Review courtesy of All Things Urban FantasyFERAL HEAT pulls double duty and not only gives some more forward momentum to the Shifters Unbound series long story arc to find away to release the shifters from bondage but also finds room to have a fiery and passionate romance evolve. While I enjoyed the simmering romance between Jace and Deni, the thing that keeps me coming back to this series is the general plot premise surrounding shifters being forced by humans, to wear fae magic imbued collars that suppress their aggression and their mission to find a way to safely take them off. As the result of some very painful moments in FERAL HEAT, progress is made in the move to de-collar shifters and I continue to be absolutely riveted in finding out along with the shifters just how and when they can finally be freed.On the romance front of FERAL HEAT is of course the relationship between Jace and Deni. Their attraction is pretty much instantaneous which I wasn’t expecting but made sense given their personalities and what happens between them in the story. Their interactions ranged from endearingly sweet to super steamy. With the shorter length not allowing for a slow burn romance that I usually prefer I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the fact that they just speed through the hesitant beginnings of a romance. Jace and Deni both fit so well together that it just made sense for them to have an instant attraction.FERAL HEAT is a great bridge story between full length novels of Shifters Unbound. It everything you want from action and violence, to sweet passion and humor. The next Shifters Unbound novel; WILD WOLF comes out April 1, 2014.
