Dawn Steele's books are always creative, well crafted, and a little crazy. I loved the premise of "The Pretend Marriage," which takes the traditional "suddenly married!" theme and gives it an awesome shifter twist.Thinking on your feet can be good, but it can also bring a whole lot of trouble. This is where upstart businessman Jake lands himself when he shows off his sexy next door neighbor, creating a marriage that only exists in his own imagination. I kept flipping through the pages and wasn't disappointed when Terry found out about Jake's stunt. Her surprise and reluctant agreement to go along with the facade kicks the excitement up to a whole new level. And then the real fireworks begin...A simmering mutual attraction roils beneath the surface. It takes awhile for Terry and Jake to act on their emotional and carnal tensions, but when it happens, it's satisfyingly HOT. Werewolf and neighbor soon find themselves becoming husband and wife in all the usual ways, while rivalries behind the scenes threaten to implode everything.Dawn's Steele's hybrid storytelling never fails to impress me. Like others she's written, this book is a fine mix of New Adult, quirky romance, and paranormal drama. Shaken, not stirred. But more importantly - it works wonderfully! Hope to see her publish more shifter books in the future.
