Sanura is an anxious weretiger.  The day has come for her to select a mate.  Out of her 3 attractive candidates, she selects Kazim, the most obvious choice.  And, she immediately tests his fortitude as a lover.  The act causes Kazim to develop strong feelings, while Sanura is left satisfied but not smitten.  But the two don’t have long to enjoy their coupling.  Danger is coming to their home.  As an alpha, it is important that Sanura help protect the clan at any cost.Life for the entire weretiger clan becomes threatened by an avid hunter named Flynn.  He enjoys the sport of chasing women and game animals alike.  When Sanura sees Flynn one night as she stalks him in the dark, she’s taken aback at how handsome he is.  She switches into her human form and approaches him.  Flynn is shocked to see a woman—let alone a gorgeous woman—walking around the jungle at night.  Their attraction is mutual, and Sanura soon find herself pining for the human that could endanger her position as a powerful weretiger.This paranormal short story was an admirable attempt at erotica.  The literary world is so inundated with werewolf and vampire erotica that it was nice to read something different.  But as I read through the pages, I realized this book was a missed opportunity to explore something untapped and bring it to an audience pining for new and exciting things.  The setting is very unclear, though I assumed it takes place in India or a similar Asian country.  The characters had no depth.  And, most of the dialogue is unrealistic.  It is a shame.  Imagine a beautiful Indian backdrop with sexy weretigers and dangerous hunters.  It would have been awesome!Then, there is the idea that a jet-setting playboy would decide—in 2014—to go hunt tigers, a protected species.  It is not very plausible.  And he almost seems obsessed by it, but there is really no reason given why he feels so compelled to hunt tigers.  The intimate scenes were a bit basic, but might appeal to some readers who want a more straight-forward and cruder approach.Overall, I would say that most fans of erotica will not like this book, and might be disappointed.  For this reason, I cannot recommend it.
