First book in "Shifting Realities" series (followed byMy Demon Saint).Plot: When Margo meets her on-line crush, Thomas, hormones fly. But is she willing to loose her heart and her control for a man who thinks he can turn into a lion? Even worse, what if he really can?Comments:- An unusual Paranormal romance. The paranormal aspects are vital for the plot but treated as "normal" by the characters. This book may not appeal to readers of traditional Shifter fare, with the modern world, city-living aspects and non-alpha cat shifter, but IMO it works.- This book is disappointingly short (1667 kindle locations, but the story itself finishes at 1339). While the story is complete, it feels like we are rushed to the end instead of savouring the sub-plots. We meet some really interesting characters but don't get to see any of their stories. It could be argued we will meet some in later books, but I can't see why we would ever see Slayer or Kasey and Bryan again. And that is a shame.- The sex is good and works within the plot. Some anal-play and references to kink.Opinion:I enjoyed this book a lot. Yes, it was short but then it's also cheap. I liked the "meeting on-line relationship" part but did feel there were some Good Ideas that weren't well developed (opportunities missed). It will be interesting to see how Saint and Mac are developed in future books.
