Date: 01 11, 2014
This is a very engaging read. The storyline falls into the series by Ms. Gayle or can be a standalone read. Characters are well developed and entertaining.Kitty was a stuck up witch (with a Capitol B). She had been used and trained by her father. His idea of pure blood and elitist attitude had rubbed off on her. After his death, she is banished to the neutral zone (Deal’s Gap, North Carolina).As she has a pity party, her past catches up to her for an attitude adjustment.You will feel sorry for this character as she is beaten and left for dead. If you are from the southern states, you will understand many social and physical descriptions. They bring the story closer to believable and home.“Vacation my as*. More like indefinite exile, and to the neutral zone no less. The only people who belonged here where the half-breeds that no one knew what else to do with.” ~Kitty on her new homeBeing chased into wolf territory, she finds trouble. Beaten and poisoned, she is found by some unsavory characters from the wolf clan.Rafe finds and saves her. From the moment his eyes set on her, his soul knows she is his mate. Nature has finally sent him what he longed for…in the form of a cougar shifter.‘Whatever darkness had brought her to his doorstep they would fight together. That’s what nature called for when she delivered your mate.’ ~Rafe realizing Kitty is his mateKitty is broken and weak. When she finally begins to heal, she can sense Rafe’s desire to claim her. Even her own body begins to betray her. Intense physical longing is present; it jumps off the pages.“What are you planning to do that hasn’t already been done? I’ve been cast out, beaten, poisoned and left for dead. Give it your best shot, Romeo, but don’t f#*it up.” ~Kitty to Rafe, challenging himThese characters get you laughing and cheering for them as a couple. Enemies can be mates? In Eliza Gayle’s world, they can, and boy do they couple!Some of the sex scenes are intense and carnal. They make you blush as you read!However, in the end the fact they are two different types of species causes problems and opinions to fly like fur.“Snit? What the hell is a snit? I’m not some junior league would pretending to be human. I don’t know what kind of women you’re used to but cougars don’t do snits!” ~Kitty to RafeThe world of these shifters will draw you in and make you want more. You won’t be able to put this down. In addition, you will want more of this exciting shifter series.The Ratings*:Hero: 4.25Heroine: 4Story/Plot/HEA: 4*The rating system is based on 1-5, 5 being the best and 1 the worst.Hero - The main male character of the story.
