I definitely enjoyed reading about the budding relationship between these two characters that was hinted at in the first novella in the series.  This novella is less focused on sex, and more on relationship building than its predecessor.  It makes the novella feel more realistic, but still has the same can’t put it down, explosiveness (if not more so).  It was also much more emotionally intense.  Crabtree`s descriptions paint a mural for her readers without overpowering the emotional intensity of the work.Crabtree takes characters that we got to know in the first novel (however in depth or briefly) and continues to develop them into fuller individuals.  It was really nice to see more of some of the minor characters.  Also, since Crabtree keeps her major cast rather small you don’t get lost in a sea of names.  There are the characters that affect the story as a whole and then the rest of the pack.As a whole, this novella really made me want to be a shifter.  The level of commitment you see between individuals and among pack members has your heart pounding.  I’d thoroughly recommend this to others and can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
