I received this copy in exchange for an honest review.This seemingly innocuous contemporary interracial romance hides a side of shifter life seldom explored and is further paired with a mystery. Angelique Meadows finds herself in the enviable position of being desired in both her professional and personal life by the men she finds most intriguing. With David there is the business colleague she's secretly lusted after for months and with Gao she is an exotic beauty that he is convinced she is the mate he's desired for centuries.I especially liked the originality of the story but confess that seeing the same information from different points of view made some passages feel redundant and for this reader hurt the flow. Also I thought the relationship of Angelique and David went from nothing to something too quickly.Accessible multi-dimensional characters, a tortuous love triangle, and intriguing mysterious elements woven throughout make this an interesting read. That this author is adept at plucking the heartstrings is evident in the triangle when you don't exactly know who to cheer for.
