Love, danger and family 

I enjoyed this shifter novella with a side of arcane traditions and shifter war. It had a good mix of danger, sweet moments, spice, and real life issues. Margaret is a wolf shifter who is a VIP manager at a Las Vegas casino. She is from a respected but not a prestigious wolf family. Scott is a bear shifter and recently left in the army with plans to return to his home in the Teton mountains. They meet at the wedding of their good wolf shifter friends, Samantha and Chase (book 1 in the series). To get to their HEA, they will need to deal with the impending shifter war with the supernatural council while dealing with the differences in their shifter norms and societies. Despite being short, the novella was well written and included characters with dimension in an engaging storyline. While the book’s main story arc resolves, the overarching story arc of the series is not resolved by the end of this book. While this can be read as a standalone as there is enough back story woven into the book that you will not be lost, do yourself a favor and read the books in order starting with book one. It will add richness and greater dimension to the storyline. I am looking forward to reading more in the series.
