I always like a good military bear shifter romance, this one is no exemption. I found the delayed implanting a cool concept. ( )

This is the second in the Kodiak den series. I really enjoy the uniqueness of the paranormal books. I do wish they were a little bit longer - the stories are put together well, and I liked this one, but I prefer something longer with a bit more meat to the story. Nevertheless, this was still a good read thanks to Amy Lamont's writing style.

This is the second book in the series. It's a different premise to the first book as Juliet finds out she is pregnant and turns up on Mason's doorstep so to speak. So they need to get to know each other and have different issues. There is a bit of catching up with the first couple to so that's good and a hint at the next books topic. ( )

Wow! I've only read a few books from this genre, the series from Elena Aitken & book 1 from Amy Lamont. If they are all this hot, I may have to read some by other authors! Amy has brought her emotional writing style to this new genre. Juliet is a tattoo artist who has her first one night stand with a soldier on leave who is HOT! Now, 7 months later, she isn't feeling well & her friend insists she is pregnant. After visiting a doctor to confirm the diagnosis, Juliet levels with him that her last sexual encounter was 7 months ago and since he's saying she's only a couple of months along, this couldn't be. The doctor explains to her about shapesifters & asks if her lover could be one. Juliet realizes she needs to talk to Mason & clue him in, plus ask some questions about changes in her body that couldn't be explained.

Mason is starting working with his friends in Alaska in a new security firm. He's surprised when he gets a call to come to the sheriffs office to consult on a missing person case. It shocked him to realize that he was the missing person & Juliet was there to find him. Can these two find a way to be together? Can Juliet handle the pregnancy & the changes it is making to her?

Amy is a creative writer with a great imagination. This story has an excellent plot line that moves at the perfect pace. The characters are complex & realistic. The chemistry between them is hot & intense. The supporting characters are just as well thought out & work well together. Juliet's tough childhood made you want to cry & her bewilderment at all that was happening to her was so easy to see & feel. By starting you with the one night stand, Amy hooked you and just drew you in through the rest of the story. I seriously can not wait for Book 3. Book 1 was great. Book 2 was more intense & wilder. Who knows what Book 3 will be like?

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
