Book Blurb

Lyall knows he's the epitome of the bad boy that every good girl, or boy, is warned against. He needs the aggressive appearance, and lives up to it. You don't mess with him, or his pack family.

When his wallet is stolen, it starts a chain of events that turns his solitary life upside down.

How can he consider a feline mate? How can he consider a mate at all? Yet Niko is everything Lyall could want.

When their life is torn apart by another alpha shifter, they will both fight tooth and claw to be reunited.

 

Book Review

This captivating cross-shifter HEA romance has a terrific balance of sweet, tough, tender, and scorch. While the story focuses on the emotional characterization of its two leads—Lyall, the wolf and Niko, the feline—more than their “shifter pack life”, there are enough “dog and cat” nuances to make this palate cleanser a nice morsel of fun and frolic for anyone to enjoy.

I was particularly impressed by Niko whose ability to be a deadly feral creature one moment and a sensual purring lover the next was seamless and quite believable due to the author’s excellent action sequences and brilliant word choice. Lyall was equally captivating as the bad boy alpha who willingly hides his tender side to protect his pack of homeless omegas.  And kudos to the author for the characterization of the villain, Bryan. Despite his limited appearance in the book, Bryan makes for one nasty neighborhood bully whose gunfight-style showdown with Lyall and Niko gave this delicious little gem a short but powerful anti-bullying message.

There are a lot of sweet tender bits between the two boys as they dance the “I like you do you like me shuffle”, but sweet turns to spark and then scorch at all the right moments. Like some humanity with your shifter reads? I recommend this sleek little puppy. Thank you, Pelaam, for this great cross-shifter love story… my first time reading your work, but not my last.

“Tasty, Steamy, Romantic… with claws”
