Short and sweet. You get to know both characters well enough to feel the chemistry. You see a little of Archeron and Simi for those that read the.series, but it can be read as a stand alone. This is a romance between two wolf shape shifters, one more human than wolf, the other more wolf than human. They are called Arcadian & Katagaria, and their species are at war with one another. What brings them together is pure animal lust. The trust is built nicely in this short. You feel they are meant for each other. ( )

This was a great short story. I enjoyed the setting of it. The mixing of the worlds, but I thought it was a little too fast paced. I do want to learn more about Dante, though. ( )
