This was truly what the doctor ordered... sorry, I know, bad pun. 4.5 stars actually.

But in all honesty it was a great story that I didn't want to put down. There was no angst, no heartbreaking, soulsearching 'is this okay'... as I said just what I needed. Instead it was a hot, sexy book about a relationship that started unapologetically as a purely sexual one, but grew into so much more. Add to this hot doctors and a bit of kink and I ask you: what more does anyone want?

The story being told from both MC's point of view in alternating chapters did take a little getting used to, and at times I did have to stop to think in whose head we were in for a moment. But it also made sure we knew how they both felt throughout the relationship so it wasn't an issue for me.… (meer)

This is an extremely funny shifter story – and one of the most unconventional ones around. In this version of the world, shapeshifting is like a superpower, something magical that can happen anytime. And the best part is that Eric, the guy who turns out to be a bear shifter, doesn’t even know about his newfound abilities until Martin, his new lover, figures it all out. The reason behind what happens is particularly cute, and a pretty unique idea!

Martin and Eric are great together, Martin especially, and I got a front row seat because he is telling he story. Martin is clearly falling for Eric in a big way but he is hesitant about admitting it.
“Sleep cuddling?” Martin said.

Eric slung an arm across Martin’s chest and rolled in closer. “I think we have mutual sleep cuddling needs. Worked that out the first night you stayed at my place.”
Martin was quiet. It’s possible Eric was right, and that Martin was something of a stealth sleep cuddler.

A “stealth cuddler” indeed! But it doesn’t stop there! After some weird dreams, Martin and Eric start hiking together, and it is during one of those hikes that Eric begins to understand what being a bear shifter can mean – especially in the middle of the woods with a deluge coming down on them.

If you like a bit of humor with your shapeshifters, if a story about two men who are clearly made for each other sounds interesting, and if you’re looking for a read that is as funny as it is sweet, then you will probably like this short story.
