This was a light and easy read and was a lot of fun! For me this was just what I wanted from a werewolf romance. It’s a little bit silly, hot and steamy. It doesn’t break any new ground but the authors are clearly having fun with the concept. The chemistry between Audrey and Boyd is good and they have a really sweet relationship whilst also having a lot of good steamy moments. It was just a really easy read for me.

NGL, I love Shifter and Cowboy romance, so put them together, and it's already off to a good start!

This book is great if you want to give your brain a break. It's light, well written, short, easy to read, and has an uncomplicated plot with lots of spice.
Overall, I really enjoyed it!

I listened to this on Audiobook!

This was so good! He is a bull rider, but also a shifter so he can't really get hurt and also has no fear. Until he gets distracted with the sight of his mate. Honestly, the way that she is a Dr and he gets hurt, so she keeps checking up on him is probably the best way to have them get close and get to know each other.

The moment he finally reveals what he is to her is an unplanned surprise. There is a bit of spice in this one and is a good quick book to listen to. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy shifter romance.
