Review: Great story, well written, but a little shorter than I hoped.

This book as well written, which is greatly appreciated.  The characters really have some depth, and there was some action and minor conflict as well.  The romance was exactly what you expect in a shifter story (the standard mate thing), which was well played out and not overly obtrusive, although it served as the basis for the entire story, of course.  I enjoyed this book immensely, and would recommend it.  My only minor complaint is that it could have been so much better if it were longer.  I read the whole thing in about 3 hours.Quick plot summary: Traum-repressed wereGirl travels to the Yukon to join her sister's pack after running away from all things wolf for 7 years following a trauma.  She passes out (chemical imbalance from being a loner) in the arms of her sister's Beta, who happens to be her mate.  She freaks and resists, but he is very patient and understanding (to a fault, but I guess it's a Beta thing) while she figures it out.  Meanwhile, she is randomly selected to join in the Werewolf equivalent of the Olympic games, sort of, which is a team sport.  Of course her mate was selected, too.  They learn about each other while on this hiking, puzzle-solving, racing, canoeing adventure.  He remains patient and eventually helps her reveal her trauma (was attacked by her former pack), thus releasing her wolf, and the hero gets the girl and lives happily evetr after.  I won't tell you if they win the game, though.  :)
