About The Book: Living in the bush of Alaska, Chloe Barrant wanted to take care of the animals at her wildlife refuge and ignore the times she shifted into a lynx. Even she knew that wasn’t normal. Little did she know that the day she'd turn away the poachers she'd find a male lynx coming to her rescue. What surprised her even more was when the lynx turned into a man claiming her as his life mate.

Granger, alpha of the Lynx clan, would do anything to protect the Lynx. They'd lost too many members to the hunters who preyed on them. Finding his alpha life mate gave him back dreams for the future that he'd given up on long ago.

Chloe didn't understand how the other Lynx expected her to fill the alpha role within the clan, when around Granger she only wanted to slip into beta role and submit to him. Could she figure it all out in time to save the Lynx?

The Review:

Living out in the Alaska bush never sounded so appealing...

Once you find your mate everything changes and suddenly life seems a lot easier to live since your now sharing it with that someone special.

The one thing that Chloe abhorred about herself, is the one thing that her life mate Granger loves most about her. Getting her to accept the fact that they're mates is easy enough, but getting Chloe to accept her lynx is an entirely different matter. Chloe is naturally a strong woman, having lived a solitary existence without the guidance of her mother and now father, but the walls she's built to remain in control come crumbling down when she's in the presence of Granger who shows her what it means to be part of a family and to have someone who cares for you. He teaches her how to be stronger and to become one with her lynx which will serve it's purpose as she fills the role of the Alpha female.

Abby Wood wrote a beautiful story of self acceptance with some much appreciated sexually charged scenes. Her vision of the Lynx clan really came to life and made it easy to envision being a part of this unique clan of shifters. Ms. Wood did a fantastic job writing those sexually charged scenes by allowing the characters to be more themselves in those vulnerable moments and loose a little self control in the process. In shifter stories it's important to allow the animal to take control every now and then and in this case I really felt that Ms. Wood allowed her characters and readers to embrace that aspect of the shifters dual existence.

The title is humorously appropriate and is explained in the story, but I did find that the description of Granger and who I had assumed was Granger on the cover don't match. Chloe is special in more ways than one, so when her unique ability is revealed I would have liked to see a little more of the storyline incorporate that talent.

This is a very well rounded story and some my favorite scenes came after the climax. Readers will be pleasantly surprised by the next turn of events.

Recommended reading for fans of keeping warm on cold nights with a hunky shapeshifting lynx.
