The book is long enough that it has time to do a lot of both world-building and character-building, giving plenty of time to each, and it establishes a fairly solid romance along the way. While this isn't high art-it lacks the pathos that made some of Jae's other books such emotional journeys for me-it is an entertaining paranormal romance with an interesting take on shapeshifters. It is not Jae’s best, but a good Jae book is still better than most. If you are a paranormal fan, a romance fan, or just looking for a little adventure, this book is a fun read. If you are in the same boat, I think you will enjoy this. Jae is one of my favorite authors, but she has written so much that I am still catching up. However, considering how everything in the book unfolded, the slow pace seems to be realistic to the storyline. I do wish there was more time with the characters as a couple. I love slow burn, but this is pretty slow for such a big book. It was just fun and I immediately wanted more when I was finished. While this is a paranormal book, it’s not hard paranormal so I believe it would appeal to any kind of readers. It’s a very long book, but you really feel immersed in this human/shifter world. The storyline of the book is pretty straight forward, and the main twist isn’t that hard to figure out, but I enjoyed all of it.

The liger woman Griffin is charged with finding out if Jorie is a threat to keeping their existence a secret. The other main Jorie is an author who is writing a shifter romance book that happens to be a little too close to the truth.

This book covers a wide array of animals but big cats are the most common, with a liger being the main character. Not weres but beings that are born with the abilities to shift into certain animals. It was also exactly what I needed at this time and I really enjoyed it. Two things I love, paranormal anything and books by Jae, so this was an easy choice. After watching the senate hearing all day yesterday, I needed something to take my mind off of the dread in my stomach.
