Ray, werewolf and police detective, is desperately in love with half-fairy police consultant Cal but will not tell him because he thinks that fairies are not able to commit in long term relationships. He thinks that because that is the common knowledge about fairies. At the same time he despises those humans who are afraid of him because of the stories about werewolves.This is all there is to this -short- novel, page after page of endless ranting and musing, pouting and groping and licking fingers covered in sugar. On an emotional level it sort of works and a certain amount of tension -sexual tension as well- is reached and maintained and allowed me to read this book through to its end and enjoy the happily ever after, but the impression that the plot was thin and overstretched lurked constantly.This is a pity. The premise was good, basic characterization well thought of. As it is clear that Ms Cooper can write, with a little more effort this could have been an excellent standalone or even the first episode of a successful series. The effort having been this, we have nothing more than a barely decent read for very undemanding M/M romance fans.
