Review: 2.5 stars for a very annoying heroine.

Let's get one thing straight- I don't put up with bad books.  I wanted to love this book so badly, mainly because I LOVE big cat shifter books.  I love all shifter books, really, but cats are far and away my favorite.  I loved Rafe and his pride.  They were exciting, engaging, and just downright awesome.  It was Jazz/Jasmine that I had the problem with.  Now, granted, I understand completely the need to be wary and judgmental of the shifters and being protective of your shifter kids but I feel like if Jazz would have just COMMUNICATED (pure and simple) with Rafe and explained about Calum and Nina it would have been a lot easier than swallowing the horse pill that the book steadily became.  At 66% Jazz begins the decent into monumental bitch territory and it just became too much to handle.  One minute she's being seduced by Rafe and having amazing sex with him but the next, she is absolutely fighting him tooth and nail, despite the fact that he is protecting her and her children- proving himself a good man.  I found myself growling in frustration and wanting to beat my head against the wall for Jazz being so damn stubborn.On a positive note, the pacing and most of the character development was great.  The sex scenes were scorching hot and the story moved along nicely.  I just wish the protagonist was a little more tolerable.  The main character really is the deciding factor in tipping the scales between good vs. bad books.I will look for future books from this author, hoping and praying that Mrs. Corrigan conjures more acceptable leads.
