Book 1 of "Mates of the Lycaon". No further books at the time of this review.Plot:Kaitlyn is torn from a railway station in Chicago to her two Dream Men in Selaryica, an alternate reality where Magica are Mean and Shifters (Lycaon) are normal. Kaitlyn has two weeks to decide if she will stay with her Soul Mates, or if she'll return to Chicago with a broken heart, and a safe, normal life without her Lovers.Comments:- Contemporary paranormal with shape-shifting, alternate reality and explicit menage sex- 2241 kindle location (novella).- m/f, m/f/m - explicit, frequent. Includes some bdsm-behaviour (spanking, anal, bondage). No m/m.- Self-published in 2011. Bast has been widely published, including books through Ellora's Cave, Berkley and Samhain publishing houses. For whatever reason she has chosen to strike out on her own with "Keeping Kaitlyn". I don't know what her non-self-published books are like, but "Keeping Kaitlyn" would have benefited from tighter editing and proofreading. Nothing too dramatic, but it wouldn't have hurt.Opinion:I want the next book. Bast has written an interesting World with plenty of hot sex and an intriguing plot premise; I want to read the next book. It's as simple as that. I liked it. It appealed to me. And I want to see how the story pans out. "Keeping Kaitlyn" is all World set-up - not much happens, not a huge amount of drama or suspense. But a lot of promise of more to come.-CR-
