Warlock Unbound - Heart's Desire Book 4 - Dana Marie Bell
3/5
Heat 7/10
Genre - Paranormal/magic
Length - 218 pages
This author has several series. In each she builds a fairly complex world. In this one, it is a magical world. Wizards, witches and warlocks exist, as do demons and elementals. Not to mention werewolves. Non magical folk are mundanes, and know nothing about the magical world. This is something the author does well.
This is the last book in a series. It does not stand alone. There is a lot of interaction with the three previous couples (stories are about 4 brothers). Without having read the first three, you'd be lost.
The plot is complex and interesting. Where this book failed was in the character building. It was very weak. It relied heavily on the previous three stories. The romance was also not well developed. You were to take it as given that because these two already knew they were mates that they would automatically love each other.
My biggest complaint, however, was the over used, juvenile "bantering" between the four brothers. And sometimes the four women (mates) as well. The insult "butt munch" was used about a dozen times. Usually the return was asshat. The result was grown men constantly sounding like teenage boys. These moments of bantering went on far too long and took up too much page space.
The book also suffered from a lack of editing - many small but annoying mistakes. Finally, the author over used descriptive verbs. Men shouldn't "dart" anywhere. They should stride or stalk. I'd even forgive dash. But never dart!
All in all, this was mediocre ending to a pretty good series.
