GREAT START TO NEW SERIES

I am actually one of the few who actually liked this book. It gave me the impression that River was more into Raphael than Raph was into him.

It was a great read. Sweet and lovable. If you like shape shifters you will love this one.

I enjoyed this story. My only complaint is that it could have been longer to flesh out some details.

Very solid story - would have loved a bit more length to deepen background and characters. Looking forward to more stories of the packs.

It was okay. My biggest problem was I didn't feel any connection between the two heroes. They meet, they have sex, they're mates. River in particular is pretty mean to Raphael. To be fair, Raphael did withhold some information from River, however it's not the kind that adversely affects the relationship between the two. River would not allow Raphael to explain himself. How River finds out this information is so contrived. Allegedly Raphael was able to mask his smell, but he's thrown into the lake and this erased the masking of the smell. Like a shower couldn't have achieved the same thing, especially since by that time the two had been practically living together for weeks. He is treated like he kicked someone's puppy, no pun intended. River does not let this transgression go, and I feel that he went out of his way to humiliate Raphael as much as possible. Even after Raphael is hurt on two different occasions, River is still bitching about this one little thing like it's more important than his lover's injuries. Also the rift between Raphael & his family hardly gets any resolution. The conversation is basically someone accused his father of being in a homosexual relationship in the past, and this is why Raphael is kicked out of the pack. My opinion is that Raphael would be better off staying outside the pack, as he has no resolution with his father & River is a big baby with a chip on his shoulder. The sex between River & Raphael is not that hot & borders more on cruel than sensual. I don't feel that River is a good mate for Raphael. There was no profession of love between the two, and honestly, I wouldn't have believed it if the words had been spoken by them.
