Review: Plenty of intrigue and romance

I came back here to say how much I'd liked this story, and was a bit surprised that this book had some poor reviews. Most seemed to be complaining that it was a serial, but it's clearly labeled Book 1 so that didn't come as a surprise to me (it's possible that the labeling has been amended to make it clear this is part of a serial, of course). Anyhow...This is the opening of a bear-shifter serial and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Driving innocently along one night, Tricia and Daniella spot what looks like the scene of an accident: skid marks on the road and damaged trees where a car must have veered off. Worse, when they find the wreckage there's what looks like a dead body nearby. It's one of those classic moments where everything changes: normality abruptly shattered. The body turns out to be still alive, and Daniella is taken aback to find herself so attracted to the injured stranger. It's intriguing and hot, and you just have to keep reading. When the stranger gets taken in to the local hospital, things get more and more mysterious - this is far more than a simple romance! I do love this kind of suspense and intrigue in a story.I enjoyed this one a lot. I'm a big fan of serial fiction, and there's clearly still a lot more story to come: it's like watching a TV serial, and I get exactly the same sense of anticipation after finishing one part and look forward to the next. Of course, if it's TV you usually have to wait a week before the next part, but with this one I only had to wait as long as it took me to click through and find that the second book in this series is already available. I do like my Kindle! Particularly when I can feed my shifter romance habit with books as good as this.
