Sexy Beast IV

If you ever see anything with Kate Douglas as the author you know you're going to get a great story with great characters.

Ulrich just could not wait to get Millie and her biological twins together, since her uncle gave them away after birth. Millie did get a chance to meet Tala but the Chanku packs could not find Adam. UNTIL....Oliver was driving down a road going back to the Montana pack after picking up a truck for Stefan for his birthday. He noticed a man and briefly looked at him. It was pouring rain and just as he passed the man, Oliver's truck broke down. Talking about coincidence. They wound up sleeping in the truck. Adam has been figured out to be a healer/fixer. Once they reached the ranch, Adam and Oliver really got to know each other-one problem though, Oliver is not Chanku-or at least so we thought, when a secret is revealed about Oliver that again, Adam fixes. While Adam is staying at the Montana's ranch, he meets a soon to be Chanku, Eve. They begin to slowly talk and then the heat rises and before you know it, they are under the sheets. Everything feels right to both of them and all is good, except Eve is getting a little nervous. She talks to Anton. As long as she is not in love with Adam the mating really cannot take place. Anton loans Eve the truck and off she goes. This novella is yet another that I could not wait to finish and get to the next---Wolf Tales VI (Wolf Tales (Aphrodisia)).

This was a necessary purchase for me, being a "Wolf Tales" addict :) Chanku Destiny introduces us to Adam & Eve, the newest members of the Montana Pack, as well as giving some very important background information about Oliver. Abundance was a futuristic shapeshifting (jaguar/panther?) story that I personally didn't find all that great. But being part of an anthology often leaves a lot to be desired, since the author doesn't have the time to really clue us in on the whole story. Passion of the Cat was a historical shapeshifting (snow leopard) that was an enjoyable read. Again, it could have been better had the story had the space to build.

WELL I WANT TO SAY IF I WANT TO READ EROTICA, THIS SERIES IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER READ.

"Chanku Destiny" by Kate Douglas. The Chanku shapeshifting werewolves are elated to locate two more of their species, Adam Wolf and Eve Reynolds, who deeply connect with one another on a soulmate level. "Abundance" by Deanna Lee. For over three decades King Jude and his Yaw panther shapeshifters have had no contact with purebred humans until Kayla lands her space ship on their world. "Passion of the Cat" by Dawn Thompson. In 1810 in the Hindu Kush, when a snow leopard viciously attacks Captain Lyle Claridge, Ihita heals him, but after he goes back to England, the full moon makes him sexually in need. There three erotic shapeshifting romantic fantasies are well written fun short stories filled with various sexual encounters and a little less other action. The Kate Douglas entry feels like the prologue to the upcoming Wolf Tales VI while the other two are more complete. Sub-genre fans will enjoy these shapeshifters in heat tales. Harriet Klausner
