Stephan (Caveman Instinct #1) By: Hazel Gower

(N) This is the first book in the Caveman Instinct series. Stephan Silverman always thought his family was cursed, centuries ago his family helped gypsies and as a reward the Silvermans were given the gift of prosperity and the ability to know when they meet their soul mate. To most people in Stephan's family they see this as a gift but not Stephan because what no one tell you is that when you meet your soulmate you turn into a complete caveman.
      Stephan never wanted to meet his soul mate, never wanted this gift that his family members want so badly. He was just happy with his privileged life, having a new woman every night and having no woman every saying no to her. Stephan had his whole life planned out just the way he wanted it, that is until Jade Black came into town and changes everything. Stephan knew the moment that he laid eyes on Jade that she was his soul mate. There was just one problem he was having trouble convincing Jade of that.
      Jade is just a few months away from her eighteenth birthday and finally get the chance to be free and have the ability to have a say in her own life. Jade cannot wait until she can graduate from high school and get into a university where she can get a degree in child care. Jade wants to be able to live the life she always dreamed of and not the crappy life that she was given. She was so close to this dream that is until her mother died and because she was not yet an adult had to chose between being put into the foster care system or live with the only relative she had left her deadbeat grandfather in Reed Creek. She chose to live with her grandfather and deal with him until she could graduate from high school. But life is never simple neither is high school once Jade grabs the attention of Stephan Silverman.
      Before reading this book I did look at the reviews because I was not sure if I wanted to read it just yet. There were many reviews that gave this book a low rating saying that it was rushed and while I do think that at some points it did seem as though the book was rushing overall it was not nearly as bad as the reviews made it seem. But one issue I did have was that there was a lot of grammatical and sentence structure errors. I was able to figure out what the author meant but it took reading the sentences a few times to grasp it. If you are someone who does get turned off a book because of these types of errors then I suggest maybe choosing a different book to read. But if these issues don't bother you then I say give this book a try.
