What is great about this book?

HA! A tough question to ask any author about her book baby.
I read all kinds of books, and there are many shifter books out there, werewolves, lions, and bears; we’ve all seen them.  Shifter books can be a fun read, and I thought I could write a superior one. Now there is nothing wrong with steamy romance, but I always want an exciting plot to accompany it. So, I wrote a book that is more than boy meets girl equals instant lust. There is plenty of lust, but there is also conflict and a mystery. The characters are well developed and they aren’t perfect. They are likeable but flawed and damaged as are all real people. The reader discovers their failings, their strengths, and their motivations. The heated attraction builds as a trusting relationship develops. Meanwhile, the mystery and threat grow as well.
Shifter mythology has been around forever. From Native American shapeshifters to ancient Greek mythology, people have found the concept of changing physical forms fascinating.  The concept of changing into an animal tugs at our imagination and pushes our boundaries in ways we would like to accept.  This book explains where shape shifters originated and how their powers came to be.
Additionally, these memorable characters come from fantastically affluent backgrounds that most of us enjoy reading about but don’t experience. High fashion models and NFL stars aren’t our usual neighbors, but they make for a diverting read. Phoenix is fluent in smartassery and unimpressed by this football player who wants her. Ian has never met a woman who wasn’t interested in his fame and body, but in Phoenix he has met his counterpart.  The problem is, he has to keep her alive long enough to make her his.
Romance, mystery, and a killer on the loose make this a great book you will want to read.
