2-2.5 starsI really hated to give this story 2 stars because I kind of liked it (at least parts of it) but there were enough plot holes and things that didn't make sense that I just couldn't convince myself to give it 3 stars. This is the first story I've read by this author and based off this it's unlikely I'll try more of her work. Thankfully this was a freebie from Amazon so it wasn't a big loss.El is the Alpha of a pride of lions with a few other shifters added in, a hyena, a bald eagle, a tiger and a few other additions. El's pride used to be based in Africa but the tribesmen they protected for years turned on them and started selling off their lands and killing the pride. El and some of the pride moved to America where he set up an agreement with the government where he and his people would help with certain contracts and in return they were allowed to settle in the US and get paid for their work.Nae is a bounty hunter that's sent after a bounty for a man that's supposed to be El. She goes to a bar he's supposed to be at and ends up in the middle of a bunch of shifters. She announces she's looking for El and Zima (a female lion shifter) decides to try to kill her. Nae manages to stay alive until El shows up. She tries to take El in for the bounty but instead ends up carried off by him and they go off and have loads of sex for the night. Nae knows she shouldn't but can't seem to stop herself. It ends up that Nae is a special kind of human that's destined to be a shifter's mate and Nae is El's. Nae wants to leave but can't convince herself to. In the mean time, El and his people are trying to figure out why someone would send Nae after him for a fake bounty. By the end of the story Nae has decided to stay with El but the action plot isn't finished.There were some parts of the story I liked but so much that was wrong. There were some editing errors but I don't usually care about that. What I do care about is plot holes...like there's a couple times when people are injured but then their injuries are never addressed again. No cleaning the wound or wiping up the blood or anything like that. Also there's the fact that the intruder that set Nae up to hunt a bounty on El actually thought that Nae, a human, is going to be able to get El to go back to Reno with her?!?!? Seriously? She's a human and he's s shifter...how is that supposed to work?!?! Also, there was a big lack of description at times. People got brought in with no intro or background and you're left trying to figure out who people are and what they are in the pride. There were just a number of things that didn't work out or were left hanging. The sex scenes were alright but there were a coupe of WTF moments, like the first sex scene and the use of the word "honeypot" which was a little too cheesy for me.Overall, I can't really say the story was good but there were some good parts and one that even made me laugh out loud (literally). I'd term this as more interesting than good.
