This is fairly insta-lovey (I mean, they're technically childhood friends who fell in love as teens and have been apart for 10yrs, so take that as you will) and a little dub-con (in the way that most Beauty & the Beast stories are, if you know what I mean), aaaand there's also a scene that might offend those who aren't comfortable with shifter/human sex while the shifter is, er... shifted... So I guess my point is that you should know what you're getting into if you pick this up, but as for me, I thought it was fun and I really enjoyed the bit of a twist on the whole curse and conclusion. I also might have cried a little near the ending, and I feel like the fact that Kati Wilde is so good at getting me attached to characters in so few pages that I get emotional is pretty high praise from me.
