This is one character in the Lost Shifter series that I was looking forward to reading about. From the first Lost Shifter book, I absolutely fell in love with Doc Featherstone. His grouchy disposition, horrible bedside manner, and all around grumpiness intrigued me. Under his entire attitude, you could see he is loyal to the feline coalition, its leader Mitchell and the shifters whose lives he saves. The Doc uses his attitude to turn away Ash, a hawk shifter and his mate. His reasons for turning away his mate are really quite sad: his age (Doc feels that he is a little too old for Ash) and his family obligations (Doc's wealthy family wouldn't approve of him mating a male and another shifter breed as he is expected to carry on his family's bloodline). An attack on the feline coalition HQ changes everyone's lives as both Ash and the Doc struggle to cope with the mental and physical scars that the attack has left behind. Left paralyzed from the attack, Ash is really struggling to find a reason to live, let alone walk. Doc realizes that he is the key to bringing Ash out of his depression and giving him a reason to live. It's in doing this, that Doc's ability to really overcome his fears and let go of his family's expectations of him which frees him to love his mate. I would have to label Doc Featherstone as one of my favorite characters. His snarky attitude and sharp tongue is a front to hide the fact that he loves and respects the men and women of his coalition. A few editing mishaps are common in her stories, but not so much that it made the story unreadable and did not in any way deflect my overall enjoyment of the story. This is part of a series that should be read in sequential order to follow the storyline. Mz. Hecht did a good job with this story. I'm looking forward to reading more about my favorite type of animals: felines.Kiwi's 4 sweet pea review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=13135
