Review: Shifter Date: Hungry as a Wolf by Alma Black

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Standalone - Shifter Date #2
Release: December 5, 2016
Length: 117 pages

What happens when two shifters meet? They're ravenous for love.

Luke knows how to get what he wants. A lone wolf at heart, he has no problem filling his bed with willing partners. But love? It's not in the cards. But when he matches with his best friend's little sister on the dating app, Shifter, everything changes. Jasmine is a fiery lioness and totally off limits--but that makes her all the more alluring.

Jasmine has had a crush on Luke as long as she can remember. He's sexy, powerful, and alpha. But as his best friend's little sister, Jasmine knows she doesn't stand a chance.

When Luke swipes right on her Shifter profile, Jasmine is shocked. Could this be the start of something more?

But Power Shift is out for blood. They hate any interspecies dating, and will stop at nothing to keep the shifter lines pure. When they attack, can Jasmine and Luke protect each other? Can their newfound love survive?

Warning: this book contains crazy chemistry, lots of sex, and a little violence to keep things spicy. If those things don't appeal to you, this book is not for you!

MY REVIEW

This story was short, sexy and sweet and had a certain kind of charm to it. The plot was exciting, thrilling and a bit suspenseful, enough that I'm definitely going to stay tuned to this series to see how it all will play out. And the characters? Gah, they were adorable! Basically, Luke (a wolf shifter) has always wanted Jasmine. And Jasmine (a lion shifter) has always wanted Luke. These two finally get on the same page and when they do... it's explosive. Let's just say that Alma Black knows how to turn up the heat.

There's a Power Shift suspense element, Luke and Jasmine shift at one point to defend each other, these characters can't keep their hands off of each other, there's a love of a lifetime, and it all adds up to quite an enjoyable experience. I'm still considered a newbie lover of Paranormal Romance, but if stories like this one are what I can expect, then I'll be sticking around ;)
