Review: Short erotic shifter book with plenty of HOT sex.
Rating: 4 out of 5

"Reluctant" fits into the Cascadia Wolves series, but is technically a "prequel" to the first bookEnforcer (Cascadia Wolves). It would standalone.Plot:A one night stand turns into an unexpected mating.Comments:- A very short book (just 913 kindle locations). But it isn't trying to be anything other than a short erotic shifter book.- The way Dane explains it, this is a book that wasn't going to be written. However, she was given the opportunity to write a "Quickie" and so produced "Reluctant". The story of Layla and Sid is heavily referenced in "Enforcer", but "Enforcer" certainly doesn't need "Reluctant" to make sense. It also has nothing to do with the Pellini/Werewolf Mafia story arc of the Cascadia Wolves series.- Sex is m/f with an explicit m/f/m encounter and (short) shifted sex in the woods. And the sex is HOT, loving with lots of foreplay (no wham bam here).- Timeframe is just three days.Opinion:This book does not claim to be anything it isn't. The plot is simple (Layla doesn't want this life changing event but she has no real choice) but Dane makes it work. The sex is hot and frequent but it isn't the only thing you remember about the book. Layla has depth, as do the sub-characters of Shane and Tia. You want Layla and Sid's HEA to work. And it is a nice taste of the world of Cascadia Wolves.
