This is an OK shifter romance, and a good addition to the series. Tad and Heather are a likable couple, and I liked Tad's brothers and little baby Millie (who were all introduced in Max's book). It is a quick read, so there wasn't time for as much character development as I like -- but there was enough to like the couple and to want them to find their HEA. I liked that Tad's brothers automatically accepted Heather and her family (even her mother and great-aunt) into their own growing family. I hope we get Jake's story soon.
I did think that Heather, given her history with her ex-husband, would have fought her attraction to Tad a little more than she did -- but that was a minor issue. I get that most shifter romances feature instalove.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.
