Reviews for The Chosen Ones (LoveXtreme)

4.5 Stars ~ I will have you know that I snagged this book to review right out from under a fellow reviewer’s hands *cough cough Serena*, and I don't feel one ounce of shame over it. No, sir! This is Stormy Glenn, people, and she writes magnificent paranormal gay erotic romance. So, you can understand my lack of regret at getting to 'The Chosen Ones' first. Also, since this is book one in her brand new 'Myths and Legends' series…I get ALL of them!! *maniacal laughter* "I do need all of you,” Spencer whispered as a single tear escaped and slid slowly down his pale cheek. “I would die without you.” He knew it in his soul." First there was Garrett, then Hayden, then Joe, and then Phillip. Spencer has found four of his coven and there's only one more for him to discover. Unfortunately, the one he finds is an alpha werewolf who isn't about to share his mate with four other men. If Marcus can't or won't accept Spencer, then the emotional blast rockets through the whole coven. The problem, though, is that it has to be this way according to the legends. So much about incubi is held as myth, and Spencer only knows what he learned in his birth coven and that may not be totally accurate. Not to mention that the way their coven works is very, very different from others. It's bad enough when Spencer first meets Marcus. His body goes into heat, which normally only occurs once a month, and he changes from sweet, gentle, absentminded artist into a monster of lore, and it takes all four of the men to control what happens next. Spencer doesn't understand how these men can love both parts of him, he doesn't see that they get the best of both worlds. The majority of the time, Spencer is submissive, loving, and allows them all to care for him. Once a month, or when he's found someone new he can bond with, he goes into heat and becomes a dominant incubus. Definitely the best of both worlds. I really wanted to dislike Marcus. I really did. He's an alpha to over three hundred wolves, he's arrogant, and used to getting his own way. Okay, yes, normally I would love that about a man. But Spencer already had me wrapped around his finger from the first page, so I wasn't feeling very generous. Spencer is beyond adorable, and exactly like his four consorts, I wasn't about to see him sad or upset. So, I was happy when Marcus mated him. Not so happy when Marcus refused to believe he's an incubus, claiming they were the stuff of myth and legend, and barred the other four from his estate. Oh. Boy. "I’ll do whatever I have to do to make Spencer happy and healthy again.” “Then you’d better find some lube.” I absolutely adored this latest from Stormy Glenn. She is certainly heading in a new direction and I'm personally thrilled about it. Spencer is to die for, and I'm halfway in love with him already. The rest of his consorts, even Marcus, are all wonderful, sexy, men who I greatly enjoyed getting to know. My only question for the author is ~ will book two follow these same characters or will you be introducing all new ones? Inquiring minds want to know. *grins*

Quick read, would like to see the back story for how he met the others. It was mentioned in passing, but could have been so much more.

I love Stormy Glen books. I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars. The reason I could not give the book a full 5 stars was because of a two things. 1. The first chapter was little off. As I read the first chapter, it was hard to grasp what was going on with Spencer. It wasn't until Spencer called Garret that it started to become clear. It was confusing. 2. I was conflicted on the bad characters motive. I get that some wolves want their Alpha to be well, be an Alpha. But the story could of gone more into why the bad character did what they did. Instead of a few lines/page. It was like, the suspense came up and bam. It was all over. Like a two pump chump kind of feeling. Overall, the book was a good read. I like that I was able to get a feeling of the consorts and how they briefly became part of the story. It was to be expected for having 5 consorts.

When Marcus is wonderfully thrown into the delight that is Spencer, we know Garret, Joe, Hayden and Philip are already sharing in the love. Throughout The Chosen Ones, Ms. Glenn has carefully and artfully shown genuine emotion between all of the men individually and for Spencer as well. Since having been introduced into the MM genre and discovering the erotic nature of these stories, I have become used to the occasional addition to the mix in the form of a third partner. While being in love with Ms. Glenn's writings, I was still concerned on how she was going to make a convincing telling of true romantic and lovely feelings between six men. I shouldn't have been concerned, because it was fantastic and erotic and a whole bunch of fun naughty words.
