Book 3 "Cougar Falls" series. Preceded byIn Plain Sight. Followed byOutfoxed.Plot:Ty races to Nowhere, Washington to save the woman he lusts after. Only Julia and her sisters don't really need saving, but they do need love and acceptance. Can Ty give Julia her HEA? And when she really does need his help, will he be able to give it?Comments:- Contemporary paranormal (shape shifting, telepathy) erotic romance.- 2762 kindle locations, 37,089 words but finishes around 2460 locations.- m/f - explicit, reasonably frequent. Sex in shifted form. Caring, generous.- While "Foxy Lady" would pretty much stand alone, characters from previous book play a role.- We met Sheriff Ty in Book1, and he was told by Sarah in Book 2In Plain Sightthat Julia was having some troubles.- Includes excerpts fromTo Hunt a Sainteby Marie Harte,Serengeti Lightningby Vivi Andrews, andUndertowby Moira Rogers.Opinion:Marie Harte's "Cougar Falls" series are nice little stories with multiple shifter-types and sweet romances. Their animal spirits imbue their personalities (eg a fox is sly, a wolf is aggressive) and lend the characters some depth and motivation. The story itself, despite the many references to the "deep, dark family secret", takes a while to find it's feet. It drags, but does wind into a good little story of love, rescue and acceptance. I would have liked to see the story a little longer, and I would have liked to see Meaghan's story more fleshed out. But in the end it delivers what it intended - a simple shifter story with explicit erotic scenes and a believable HEA.3.5 stars rounded down. It fits well into the series and adds nicely to the World Harte is developing. But it could have been more.-CR-
