Review: Not a Shane and Trevor Love story
Rating: 2 out of 5

Yeah I was ticked about the price tag, but more so to read the book and realize it was more about setting up the next few books than about furthering the love story of Shane and Trevor. At the end of the last book, Trevor was kidnapped by Orion the snake shifter Shane was hunting. This new book is 118 pages long and the lovers are reunited on page 108. The rest of the book has Shane heartbroken at the loss of Trevor and doing every thing he can to find his lover. Meanwhile Trevor is being drugged and struggling to hold on to his love for Shane and his sanity.This book introduces Dalton a shifter who is rescued by Shane from the same people holding Trevor. He's actually a great character and likely candidate for a book shortly. Also featured in the book are Riley, the Eagle shifter; and Colin, his mentor and future love interest. A good portion of the book is told from Riley and Colin's POV, with their feelings and fights taking center stage.The really sad thing is that everyone of Stephani Hecht's books is extremely well written and has characters you want to get to know better. She has a great feel for the genre and I've read her first 5 or 6 books multiple times. They are outstanding and take a whole new look at love and finding your way past a person's exterior and past. But the last few have seemed almost gratutious in story line. If you took out all the parts setting up Riley/Colin and other single shifters the book might be 35-40 pages long. I did feel that Shane and Trevor had more to tell of their story, but 10 pages is all they get.I still love her EMS series and I'll keep buying them. I just think $10 is too much for 2 books that are combined about 230 pages long.
