Review: Desperate Shifters
Rating: 5 out of 5

OK, in my shifter books (of which I am a fanatic, especially of werewolves), the alpha is always rough and tough and usually gets his (usually) way most of the time. The mate is almost always meek and submissive (in attitude and in bed). Not so here. Iben the alpha is tough as all hell, but as a man, he just want to basically be cuddled (and in shifter books wolves can be very cuddly). Zack the omega and his mate is fierce and will protect what he believes in with his life.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The writing was taut and engaging. The characters were very likeable (except for the horrible ones who were despicable), and the storyline was fun.***Spoiler***Our alpha is over 200 years old but a virgin, because he's holding out for the right wolf. That's also different.People also speak of the "Big Misunderstanding". There is no big misunderstanding. Zack is simply not going to hop into Iben's bed just because the big bad alpha told him to. He's got some pride. That speaks to self-esteem.I wish this little book weren't so little, because it was a neat story. Please note that now werewolves were harmed in the writing of this book, except the ones that were, and they pretty much had it coming (just for building that awful house in the woods alone).
