Keeper
When Jude Felini, a cat-shifter, learns that the woman he's loved all his life, a bird-shifter named Avery Dove, carries a hormone that has addicted a non-shifter to her, he has only one chance to save her from being quarantined in an isolated sanitarium. He must resurrect a long-dead shifter ritual, the Triad Sacrament, in order to bind Avery's pheromones to his and convince the Coalition of Shape Shifters that she can't addict anyone else. The Triad Sacrament is powerful sexual magic, but while Jude and Avery are both willing to invoke it in order to stay together, they need to convince the Council that it will work. Otherwise, Avery will be imprisoned forever, and Jude will lose the only woman he's ever loved.

A bird who cannot bear to be caged, and a cat who licks his lips at the site of the bird sets the stage for this fun paranormal romp. Determined to keep the bird Avery from spending the rest of her life in a cage, the cat Jude is determined to become her Keeper. Perhaps then, he can keep her for himself.
Avery Dove has waited nine years for Jude Felini to take notice of her as a woman. She gets tired of waiting for him and has a drink in a bar one evening to alleviate her loneliness. One drink turns into waking up the next morning with a mortal who is now addicted to Avery. Avery carries a hormone that addicts humans to her. A crime against the Coalition of Shape Shifters, Avery has to make things right or spend the rest of her life caged in a sanatorium.
Jude Felini is a shape shifting cat who is totally in love with Avery. Her bird, Avery's shift shape, compliments his cat to perfection. Knowing she has been with another man totally eats him up when he wants her exclusively for himself. Finding out about her crime of addicting a human to her, he gets himself appointed by the coalition to be her Keeper. Avery doesn't take kindly to Jude being her Keeper at first, but soon finds herself purring to his sudden closeness.
Avery and Jude are soon working together to right the wrong that Avery inadvertently made. The closeness soon has them in some very steamy situations. Wanting to stay together, they need to convince the Coalition of Shape Shifters that a long dead shifter ritual, the Triad Sacrament, must be implemented to bind Avery's pheromones to his permanently so she cannot addict anyone else.
Full of steamy scenes, humor, and a touch of the paranormal, KEEPER is a fun and delightful romp. Jude and Avery contain different layers to their characters that are slowly peeled way to reveal two people totally in love with one another. A fun plot had me turning the pages quickly to see what was going to happen next. This is the first work of Shaunta Grimes I've read, but definitely not the last!
