First let me say that I'll be putting a little spoiler alert later, as there is one thing that I want to mention that did bother me. However, first lets go with the main review.Lately I've been reading several shifter romances. Since I like a lot of different kinds, they sort of come in waves... And right now, bear shifter stories are my favorite. When I first read the synopsis, it intrigued me enough to start reading the "Look inside" preview. Before I'd even finished reading the sample, I had bought the book and started reading right away.The story grabs you from the first, and makes no bones about the fact there will be plenty of sex since it's on their brain from the get go. However, unlike some stories I've read, the sex is a part of the story. It isn't something you could edit out and it not make a difference to the storyline. As much as some erotic stories are good, I tend to prefer the ones where the sex moves the story along, not just thrown in there for kicks and giggles. Which is why I liked this book.Right from the start you are drawn into the characters, groaning out loud even as you see just how 'male' Quinn acts at times. Through out it you cheer for them both and the happy ending you know comes with romances, but it not that clear ending that some have. There are plenty of "how will they get through this" moments so that nothing is predicable.If you are unsure about it, I suggest that you read the "sample". If you aren't interested by the time that bit ends, then you probably won't like the story. However, I wouldn't doubt it if you actually did like I did, and not even make it through the sample before you are buying it. After I bought it last night, I stayed up reading it until it was done. I couldn't put it down. The end of the story was good, but I must say that I agree with the other 4 reviewers I read. I hope that this new author writes a 'book 2' with the twins. I have a strange feeling that she will, only because of how she built up the twin brothers, and how certain things were said, or left unsaid, about certain things (yeah, trying not to give too many details again. LOL) and thus at the end, there was still a question left unanswered. Which would be the perfect opening for the next one. It will also be interesting to see if she puts the twins together, or they get their own mate. Either way, which ever, I plan on getting it as well.Now... on to the spoiler stuff.  Though if you have read the book, I'd be curious how you feel about the below....So....*********SPOILER ******************DO NOT READ UNDER THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW DETAILS*******Okay... that should be enough room for those who don't want to accidentally catch a glimpse of something...I ALMOST gave this 4 stars because of one little thing that bothered me, that sort of took me out of the story when I read it. However, since the story itself is really well done, I think it is worth the 5 stars.Without giving too much away, the part I have an issue with is the first time they do finally have sex. In one other moment when they tried, but got stopped, it is mentioned how he had condoms, and isn't that great. Then when they finally have sex, no condoms are mentioned. In fact, the sex scene is written out in a way that I would guess he couldn't be wearing one, what with all the 'marking' and such he does. Not a bad thing in and of itself until you get to the sex at the end.This is where the problem arises for me. At the end (still trying to not give too many details so lets just say it's important sex) when they do it, a condom is once again mentioned, one he puts on but then tears it (of course because it is the all important sex) and so he gets rid of it and then the way I read it, it makes it sound like this is the first time that he has been in her without a condom. That he will 'chance' it. However none of this was worried about the first time they did it. So it sort of pulled me out of the story a bit because to me, it was like closing the barn door after the horses had already escaped. Especially seeing how many times it was implied they did it the first time, without a condom.I am curious if anyone else caught this, or if it is just me. Like I said, I did stay up and read it all night, so I could have missed... something.With that being said, I still think that this is well worth the read and I hope to see more by the author.
