NO SPOILERS or plot summaries. Recommendations included.HIGH LEVEL: This little book  is #1 of the paranormal romance/erotica series "Cougar Falls" that features a variety of shifters. There is really only one thing that will influence how much you will enjoy this book- assuming you generally enjoy this genre in the first place: Would you find a ménage encounter between one sexy lady and three hot brothers erotic? That is the only question to ask yourself. If you find your curiosity piqued or you KNOW you would, then read this. If not, then move on to something else.Reading order in the series:Rachel's TotemIn Plain SightFoxy LadyCHARACTERS: All these characters are sweet and sexy. It's a quirky little town with quirky people. This is a FAST read, so not a lot of development. I was actually surprised at how well the entire town was depicted in such a short book. While no one was fully developed, I got a good sense of the character of the place.PLOT: Again, this is a novella in a genre known for keeping things simple. Not a big plot line here- but for what it is, it's well done. It is definitely more creative than most I've read and opens up a world of possibilities for future books. All told, brilliant execution through simplicity.BOTTOM LINE: Recommended if you are up for some erotically messy f/m/m/m- no BSDM or m/m. This book is what it is and either you'll have fun with it or you won't.RECOMMENDATIONS: (some of these are more erotic than others...)1.
