The book begins by introducing Jayden. He is the roommate of Violet's fiance. They walk in on him and another woman. The fiance tries to hit Violet but Jayden steps in and takes the fiance to the ground. When Jayden takes Violet home, he agrees to be her roommate. Sometime later the fiance goes to the apartment to get Violet back. She doesn't want him anymore and he hits her. In an effort to heal her, Jayden and his brothers heal her while transforming her into a bear shifter in the process. They realize she's their mate and it progresses from there.What I have just described takes up about 25% of the book, if memory serves me correctly.One GIANT negative: I read this book before I read Suddenly Wolf. I am glad that I started that book before writing this review. I see a huge similarity in one scene in particular. One of the men removes the female's bra and sees red lines where the bra was digging into her. He says "no more bras", she says "but-" and he interrupts with "no buts". This scene with the same words is in both books. I do not like that.I like that Violet and Jayden were already building a bond between them. I don't like how angry Brandon seemed. The brothers' father was upset about the relationship. It was expressed a few times but played no role in the plot. I also felt the epilogue was very short; I wanted more. Finally at points it seemed like I wasn't reading the first of a series (I may be wrong, is this the first of this series?). Two other women in shifter bear menages were mentioned but they do not appear in the book.If you have questions, comment and I will answer. I just wanted to give an idea of the book as this is the first review.
