I have been reading Ms. Dohner's books for several years, and have usually been able to like her female characters, but not Mika. She acts like a baby and whines through the whole story. She's a human adopted by a werewolf mother and human father. Her Uncle Omar, a were enforcer, loves her to death. She visits him each year for 2 weeks. This year she comes in the middle of mating heat for the weres. After she is almost gang raped by 4 weres, she is rescued by her equally shallow hero, Grady. Instead of Shannon being responsible for her own safety and well-being, she constantly whines about not knowing what is going on. Hey, ask Uncle Omar or at least pretend to listen to Aunt Minnie, Omar's girl friend, when she tries to explain everything to you! Please!!! And, as for Grady, it's mating heat time, so you know what he cares about! Even he whines the only time Mika takes a stand for herself-"I want things like they were before," meaning a willing bed partner with no regard for anything else. Hey, and he won't "mate" with her so what's the big deal? Instead of the tension between the characters moving the story forward, it just became tedious. Even the over the top, let's have sex every time the reader turns the page became boring. I skipped most of the last half of the book. So, why did I finish it? I kept hoping that Ms. Dohner would finally make the characters more appealing. Sadly, that did not happen. My advice, skip this book in the series and move on to the second book, His Purrfect Mate. The books do not have to be read in order.
