Free or not, this book lacks a lot of editing. It's choppy and almost amateurish in style. I had picked up the one after this too, but I think I'll pass on reading it.

An okay but short shifter romance story that, at least in the Kindle version, is rather in need of a copy editor.

MY REVIEW
Again I downloaded this one Free from Amazon. I should start by saying that I only read the words "shifter" "cougar" "Werewolf" "mate" and totally missed the "highly erotic" words. I readily admit that I usually avoid erotica as I like a "story" to my books not just steamy scenes. Having said that sure this one is erotica, there's no other way to describe it but, and it's quite a large but this book does have a story to it too. I love shifter books and the whole "true one mate" principal in books.
So the story is that Nikki shifts into a cougar when she shifts. She has lead a very solitary life and only came into her "shifts" later in life rather than at puberty like most shifter's. So when Nikki find the place called Fury that is home to many shifter's, she finally feels at home amongst her own kind.
Then the elders speak and declare her the alpha female, which means she will be the mate of the alpha male. Nikki must choose between the Nathy brothers, Merrick and Roane. Merrick is a large impressive white wolf, and Roane an equally impressive black wolf.
Nikki and Merrick have always felt drawn to each other. Nikki does not wish to be Alpha nor choose a mate form the Nathy brothers so she attempts escape. She is cornered by the brothers, Roane walks away leaving the way clear for her and Merrick to become mates. the problem is Nikki doesn't like being told what to do, a tussle ensues but she escapes. Merrick however is not a man nor wolf to take no for an answer, so of course he follows Nikki in order to keep an eye on her and protect her. He plans to wait for her to come around to the idea in her own time, but can he really stand by so close to her yet not be with her?
Roane is kidnapped which of course means that Nikki and Merrick are forced to return to Fury. Do they rescue Roane? Is he already dead? Who and how was he taken? There's a traitor in the pack who is it?
Then Nikki has to go through the ancient tradition of the naming ceremony. The tradition allows any female in the pack to challenge her to a fight. Sure that may sound fair until you remember its Nikki/Cougar against a large famale/wolf! Nikki could die! Will she be contested? Who will fight her? Who will win? You need to buy the book guys....
So did I enjoy this book? Oh, YES! Would I recommend? Yes BUT Being a responsible mother and blogger only to over 18's please. Will I read more of this series? Yes even though I "don't read erotica" there is plenty of plot in these books to make them worth reading to me and my taste in books. Would I read more by Anya Bast? Defiinitely!

So I'd never officially read an ebook before and found this one randomly through the kindle for free. And since it was an author I was familiar with I figured why not.
This is a short story and very erotic. There are a few typing errors that I across but nothing too major.
Over all this a nice quick read with very nice "steamy scenes". I kinda wish it had been longer just so we could have gotten a better background story of Nikki and Merrick.,.but I suppose the whole point of of the story was for them to have lots of sex. Which i'm not totally complaining abut but I enjoyed the storyline and concept and would have liked more.
So I'm left with question....what kind of babies will they have? Puppies our kittens? I'm very curious.

This was a chore to read. Usually my eyes and mind work together to skip over misspellings and grammar mistakes, but this was SO badly edited it made it hard to read. I know, I know, it's free and a short story but why would anyone want to release something so amateurish?
There was too much trying to be packed in to a short story so nothing felt fleshed out. The characters were hardly likable and the ending felt like a mash up of several other popular PNR/UF books.
I was disappointed and I can't recommend. There was so much potential there, even for a short story, and it seemed like first or second draft.

WOW! This one hit the ground running (literally and figuratively) and didn’t let up the sexy times for most of the book. I was surprised to walk about feeling that there was enough story and world building that it worked.

I enjoyed the concept of this a lot and I do wish that the story had been longer and more fleshed out. The plot has a ton of potential but like most short stories of this nature they tend to focus more on the physical desires of the main character...which ends up making other parts of the story fall short. Also I don't really like the rush to have sex, if you put all the good stuff in the first scene it makes the other scenes rather repetitive. Typical main characters really, you have the overly alpha male and the 'Don't push me around' softy of a woman. Anyway it's good enough that I want to know what happens in the next one.
