A charming paranormal shifter romance with some mystery and a little "why choose" thrown in for good measure. Cocaigne's well written story is ultimately about the power of love and acceptance. Throw in two handsome heroes and a feisty heroine for good measure and you have a whirlwind of a tale.

The author paints vivid characters with her words and this story has quite a bit of heat to go with the sweet. A satisfying ending puts the icing on the cake and if you enjoy paranormal stories with some suspense, you'll like this one.

What a cute book. I absolutely loved how Mila meets Jamie when he is a cat, so cute. I enjoyed the mystery she had to solve and wanted her to save Dane. I definitely did not expect the twist on how to break the curse. Her time with Dane was also interesting. Overall, this is a quick fun shifter why choose read. The story did a great job with the relationships Mila had with both men and how they decided to be together. I recommend you read it, especially if you like shifter books with a bit of mystery.

I loved this story from page one. It was fun, engaging, and I couldn't put it down. REALLY, I read while I ate my dinner.

A race to save someone, the lengths we go to for those we love, and how much we learn about ourselves and others along the way.

A must read for anyone that loves PNR with a little #WhyChoose thrown in.

this had what I was looking for in a paranormal romance novel, I enjoyed the concept of the story. The use of the paranormal elements going on worked well in the story. The characters were what I expected and they felt like real people. I hope Jude Cocaigne continues to write and I enjoyed what I read.

A quick story about a young woman who’s been searching for an answer for her cursed wolf shifter friend for a decade. The characters are likable and the storyline is interesting - my only wish was for more explanation and details. A longer book with more information would have been more satisfying.

Mila has a huge problem. She has two shifters in her life. Who does she choose? A well-written plot with great characters.

This is a quick fun shifter why choose read. It was fun and engaging. The characters are likable but the story was a little on the short side.
