| dev-n-diva's Full Review: Katie Macalister - Ain't Myth Behaving |
Ain't Myth-Behaving is two short stories by Katie MacAlister that have main characters that are from Mythology. The first short story is "Stag Party" and goes from pages 1-194.
- Plot -
Dane Hearne (a.k.a. Cornunnos God of the hunt) is a low level God that has recently been reborn and has to get married to keep his godly title. He only has a weeks time to find a bride and be married by Beltane or he will become mortal and die.
Megan St. Clair is a writer that has come to the Irish castle Dane owns looking for stories about the area. She is intrigued by the story Dane tells her about the castle and the strange people camped out on the front lawn of the castle. She is not so what is true and what is blarney.
Can Dane prove himself to Megan in only a weeks time? Will Megan agree to marry Dane so he can remain immortal?
The second short story is "Norse Truly: and goes from pages 195-353.
- Plot -
When Brynna Lund went to Sweden to learn more about her ancestry she had no idea what she was in for. Her parents had never warned her about the secrets her great grandma Momo Hildi had in her past. If it was not unbelievable enough her Momo Hildi's past then when Brynna offers to drive to the store to pick up a few groceries for the family she looses control of the car she is driving and ends up in the ocean.
It is just by coincidence that Alrik Siguardsson and his Viking crew that were cursed to sail this particular stretch of ocean see and save Brynna. Brynna is in turn asked by Alrik and his men to save them from the curse that was placed on them 1,300 years ago. Brynna agrees to help them, but what is it going to cost her in the end?

I knew that both of the short stories would be a bit off the wall considering that the main characters were created from Mythological rolls. I however thought there might actually be some sort of romance in the story line instead I find smut and soft porn.
Both story lines start out with the possibility of romance, but turn into little more than explicit sexual acts. The characters have no depth and are laughable. If the author were to expand the story instead of trying to shove a large amount of detail and background into a few pages the stories may have turned out less laughable. The author gives you what you want to know about the characters for the most part, but I wish she would have expanded on it instead of trying to cram it down your throat.
I just can not recommend the book. The story lines have potential, but I feel that they are rushed. The fact that the stories are supposed to be romance stories and come off as little more than soft porn leaves a sour taste in my mouth as well. If you are looking for an entertaining/interesting romance story keep looking because this is not the book for you.
