review 1: This short novella is actually a prequel to an upcoming new shifter series from Lia Davis. I have a particular weakness for shifter romance ( it is my opinion that it should be in a genre all it's own) so I gleefully snatched this one up right away. I'm so glad that I did because it was a fantastic start to what is going to be an awesome series.Nevan has distanced himself from his family after the loss of both his wife and his father within the same year. He is finally on his way home to visit his family for Christmas when he crashes his car while trying to avoid a leopard. The accident leads him straight to Danica's door. Danica is a leopard shifter who caused Nevan to crash the car. She invites the human into her home giving him refuge from an approaching snowstorm. Neva... moren is aware of the existence of shifters because his stepmom and brothers are mountain lion shifters. So he notices right away that something is different about Danica and her friends. Danica was born to be a healer before she was badly burned in an accident that took away her ability to heal through touch. Just as Nevan has withdrawn from his family , Danica has distanced herself from her friends and family too. She is uncomfortable with the pity she knows they feel for her loss and for the extensive scarring she has been left with. But Nevan isn't the only contender for the beautiful Danica's hand. A challenge is issued ...one that Nevan is determined to win. The situation gets even more dangerous when outside forces intervene in the challenge for Danica's hand. Nevan and Danica were two wounded souls who found out that they were meant to be together. I liked that they were both vulnerable. Danica was insecure because of her scars. And Nevan had to cope with the guilt of loving someone else after the loss of his beloved wife. I thought that author did a god job with portraying those issues. She also did an outstanding job with laying the background for this new series. I was especially grateful that she was able to accomplish such an indepth exploration of the pack dynamics without taking the focus away from the lead couple's love story.I'd highly recommend this story . Although it is a prequel for the upcoming series it can still stand on it's own for readers who aren't ready to delve into a series just yet. As for myself , Winter Eve has gotten me excited about the new series. I can't wait for the next book to be released. I'll give this one four stars.
review 2: Lia pens "Winter Eve" a well written, exciting romance filled with likeable characters such as shapeshifters. A nice quick novella....I wish it was a bit longer, but it's a fantastic start to the 'Ashwood Falls' series. Highly recommended to all supernatural, romance and shapeshifter fans.This review is based on a complimentary copy from the author which was provided for an honest review. less
