I've noted previously that shapeshifter stories are a very popular sub-genre in gay-themed paranormal literature. I've read a handful of these novels, noticing that there are certainly a number of standard tropes ---clichés, really---that seem to occur in most of these books.Well, "Winter Wolf" is refreshingly free of most of these. It's a wonderfully sweet story---I really felt for Axton, who is lonely and growing tired of his solitary life when Leander shows up as the new neighbour next door.I thought the book was very well written, and the reader really does get a sense of the freedom, and of being one with nature, that Axton feels while in wolf form. The author did a fine job here. I see this is her first book, and I very much look forward to seeing what she will do in the future. Recommended!
