I would not want my teenager stumbling upon this believing it's only a romantic speculative fiction story. Although I can't claim to have read much in the way of vampire / shapeshifter and similar paranormal books, I do have to say the content is way beyond normal romance. It is too graphic for someone less than 18 y/o. Heck, anyone not over 25 probably shouldn't read it. Their expectation for a sexual relationship will be skewed if they believe all "mated" people behave like this.Off the topic of sex, I did enjoy the premise of this story. It moves too rapidly and doesn't give as much background to the Therian society as I would like. Possibly the other novels in the series will help explain more. I hope so because I really don't want my hormones constantly surging when the reason for reading it is to learn more about this alternate society. I do intend to read the next in the series with such an intent. The characters are well described. It is interesting and thought provoking as speculative fiction should be, and, an easy read ... albeit steamy!
