn to each other by something they don't understand Jen finds herself frustrated by the lack of mating signs between her and said fur ball. Not only is she dealing with that not so un-frustrating problem, she now has been informed that because of that little drop of werewolf blood in her she is now required to attended a multi-pack gathering for un-mated wolves. This type of gathering hasn't taken place in over a century but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population the males are getting worried they won't ever find their true mates. 

Meanwhile Decebel struggles with the emotions he is feeling towards Jen. He tries to keep his distance but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse that he just can't seem to get enough of...go figure


Excerpt:
Chapter 6
"What are you grinning about?" Decebel growled, knowing he wasn't going to like the answer.
"I think it's time we break up their girls' night out. Preferably before Jen falls off the bar," Fane told him. Though he tried, he couldn't hide the teasing laughter in his eyes as he watched his words penetrate Decebel's mind.
"She's in a bar?"
"Oh, she'll do you one better than that, Beta." Fane chuckled. "She's on a bar. As in dancing on a bar. The patrons are quite taken with her."
Decebel was out of his seat and ripping the door open before Fane could finish his sentence.
"Did you have taunt him?" Vasile scolded.
Fane shrugged. "Seeing the steely, calm Beta all riled is too much to pass up, Alpha."
Vasile tried to hide his smile as he shook his head at his only son. "Fine, but hurry up and go with him or he'll tear the damn bar apart, and I don't have the time or energy to deal with that mess."
"As you say." Fane winked at his father.
"Luna, I'm giving you fair warning. Your little adventure has been found out by the subject of your taunting. Do you think it wise, my love, to bait a dominant male?"
Fane could feel her surprise as she heard his voice in her mind. He smiled. He loved surprising her – it was a nice change of pace since he was usually the one being surprised.
"Crap. Is he on his way here?" Fane heard the anxiety in her voice.
"Hell is on his heels, love."
"You are enjoying this entirely too much, White Fang."
"Aw. Now, Jacquelyn, that is no way to speak to your mate." Fane couldn't cover his laughter.
"Just remember, wolf-man, I will follow through with my threat to have that dog house built for you. Now how long?"
"You wound me with your words, Luna."
"Fane, I'm not playing with you. How long till the brooding fur ball arrives?"
Fane had neglected to tell Jacquelyn that he and Decebel had been driving the whole time they'd been conversing. The bar was only five minutes from the mansion. He smiled to himself as he and Decebel climbed out of the Hummer.
Fane pulled open the door to the bar. He took in the scene and nearly lost his composure at the sight.
"You're looking stunning, Luna, if not a little under-clothed." Fane watched as Jacquelyn's eyes, big as saucers, met his across the bar. He grinned wickedly, raising his eyebrows as he whispered in her mind.
"Gotchya."

My Review:


I really enjoyed this book.  I think that this book was so much better than the second book in this series, and was just as good as the first book in this series. 

I loved the characters in this book.  I love how Jen was not the simple nympho that I thought she was from the first book.  Her character proved that she was a strong willed, brave, loyal and deviously cunning character that you just can’t help but love.  Though, sometimes her cunning and scheming got a bit irritating, and then there was her second guessing herself, but overall, you can’t help but love Jen.  And then there is Sally.  Here we get to learn more about her importance in the tribe.  You wonder how it is going to turn out for her in the next book.  Hmmm, will she be getting a book of her own?  Can’t wait to see.

And now, I can honestly say that I have a new book crush: Decebel.  Be still my heart!  I thought that I loved Fane, but let me tell you that he was quickly replaced by Decebel.  In the words of Jen, “Yummy!”

I loved how we got more details on the canis lupis.  It makes the book definitely more interesting as you can compare the werewolves to the fully wolf counterparts. 

There are some great and unexpected twists in this book that will keep you guessing… Unfortunately this includes the cliffhanger.  Speaking of which, can I just say how much I hate cliffhangers?  Like the one that is in this book, I turned the page and ended up yelling some choice words… Not a good thing to do at work!  Hoping that a resolution is coming soon!!!!

KUDOS to Ms. Loftis on correctly spelling “y’all” in this book.  Made me quite happy to see it spelled correctly. 

Honestly, with this book, my only issue was the lack of editing for errors.  There were many mistakes like main characters’ names being misspelled, grammar errors, and not to mention the missing words in sentences.  For my BOCD (Book Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), I found it very distracting. 

Overall, I think this is a great book.  I recommend this book, and look forward to a resolution in the next book.
