Wanna Buy a Howl by Milly TaidenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Archaeologist Skylar Grace is frustrated with her career - at the moment she is unknown in her field and so desperately needs a big discovery to make her name. So Skylar believes that she can use Gerri Wilder to go to another planet under the guise of meeting a male match before ditching him to work on whatever she can find. It should be easy as the is no way that Gerri can find a perfect man for her. Tamor is the Chief of the Seven Tribes and needs to find his mate as part of his plan to save his people from a slow death. So he contacts Gerri for help but when Skylar arrives she tells him she is there just to dig for old things which leaves him very confused and disillusioned. However, then Skylar finds some ancient drawings in a cave she knows it is something important but is struggling to decode the alien culture that she is completely unfamiliar with. For Skylar the stakes are high - if she doesn't decode the drawings the people who have accepted her will die as will the man that she has grown to love!
I really enjoyed this story which had a strong and sassy woman, an egotistical man and a mystery that needs be to solve in some way. Both Tamor and Skylar were irritating in their own way - but the common elements were that they did not communicate with each other, they were impulsive and they were actually quite selfish at times. I loved the solution to the problem and the fact that Skylar's archaeology and intelligence solved the problem - a great solution. Well written, easy to read and understand plus feel and empathise with them. Contains some explicit sexual content.
