This novella is so bad, I don't know where to start. The set up is a common thread in shifter stories, but I can accept that and move on. This is definitely an Erotica book because it is mostly sex with really no story. Don't get me wrong, I like Erotica and a really good love scene but this one left me high and dry. In the midst of the sex/love scenes in this story I actually had to look to see how much longer it was (and not 'Oh my why couldn't it be longer' but a 'Holy Cow I still have that much left to read of this crap.') Then there is the story that starts to unfold at the beginning but is never fleshed out once the sex starts. Whatever is so important that he is nearly killed guarding is never explained. The ending comes out of nowhere like the author was done writing her 30 pages of sex and needed to end the book. Then there is some of the language. I can't decide if the author was trying to use bigger words to sound educated, draw an educated reader, or just having fun with the synonyms button in Word. However, it doesn't work. Lets face it, anyone who picks up this story isn't looking for a language lesson and some of the terminology used takes the sincerity out of the book. Yes, I KNOW what "turgid" means but you won't hear me using that in my daily conversations and it is used multiple times in this very short story. Then there is redundancy issues like it wasn't edited before being published. Come on "trembling tremors" just sounds dumb and calling it her sex 10 times in a row to then switch to pussy for the next 10 times. It just bored me.Do yourself a favor and sit this one out.
