I love shifter stories a lot!  There's something really nice about a more contemporary, casual setting mixed with a bit of fantasy paranormal aspects.  Better Mate than Never definitely doesn't disappoint in those regards.The thing I liked the most about this story is that there's a long history between Paige and Caleb that's gone unexplored before any of the events in the book.  There's nice spark and chemistry going on immediately because of that, but it doesn't seem forced or unreal, you know?  Books that kind of just start off somewhat unrealistically like that (even paranormal books) can be a bit of a turn off sometimes.  This one just drops you into the action, yes, but there's reason and purpose behind it that makes sense.The heat and chemistry just picks up from there, too.  The first scene was one of the sexiest I've read in a long time, and the rest of the intimate scenes were amazing, too.  There's a wonderful story weaving the relationship together, though, with some suspense, some flirty funny lines, and a little intrigue.Overall, it's really exactly what you'd expect and want from a good shifter romance.  I've read a few books from Adriana Hunter so far, and they're all good, but this one is one of my favorites!
