**DISCLAIMER** I received a free copy of this book (an ARC) in exchange for an honest review.Grammatically the book was very well done with only a handful of misspelled words and errors. It was easy to read and engaging. I found myself continuously turning the pages to find out what happened and read most of this book in one sitting.Right from page one Ms. Young does an excellent job building the sexual tension between Jace and Meara, which led to some fantastically hot sex scenes! They were very well written and steamy. There was no flowerly language or cringe-worthy euphamisms. In fact, they were so well done I wished they'd been longer, or that there had been more of them. ;)The shapeshifter/paranormal aspect of this book was also very well done. The shifting between animal and human form was explained clearly and was believable. I really enjoyed how this part of Jace's personality, the part he was terrified of revealing to Meara, turned out to be what saved both of them in the end.I did notice some repetitive language. For example, Jace is always described as: "He slanted her a..." grin, sexy, smile, dirty look, etc. He's also described numerous times as "the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end" (or other variations thereof). Don't get me wrong, these are wonderful descriptions and work well to create the scene and the feelings of the characters, but they were used a few too many times for my liking.The only real issue I had was with the ending. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I'll simply say this: we found out "whodunit" but we're never give a reason why. This aspect of the ending seemed to be rather abrupt. Now, if this is the first in a series, then I hope the "why" is revealed in subsequent books. The ending between Jace and Meara was great and I'm very pleased with how things ended up for them.
