Aside from the rather amusingly bad editing errors, one of the most egregious of which is "stirring wheel", this story totally lacks a convincing show of romance between the MCs. Actually, it's worse than that, it absolutely, totally lacks a proof of a real relationship between the two characters.

The idea that the kitsune, Taeyo, a happy, go lucky, type of person, just chooses Germane, a wolf-dog hybrid who is also a sour, sharp tongued type, as his mate without any real build up in their characters just doesn't sit well with me. Germane seems to be against being mated to Taeyo, but all we get are his snarky comments and facial expressions. There's no depth in either one of these characters, we're expected to accept that they are genuinely attracted to each other, but that's it. It all surface stuff, no inner thoughts or demons to contend with.

A disappointing read at best. ( )
