PLOT: Alycia is a vet. She's kidnapped by Barrick - her soulmate from another dimension. Barrick is a shifter. He's covered in fur and has stripes.PROS: Good original ideas are presented here. The plot moves fast and smooth. Alycia and Barrick are likeable characters. You'll find yourself rooting for them to get together.CONS: Some more detail in some areas was needed. Like how the mist that managed to let Barrick cross dimensions worked. Or how they spoke the same language. Some more detail about Barrick's appearance would have been appreciated, also. Does he have a tail, pointy ears, etc.?The end felt a little rushed. Suddenly we're supposed to believe that Alycia loves Barrick after they've known each other for a very short period of time.The public sex scene just didn't make any sense. She didn't even object though she'd objected to being made to wear a skimpy outfit prior to this.4 STARS: Very good story and likeable characters. I just wish there were more of it. Given a longer story, I think the author could have cleared up some of the questions I had.
