Becky's review at Mrs Condit & Friends review blog: Drew is a wolf shifter who was under the domination of a cruel alpha who cast him aside to mate with a female. That left Drew ashamed of his human side and afraid of being rejected again. Kyle, the matchmaker/submissive of the Kennel Klub, a live-in BDSM club, takes the frightened little wolf under his wing and determines to find a Dominant that is the perfect match for him. He finds Theo, who is a cross between a circus lion and circus tiger, and carries his own baggage from seeing his parents abused by the “lion tamer’s” whip.The sweet part of this story revolves around the brush of the title. You’ve seen cats groom themselves. It therefore is no surprise that grooming becomes an important part of Theo’s care for Drew, and is what draws Drew to him as a submissive. Theo has also mastered the whip as part of how he helps his submissive. That part is a little cringe-worthy for me, but not a negative to the story since whips are part of the BDSM scene and Theo never uses it as punishment.I enjoyed watching both shifters grow and become more confident in their ability to be human and animal. There is a LOT of sex in this story. It’s hot, exciting, and a turn-on to read about how the cat-shifter and the wolf-shifter mate in human form, even though the wolf shifter is constantly fighting not to shift back to being an animal. This is a cute beginning to a promising series.
