review 1: This was a different kind of shifter story for me. First, horse shifters are unique and I haven’t run across that before in a story. Second, the horse shifters are not the primary couple in the story – they are friends who consider themselves as close as brothers. Third, the romance (at least in human form) doesn’t get much chance to develop during the story – more a hint of what could be. This felt like a nice start on what could be an interesting series – at least two more books featuring a story about each couple (hint, hint)! Nice job:)
review 2: How does this shifter world work? What makes them a shifter? It seems like some of their families know they born shifters and some don't and don't like it when kids become a shifter? It sounds like t... morehey born a shifter but makes no sense the parents wouldn't be shifters too. At least one of them. Why is jax scared to be saddled? He used to be a show horse by volunteer and didn't sound like he was abused or anything. So he should be used to it but now he is frightened and won't let a man he knows and apparently loves saddle him? I'm confused a lot about this world. The flashbacks drive me crazy instead of telling one continuous story this started in the middle of the story and flash backs to the beginning. Then flashes forward than back again and on and on. There is a lot of horse humor and horse tariats when they're shifted. I found these to be incredibly cute partsJax annoyed me. I hate characters that are that stupid and annoying. He's so needy and the mc just let's him do whatever than picks up the pieces. That go rodeo us real quick.It's sad that this is first person pov yet we still got to know annoying jax better than the mc. And got to know Rey, jaxs love interest way better than the main characters own. This good have been a great story IMO if it wasn't all about jax and would have started at the beginning of the story instead of using flashbacks.. It still has its cute moments and is an enjoyable free story. If you don't mind annoying secondary characters taking over then you'd probably like it a lot more than me. The end is really open with nothing resolved and it kind of feels like there are at least three maybe more unfinished stories here. less
