Book 2 "Forbidden Passions".Print edition (anthology of the four books) "Forbidden Passions".According to the book description, "This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release".Plot:She thought Jason had dumped her. He thought Celeste was dead. Coming together in a hurricane with a psychotic wolf after them can only be the making of their HEA.Comments- Contemporary paranormal (shifting) erotic romance with mild suspense.- 1590 kindle locations, 24,819 words (but finishes around 1400 locations).- f, m/f - explicit, frequent, loving, occasionally aggressively hurried, or sweetly slow.- This is a series - characters and plot arcs play roles in every book and the series should be read in order. But it isn't completely necessary, and the series could be comfortably begun here.- We end "Passions Recalled" on a HEA-for now, with our heroes heading into a bright future but some answers are yet to be found.- Includes excerpts from "Fireworks" by Loribelle Hunt, "Stolen Passions" by Crystal Jordan, "Tempt Not the Cat" by JC Wilder.Opinion:For what it is, the story is well told, it moves the multi-book plot forward, the sex is hot and plentiful, and the HEA something the reader is cheering for. BUT it's a novella. If you are looking for a lengthier tale, this is not the one for you. Taken in total, this should be a good series, but you may choose to wait.Overall, I am really intrigued by the over arching plot - there are enough teasers in each book to keep me guessing. But I also enjoy the sweet romantic suspense in "Passions Recalled" for what it is - a comfortably complete paranormal novella. This novella works for me. Recommended.The "Forbidden Passions" series:The series revolves around the leopard shifter First Family, the Leonidas', and their rivalry with the wolves. Authors Crystal Jordan and Loribelle Hunt take turns to write a book.Book 1 "Stolen Passions" by Crystal Jordan - Zander Leonidas and wolf shifter Lyra  Marcus (niece to the Wolf Alpha).Book 2 "Passions Recalled" by Loribelle Hunt - Jason Leonidas and human Celeste Lykaios (daughter of wolf Alpha).Book 3 "Fleeting Passions" by Crystal Jordan - Adrian Leonidas and Cleo NemeanBook 4 "Renegade Passions" by Loribelle Hunt - Nico Leonidas and Ajax Petros (eagle messenger).-CR-
