This was so cuuuuuuute. They don't even kiss until about 50%, but the progression of their relationship is very sweet. (Also, maybe tied with In This Iron Ground by Marina Vivancos for most casual shifter community I've read?) The writing is very evocative, as well. I don't like it when reviews say things like, "The writing was better than it had to be" but the writing here did have something extra that elevated what is a fairly straightforward story. Misha’s characterization as a bit of a hibernating bear even in his human form was both funny and endearing. It's also a very smooth ride, despite the
accusation of murder that forced Misha into hiding.
