So I'm not so low key into paranormal shifter books. Lately it's been bears. Before it was cat shifters. Dragon shifters always. So the concept of "mate" doesn't exactly make me run. Even if it's a short cut to fast sexy times.

Amnesia is also a trope I like. Amnesia Shifter should have been insta-hit.

But I don't know where this fell off the face of the earth. Was it when clearly Barry & Charli should have put two and two together about the robbery? Or when Barry went zombie like Charli should have questioned her safety? Or when Charli's boss more or less seemed disinterested in Charli's assertion that something is weird about Barry's possible involvement?

This is all basically in the first 40%, though to be fair Charli spends the first 20% vasilating about what to do, if she wanted to have sex with him, was it a good idea to keep him around.

Also spoiler - I thought this was a stand alone but it's the first in a series (I guess?) so we don't get a whole slew of answers (including who the hezmata Barry really is).

But that's OK, he's shifter enough to sort of understand that Charli is his and Charli is a telepathic Doctor Doolittle so she knows his bear thinks of her that way so let's build a future on that.

-.- just...your mileage may vary but I wasn't keen on this at all.… (más)

It bothers me when the girl or the guy is in a relationship but lusting after someone else. So I didn't love the start of this. In fact I liked the idea of this more than the execution. Just felt flat. I didn't really like either character. Some of it was kind of ridiculous. Multiple shifter animals? Dragons? Pick your worldbuilding and stick with it but this just seemed a mess of ideas. Erotica with thin plot. It all happened way too fast, with no character development, a very thin veneer of a plot and lots of sex. 2.5 stars. I didn't love it but I'm sure other people will.… (más)
