Review: Good story, but rather rushed feeling

A quick read with a bit of heat and at least once beefy shifter dude. For the most part this book follows a common plotline of males having to compete to win the right to mate with a very eligible and desirable young female, but it does put in a few quirks of its own.Overall I enjoyed this book, though I did find it a bit disjointed as the action often skips right from one thing to another with very little transition or explanation. Not so badly that you can't understand what is going on, for there is enough basic explanation provided at all points to allow you to follow the story easily, but the relationships especially seem to develop with little reason behind them. For instance, while there is obviously immediate and intense chemistry between Jenifer and Gryph, they go from simply being in lust to being ready-to-die-for-you in love with one another seemingly overnight with very little buildup or getting-to-know-you involved. Yes, much of it can be explained via the concept of destined mates, which I'm sure is what is intended to be involved here for them, but I still would have liked to have seen a bit more progression to their relationship besides going straight from "you're hot and I want to do you" to "I love you so much and I'm willing to die for you".In summary, I'd say this book is a nice way to kill a few hours, and it won't take you much longer than that to read it. It's quick, it's simple, and there's a few smoking hot sex scenes along the way to keep it interesting. Anyone into shifters will probably want to check this one out.
