THE BITE OF WINTER is a quick read paranormal romance set during the Chirstmas holidays. Overall this was a good read but I was left unsatisfied in the end. Being a novella there is lots that isn't filled in that would have made the story more enjoyable. There is general background information given on Zoey, Ian, and Connor but I was still left wanting more. The writing is fluid and the story interesting but the quick and simple resolutions was disappointing. There simply wasn't room within the story to explore the relationship between Ian and Conner and then the dynamics of their conflict in relationship to Zoey. THE BITE OF WINTER would have been much more enjoyable as a full length story.
I do plan on reading the next installment in the LOVE BITES series. I just hope the next one will be a full length story that will allow for the more fulfilling read that I have experienced when reading other of Smith's stories.
Happy Reading!
