Review: Convincing and seductive

I've always enjoyed stories set in the wilds. When I was a kid it was those talking animal stories and now that I'm all grown up I've moved on to shifter romances and I can't get enough. I'm not easy, though. For these stories to work for me, I need to be really convinced: the werebears in Bear King's Curves are written with a naturalist's eye, but then, equally, the humans and the shifters in human form are written beautifully - characters that are convincingly human, with human needs and flaws. Characters you really care about. I'd read Mitchell's work for that aspect alone, but there's much more in here. I'm all for explicit steaminess, and Bear King's Curves delivers admirably on that front, but what I really like in a romance is a story - and characters - that lure me in. A girl likes to be seduced, after all! Mitchell does a fabulous job of building the passion and intensity in this book; combine that with the wonderfully naturalistic writing and action that has you on the edge of your seat and you just can't go wrong. Great stuff!
