4.0

I really appreciated the variety in this anthology of shifter romance stories. You get some of the typical wolves and bears, but I loved being able to read stories about some species that don't often get attention, such as hyena, mongoose, rhino, and shark. Very cool! There were stories that were sweet, steamy, and dark and violent. Stories about straight couples, gay couples, and threesomes. Some followed more typical storylines, but some were very creative in characterization, setting, and plot. Some of the stories weren't really my style, but I think there's something here for anyone who enjoys paranormal romance.

Note that this is for an adult audience. There is violence, profanity, and many explicit sex scenes.

Also, some of the stories had quite a few typos or grammar and punctuation problems. However, I volunteered to review an advanced reader copy of this book, so those errors may be corrected in the final version.
