PNR fans hang onto something because werewolf shifter Adam Sloan will sweep you off your feet.I am very hard on PNR. There seems to be too much plot recycling. Same story, different names. On the surface this is a formula shifter PNR troupe, but Lisa developed some world building elements that created a new and interesting dynamic between wolf shifters and their enemies the jaguar shifters. Every time I thought we were heading into shifter PNR cliché territory, the story would take a little unexpected turn or our hero would just be so damn charming I would forget. Kessler has a way of writing characters you will care about, even the bad guys. One of my favorite in this story is Sebastian, a jaguar shifter who will need a lot of redeeming, but I find that trait sexy. Add to this the fact that I adore forbidden love stories and she had me hooked.There was a moment when I thought I would have to go all *Bunny Foo Foo on the heroine because she was pulling the "I'll sneak away without telling my mate even though it will devastate me, but it is for his protection..", but she was saved from a bopping because she didn't get to do it, and I was impressed with Adam's reaction when he found out she was going to do this. He was mad, as he should be, and didn't welcome her with open arms. Kudos to Lisa Kessler for not letting the heroine off easy. That saved Lana a bopping on the head from me <G>.We meet many characters in this series debut and are given hints of future stories that need to be told. If you are looking for a fast read, because you won't want to put it down till you know what happens next, and one that satisfies that PNR itch then give this one a try.*Bunny Foo Foo is when a character acts in a way that makes me want to scoop them up and bop them on the head.4 Sheep[...]
