In spite of the title, which is appropriate but can make one think about those cheaply written but -oh, so- expensive shifter stories written a dime a dozen by unimaginative lady-authors for undemanding lady-readers, this M/M short romance is well constructed and enjoyable.Ms Bishop seems to have this taste for downtuning the supernatural to make it as little exotic as possible. SeeHow to Suck: the perils of love as a gay vampirea book I left aside after a couple of pages because it did not seem interesting enough.She seems far more interested in portraying circumstances and that she does well, depicting how suffocating and stuffy the shifter society can be.The story of Harlan and Shane is consistent, tight and well outlined. Characterization could have been more detailed. The doubts of the two leads are clear enough but more details (and pages) would have made for a more satisfying read.There is a couple of plot related sex-scenes and the required happily ever after.
