“As far as he was concerned there was nothing a bottle of liquor and a good woman couldn’t cure–but somehow, he didn’t think Val would appreciate those suggestions.”–Britton’s thoughtsThere are rivals, enemies, arch-enemies, and then there’s Britton and Val, two detectives who utterly despise each other. When shifter politics bring the two of them to solve a case together, they uncover a shocking secret–turns out, they don’t despise each other as much as they thought…“One single kiss and there’d be no turning back.”–Britton’s thoughtsI loved this book! This has two of my favorite elements that I love in paranormal romance novel. First off, we have a tortured alpha hero that is super possessive and crazy in love with his woman, and second, we have mates chosen by destiny as their key to eternal happiness. I loved the twist that the author put in this book as to why Britton didn’t know who his mate was at first. I also loved all the angst and realistic barriers put in place as to why their relationship might not work. Finally, I super loved the fact that despite all the challenges and huge barriers, our heroine Val is feisty and optimistic to make it work and fight for what’s hers. For heat level, I’d say it’s about about medium-high.This book flew by fast since I didn’t want to put it down. I haven’t read the first two books in this series, but I didn’t feel like I missed much since it seems that the previous books had the antagonistic parts of their relationship while this one was the start of something new. The shifter politics and mythology were explained well, and I thought there were unique elements to the usual shifter mythology that made the book even more entertaining. I especially loved the fact that shifters don’t mate for life–they mate for eternity, which is oh-so much more romantic!Overall, if you enjoy shifter paranormal romances, don’t let this one slip by! This is a solid 5 out of 5 for me.(Originally posted on my blog; I received a review copy in exchange for an honest an unbiased review.)
