This was an easy fun read that I read in one go! It's a short story that is set in the authors Crescent Moon series and although characters from previous books do crop up it's not imperative to have read them in order. This novella is easily read as a standalone book although obviously I would suggest reading the others in this shapeshifter series.Ms Stuart tells the story of jaguar shapeshifter Ella and her chance meeting with über sexy werewolf Asher, a meeting that will literally come back to bite her ass! What she thought would be a one night thing and never repeated turns out to be way more than that. Ella didn't dream that they would ever meet again and yet here Asher is walking into her new pack and he sure seems like he's set to stay. More to the point Asher doesn't want to forget their night of passion and it looks like he's hell bent on reconnecting with Ella!Ella doesn't want to get hurt anymore and fights her attraction for the tempting wolf by burying her head in her work. Problem is her work is putting her in danger and there's only one person she trusts enough to turn to, Asher.This was a great read. It's wonderful to read something by someone who knows how to write a good story and doesn't just rehash other books. Great characters that are just so likeable and a story  full of suspense. My only surprise was that with all the sexual chemistry between the two leads they managed to keep their hands off each other until nearly at the end! So many shifter stories have them jumping each other continuously because of being fated mates. Ms Stuart allowed her characters to get to know and learn to love each other which made for a very satisfying romance.A quick and exciting read and if you like this then you really have to try her other books written under the name of Katie Reus
