I like short stories like this one, but I'll admit that even though I love my alpha males, he came on really hard core in the beginning and I don't know anyone who would have responded to that. And yes, he was extremely crude. That is just not my thing. However, as he started to fall for her, he got a bit more sweet and not so crass that I started to like Josh a bit better. I'm actually not surprised that Mikaela responded to him after the initial scene, but I didn't expect for her to fall so quickly into that first scene at all. I guess the point was to show that they had an undeniable attraction.The other thing is...apparently, there is no loyalty in the family. If there is an "untaken" woman, it is a free-for-all as to who gets her regardless if one brother has apparently already slept with her and they can sense he loves her. Really? I guess being mountain lion shifters means there animal side doesn't support that.Last, how could one scene and a bite that she doesn't acknowledge lead to her being able to shift into a cat? They have sex, he bites her, she then shifts and off they go happily ever after. Again, I know it is a short story, but a few more paragraphs to flesh that out would have been nice.Overall, I did like the story and the context of needing to remain away from women to not force her to be your mate and thereby resulting in both their deaths is different.
