Have to love a book that starts off good and steamy! WAM! The build was a bit slow on Kim and Erik's actual relationship, but effective, sensual and exciting just the same.A woman (Kim) who feels like a plain Jane has been having erotic dreams about one particular male for some time. She feels it's an impossibility to get someone so attractive to like her (even though she's yet to see his face). But behold! Once she meets her dream guy she sees the interest in his eyes and gets all flustered from the attention. Especially since she met him on the job. Relationships with clients are forbidden in the workplace. But it's hard to resist even the thought of it with someone as yummy as Erik Blackwell.Erik has had dreams about this beautiful woman for over 20 years. He knows she's his mate. But there is only so much he can share with her because he's scared she'll run away and he'll lose his one and only chance at claiming his mate. Trying to progress with many secrets becomes an impossibility. Now he just has to build the courage to let her know that he's a shape shifter. A black panther to be exact and that she is indeed his mate.It's so hard for them to resist the pull they have toward one another. Kim is confused as to what and why these feelings and the pull is so irresistible. Erik is completely irresistible to her. Little things bring out so much. Like in her dreams, he seems to know exactly what to do and say. Will they be able to become true mates before her heat is over? There are quite a few obstacles that get in the way or their relationship and its progress. Some that leave you cursing like a sailor. But regardless, if you are a lover of paranormal (especially hot shifters) you will love this book ;)I have to mention (because I took notice of it). There is not as much dialogue in this book compared to what one would normally see. It does not take away from the impact of it. But is different and I liked the style of it. We are more in the heads of the characters and got the full effect of what they were really thinking instead of just what was being said.
