I've long been interested in Prince's story because he's always seemed so sweet.
But to quote another reviewer "the enigmatic Prince turne This book was nearly all disappointment for me. But to quote another reviewer "the enigmatic Prince turned out to be just another rich guy who thought he could buy what he wanted. So then you're left with Denver but honestly i don't really buy their relationship that much. After 10 years of separation you get all these magical convenient plot points with harps swelling and doves cooing.
It makes you want to believe in their love. But if you read critically what you see is Denver essentially deciding that love isn't enough to get over the fact that Maizy is mortal and would someday maybe die before him. That's not romantic It's saying that i'm going to push her away and lie about my feelings because my "love" isn't enough to risk the hurt for her. But how is that love? Then there are all the instances where he just doesn't really treat her in a savory way I found a lot of his actions and words hurtful and Maizy became weak in my eyes for not holding him accountable for these hurtful things.
I was also left unsatisfied by Denver's backstory. In every book we hear about his big bad wolf and wonder what the story there is. Then we get it I also felt that the plot construction was kind of iffy. It seemed like it had too many separate plot lines going on and bringing them together was kind of shaky.
I also felt like the ending could have been better by giving them a definitive HEA rather than ending on just being in a good relationship place. Pretty much the only thing i got true enjoyment out of in this one were the sex scenes few though they were Aug 19, KaleidoscopicCasey added it Shelves: fantasy-pnr , fantasy-is-fun , read-in , hearts-aflutter , release , what-just-happened.
I'm at a loss for words here I'm not sure how I feel about this. Pretty much all of my feelings of "no this is not okay" are immediately contradicted by being okay with a similar situation in an earlier book in the series. Maizy started this series as a seven year old little girl and Denny became her "watchdog" which is like the equivalent of a super focused over protective big brother.
Except he's a shifter and ages super slow so even though he lo Hmmmm Except he's a shifter and ages super slow so even though he looks mid-late 20s he's actually closer to like 50? Well, this book moves us pretty swiftly along the timeline of the Weston Pack. Maizy is now 22 and returning from college abroad. It's been years since she has seen watchdog Denny and when they meet face-to-face again things have certainly changed. So my issues: He is now basically at retirement age and she just finished undergrad, so I mean that's one hell of an age gap.
He was her protector while she was growing up and like a brother to her but now they want to make sweet sweet love to one another.
Sorry, but that's creepy. Now here's why I don't have a leg to stand on with my issues: Reno is probably more than 3x April's age and I didn't have an issue with their story in book two. Lexie always looked at her big brother's best friend like another brother. So why am I having such a hard time with this!
I genuinely don't know. Their story was cute and well written, they are well matched characters, but I can't let go of my unease with this.
I think it's best if I don't give a star rating to this one and just stick with my very mixed and confused feelings in this review. View all 3 comments. The choices she must make are life changing, but that has even more significance for this young woman because of her lineage. She has cleverly created another glimpse into the Breed World, full of generously developed characters, that make you laugh, cry and yearn to know what choices they make.
Take it from Maizy's wise packmate Ivy "Like the sands of the hour glass". Take it from Maizy's wise packmate Ivy, we are all connect to everything around us; the choices we make affect everyone; make your choices wisely. Time is a gift;time to read. View 2 comments. Aug 17, Miranda rated it it was amazing Shelves: reviewed-books , favorites , adult-romance , shapeshifter. I swear these books are getting better each time. It was amazing getting to see Maizy and Denver finally together because let's face it, it was destined to happen.
I love that we get to see all of our favorites in each book so I don't have to mourn them really. I'm so eager for the last installment but dreading it all the same I'm not ready for this ride to end its been quite the journey and I'll always have a reread with this series. Fans of the Seven Series have undoubtedly been waiting on pins and needles for Denver's story.
Well we finally get to see if there is more to his relationship with Maizy. As Maizy's childhood watchdog a supernatural being who becomes a protector to a human child , we frequently got to see the unique bond between Denver and Maizy; and Denver's extreme protective nature towards her.
In this sixth installation of t 4. In this sixth installation of the Seven Series, we finally get to see what happens when a grown-up Maizy no longer needs a watchdog. Particularly as it relates to Denver and Maizy, who have figured prominently in the background stories of all the prior books in the series, it would be difficult to fully understand the background of their story without reading or listening to this series in chronological order. Maizy has just returned from England where, at the insistence of her family she has spent the last few years acclimating to living with solely humans, after having been raised her entire childhood in the Weston Wolf Pack.
