This shifter romance isn't bad at all, but I have read better. There just seems to be something missing from it. The story idea is good, wolf-shifter pack in southern Alabama with the alpha falling for a human who works for him, and both leads and the setting are decently developed. I guess I feel the sexual tension could have been more, well, tense. The relationship between h/H seemed too easy, with the main conflict too easily resolved.The heroine was going to break up with H because he's always busy (with pack business but she doesn't know he's a shifter) and never checks in or calls. For the month they've been together, he just shows up on Friday nights for some wild sex at her place. She loves him but is feeling taken for granted, and even used. He's clueless until she breaks it down- either step up and be with me the way I need you to be or we're done.That's basically what the book revolves around, the hero trying to be what the heroine needs- more available, more emotional, and to do that, he has to show her what he really is. I wanted this to be more problematic than it was, but it was really pretty cut and dried. From the blurb, I was expecting a little more excitement or conflict or action. I don't know. It wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be.Also, at the end, the author introduces a group of rogue vamps new to the area. I thought I was going to get more action and excitement that way. Maybe the h would be kidnapped or threatened or something, but that didn't turn out the way I was expecting. I'm thinking it was just to set up a future book to go with this one.I do like this author, but this story was only average for me, not bad but not really good either.
