This is absurd. I read this book like three times already and still I tear up and sweat by emotional parts....

I reread this one to see if my 5 star holds up. It does... But not because it's such a good book (it's not really) but because of the feels! Apparently I'm one of those suckers who love unrealistic drama.

Fun and entertaining light read about a penguin shifter and a werewolf. Penguin shifters aren't exactly frequent in the paranormal realm (that I am aware of), and this one was fun. Lys kept a lot of the penguin characteristics when human, and I always like to see how those thought experiments turn out. Clearly, a pairing between a 'prey' shifter like him and a werewolf like Rip will be interesting by definiton - and the sparks did fly between the two main guys here.

If you like stories with the big, strong alpha wolf taking care of a smaller mate, seeing the powerful werewolf struggle with 'relationship issues' and being totally wrapped up in his partner while both battle issues of self-confidence, you will like this book. ( )
