This is definitely one sexy shifter story!I loved the beginning and how everything's just thrown at you right from the start.  Laura's essentially forced into an arranged marriage by her father, supposedly for the good of their tiger clan, but... well, she's going to marry a bear.  James is kind of a brute, and more rough and rugged compared to the tiger's preferred sense of sophistication.  Can they get along when they come from such different places?  I guess we're going to find out!I really enjoyed the set up, though.  The arranged marriage idea was interesting, but not just that.  Laura's a little on the curvier side and doesn't think she's attractive.  She feels kind of like she's been thrown to the bears because of that, you know?  Why would a respectable tiger want someone like her?James isn't really into that.  By that, I mean Laura's a spicy little kitten waiting for someone to show her what's what, and maybe James can do it.  Except she's snooty and annoying.  And he's insensitive and speaks before he thinks, almost constantly.  So uh... they're not very well matched at first, but there sure is some great tension there.The tension is what really makes this story, because it's not just about them.  All of their friends and family are basically at war, though there's tentative peace currently, but... that's just not likely to last.  It's sort of a Romeo and Juliet love story, except with a rugged bear shifter and a curvy, saucy tiger shifter.If you like shifter romance, I'd definitely suggest checking this one out.  It's got a great premise, and the story is exciting and intoxicating throughout.  I enjoyed it a lot!
