Reviews for Tymber Dalton

This was a beautiful story. The author states at the beginning its a bit of her own story and being a follower of her blog you could see the true to her life elements which made it all the more special. It shows such an amazing amount of love and strength but doesn't gloss over the fact that sometimes meeting your partners needs isn't as easy as you would think.

After the first 3 books in this series, I was really, really looking forward to this book. I was somewhat disappointed in that there wasn't a lot of Elain and the the triplets - - more like background on everyone else that was or is connected in any way, shape, or form with the storyline. Yes, it was interesting but I wanted more of the original characters. It was like 5 different stories in 1 book and the book isn't very long (almost 200 pages) so it really was more of an intro to all the players, their background, and how they are associated to the main characters. I just hope that with this all out of the way, the next book will get right into the nitty gritty and interesting stuff. Yes, there were the sex scenes, but not a lot of the Lyalls. The cousin (who is not gay but has a male mate) gets a lot of story time; Lina, who is mated to dragons and a Goddess and Seer gets a lot of story time; Liam (Elaine's dad) gets a lot of story time; the thinking rock gets a lot of story time. I just felt like things were lost from the first books - how Elaine loved to hear them speak with a Scots accent, Brodey's poetry and other writings that Elaine found, Elain's tweaking of their temper and wanting them to chase her - things that were mentioned previously that could have been worked into the storyline but are a dead end. Even how they teased Brodey about his being a bonehead and horndog (okay a bit of that is in there). And when it is mentioned that the Lyalls have 10 other brothers...say what? And that most of them are older than the triplets. I just felt that the original story line got muddied in all the other stuff mentioned. I hope it's not lost. As I said, I was really looking forward to this story but it was a disappointment. I sure hope the next one is a kick ass story.

WOW!! What an emotional roller coaster of a story. Very well written, very descriptive (I felt like I was right there), and really hot. I knew that the Fab 4some would end up together at the end (it is a happy-ever-after story) but the emotional ride to get there was really heartfelt. I can understand that space travelling does take time to get from one planet to another, and the story had to move along, but it was frustrating to hear how much time was passing from one scene to another. I wanted to end the pain and anguish so much sooner! This was a very good read - much better than books 2 and 3 in the series. This storyline was more like the first story - - more involved, depth of characters and scenes, and it draws the reader in. Well worth the read. After some disappointment in books 2 and 3, and thinking I probably won't continue reading the series, this totally renewed my faith and can't wait to read the next book in this series. Thank you Tymber for a really good story!

I really looked forward to the continuation of this series, but a bit disappointed with the story. Yes, the usual hot sex scenes, the humorous side to all of the characters, and the excitement of reading the new adventures but I didn't like how so much was spent describing the many scenes during the "tour". It just seemed like so much was described - - every conceivable scenario of every combination of hook-ups and I just wanted the regular action/activities to resume. Yes, the scenes were hot stuff, but after several scenarios and descriptions, I thought "enough - give those same sex descriptions/scenarios to the Fab 4some" - I would have much preferred for Em and the guys to be doing it, and it probably would have been so much steamier! I loved the action, and would have loved to read more on that. Don't get me wrong, the book was still very good, I think it got bogged down in some parts where it could have expanded easily in others. For that reason, I gave it a 4-star rating.

WOW. Tymber's stories are usually very good, but this one grabs your emotional guts and runs away with them. The depth of the characters and their emotional states will bowl you over. DO NOT MISS this one! There is Very Good, Outstanding, and #6-- WHOA.

Tymber knows how to reach in and make the reader feel a wide range of emotions. I love her strong female lead characters who know how to survive and find it within themselves how to love, forgive, and most of all be themselves. Another great book by Tymber Dalton.

Another winner. I just reread the others in this series to remember them and this story is a wonderful addition to a wonderful series. I love the characters and how they interact with each other.

A fun, sexy read about a dolphin shifter who literally 'bumps' into his bond mate. Sean is on his boat, gets close to some playful dolphins, and his life is changed for the better. Emery is pretty happy with who his "rescuer" is and has no problems showing it, in some sex-filled ways. There is plenty of sex, especially with Emery's 11" Whopper and Sean's 9" Quarter Pounder and some action; as one of the other dolphin shifters in the pod does not like Sean cutting in on Emery. He plots revenge and families need to adjust. One thing I like about shifer books is the ability to have insta-love. I expect it and Acidentally on Porpoise doesn't let me down. There are few "mines"and "I'm yours" in here and, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for that. If you like shifter themed books, M/M, plenty of sex, and some down-to-earth, sweet characters then this book is recommended reading.

