*This book was provided to me by the author for an honest review
I love me some shifters! So when I saw that Buffy Christopher ' s book was about Were-tigers, I jumped at the chance to review! Imagine my instant delight when I found there were more shifters and a center for them to develop and grow within an urban community.
Meet Ivy, she is haunted by a man of her past who is not only trying to get her back but is trying to make her his possession. Only Ivy can not control her beast and only her twin brother Ian knows the truth!! Ian believes that a mate can help calm her beast and with the Mating Moon so close he sets her up with the community centers manager, Edge!! Things get serious before the date and it all goes to well s&*t!!!!
Buffy packs action and pure hotness in a nice little package! I loved her characters and enjoyed the way she plotted each scene. I immediately got Ian's followup so be on the look out for that review soon!!
Buffy I give you 5 Stars and a tip of my #NerdGirl hat!!

Quite a good tiger shifter tale.
Ivy & Ian are twin tigers, living away from the pack. Ivy suffered a trauma when she was only 16 and has suffered nightmares and a werewolf stalker ever since.
Edge, Alpha white tiger knows Ivy is his as soon as he sees & scents her, but realises he needs to win her in tiger traditional ways.
Werewolf Mark becomes a pest and must be stupid, because Ivy beats him up & breaks his nose, Ian beats him up and Edge intimidates the pi$$ out of him.
Very nice interaction between Ivy & Edge throughout, ending with the Mating Moon and a dead werewolf.

I was surprised by the way this book was written. I enjoyed how it was based on tigers. A young Were Tigress that went through a traumatic event as a teenager and shun by her pack as punishment. Her twin brother follows her to a new territory and protects her. An Alpha tiger who had a horrid past and tries to overcome his past by creating a better future. They both want to find their mate to feel whole and loved! Wow! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

Ok story. Seemed to drag at times. Wished there was an epilogue.
