Review: OK, But not my favorite of the series

3 1/2-4 stars.  While I thought it was entertaining, I did not like it quite as much as the others in the series.  Here are my thoughts:What I liked:  Well written (I really love Ms. Lucille's writing style), timeline was smooth, very funny in parts, great characters (super possessive, alpha H, and sweet, yet strong-willed h), got to catch up with characters from previous books, nice and spicy with the right amount of suspense.  It also seemed a little longer than previous books--that's always a plus!What I wasn't fond of (and it's a biggie for me):  I felt there was a complete lack of build up to the relationship.  There was chemistry in the beginning, but it was more of a mating thing than love.  I realize the couple are not strangers to each other, and have not seen each other in two years, but they meet up within the first couple of pages, and are mating within the next couple of pages.  The romance (or lack of) seemed to be at a very even pace throughout the entire story--it kind of gave it a "bland" feeling to me.  I also realize the other couples in the previous books got together with their mates rather quickly, but there was tension and humor leading up to it.  I missed it in this one.While I wasn't as crazy about this one as much as the others, I would still recommend this entire series to anyone looking for fun, sexy, shifter books.  I am really looking forward to Cleo and Shawn's story!
