This is definitely one of the more interesting pairings I have come across. An elephant, who is all peaceful until angered, and a skunk, who is a scavenger and used to fighting for himself, make a fascinating couple. Add some of the most typical elements of how elephants live (such as the matriarchal nature of their society, and the bachelors going off to live outside the herd) and translate to humans, or, well, shifters, and you have the background for a very volatile situation.

Wyatt is an elephant shifter. He is very intelligent, hates confrontation, and will fight like a berserker if provoked and to defend what is his. He is also very loving, and even though his family (mother and sister) are trying to terrorize him into sending Dor away, he will not budge on this. he even learns how to deal with confrontations. Good for him!

Dor is a skunk shifter. He is physically smaller, mentally agile, and will stand up for himself before he even gets up in the morning. I loved how devoted he was to taking care of Wyatt, once he understood the situation, and could see how much potential they had as a couple. The little "surprise" he comes up with as to who he really is once pushed into a corner... I loved that. Very well played.

If you like shifters who have to overcome some physical and psychological obstacles before they know how to live together, if you enjoy mates who are very protective of each other, each in their own way, and if you liked the other books in this series, you will probably enjoy this book as well.

Liked the couple, but there were more editing mistakes than I could ignore. But at least there was talking between the two, rather than persistent misunderstanding and assumptions. ( )
