Shannon is a damsel in distress. After being accosted in a parking lot by several werewolves, who can smell that she is part puma, she flees to hide at the top of a tree. The threats keep coming until Anton, the next Alpha of the tribe comes to her rescue.Ms. Dohner has spun a Romeo and Juliet style story where the two species are at war, the pumas and the wolves. Anton is like the hunky Alpha heroes that this author has a knack for writing but Shannon isn't a simpering female. She's a bold, if skittish, heroine who is absolutely a complete match for Anton. Their bantering is laugh out loud funny, even though it does get campy from time to time. But the sex is scorching hot and I instantly started rooting for the adorable couple to get together.I do feel the need to warn about the rape scene. The warnings the publisher tagged this book with of a near rape scene is absolutely no exaggeration. Since this is a romance novel, you can be sure Anton comes riding in on his white horse to save the day (or would that be a black wolf...?) but it's a tad bit uncomfortable. But that was tame compared to the familial sub-plots that literally made my mouth drop open. It would be safe to say Ms. Dohner doesn't hold back in this book.For the women who love sexy Alpha heroes, I absolutely wholeheartedly recommend His Purrfect Mate to you. Even if you haven't read the first book, which I haven't, it wasn't needed to enjoy this story. I loved this book and Ms. Dohner has a clear winner here.Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews
