I'll admit that the premise of this series sounded quite silly to me. But I'm very happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised with this book.

Carson is a very sweet lamb shifter (shouldn't that be a Ram by now though?) and Brody is the big bad wolf. Lucky for them, even though their path to happiness isn't an easy ride, they do get there in the end. ( )

I have to admit that the idea behind this series intrigues me. There are a few shifter books where a 'predator' shifter mates with a 'prey' shifter, but to have a whole series based on that principle is new. It could be quite fun, I think.

Carson, the lamb shifter, doesn't exactly have it easy with an elder brother who makes his life hell. Falling for a wolf shifter doesn't help, but Carson holds up quite well. Being a lamb by nature, he doesn't fight back when their relationship is threatened, but the quiet strength with which he stands up to the situation was believable and admirable.

Brody, as the wolf shifter, is the aggressor. He is strong, dominant and it all goes well until he meets resistance from his father. Contrary to his wolf nature, he doesn't fight, even though he never got along with his father. I found that hard to explain from a human perspective, but if you assume that a wolf holds pack above everything, Brody listening to his Alpha father makes a little more sense.

If you like tales about opposites meeting and being attracted, if you want to read a shifter story with a difference and if a slightly misguided main character finally figuring out his role in life will hold your interest, you will probably like this story. ( )

Couldn't get past the appalling-ness of the world building - deliberate choices to place the pack not where prey animals lived but where prey shifters lived and it got worse from here. Brody in too many places made stupid decisions. Carson I liked better. Thought it would be good-crazy but just stayed crazy. I've read others of Scarlett's books before and enjoyed them, but I'll pass on the rest of this series
( )

A shapeshifter grey wolf falling in love for a shapeshifter white lamb? The odd pair was a sure titillating push for me to read this novel as soon as it was out. Of course, due not only to the inter-breed romance, but also to the same-sex relationship, it was due that the reason why wolf Brody is fatally attracted by lamb Carson is the mate bond. From what I understand, Brody was not gay, he is simply answering to the mate calling, and the fact that Carson is a man and a prey it’s not enough to discourage him. On the other side, young Carson is a virgin, and actually he thinks at himself like asexual: at 20 years old he has not yet developed into a ram and he will probably always remain a lamb.

I think the author wanted to challenge the boundary with the inter-breed relationship but aside from that she didn’t want to make things too difficult for Brody; there is no doubt that Carson is the bottom, he is not only lithe and pretty, he has also a very sensitive attitude, and he can be strong only in willing not in body. Never once Carson gave any indication that he wanted independency, and he would be more than happy to be the man-wife for Brody. Even if fragile and sensitive, Carson didn’t “annoy” me, he was so sweet and tender that was almost impossible to be upset with him; by the way, he is for once a completely “different” twink of sort, he is not the usual top from the bottom twink, pushing his Alpha male partner to do everything he wants with the only power of his sex appeal; Carson is genuinely an omega, in this perfectly matching his shapeshifter form of a lamb (used to follow other directions).

The story is also surprisingly “complex”, meaning that it’s not exclusively centered around the meeting and mating of the two; their story goes beyond that point, spanning more or less 3 years (truth with a big shift in time in the middle), but still, it gave more time to the reader to enjoy this odd, but nice, pair.