During these years away she has been particularly estranged from Denver, though not for her lack of trying. Yet, he always seemed to be mysteriously absent when she called back home or even on the occasion when the Pack came out to visit her while away. Maizy misses her special relationship with Denver and now that she is back home, she is determined to reestablish that connection again. Denver, in turn, has purposefully been evading Maizy.
Her departure brought to the forefront her mortal nature, and he knows that eventually he will lose her too and has determined that it is better to distance himself now. However, Maizy, is not the same girl who left the Weston Pack all those years ago, and his mistaking her for his blind date upon her return only begins to spark the tip of the iceberg as to his attraction to this grown-up version of the girl he has always vowed to protect.
Maizy, however, has also caught the eye of another, much more powerful and rich suitor, and he is determined to make Maizy his mate for reasons that most of the Weston Pack is unaware of. Who will Maizy ultimately align her future with?
Will she even have a choice? Nicole Poole, as always, renders a fabulous performance in Two Minutes. Evidencing incredible consistency in her voicing of the various characters, Ms. Poole once again brings together this eclectic cast of shifters and, in a few cases, the humans they love. Showing incredible depth, Ms. Poole also manages to keep the same general intonation she has always used for Maizy's childhood voice but convincingly adds some depth and maturity to portray what a grown-up version of Maizy should sound like.
In addition to her great range with being able to bring together personality specific voices for each member of the large Seven Series cast, Ms. Poole also does a fantastic job of timing her delivery so as to draw the maximum effect from her listeners. From the fast paced, action-filled scenes, to the slower more emotional ones, you can always count on Ms.
Poole to bring this story to life in a dynamic, true to the script way. All in all, Two Minutes is another superb addition to the Seven Series.

I guess the fairy tale would be a good place. There once was a little human girl named Maizy who believed in fairy tales, but most of all she believed in her protector, or as they call it in the wolf shifter world-her watchdog. No one told Denver that he had to protect her, he just always did. He was her best friend until the day her mother sent her off to boarding school for high school, and from there, on to college in Europe.
Maizy wrote him all the time, but RabidReads. Maizy wrote him all the time, but never received letters back. Denver never visited with the rest of the pack and Maizy began to feel lost without her best friend, watchdog, and ultimately her love.
So she goes home to Texas-for good. This is the story of what happens when Maizy get home. When Maizy was young and moved with her mother in with the Weston Pack, life changed for her forever. But for Maizy, Denver was always it for her, and vice versa for him-admittedly though back then, he was more her big brother than anything else. But now things have changed. Now twenty three, Maizy has seen the world, and found it lacking due to her Denny being missing.
Dannika Dark. What can I say? And wow can Dannika write a wonderful romance. She is adept at writing details in one book, for example, only to have it come up as important several books in.
This book packed a wallop in that respect. Or by bringing some beloved characters from her previous Mageri series into one of these books without ever hinting about it.
When a writer can make me have cold chills and a smile on my face at the end of a book, you know she is a wonderful author. And of course one of my all time favorites. The characters, the premise, the pacing, and of course the writing, makes this a five star read for me. If I could, I would rate it even higher. Highly recommended to all adult paranormal romance fans! Aug 18, Beth rated it it was amazing Shelves: own , urban , kindle , fantasy , romance , paranormal , wolves , shifters.
Maizy is finally grown and her wolf protector Denver has noticed. Those feelings of protection have turned more primal, stronger. As Maizy decides on her future, Denver must reconcile the conflicting emotions of protection, abandonment and love. I absolutely loved Two Minutes. Dannika Dark is a master at weaving the perfect urban fantasy storyline. I it will be a sad day to see these character's Maizy is finally grown and her wolf protector Denver has noticed.
I it will be a sad day to see these character's stories end but I can't wait to see how Dark wraps this all up.

I've been waiting for Denny, Prince, and Maizy's story. The series has been building up this potential love triangle; teasing me with every book. And what do I get?
Probably the weakest book in the series. The story was boring and I didn't really care for Denny, Prince, or Maizy when they were given more airtime. Denny and Maizy seemed liked overgrown children and don't even get me started on Prince.
If I could, I would demand a rewrite because I really think 2. If I could, I would demand a rewrite because I really think this could have a great story. You have no idea how excited I am for this!!!!
