Some Bunny to Love

A very adorable story, happy ending all the way. The only complaint I have is since Auggie didn't know shifters exist, how does he know anything about male pregnancy and knotting? How does he still visit the town store? Does the whole town know - the sheriff obviously doesn't. I feel like I missed a prequel or part of the book. Other than those plot holes the writing is good though, easy to read.

Some Bunny to Love is the first book in the ‘River’s Edge Shifters’ series. This stars Jase, an Alpha rabbit shifter, and August, a human omega. The story is told in first person from Jase and August’s pov.



First the cover. I like it. The covers are all the same with just the animal on the front being different.

The blurb describes the plot pretty well so I won’t go into it that much. A lot of the book is Jase healing from his wounds in bunny form and August talking to him about stuff. I thought that was the best part of the story. This book MUST be read first or else the third one with Doc and Xander in it will NOT make sense. I thought Book Three could be read as a stand-alone when I read it before this one, but it can’t. show more This series MUST be read in order to make sense of the characters and what happens to them.

I’ve noticed when the author Aria Grace writes with the Lorelei Hart team, that the writing is usually smoother and doesn’t have strange subplots dropped in then never finished. However, this time there are some things I picked up they hadn’t fixed before publishing and this is not an ARC. 1) Time sequences weren’t correct, like baking the cake. It couldn’t have happened the way it was written but it did because 2) August said he wouldn’t watch them shift at the end of the story to give Xander privacy, he’d bake a cake instead. But suddenly the cake is baked before they go out to shift, and he’s sitting in a rocker outside watching them play around as shifters. 3) The very last chapter is August talking in PAST TENSE about all the children him and Jase have, as if August is talking from ten years in the future. Which totally doesn’t make sense because the whole story is not told in a memory that is a decade past. In fact, Book Three happens around the time August is pregnant with their second child. The huge time jump in the last chapter wasn’t necessary and I felt it was a bad way to end the story. It would’ve worked better if August predicted they would probably have lots more kids and how many he would like. I disliked the ending a lot. There were a couple of other instances that didn’t work but these are the three most annoying.

As to characters, Jase was okay, but rather a coward for leaving, and August was nice, as was Doc and Xander. Everyone was nice except for the Xander’s father and the sheriff, and I don’t know why the sheriff was in the story except to appear as the bad guy which was a weak ploy. Doc and the deputy knew what kind of person the sheriff was and Doc mentioned how he was on a power trip. Okay, so why didn’t the people of the town vote him out of a job? Or why didn’t the town council strip him of his job? Why and how did he get the job in the first place if he was a jerk? The fact he was still sheriff was a weak excuse and turned the conflict into a farce. I don’t think the authors should have gone down that path.

Overall, the plot was cute, the antagonists were a farce, and there were some obvious issues with time sequences. Because of all that, I give Some Bunny to Love, 3 Stars.

Bunny!

Jace was such a sweet guy, and Auggie was definitely a prince. They are perfect together. I hate the sheriff.
