So if you know, you know. This author has some of my absolute favorite series. New Species, Cuborg Seduction, VLG, Zorn Warriors, Mating Heat, and more.
The overarching plot is never rushed. The heroines are well written (yeah I’m looking at you Bella Swan) and multidimensional. The romance is steamy and tasteful, and home girl has a pretty regular release schedule. I mean she’s no Ruby Dixon or Jessamyn Kingley with monthly releases but we’re getting at least one new book a year.
This is however a rant, and today I would like to discuss the inability to finish a MFin series. Outside of Mating heat and Zorn warriors, not a single previously mentioned book series has come to any sort of conclusion.
My absolute favorite New Species is hands down one of my favorite series in the entire universe. There’s intrigue there’s trauma, there are over protective alphas who are absolutely over the moon for their mates. What more can you really need in a steamy escape from reality? This series however I understand there were some publishing issues and she started writing more than two decades ago. So though I’m hurt, I can understand just not being able to finish or get back into the right head space.
Cyborg Seduction is another absolute beauty of a series. Touching on some social issues without being heavy, giving us sexy chromed out warriors in all different shades of metal, pitting us against an absolute evil hive mind. Each book is such a ride and I was absolutely buying each book as it was released because her writing style always leaves you wanting more.
But instead she just jumps into 3 more series after this. At some point I had to make the conscious choice to simply stop reading her work. Not because I don’t love it, not because the writing or editing or plot lines. Simply because to fall in love over and over with these rich diverse worlds only to have them disappear halfway through the story telling is heartbreaking.
Why Mrs. Dohner? I would never tell anyone not to read the books. They absolute masterpieces of the paranormal romance genre, from a time before the over saturation that Kindle Unlimited has caused. That however is another topic entirely. Please read them, love them and maybe through our shared love for the characters she creates we can create our own endings.
