Book Review

Short, sweet, sexy, and with some interesting interspecies dynamics, this shifter story made me laugh several times as the characters found their way into each other's hearts. For me, this story is a very promising start for a new series.

The idea of a wolf shifter becoming part of a lion pride alone is hilarious and shows potential. Matching the physically smaller wolf shifter, Adrian, with the almost overpowering lion shifter, Talan, makes for some interesting problems. Strangely enough the issue of a wolf getting along with a cat becomes minor pretty quickly. While I would have liked more exploration of that angle on one hand, I was pretty happy that the interpersonal dynamics took over. The focus was on Adrian's and Talan's personalities almost from the word go.

Adrian needs to prove, to himself as well as “the world” at large, more specifically, his mate, that he is not as weak as he seems. He has been overly protected by his older brother all his life, and doesn't want this to continue for the rest of his life. Luckily, he has a few aces up his sleeve that enable him to do this.

Talan is extremely possessive, and finds it hard to accept Adrian's need for self-sufficiency. I liked that Talan was so welcoming and warm, but was glad his sisters were there to knock some sense into him. He needed it!

If you like shifter stories, you'll probably like this one. It does assume you know a fair amount about them, so if you've never read one before, be ready for a few surprises. There's relatively little violence though, since these are very “civilized” shifters. I look forward to the next volume of the series!
