Heroine thinks "Kacey Sawtooth" is a nice name.... Bitch is crazy!

There was a little too much cheese and predictability. I'm unsure if I liked 'the marked' business going on (an alpha can force you to mate by a certain time unless you find your own), and I didn't feel like either was obsessed with each other to the point of mates. She was insecure, and her body shape was mentioned a gazillion times (curvy, luscious, dimples, rounded etc) and it got to the point it annoyed the shit out of me. Also, he wasn't 'in heat' so they didn't need a condom but she was sure it would feel just as good with one on.... HOLD UP A MINUTE.... Just as good WITH a condom?! Usually it's the other way around. And there was no mention of shifters not having STIs, but back to the heat, he's a male? I've never ever ever heard of a male animal going into heat.... So.... Ya lost me there!

This was easy, quick, and steamy. I had some issues with the writing particularly during the love scenes. Still, Warren was a kind, strong hero, and Kacey was a compassionate, hardworking heroine. They complimented each other very well. I liked the concept of Shifter Grove, a town where humans and shifters alike could live equally, with no prejudice just because a shifter's clan or pack had done something wrong. I may have to check out more in this series when I want to read this sort of paranormal romance.
