This is the second in the series.  The first is "Winning The Alpha".  I read this one first; it stands alone just fine.  This book is one of the best BBW shifter romances out there.  The female lead is strong and the relationship with her male counterpart is complex, sweet and thoughtful.  It's not poisoned by an overdose of hyperbole.  Some BBW shifter books are just way too "damsel in distress".  This is nothing like that.  In this book the female lead is real, solid, competent and truly a hero.  This is done really well.  She is treated as a whole person.  In fact, she is not a "strong female" at all; she is a strong person.  It's great!  Wilder manages to get her lead well and truly romanced by a man without making any insinuation that her gender implies ownership by the man.  There is no "claiming".  They fall in love.  It's really freaking nice.  And the sex is great!
