review 1: I'd give this 3 stars as a Paranormal Romance, but since this kept coming up for me as recommended "Urban Fantasy" by Amazon, I'm going to only give it 1 star. This is NOT Urban Fantasy.The paranormal aspects of this story could have easily been removed and replaced with any other factor that typically keeps the hero and heroine apart in romance novels.There is mention of what happened to Alexia's family, but not how she went from Suzie homemaker to kick-ass military chick who doesn't even remember how to put on lipstick anymore. Clearly not everyone took the military path she did and if all her "kills" are defensive, how could a whole nation of Shifters consider her "death".For someone who had her child "torn apart in front of her", she is awfully quick to switch from b... moreig bad shifter killer to "I did shift so our thighs were touching"... "welcoming the warm touch" of a shifter she's known for a few days. Alexia is definitely not my definition of a "kick-ass heroine" The action surrounding the romantic elements can barely be considered action....oh lets run to my house in the shifter zone...oh no, the Alpha is coming... RUN!! Let's run back to the human zone....oh I can't run any more... carry me so I can rest while you run....OMG Alexia killed a shifter who jumped her! Big bad kick-ass heroine breaks down in tears and zones out while the big strong hero makes sure she gets to safety....Lets sneak into the bad guy's lair and infiltrate his evil operation. ...OH YEA! One of the big strong men is just in time to save Alexia, but where's the hero?? Hero runs off for 2 weeks without contacting her afterward but in typical romance novel style, that's OK because I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!Now, if you like Paranormal Romance, you might like this book and for $3.60 for the Kindle edition, the price isn't too bad. It was a quick read and as far as Romance goes, it's not bad. I wish Amazon would stop recommending Paranormal Romances as Urban Fantasy. This is not Urban Fantasy folks, it's ROMANCE. I just personally like darker Urban Fantasy... Jim Butcher, Kim Harrison, Illona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Faith Hunter. Now those are some "kick-ass" heroines (or heroes in the case of Harry Dresden).Warning: book does contains somewhat explicit sex scenes. Contains little to no gore descriptions in the "action" scenes
review 2: This was a pretty good story, I did like it. I think I just wish it had more action and went a little more in depth with the background on Andor & Alexia. I also would have liked more background info on the shape shifters as a whole, as to why they did the things they did. All in all I think It was worth reading I just felt liked I wanted and needed more. I did enjoy the build up in romance between Andor & Alexia. less
