What really stands out for me in this story is the building romance between a man, beaten down by racial intolerance, and a woman who is seeking a peaceful existence in her remaining months of life.  I like how quickly Nikki Matthews (main female character) catches onto the racial intolerance shown towards Michael de Roumare (main male character).  She reacts quickly and with anger - something to be admired and is telling of her good character.  I've gotten so used to all the angsty stories lately and it was refreshing to read a story without all the 'road-blocks' to falling in love.  These two simply belong together and they are quick to realize their feelings for one another.Something is going on in the town, something bad.  Women have been murdered and guess who is being blamed for it?  I liked this mystery element - kept me wondering who was behind the horrible murders.  There are also very bad hunters killing wolves and terrorizing the residents who get in their way.  It was like the 'local hunter mafia' had rule of the small town!  The local police also seem to be racist.I admired Nikki's complete belief in Michael and her willingness to put her money into helping him stay free.  She didn't hesitate to help him when he needed it and he wasn't too proud to take her help.  A strong man - YES.  A man who accepts help he knows he needs is a very attractive guy.  Michael isn't an ultra-alpha man......refreshingly different and yet, all man.Overall; I found this story very interesting.  I'd read it again.  It was a quick read - not real long.  For the length the author packs a good amount into the story.
