"...I wasn't looking for my mate - our mate. And I damn sure never expected her to shoot me in the ass when I did find her."I love all types of sexy shifter stories, couple that with a story about 2 brothers who will mate with the same women, and hellllo sexy time. Beth is a scientist heading out on a summer research trip to study wild cougars. Little does she know she's set up her research camp right in the middle of a town with a shifter family, who just happen to be cougars. She meets the Falke brothers, feels an attraction to both of them and naughty thoughts start running through her mind.The Falke brothers, Kelan and Reider, know that they'll end up mating the same woman. This is how it's always been in their family. They're the youngest 2 in a set of quadruplets, their 2 older brothers have already found their mate (Falke's Peak). They also have younger siblings, triplets - 2 more brothers and their baby sister. The fact that the males in the family have always been able to shift has been a closely guarded secret their entire lives. They know what would happen if word got out, they'd be locked up and tested and any chance at a normal life would be gone.What I really liked in getting to know Kelan and Reidar was seeing how close they are as brothers (I guess they better be close if they're mating the same woman for the rest of their lives!) and how different their personalities are - which becomes so apparent as they get to know Beth. Kelan, being the oldest between he and Reider, will act as a sort of alpha in their relationship. He takes the lead, but he's a much more demanding guy than his brother, who's the cuddler. Who wouldn't want a sexy guy that loves to cuddle!**********Reider she adored for his softer side. He liked to cuddle, hold hands. He had an inherent tenderness about him that made her want to snuggle....)Kelan...She could spend the next eighty years with him and probably never know what his next move would be. Sweet and gentle or unmovable like granite. His eyes went from tender and loving to brittle with demand in an instant.Oh, did that ever turn her on.**********There is a small suspense element to the story, Beth's fellow scientists, one who's the professor in charge and another man assisting along with Beth, are all at the research base. Once Beth finds out exactly what her men can do, she's determined to keep their secret, but her fellow researchers think differently and put Beth's life in danger. The suspense storyline was just ok for me. What I enjoyed most about the story was seeing the Falke family together, bantering and the scenes between Kelan, Reider and Beth.This was an overall very fun, light read. It's book 2 in this series, but absolutely reads as a stand-alone, in fact I want to go back and read Falke's Peak now after getting a small glimpse at the family's alpha and eldest sibling Axel - he's growly and gruff and I like that, a lot! As I mentioned above, the danger Beth finds herself in, along with a Falke sibling played out fairly quickly at the end, but I really enjoyed getting to know the Falke's and seeing the brothers and Beth get closer.Blog rating: 3/5 stars
