Book Description

Publication Date: June 16, 2008

Anton loves a well-prepared steak. That's all he's hoping for when he meets Greg, his new live-in chef. Flamboyant and confident, Greg attracts Anton immediately, and he finds himself wanting to know Greg better. Much better. It's not just a normal attraction for Anton. He's an unusual man, with unusual desires, and Greg seems to be filling a place in Anton's life that he's never explored. Anton prefers to be a civilized man and not let his werewolf self run free, but it’s the wolf that wants to claim Greg for a mate. Someone disapproves of Anton's relationship with Greg. Someone close to Anton, someone inside his carefully controlled household. As he and Greg come closer and closer to mating for life, the danger gets nearer, forcing them to depend on each other to stay safe, and for Greg to stay sane. Can Anton convince Greg that his wolf would never hurt him and keep Greg safe from the menace outside their relationship, too? Sexy, razor sharp and fast-paced, Bite will keep your heart racing!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, June 8, 2008

This review is from: Bite (Paperback)

With the description and reviews already posted, it's become obvious that I was expecting a little more from my first Sean Michael book. I was incredibly disappointed.

The characters are very one-dimensional. They have no background, few deep thoughts, and next to no evident personality. I couldn't bring myself to invest emotionally in them, because I was given so little to know them by. They have no history or family aside from one sentence about no-name friends as a bar and another sentence about never-named siblings across the country. The only feature I can remember about Anton, one of the main characters, is that he growls constantly--and I only finished the book two hours ago!

There was a plot--kind of. In between lots of sex, little blipits are thrown out. Very brief, with no explanation and little detail. The main villain left me with a big question mark. It's understood that's he's trying to kill everyone, and there's a little bit of why too. But overall he seemed thrown in, an extra thought with little detail. (Because the last page explicitly mentions a sequel, I'm going to assume there's more of an explanation. But as the main conflict of an entire novel, I expect more than "Look for the sequel!") It's the same with the villain's crony on the inside. Very see through, obvious, and not in the least suspenseful.

I'm not saying this was a terrible novel, because it's not. It simply wasn't what I was looking for or anticipating. If you want non-stop, amazing, graphic sex then look no farther. As an author, Michael has done a great job getting those scenes on paper. The images are mind blowing. But don't expect much of anything else.

Honestly, this seems more like a very rough draft than something in-print. A great rough draft, but a draft none-the-less.

5.0 out of 5 stars M/M erotica could not get hotter than this!, December 23, 2007

This review is from: Bite (Paperback)

I am a Sean Michael's fan so naturally I enjoy this sizzling paranormal M/M romance erotica. Anton is one sexy alpha werewolf. He finds his mate in Greg, his newly employed cook with tatoos. Pages of hot and lustful sex with growls and bites follow. Sometimes when there is too much sex it could get repetitive or boring. But not Bite because Sean just writes the sex scenes so well, supplementing them with humour as our ever hungry werewolf chases after his stubborn and independent cook.
The plot gets serious midway as their domestic bliss is interrupted by an unseen enemy all out to destroy Anton. Greg is ofcourse the target as he is Anton's most precious possession. The last few parts are suspenseful and the ending perfect for this first volume in a hot series. And I do love one playful but heartwarming scene towards the end which I thought is most original in a werewolf story. And of course all those food!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bite, April 29, 2008

This review is from: Bite (Paperback)

Rich, grumpy Anton has not been able to keep a chef, until Greg shows up. He's surprised at Greg's appearance--tattoos, bleached hair, goatee--and his skill in the kitchen. He quickly finds himself attracted to Greg, but will Greg want him when he discovers Anton's secret?

Greg comes to Anton's home expecting only to work, not end up sleeping with the boss. Still, he can't seem to get enough of Anton. Then strange things start happening, and he begins to wonder if there's someone out there that doesn't want him to be with Anton...

In typical Sean Michael fashion, Bite is an incredibly hot book. Anton is brooding, dominating, possessive, and unhappy about his werewolf status. Sometimes stubborn and other times submissive, Greg is a good match for him. Their relationship progressed quickly, but somehow the speed was believable. The sex scenes are very, very hot. There was an interesting suspense angle as well, with the person who was stalking Greg. Overall, Bite is a really good read. I do have to add a couple of disclaimers to this review, however. If you don't like violence, steer clear. Secondly, don't expect this one to be tied up with a bow at the end. I'll certainly be reading the sequel when it comes out later this year!
