Synopsis: When Sheriff Duncan Kennedy finds an injured cheetah in his mountains, he brings it home, determined to find out how she got there and stop the poachers who were hunting her. When he later checks on the cheetah and instead finds a gorgeous, naked woman with an arrow in her leg, he’s completely flabbergasted.

For six months, Aliyah Carver has been trapped in cheetah form. Taken by poachers who import exotic animals to illegally hunt, she stayed in animal form to avoid detection. She escaped the hunters, but now she faces another problem — a devastatingly sexy sheriff who now knows her secret.

Review: Ok, so what’s really new about this right? The answer is nothing and everything. Most paranormal shifter novels the male in the novel is the shifter while the woman is the weak human, not so in this novel. The storyline is similar to all other shifter novels in that the H/H have to struggle with the fact that one of them is a shifter and the feelings they have for each other.  The hero is a major alpha who is not a shifter, but still has all the macho moves that are not arrogant and even endearing.  The heroine is introverted a bit and she doesn’t speak much but really isn’t a cheetah supposed to be that way?  What I found interesting in this novel was how the author chose to explain the shifter matter.  Its not genetics after all, it’s all about what the creator gave her and her people.  It was a beautiful explanation.

I’m giving this book 4 stars out of 5.
