I've been a fan of Krista Lakes and her stories for awhile now, starting with all of the Kisses books and branching out from there.  To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to think of this one, since the premise seemed so different from those ones.  I love shifter romance stories, though, and so I definitely wanted to give it a try.I can safely say that I'm rather pleased with the outcome, too!Right from the start, this story pulls you into the lives of Chloe and Jackson.  What I liked the most about that is how they don't meet immediately and are brought together later, almost as if they were fated to meet.  This is really similar to what many shifter romance stories do, at least from what I've read, except this one takes an entirely different and unique route for that first" fated" meeting.  In fact, it's even kind of innocuous almost, except for the fact that Chloe is snooping around where she probably shouldn't be...Everything from then on becomes really interesting.  There's a love story in here, but there's so much more, too.  Military conspiracies, experiments, paranormal people and situations, and more than a fair helping of romance, too.  This story is literally everything that a shifter romance should be, but heightened even more and made better because of it.If you've read other books by Krista Lakes, I am positive you'll love this one.  If you haven't and this is your first, it's a great starting point!  Her writing is always poetic and emotional, with the story that I think every reader craves.I'd highly recommend Wolf Six's Salvation!
