Mate Calling
Alexandra Hinkle has a secret, one that's kept her alone for most of her life. She's a werecat, a rare shape shifter whose body has the ability to transform into a sleek feline. That's probably why she had no problem just pulling up stakes and moving half way across the country to the small mountain city of Red Cliff, Colorado.
The town boasts a population of a whopping two hundred and eighty nine, or 290 now that Alexandra has accepted the transfer to become the onsite representative for United States Geological Survey, a job which amounts to her hiking up and down the mountain to review current mapping and acting as liaison between the USGS and the Colorado Department of Education. Figuring she's found the perfect place to hide out for the rest of her life without anyone being the wiser of her special condition, she attempts to settle into her new life. However, things aren't as unassuming in Red Cliff as they first appear. For one thing, someone seems to be attempting to keep her far from Eagle's Pass and out of town, so much so that they don’t mind arranging a few accidents. Then there's the fact she's faced with one of the ultra sexy Hyatt brothers at every turn. It's a major distraction to say the least.
The Hyatt brothers have called Red Cliff home since they were kits, and the town folk have always watched out for the troublesome threesome despite their unique abilities to become ferocious mountain lions. The three are the last remaining members of their family and direct decedents to the original mining camp settlers of the Eagle Valley. When they cross paths with the town's newest occupant, they're instantly attracted to the fiery red head and not just because she has a body built for sin. Now that they can see the means to keep their blood line alive, how can they convince the elusive Alexandra to answer their Mate Call? And how do they put a stop to all the trouble that seems to surround the town and Alexandra at every turn?

Mate Calling
Alex wants a change. She has never truly had a home and is moving to a back water little town, in the hopes of starting fresh. On the way, she meets Cameron. They meet have drinks one night stand. Cameron knows she is a were-cat and is drawn to her. Maybe she is the one him and his brothers can start a family with. He never gets to see if she is the one because she skips out on him the next morning. When Alex arrives in her new home and starts to settle in, she can't get Cameron out of her mind. When the handy men show up and rescue Alex form a broken sink, Alex realizes, she just found Cameron's home town. So Cameron, and his 2 brothers, having not seeing any were-cat shifters in over 10yrs, set to woo Alex. When Alex is out surveying for a job, Cameron finds Alex pined under a rock by her foot. After getting out of it, they smell something different, werewolves. Everyone knows that the 3 boys protect the town. Who would want to hurt Alex? When someone attempts to run Alex down, they know there are wolves in the area, who are going to try to push them out. How many wolves are there? Will the guys be able to protect the woman they are all 3 falling for? Will Alex be able to even accept a relationship with 3 men?
This was a cute, short story. Nothing too deep. Would have loved it if it would have been a full length book. I wanted to hear all about all 3 guys and more about Alex even more about the people they protect in the town. I am hoping this is just a beginning of the world Ms Oiler has created. I love the setting, small town with their were-lion protectors. Lots of potential here! Great start to hopefully a series!

Good story arc. Some rough spots in terms of pacing. A few editing errors (names primarily.) over all a good read.
