" Ugh, I usually enjoy Feehan's shapeshifter stories but this one featured an ultra alpha male lead who was too cavemanish and calculating for my taste. I mean he loved his kids because he knew it would impress his intended love interest, and spent time with them to let her see how caring he could be. Sure he eventually truly came to care for them, in his own stinted way, but this character's overall outlook and approach to life just turned me off. And yes I know he was damaged as a youth and had issues, but I still had a hard time connecting why the female lead fell for him. ( Other than hormones) "
