This was my first by these authors, and their collaboration was seamless. So often, it is obvious where the division is: the humor is one style, the sex another, etc. But this read as if by one author.I was pleasantly surprised at the pacing of this book. The first sex scene comes in half way through, and I think there are only four total. Sex is just one part of the story, despite the cover, which shouts Erotica! With Shifters!I didn't really care for the heroine. I can't pinpoint it, but I just couldn't connect with her. It was one of those situations where the brothers kept talking about how great she was, but where the reader doesn't actually get to see that. The two male leads were OK, although I didn't buy Axel as the oldest of seven. He seemed a little passive and angsty for Oldest Child. And I thought their brief interaction with their fathers seemed more like they were teenagers, than grown men. (Ugh)Not a lot of world building going on here, but I did like the family, their business and the setting. I will probably read at least one more by this duo; I am especially interested in sister Heidi's story.
