FERAL HEAT is the latest novella in Jennifer Ashley’s contemporary, adult, paranormal Shifters Unbound series focusing on the collared shifters of Shiftertown USA. This is Jace(snow leopard shifter) and Deni’s (lupine) storyline-Deni’s mind has been damaged from a near fatal accident that left her dying and struggling to survive and Jace has been invited to Shiftertown, Autstin, Texas in an attempt to discover a method to remove his Fae-magic infused collar without the government knowing.The premise follows Jace as he finds himself caught up with a female wolf who calls to the beast within.  Jace is in town at the invite of the local controlling shifter but his visit has not been sanctioned by the humans who patrol shifters and the towns in which they live.  As the humans begin a door to door campaign looking for someone who does not belong, the relationship between Deni and Jace becomes more than just sex-Jace’s leopard has found its mate-and Deni is the object of his desires.FERAL HEAT explores the relationship between two shifters whose beast runs close to the surface –welcoming any attempt where the possibility of going feral is not far behind.  We watch as Deni learns to control the deeper animal instincts of her kind with the man who is able to control her beast with just one touch.Jennifer Ashley has written another welcome storyline where two more shifters find the mate of their heart-the other half of their soul.The world building continues with each successive storyline as our shifters must confront discrimination, specieism and prejudice from both the human world and from within.  If you are a fan of the shifter paranormal storylines, then Jennifer’s Shifters Unbound is a welcome series for anyone who loves the possibility of a happily ever in a world that we can only dream (about).I was gifted a copy.
