Likeable short novella about a man who gets lost in the countryside while trying to escape a dodgy ex, and meets the youngest son of a family of shapeshifters. Romance ensues, but it's the ending I found most interesting. David's experiences cause him to make a decision that's bound to have significant repercussions for his life and future, but he feels bound to do it anyway because it's the right thing to do. I have to admit, I was expecting that plotline to be dropped, for his past actions to be excused by his present character, but that doesn't happen. I don't suppose that the book needs a sequel, but I'd happily read it if so, as David's journey is more interesting to me than the romance or the whole shapeshifting thing. Speaking of the shapeshifting, Fox takes an interesting tack there as well, with a lot of the focus of the middle part of the novella on what it means to not be a werewolf - I'm being vague, so not as to spoil things - but this didn't really have the follow-through that it might have done, I think.

Still, a likeable book. I've got another of the author's about the place somewhere - I bought them both at the same time - so I'm looking forward to reading that one.