A beautiful and heart rending story of love. There are no happily ever afters for all the characters but, oh, how Ms.Dalton managed the pain of loss and how love can come to comfort.

An excellent Series. Sad it is over, but the adventure was worth the ride. Highly recommend. It will make you laugh and cry.

Originally reviewed at Goodreads.com. I have mixed thoughts about this one, but I'll try to review it anyway. Tymber Dalton has truly 'harshed my mellow'. Kaden and Seth have been friends for forty years. In that time, Kaden has never asked Seth for anything. Now, however, he's dying of pancreatic cancer and he needs Seth now more than ever. His wife, Leah, needs help to cry and let her emotions out after a traumatic and violent past. Kaden has found a way to do this through BDSM, and he needs Seth to continue it for her after he's gone. Seth would do anything for Kaden and, by extension, Leah, but this request tests his limits to breaking point. And will he be able to continue after the inevitable happens, or will he fall apart? Well, firstly, this book made me cry. Not as much as I was expecting, but I was in public when I was reading it so it might have been different if I'd been in private. I felt a little bit emotionally manipulated, but I think that it was unavoidable given the subject matter of the book. The biggest problem for me with this book was purely stylistic. Some of the writing, particularly in the earlier half of the book, felt clumsy and amateurish, particularly with the overuse of adverbs in dialogue tags. I also got annoyed with the occasions where the narrative would briefly switch over to Kaden's head for a sentence or two, then switch back. It felt like such an amateurish thing to do. Also, and this is a small thing, I hated the occasional 'nekkid' instead of 'naked'. It wasn't even in speech sometimes, which was worse - and totally killed the carefully built up mood. The only other thing that bothered me was the final chapter in first person from Tony's point of view. I can understand why Dalton did it, to show how Seth and Leah were coping further on. However, it was jarring and totally kicked me out of the story for a moment. I also felt that it was unnecessary - I would have been happier if that chapter was cut out altogether, and it ended at the end of the previous chapter. However, there were features of the style of The Reluctant Dom that I loved. I loved Seth's inner heartbeat of Kaden'sdying; it felt very realistic, like the niggling little thought that won't leave you alone. It also served to build up the tension of the inevitable, and to remind the reader that there would be no happily ever after. I also liked the repetition of certain phrases that passed between Seth and Kaden, specifically 'harshing the mellow' and 'still not doing you.' At first, it annoyed me a little, but as it continued, I grew to love it. It was something special between the two of them. I really liked the characters in this book, even though characters outside of Seth, Kaden and Leah weren't much more than background noise. Seth was great, and I felt that his emotional conflict between what he wanted with Leah and his anguish about Kaden was handled really well. I also really liked Kaden; he was depicted as a very strong character, but he was allowed his moments of weakness too - and he had glasses! This makes me very happy. XD Leah was an interesting character too - she could have easily been one-dimensional and 'damaged', but she had a playful side, and a pushy side too. In her own way, she was also a very strong character. They all were. I've seen many reviews of this book complaining about the relationship, especially the BDSM aspect of it. I understand what people are saying - BDSM is not a cure-all for emotional trauma. However, in Leah's case in this story, I think it worked. The BDSM aspect of their relationship acts as a release for her emotions; she needs the pain to be able to cry. It was carthatic to her. In that way, I don't think this was a bad portrayal of BDSM at all - there is a lot about their relationship that is vanilla, and Dalton in no way propagates the idea that spanking is the best way to deal with trauma. It is just what works for Leah, and has come about after a long process of trial and error. I also loved that the ménage aspect of the relationship did not seem forced. Seth, though he fought against it at first because of emotional confusion, slotted easily and perfectly into their lives. There were bumps - a lot of bumps - but that's what made reading the journey worthwhile. Guh, I wish there had been a chance for a happy ever after. ;A; Overall, this was a novel that was well worth a read. It's one that I want to visit again in the future, perhaps when I am able to sit down and read it in one sitting with no distractions. Despite the stylistic problems, this is an amazing story, and I definitely don't regret reading it. I'll be looking out for more of Tymber Dalton's work. I'm off to sniffle into a tissue some more now.
