This review will appear at My Secret Romance Book Reviews.Paranormal romance has always been a favorite of mine. Collared for a Night is no exception to that. It's fast, hot, dirty and intense.Diana is an untrained alpha leopardess. She's in heat and needs some relief. She contracts with a local club that caters to single shifters in heat and needing relief. What she doesn't realize is her boss is part owner of this club. He sees red when he finds out she's there for the night. He decides to take things in his own hands.Diana's boss, Shawn, is powerful in his own right. He's an alpha leopard, on the shifter council, businessman and all around badass. Diana is badass in her own right she just doesn't know it!This story is non-stop seduction, sex and domination. Of course, it's exactly as expected based on the description of the book. The attraction between Diana and Shawn was hot. I love that Diana didn't just fall at his feet. With her being an alpha leopardess, it fits with her character. It also fit with her to be reserved and cautious. She wasn't so cautious and reserved that it spoiled the story. It was the right amount.Shawn was determined to have Diana. He was patient and relentless. He was understanding and played within the boundaries set at the beginning of their liaison, no matter how badly he wanted to break those rules.There were several things I found interesting in this story. One. Shifters are not unknown to humans. There wasn't any explanation of how or why, it just was. It worked for this story and I didn't feel anything missing for it. That wasn't the focus of the story. Two, because Sean was wearing condoms when he mounted Diana, he couldn't always tell when her orgasm was coming. I actually found this endearing and realistic. Third, there was some medical/psychological stuff that was a bit out there, but again, it worked for this story. It wasn't over the top and it worked within the confines of this story.This was my first story by Susan Arden and I will definitely be checking out more.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
