3.5-4 starsThis was a pretty good story and I liked Maya and Alex. The story was pretty typical PNR fair as far as story line goes but it was infused with a bit of humor and outrageousness that kept me interested.Maya is a BBW that's nice and has a bit of spirit. She was recently in a relationship with a guy who sounds like he was rather unadventurous and didn't treat her very well. Now she wants forget about the breakup and to do this she's decided to indulge in a one night stand. Maya goes to a club where a woman she knows tells her she's sure to get some action. Maya think she's going in to something like a swingers night at a shifters club when in reality it's their mating festival.Alex is a lion shifter and the Prime (alpha) of their pride. He's secure in his leadership and is overseeing the mating festival taking place at a shifter owned bar (people know shifters exist in this world but most people don't know who the shifters are). He's surprised to see a human woman walk in that's not one of the pride's human "familiars" and no other humans should be there. He has he brought to his office, intending to throw her out. Plans get changed when he realizes that she's his fated mate.Maya gets to the bar and is surprised that so many men seem interested in her. She's a BBW (or as she calls herself, fluffy) and doesn't usually have men appreciating her attributes so well. Her last boyfriend certainly didn't. She ends up escorted to an upstairs office and there she meets Alex. She sees him and is all "here kitty, kitty" (in her head of course) because she wants him badly. He seems mad at first but as he breaths in her scent he seems to have a harder time pulling back and soon they're on each other. They end up in bed together and while Alex doesn't tell her she's his mate, he does get her to promise to stay the night and let him feed her breakfast the next morning. She should have lived up to her promise because Alex bit her during sex which starts the transformation process for her...into a lioness. She leaves and Alex realizes a smidge too late and is frantic to find her. He finds her before anything bad happens but not without some unexpected help and even then it's a close call. Alex messed up majorly and has to do some grovelling to get back in Maya's good graces. Fortunately for Alex, Maya's lioness is all for claiming her mate so it doesn't take too long before their making up and starting their HEA together.I enjoyed this story. Alex and Maya made a good couple and the story was fun and kept me interested throughout. I'm looking forward to trying more of this series. I'd recommend this story. :D
