Review: A great shifter romance

I have not read the other books in the series but had no problem with jumping right in. This story is primarily about Javier and Heidi but you do meet Heidi's family which is where the previous books focused on. Four of her brothers are mated but even though Heidi is a shifter, she's never shifted. Which means that she can marry but she will never have kids unless she mates with another shifter, but she's never even met a shifter outside her family. That is, until an injured male jaguar is plopped into her lap.There is nothing shocking or surprising to this story. I knew how everything was going to play out the second I started the book, but it was an enjoyable read regardless. Javier was definitely an interesting character. He's fighting the demons from his past. He feels he failed his mate and his brother when they were killed in his absence. So when he starts developing feelings for Heidi, he feels like he's dishonoring his wife by moving on. He was also the alpha of his family, so when Heidi brings him home to a house filled with males, he refuses to cower as a submissive but he also knows not to challenge them either.Even though you don't need to read the previous stories in this series, I think I may go back and start from the beginning. The author has a writing style that I highly enjoy. She gives the reader a good mix of show and tell. There isn't a lot of filler or random ramblings in this story, just a great shifter romance.
