GRR Reviews Gray Wolf Security 1 by Glenna Sinclair
Gray Wolf Security is written to a formula, as the author was able to repeat her success by reusing the formula for SEVERAL of her security novel series (See Dragon Security Vol 1 and Vol 2, Gray Wolf Wyoming, Gray Wolf Texas, and so on) and while they are churned out in formula, each series was meticulously plotted and each managed to create unique characters.
I particularly enjoy the way the novels managed to introduce a threat in the first novel, only to have it wrap around and become the big baddie for the final novel (Number 5) with the other novels only adding to the puzzle. Having read more than one of the series, none of these books are particularly deep, but by focusing on the important traits or perks of the characters, the characters are indeed unique.
Gray Wolf's operatives are all haunted, damaged, broken, by an event in their past, and they are to make amends in someway, in the present, and work through their issues, often by having the toughest client and case in their lives. A man who must guard the woman but he failed to guard her brother years ago. A man who refused to walk to do penance for his parents but he may walk for love. A woman who won't speak after horrific loss of husband and child but speaking may be the only way to save a father and his daughter. A man must guard a porn queen who's actually shy and religious. A man must examine his feelings for a pregnant girl he saved... and the threat against his entire family of operatives. These are the men and women of Gray Wolf... and these are their stories.
These are not particularly deep, as I said before, and each novel is right about 200 pages long, so these are quick reads. They are not particularly soulful, eridite, or such. but they are good plotting and shows even formula doesn't mean bad writing.
