Short but Sweet

This was a super cute short listen!
It left me wanting a bit more (I would totally read a fully fleshed out version of this), but I absolutely adore the premise of a shifter being nabbed by animal control and pushed through the adoption process to avoid discovery and their adopter catching them in their human form, then falling in love.
I really like that Rosie is vocal about how she’s a grown woman and capable of making decisions and conveying her desires without bubble wrap treatment, but also really like that Sawyer is so considerate and gentle with her.

The narrator is nice to listen to too, lovely voice and she’s really good at switching from story narration to dialogue which I find a lot of narrators struggle with.

Cute novella, although I didn’t love it

What I did like was the plot and story. It is a cute and refreshing idea. I didn’t think the execution was great. In a novella there isn’t much time for depth and character build.
I understand that, I can’t comprehend why the author would use so many words on inconsequential stuff, so the ending chapter Mrs as a complete surprise and not a pleasant one.

Professional narrated in British English.

I received a free copy through StoryOrigin and I’m leaving my review voluntarily.

short, fun, steamy and sweet

A short shifter romance listen. Fast paced but good storyline that is well narrated. Loved our female main character Rosie who comes across decisive yet open to the idea of shifters. Short but also fun, steamy and sweet! A great balance!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
